  1. I think this is the guy I used: Commercial Metal Polishers 372 Martins Rd Parafield Gardens 5107 (08) 8281 7033
  2. Insurance is the killer for many sporting venues far less dangerous than motorsport.

    Bad Tattoo

    Fortunately mine are actually what I was told they are.
  4. Press release here: http://www.adelaideraceway.net/press.html

    Hampstead Duc. I'll probably be gone before it's available anyway, at least where I'm moving to is definitely ADSL capable, just have to wait and see if it ever gets 2+!
  6. I believe Martin runs 450+rwkw of Turbo V8 grunt through a 3" exhaust on the clubby.

    Duc, we're about 2km from the exchange, which is "planned" with internode. Problem is that Northgate runs off RIMs - we had to wait ages for ADSL to be available at all.

    Yep, Telstra cable is great value for money if you can get it. At my old place I had downloads of up to 700kb/sec back when 512 adsl was over $100 per month!

    Unlimited upload traffic with Internode. It's not counted towards your data limits. I'm with them on 512/128 and couldn't be happier with their service.
  10. That just about sums up life in general really. Unfortunate but true.
  11. Yeah, it's pretty poor.
  12. Surely not Joel? Isn't your head all nicely redone recently? I'd be pissed if I was having valve spring issues so soon after a job like that, sounds too much like incorrect parts selection for the intended application.
  13. I've heard about guys on the line having competitions to see how crooked they can put bolts in and the like.
  14. Pre-VT Commodores had all sorts of sub frame issues. Far less common in the later models though. Yes, it scares me some of the people that screw these things together out there too!
  15. What a small world it is. I know Matt and his Mrs too!
  16. I see you lots of mornings then. Usually about 7:30 or so.
  17. As pkblade says though, reading the Ausrotary thread it seems it may not go ahead even if the gear is fixed.
  18. Great post SK, but the bit I've quoted is not entirely true. A well built modern day converter should still retain sufficient efficiency to drive nicely on the street. Although it's not a Skyline, I have a 3000rpm converter in my car, and it is efficient enough that it will still creep at idle if you do not have your foot on the brake. When you accelerate lightly, it "flashes" to a higher rpm than it would with a standard converter, but not to full stall speed. Stomp it and of course it will flash all the way. I love my converter, but my advice to ANYONE considering this modification is to drive a car equipped with one before deciding - they are definitely not for everyone, as they change the characteristics of the car greatly. As for the recommendations for MV Automatics, I live in SA and know a number of people who have had trans work done by them in a range of cars. I'm yet to hear a bad story.
  19. The law actually says you have to run the cat over. I'm serious too.
  20. Congratulations. Happy motoring. chops
  21. I had a guy run up my arse once and then not stop. I reported it to the police, and when I was talking to the duty officer, I was informed the police do not consider an accident to have occurred if there is less than $1000 total damage! It sucks, hope it's not too dear to fix.
  22. Spotted, awesome 3 way - 32, 33, 34. All at Mel and Pawley's place!
  23. I love the keyboard tuffkunt image bandied about in this thread. Most of you would do exactly what Joel did... nothing.
  24. Who knows what pension if any there will be in 35 years when I hit retiring age... a LOT can happen in 35 years.
