    Spring helper air bag setup would work well. Air it up when you drive, air it down when you race. Mount so it’s floating and not captive to diff so won’t change suspension geometry.

    I remember when this car was built on MCM... 2015? How fast time flies, it doesn't seem that long ago, but here we are almost 9 years later? Damn.

    Nice having your mate in background (dunno how to spell his name lol) asking questions and giving some banter seems to make the videos flow better and gives a nice back and forth. Videos have been great recently and its nice to see the Cresta again 😊

    With regards to the trailer, consider establishing registration sanz brakes, add the brakes after establishment. Negates the need for annual inspection and the cost is dramatically less to renew, in NSW

    I'm relieved you put the belt on the right way!

    Wilwood makes a metric adjustable brake proportioning valve, 260-12627. I don't know if that is the right threading you need for the cresta, but maybe it'll work for you.

    every time you start your engine without a filter on that turbo intake I get anxiety of that old video where a rag gets sucked in during a dyno run

    electric brake upgrade for the axles on the trailer is mvp, best upgrade i did on my bagged dual axle car trailer, now use a redarc towpro can manually activate the trailer brakes, works well coming down the Adelaide hills back into the city from the bend.

    E36's don't give you depression, they empty your wallet...agree on the comments about the E46 though Benny ;-) Good to see the Cresta getting some love

    Nice one Benny, excited to see what the old girl can do back home.

    The Sigma should have a metric joining nut on the firewall near the trans tunnel and Willwood do metric/imperial adapters for their adjustable prop valve.

    Is it worth looking at air bag spring supports? For the Mazda Bongo and other vans, you can add an air bag inside the spring. When extra support is needed, you add air into the bag via a standard tyre inflator. The valves can be mounted in a more accessible location like the boot, to save going under the car when the pressure needs increasing or lowering. It does change Ride height, just the rear spring rate.

    Just want to say, I put towels and clothes in the same wash and don't get fluff lol. Also definitely also put white tshirts in with the rest, if it fits it sits

    It’s cool colloquialism that Aussies use the vin code to ID the model where here in the US I’ve always used the year. Except for a few cars like the civic and rx-7
