Anyone Need To Be In Queensland Early Next Week?


Recommended Posts

Pffft. Haters :)

It's a gem of a car. About the only thing you can't do in 6th is roll off the line but it will pull away nicely from 50kmh cruising through small towns.

Now looking for the cash to get membership.....or hopefully James can call on me again.

And.....I didn't fill the tank but it needs detailing before next use anyway. Bugs vs RS4 = no contest. And auto wipers FTW!!

More detail to follow.

James, I can't tell you how much I appreciate the opportunity mate. I'll remember it for a long time.

lucky b#stard!!! would have been the best trip ever!

Oooh, I forgot to mention the blonde hitchikers. Actually didn't pick them up and barely avoided the rapidly reversing local built barge stopping for them but,....

Would be the perfect machine for that too, luggage and all.

now where's my finder's fee :nyaanyaa: heehee

lol @ Lunatikk.. nice find

Damn I'm so moving to QLD one of these days and working at Sanctuary Cove ;D

I don't know why J is still here, when he could be on the G/C AND work at the best place ever!!

James it was my pleasure and please call again anytime.

Feel free to use, edit and use, link to, or quote me on any of my comments or pictures as well. With your permission I will offer a more polished version to some magazines for possible publication with due credit and reference to your organisation.

Kaz, thanks for the heads up as well. I really enjoyed trying something different.

BTW, James cannot leave Melbourne. It wouldn't be the same without him, and by that I mean it wouldn't be any better. He is welcome to visit as often as he can.

James, just had a quick Q from a mate. Know anything amusing about this?

Has he heard about the Audi launch at Hamilton Island?

I'm not sure I got the full details...

Audi sent a few cars up there (R8??), and a few journos and interested buyers.

the first run, some guy takes off down the runway flat out...

was a small problem with the brakes (as in, they didn't work) - he left the end of the runway, but went down not up

not sure how true it is!

Thanks again for your help Geoff - great article too!

I'll be sure to call on you again :P

* and no, had not heard about that Audi mishap. Our R8 and the Ford GT are out at QLD Raceway today

Talk soon

J

    • Get something that can spray a bit, something like I'd use is a pressure pack for weed sprayer. I use one with degreaser. Spray it on (make sure you're fully covered up, you don't want that shit on you, especially face/eyes). Alternatively, a paint brush will help here as you can brush and work at the stuff quite aggressively.   Be aware, citric acid can eat metal away and will cause it to rust more later. So make sure you neutralise it when done, and give the fresh metal some protection. That hanger, I'd honestly bin and get something like the Frenchy's drop in replacement. The tank, again, I'd look for something else to replace it with. Remember, as metal turns to rust, it means there's less metal there now. So some patches of your fuel tank are likely to be quite thin.   Personally, Id focus on the front end of things, IE, how did the injectors get clogged if they're meant to be after a fuel filter. Then, once the front is sorted, I'd rig something up, even like a small surge tank, and make sure the engine is now running and all behaving. Then I'd replace the fuel tank and fuel hanger and pump. Also, I'd already be preparing to ditch your fuel filter...  
    • That's looking great! Are you planning to do things like all hidden wiring with it, or you're planning to have it look more like we'd expect an RB in an engine bay to look like?
    • Haha thanks everyone, I'll take everyone's suggestions into consideration. If I do eventually choose a car ill post it here update on the mods I do.
    • I found the ingredients at larger amounts from a Coffee Shop. 1kg Citric Acid for €8.50 500g Baking Soda for €2.50 I tried it out tonight distilled water (I got from my ACs) and dish soap. It does get bubbly with dish soap. In just two hours the hanger has improved significantly and rubbing against any remaining rust seems to flake it off. I'm going to leave it a little bit longer and see how it goes. I have read that someone even used this solution in an ultrasonic cleaner to clean a seized water pump which brought it back to life.
    • If you like more modern stuff than the R series, you should check out a V37 400R, they are pretty mod friendly
