Got front bearings today finaly, both sides $90 odd from Saeco at Trade price. In other news as I had no idea on tuning and have been waiting for a mate to help she has been running way rich and fouling the plugs. Told my mate to take it for a run to have a listen for all the dodgy bearing noises and engine etc see how it runs and it had collected fuel vapors in the muffler or sum nuts and BOO-BOOM blew a massive split on the seam of the muffler!!! Sounds like a motorbike now (a sick one) scored that $10 carb and service kit off tard me last week so gana re-build that and mash that fecker in, new muffler by the looks of it.... sooooooo need this car on road, im operating business out of my wifes Mazda Cabriolet... nice enough ride but hey fuk it I want my Gemma!!! Bed urinals are beckoning in the morn! Nite! ;D

Fukn rats are out in force guys be aware! The TG is garaged and the lil feckers have eaten my washer bottle and dizzy cap... left leads alone surprisingly... Alongside the TG is the ragtop Mazda and OMG they muthaBarry Whiteers have gone 2 town on it. Radiator overflow bottle, HT leads, (1 chewed rite thru, 2 others surface chewed) the centre of the cone on the alarm siren is hanging off, various wire sheathing/insulation tape, foam insulation on air con pipes, and on both vehicles havn't done anything but look from the top and briefly at that with jaw on the floor. We have been loathed to lay poison as a couple of months ago we had them under control with poison which one of my dogs had a nosh on... this nearly killed her and cheated my wallet out of nearly $600... gana go get poison and make up some bait stations to keep dogs out... cannot friggin believe this nutse man sooooo suxx hard! Rats are also in the ceiling which we've been onto landlord about, slit eyed wanker doesnt give 2 nutses... layed poison up there on the last cycle but they keep coming back. At $700p/w rental just wanna go postal on the mofo, pest control spose to be on landlord, especially the fire hazrad rats can be when in ceiling chewing on wires etc... NOT GOOD! Anyways if any of yous have signs of rat activity be proactive and carefully lay out baits... especially if you have animals/kids. (kids are animals...)

Argh thats absolute nuts man. Sorry to hear!
Cheers for the heads up too. We have a whole heap of crap in storage, so it will definitely pay to keep an eye out for those little buggers. I guess they are venturing in doors for the cold, wet winter.

most baits = death by dehydration. rats have been known to attempt steel waterpipes bacause they can hear water inside- just go to the $123 shop and buy stickey paper haha. we have a infestation of mice- we got the parents but the little ones are so little they can litterally walk all over the traps. i sat there and watchd one (then i threw a pen at the trap and got the Barry Whiteer =D)

most of the ones I've used are anti coaggulents meaning they rupture internally bleeding to death which is what happened to my dog, we only noticed when the other dog nipped her on the chops and she almost bled to death. Had to get a transfusion! 3hundy for that alone...
