ah k.. bit big for me :P

i want some ~5mm ones i think, but then they dont bolt on, and are dodgy.. might just leave it :)

if you got some properly machined spacers, with CBL rings machined in, and put longer than factory wheel studs in, you would be on the money and it'd be totally safe, and more than likely satisfy the cops with a suitable explatnation given as to why you run them, eg rim offset is correct

that said, a lot of cars do run small tolerances between calliper to rim..

1.3k in one month - when you join the 2k+ club then come and have a beer with us.

Cars are dam expensive man!

Hey Strich9...when I get back in April will have to have that beer for joining the 2k+ club. 4k so far, with another 4.5k next week and then only about 6k more to go :P I think the total over a few months is going to be around 14k or so :D at least it should go well once its finished...until it fries the clutch :D

21k in one month, ad still goin strong :D

Nice! was that including purchasing a car? :D (I like the siggy too)

My brother has a hefty bill coming his way. His car needs a lot of work including head gasket and hoses, thought he'd be cool and "do-a-wheelie" on his 2006 KX250 motocross racing bike and funked the exhaust and some guards, then let his GF drive my dads magna and she punctured the sump on a curb...stupid stupid boy!

Well, Ive out done my January efforts during the past month.

Bought a D-Jetro and a PRofec B which I am getting installed and tuned Tuesday 28th :P can't wait...

All up this will put the cost at $2552 including the install of both. I am nowhere near you guys and your $8000 monthly expenses but I don't even get $2500 total wages :thumbsup:.

im jealous guys. for the past month or so i have not even been able to put fuel in my gtr and i have had to use my wifes sil instead. i was supposed to be going out to the mines which would have brought my automotive dreams come true but i was let down at the last minute. i am still trying to get out there though so if anyone knows anyone let me know.

i am starting a new job this thursday which should see an extra $350 a week in the hand so after a few bill are up to date i can start working on the cars again .

Jobs in the mines arent that hard to come by really. The old Fella works for pilbara iron down here in the city and they have just realeased >300 positions ranging from t/a's to top level managers. Sure to find something there. Best way is to send your resume out to the major companies woodside, pilbara iron and bhp ( and a few larger contractors). They all have dedicated recruiting departments who are always very helpful and efficient. The local shires up there are also always looking for labourers etc, taking home over $50 -60 an hour.

Good luck!

Been there, done that - add another 1k to the list for a good clutch ;(

hah yeah already replaced the centre plate previously on my ORC super single, but somehow I dont think it will last with the new gear on...seeing as how it was already starting to slip in 3rd when pushed hard after less than 10,000K

What is a good clutch you would recommend? I have heard a lot of good reports about Jim Berry's clutch upgrades...or was looking to upgrade to the ORC twin plate.

Cheers
