[EOI] OzRenesis DIY Day

It has been a while since our last DIY day. We want to hold another in the near future but before we set the date and go for it, we want to know what you would like to learn/witness.

Our last DIY day saw us changing brake pads front/rear, and fluid changes.

The tuition videos we put together of that day are on youtube.com, if you search 'ozrenesis' you will be able to view those videos so you can see what we did last time.

So go ahead throw us some ideas. Sooner we get ideas, the sooner we can organise this

Ditto on the cabin filter change.

Installation and removal of a short shifter kit might also be helpful.

Half in jest I suggested in .com.au that you do Cromax's engine mounts. Having thought about it, why not?
