Hey guys just after some info. Me and a couple of mates are coming up to the Gold Coast in a couple of weeks fro a week and a half. Just keen to know what cool to do around? PLaces to go out or even places to avoid? Fun stuff to do during the days? Stuff Like that. Any ideas would be cool, Thanks

Hey man you have to hit up Hollywood on Orchid ave and all the clubs there. All the theme parks!!! Movie world, Dream World, Sea World and if your crazy enough I think Wet'n'Wild is open. mate if your driving stay away from the spit unless you want to get hassled (Cops and Bogans Ha ha ha) do some water sports, I just went to a bucks week end where we went for a 2hr jet ski safari was awesome!!! Can be expensive though. Oh yeah don’t for get the casino!!! We also had a great not to expensive seafood buffet at waves at the watermark hotel. I love the coast!!! He he he

Hollywood on Orchid hey! i'll remember that so what are the good clubs to go to? also any good places to go see live music earlier in the night? you know to get ya a bit pumped up? Nah not drinikng so dont have to worry about that...i get hassled enough down here... will def be hitting up all the beaches.

Gold coast isn't really good for live music.. For that you're better off at the Valley in Bris.

Actually, I'd recommend everywhere other than surfers :) but if clubs are your sort of thing, there is a lot of that trash there (and I mean trash :))

    • Well some mostly good news and some slight bad news.  Good news is cylinder 6 did in fact only require a honing and I'm good to run my 86.5mm pistons again. I should also get the block back by end of week. Bad news, had a few surprises pop up. First, main and rod bearings were trashed. No sign of any heat damage. I knew right away what caused this... I had not packed my oil pump originally and spent a lot more time than I would have liked cranking the motor to get oil pressure. It sounded fine once started so I chucked it up to luck and forgot about it. Luckily rod and crank are fine and just need new bearings. Engine builder agreed that this was the cause.    Another surprise that carbon covered up very well that I didn't catch, something got sucked up and went through cylinder 1, 2 and 3. Luckily this was no cause for concern, just needed a bit of cleaning up. Valves look fine but he will vacuum test the head this week to confirm. I'm presuming this was something left over from welding my intercooler piping, but we'll never know. I'm going to thoroughly reclean everything.    So all in all, happy the motor is fine, and I'll get it back much sooner than expected. I'll also be taking the time to convert my WMI system over to direct port. I'll snap some pictures of that when the parts come in. 
    • I understand, thanks. Yeah I wouldn't want the car to tip over, I'll try and use the sills, I don't want to risk smashing the chassis rails. I ordered some rubber pucks that have a hopefully big enough slotting. If the front right gives me trouble I can always just make a wood block. I'll measure and inspect the sills closer once I actually take the car up. I hope so, but the rubber blocks I had in hand so far were pretty damn firm, if they are that hard they won't give much way. I'll let you know what happens. Angle grinding rubber isn't one of my favorite tasks. I'll probably start a build thread soon, for my own documentation and "log" as well as sharing what's going on with the car.
    • Kinda something I have been thinking about.  To be honest, we bought it already driving like that.  So there's no telling how long it actually has been driving like this.  Hopefully damage is too bad when we drop the pan.   I am having a hard time finding a site that sells the solenoid for the 5 speed auto, do you have any suggestions?
    • That'll be most likely down the road...  LOL  
    • a stock / option or aftermarket?
