Eddey's V6 - The Ghost...
Re: Eddey's V6 Profile
I have now been to 3 different Pedders, and got 3 very different Reports!
I've been hearing some clunking sounds recently, when driving over bumps in the roads!
These sounds were coming from the Passenger Side Front, and upon inspection it turned out
that the FRONT TOP STRUT MOUNTING PLATES had collapsed... So I'll need to get these Replaced!
I'll also replace the FRONT TOP STRUT BEARINGS while I'm at it... Who knows what the condition
of the current bearings are going to be like... Well, I shall soon find this out
The Lower Control Arm (Wishbone) Rear Bushes, were also in need of replacing!
I did some shopping around, and the 'Lower Control Arms' complete were not very expensive at all,
so I've decided to order Both Control Arms complete! That will give me new bushes and new ball joints!
I'm hoping this might help correct the Camber issue, that causes the inner front tyre wear!

Re: Eddey's V6 Profile
A New Discovery for Me Today! LOL
After Owning the Car for 8 Years!
There's actually a 'Seperate Internal Light' inside the Glove Box!
It turns on when the door is opened, and turns off when the door is closed!
Being that there was a faulty light globe in there all this time, and that I rarely
open the Glove Box, I only just found out about this today...

The Calibra is Indeed an Exquisitely Shaped Vehicle!
Personally, I think the Colour 'White' Best Suits The Calibra!
I'm going to Post a Few Photo's for all to Admire!
