  1. Spotted a gun metal 32 broken down on the side of south road at aldinga. Stopped to help, but he seemed to have a snapped timing belt
  2. If you want some more pics, or to have a look let me know
  3. It's pretty sad how the trade is going, that's for sure. I see both ends of the scale, I work arvo shift in a dealership servicing holdens. They dont blatantly rip people off, but I think a lack of understanding on the service advisors part can lead to confusion, ie repairing minor issues before major ones because of cost. And then I run my own shop on an appointment only basis. I feel bad charging some customers for what is easy work, or just a check over. But because my customers actually like me and my service( and the fact that I charge 1/3 the hourly rate of a dealer) they normally insist on paying.
  4. Keep in contact mate, I'm not in a hurry to sell. My new car won't be viable till mid next year. Gotta get enough dollars through my business so I can get the new vehicle as a company owned toy
  5. if you're keen come to the next stagea cruise and have a suss, plenty of guys have done the manual swap and could give you a hand. And if you're talking 34 GTR front end, what better colour than Bayside blue
  6. the no kids, or the showing up
  7. loaded the Mira up today, ready for it's wheel align tomorrow, and dyno on Monday
  8. Going to see it tonight, after a nice anniversary dinner with the wife.
  9. I'll have to get some vids soon. Motorkhana season doesn't start till feb 2012, and it'll be my first time out so we'll see. I am taking it to work next week tho, where we have a huge carpark, might cut some laps and record some action. oh, and it may be getting dynoed next week too, just for a laugh
  10. Got all the mirrors and windscreen panel repainted black, they turned out okay so i tried the rear bar. came up good i reckon. Just don't know if it will stay that way. also added some spare number plates from the shed, just for giggles
  11. Have you seen any recent pics, he looks a fair bit different. Can't wait for the Motorkhana season to start!
  12. I can't, that's why I bought an automatic family wagon!
  13. Can I request that the cruise is as short as possible and doesn't involve any driving, I hate when I actualy drive my car Central meet point and hills sound good, too far north and I'll have to bring the guard dogs.
  14. bump. still for sale!
  15. pretty sure that the strut top mounts and possibly the springs are different
  16. Hooning is Not a crime!!!
  17. got all the body in primer today, modified the airbox for a bit more induction noise and took Dave the Mira for a lap around the block. It goes suprisingly well, better than i thought it would. Wheelspin through first and then some slight grip issues when flat changing to second! <br style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: <br style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left:
  18. well, just started it up, and it is very very......quiet, like surprisingly quiet, I had to remove the airbox just so it would have some induction noise. I'm actually a little disappointed to be honest, I wanted it louder, Guess i might have to make some custom headers for it and a bigger front pipe. Here's a vid of the first start up http://www.facebook....v=2435666326031
  19. got some work done on the Mira over the weekend, smoothed out some dents behind the drivers door, and coated it in spray putty This Mira is fairly rough, it is covered in carpark dents, and imprints from people leaning on the car. I'm just trying to get rid of the big ones, then i can paint it white again and ram it into motokhana cones And then i did more fun stuff today. sports exhaust time! made a pretty simple mandrel bent 2 1/4 inch system for it. It's a litlle on the large side, but i had the mufflers and pipe laying around so it was very cheap(ie free
  20. Already invited
  21. I'm down like a clown!
  22. Pretty sure 27th is the drag racing return to AIR
  23. Sad sad day
