Yeah was pretty good just to watch, unfortunately a few big noter’s that were there were complete rubbish however.

Too bad the diesel was pretty heavy on the point where I kept on spinning, it’s damn right funny seeing the Lexus complete the whole round o bout.

Shame about your buddies’ car… Myself an a few mates bailed before the others an saw that sign on the way home…

Always next time to watch :)

Cyrus... I know you would have been keen to come... You can't hide it

the sign was somewhere near supercheap. it was a 2 legged sign. he hit it with the left rear quarter right in front of the tail light. the next day we started panel beating it out and its pretty much all done. all it needs now is a coat of paint.

nismo boy, my mate said you were doing pretty well. my mate that was in his missus car is going to look at a silvia this arvo. he's going to put the motor and box out of his drag car in there (a GH sigma with a sr20 in it - the motor is only stock with the usual mods -exhaust, cooler and more boost, but it ran a 12.5 at the 2005 jamboree). so when he puts that in he'll be out and about in it. it should handle a bit better than what he was going to put the motor into - a 1977 chrysler galant wagon.

Atleast some of the crowd was happy with some good old fashion Lexus fun. How’d you buddy go with that Silvia? I think anything will handle better then a Galant!!

We’re heading back out tonight; I’ll try and snap some happy pics.

Sambo, siff not wet weather ruckus isn’t fun, of course I’m talking about legal wet weather fun...

ha ha my mate has done up an old galant wagon. his dad now has it thought, its bright yellow.

that sign he hit wasnt the one i was talking about. the one i saw was down near the peregian springs roundabout, big mutha sign was bent pretty bad.

my mate ended up getting the silvia. its a natro, auto, ca18 (not that the motor will be in there long). paid $1800 for it and the body is perfect.

the galant wagon is a beast. its a 1.3 auto, with a burnt valve so its running on 3 cylinders. he decided against doing it up after he put a set of 14" wheels on it and it would just walk all over the road when it hit a bump.

    • The 1000ccs are side feeds but they're not currently installed, had my old factory ones in for leak testing purposes, only decided on them because front facing plenums and good top feed rail kits are out of my budget at the moment, are they really that problematic? Had a set of yellow jackets that lasted me 5 years, no real issues, only replaced them chasing this misfire issue that ended up not being ignition related 😄  
    • Are those 1000cc side feeds? If so, that's part of your problem. I have 1480cc and they idle at stoich on 98RON, and all the way to E85. Also your coil packs.....
    • Update for the sake of closure   Ended up getting the intercooler piping all sorted, new plugs and yellow jacket coils, and she was idling mint until it warmed up while I was bleeding the cooling system. Found the misfire to be localised to cyl 3 by unplugging coilpacks, ran a compression test, that checked out, then decided to get a mate to check if that spark plug was firing out of the motor. Upon cranking it over, with the injectors disconnected, the car actually fired and ran on a couple cylinders and heaps of fuel came out the top of cyl 3 I'd say that injector's either spraying incorrectly or spraying far too much, which is fine as I'm planning on replacing them anyway I'm planning on making about 250kW on flex fuel, and have a set of 1000cc injectors from ozautosport, obviously overkill but I'm planning on building the motor and running more boost further down the line, do you reckon they'd be too big for a smooth idle on 98? Thanks for the replies gents, much appreciated
    • I'm confused. You said you want to "remove the clear coat from most panels" but it sounds like you are actually doing a full respray? Few random things to add -  If you chase the blistered paint with 120 grit, I can almost guarantee you'll chase it down to bare metal (that's fine). But if you paint the car from here, you'll have nice little indents where ever the blistered paint was. The new paint won't magically level out the low areas, you need to fill them. Which leads me to the main point I wanted to add, make sure the whole car is flat before you paint it. All those areas with blistered paint you sanded out, make sure to fill them and triple check they are flat with a block guide coat. I'd also check the whole car is flat with a large block and guide coat but yeah up to you if you want to go that far.
