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 :(

    • Do a degree in mechanical engineering specializing in combustion systems and materials. Learn how to actually wrench on things that don't require 70k+ USD buy-in while you're at it. You also want to learn to weld and machine. If you still want to do this then you'll nominally have the knowledge to actually do what you're thinking of doing. Whether you still want to do any of that once you've actually gone through that process is anybody's guess. Personally I cannot imagine anything more frustrating than trying to package a supercharger under the hood of any of these cars when the turbos are already fighting for every last inch.
    • That's a function of the fuel pressure reg, not the pump. The pump can do more, needs to be able to do more. The reg keeps the pressure in the rail constant above whatever the manifold pressure is.
    • You need enough post count to have PMs enabled. It will come. They are not the same. The NA box is the skinny little box and the turbo box is the big heavy one, and the yokes are not interchangeable.
    • So, you're not talking about rebuilding the dampers, just putting new tops on them? You just need new tops and a spanner.
    • Hi All, Does anyone know how or who (shop) could rebuild my original R32 GTR Nismo struts? These are the OG logo ones that were a factory option back in the day. I've replaced them with aftermarket coilovers which are good, but the OG Nizmo struts tha i bought the car with i feel are amazing, just the rubber tops are worn and would need replacing... Plus it would make it 100 time easier for me to get the GTR fully engineered without adjustable coilovers... I was considering selling the OG suspension, but if i can get them rebuild / refurbished, I would seariously put them back on. Cheers, Tom   p.s. I'm in Sydney by the way and don't mind travelling if need be to get these puppies rebuilt.
