Yeah the manifold heat sheild is the next thing on the list, its only a little job so will give it a spray. Gonna make up a stainless heat shield one day maybe, but for now a paintjob will do

Fuel hose is up there to, should get off my ass and just go buy some haha. Will probably get a photo of the engine when the suns hitting it tomorrow. The whole bay needs a good clean but it'll get a respray and tidy up sometime next year, just not sure when at the moment

I'll probably not be able to townsville till about the 9th of December, let me know if you want the money for it now or cash when I pick it up

Let me know if thats no good and I'll organise to get it picked up

Palmyra opens for Test and Tune's every second friday night from memory. Had one the friday just gone

And the Airlie thing sounds good, your hotel was sweet lol

Edited by 89CAL

i am hoping palmyra is open good friday so i can have a run against you guys.

that hotel is sweet, wonder if we'll get kicked out this time.

engine is all good to be picked up and paid for then mate.

To easy, I'll be in touch before I head up anyway

So you planning good friday drags here then up to Airlie Saturday? Not a bad idea, I'll see if the calender is up that far in advance

yeah thats the plan so far, hopefully a few more townsville guys come this time.

i am going to start getting prices for accomadation in airlie beach for the easter cruise, just after numbers so i can get a more accurate figure.

so far the plan is to go mackay on good friday and race at palmyra drags if its open, then head to airlie on satday check into hotel, go for a drive get pics then let shenanigans begin.

where i am looking at for accomadation http://www.marinashores-whitsundays.com/at_Marina_Shores_Home.html

prices off their site http://www.marinashores-whitsundays.com/check_availability_hotel6.asp?Region=360&Town=Airlie+Beach&hid=9178&numAdults=1&numChildren=0&numRooms=1&roomType=0&lid=1&toPage=all&item=3&tranHost=&tranURL=&selDayStart=7&selMonthStart=4&selYearStart=2012&selDayEnd=9&selMonthEnd=4&selYearEnd=2012

i hope we can get a decent discount for a large group but really $200-$300 for 2 nights is pretty goo in my books. i think it cost me & phil $160ea for the night.

i will start a dedicared thread if get enough interest.

I can't believe this town...

My Mate takes his car into my favorite fabrication shop

- contractor does some work instead of usual staff

- contractor wanker proceeds to bad mouth me even though he's never met me, seen my work, etc. He'd "just heard some things" while pulling himself over the counter

- calls my mate and asks the stupidest question (says the new bovs won't fit because the old one is in the way..?)

- then SNAPS the front grille clean in half, and tries to hide it by "melting" the plastic together with something like a soldering iron.

Grille is $600 unpainted from Nissan.

My mate is f**ken pissed, and I mean really pissed.

Dodgiest flamin mongrel in the world....

If I ever go back to his shop I'll be specifically asking for them to not let this clown near my car.

Mackay is full of dishonest shit stains.

    • Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks! 
    • It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
    • Just a thought, but instead of restricting, is it possible to do like an "up for review" kind of thing? Where say someone who's not an admin/mod tags, it would require approval for it to actually tag? User posts with a 'tag' > Admin/Mod Reviews > Approves tag > Tag now exists kinda thing? Just came across this thread so Im not too sure if Im straying off topic or not but forgive me if i am...
    • Yes, a plan for non-action is always my first sort of plan! I'm happy to see what falls out of invision's update. I had been having some thoughts on what to do with this the other day and they all seem to have fled my memory, after various solar panel induced traumas, squeaking suspension sphericals, etc etc, over the last little bit. I'll try and recall what I had in mind and make sure that I put it into print in some form before the Alzheimer's strikes again.
    • The ability to have both a 5500 stall for launching, and a regular lockup for every other scenario is pretty sweet. Does it actually work well like that though in the real world? Would it hold up to track use and otherwise you'd never know you had a stall converter in it? If so, that's awesome
