Hi Everyone,

Yep been a long time I know but hey im a busy girl!

Just found out Lauren and Paul are engaged, congradualtions! Found out through the old grapevine, thought gez I havent stuck my head in here in about 12 months or so, thought id make sure everyones well and behaving themselves!

Anyhow... Im very well, working very hard now in realestate (yeah i know i was studying teaching, still am but slowly at the moment) and have 2 other jobs too. You guys would be proud, i have finally bought a car... Its a classic and im restoring it (getting my hands dirty and doing it myself too... loving it), going to look mint! Will be a real head turner, well it is at the moment but possably for the wrong reasons.

So, wanted to say hello to all the oldies on here, dan, lauren and paul, liz and dan, Micko, Joe, and all the rest.

xxx Kylie

1972 VW Beetle, Yellow. Ive wanted a yellow VW bettle since i was err 5. We are currently experiencing a few problems, What fun i had when it set on fire! Its prob louder than what troys skyline used to be, pretty much missing an exaust, had a little bingle on the front, fixing it myself, im quite the pannel beater!, havn't had to do much to the engine (its in pretty good condition for its age), do have plans to put a porche one in though eventually, getting it resprayed shortly, and slowly doing up the interior bit by bit. Great things about classic cars is they are simple, and most the stuff you can do yourself. But its quite funny when your driving along and things just "fall off"

Hmm as long as its not a wheel or something i could see the humor. I had the same sense of humor with my c210, i look back more kindly on that then i did at the time though.

It has been a while indeed. Good pick on the beetle i love those little things though you are getting dangerously close to being part of our arch nemises the WRX crowd ;P

Realestate is indeed the place to be right now maybe you could find me something thats under 400k and not a 2x1 tin shed in kalgoorlie :(

Booster, you could get a villa in Mansell st in morley that is a very smart buy at the moment for $380. At the street behind there is a block of apartments going up and a cafe strip proposed, meaning the price mansell st will skyrocket. Its a 3x2. If you put offer in for 370 i think she would take it. No strata fees their either. Let me know.

nahh cant do the NOR stuff. has to be SOR and not past south st. Free standing would be ideal. Good tip though.

buying area for shaun

Im kinda holding out for a while to see if the default rate increases and i can get a bargain some place. Prolly get a dump on a big block so i can mess with it. Im pretty keen on girders and the consequent wall destryoing they can provide. Problem is id blow 50k on a kitchen pretty easy :(

    • Yes, an R34 workshop manual is downloadable. The R32 GTR one which is findable everywhere would also do the job, seeing as almost all those bolts are same-same enough.
    • It can be hit and miss, I can fit 15mm ones on the v37, but only because the wheel happens to have voids on the mounting face that allow it to fit. Have you checked the mounting face of the wheel and know it will not sit flush? Rather than cut (or try and find shorter) studs, just buy a thicker spacer (unless clearance from the wheel to the guard does not allow it), then everything is reversible in future
    • Obviously you need shorter studs (don't just cut the original studs off!) and really short nuts that will fit in the spacer. Thus exposing the problems with thinner bolt on spacers.

    • does anyone know tie rod torque setting and anti roll bar for r34? Is there a workshop which shows various components torque setting?
