If you really get stuck writeoff and can't make up your mind with all these great suggestions, I'll lend you the SLED for a night and you can take her for a spin along the coastline. :(

THANKS!!!!

I have printed this up and now have it in writing. ;)

dont set the bar too high $$ wise mate, and yeah dinner can be pretty stressful for a 1st date. something simple like going to chocolate on rundle st, or even getting a bunch o fish n chips n sitting on the grass down the bay is totally underrated. Places like that where there is plenty going on around u, give heaps of inspiration for conversation.

Oh oh, I think I might need a lawyer. :) Did you note the time I made the offer.......I must have been sleep walking & sleep typing. :P me!!

Never, never underrate fish n chips down at the bay, worked for me in my younger days.........just bring a couple of 'wet ones' with you, she might not like greasy fingers after.

You have to be kidding, its not that expensive

check out the menue here

The hilton is very over rated and not worth the visit. In my opinion it is trying to live off of a reputation that is no longer deserved. The food is OK (but no better than OK) and you can find food to match in many local PUBS. Whilst the hilton employ some top cheffs, most of the staff that prepare you meal are little more than kitchen hands (who like to call themselves chefs)

yes it is very overrated and the food (in my opion) wasnt that great. just the chef has alot to live upto.

i went for the tasting australia menu which cost me nearly 500 for the two of us consiting of 10 different courses. this menu wont be up on their site as it was mailed to us a week before hand.

it was my first and last time i will ever go there

SHIKI AT THE HYATT HOTEL IN TOWN OMG thats the best japanese restraunt place to eat!! they cook infront of you too heaps good if u want entertainment + food. OR u can go to BARIA at Catalina if parafield gardens ahahaa ....

If you're cashed up, Chloe's Restaurant is sensational - seriously one of the best meals I've ever eaten. I took my wife there, and we cracked $200 for the night, but it was worth every cent. I'm not into restaurant snobbery and was of the opinion that you reach a price where you spend more on a meal just for the sake of the restaurant's image, but the quality of the ingredients really impressed me.

For the best fish and chips on the planet, there's a place in Semaphore where you actually have to order half an hour in advance, they're that good. The name escapes me just now.

    • Well some mostly good news and some slight bad news.  Good news is cylinder 6 did in fact only require a honing and I'm good to run my 86.5mm pistons again. I should also get the block back by end of week. Bad news, had a few surprises pop up. First, main and rod bearings were trashed. No sign of any heat damage. I knew right away what caused this... I had not packed my oil pump originally and spent a lot more time than I would have liked cranking the motor to get oil pressure. It sounded fine once started so I chucked it up to luck and forgot about it. Luckily rod and crank are fine and just need new bearings. Engine builder agreed that this was the cause.    Another surprise that carbon covered up very well that I didn't catch, something got sucked up and went through cylinder 1, 2 and 3. Luckily this was no cause for concern, just needed a bit of cleaning up. Valves look fine but he will vacuum test the head this week to confirm. I'm presuming this was something left over from welding my intercooler piping, but we'll never know. I'm going to thoroughly reclean everything.    So all in all, happy the motor is fine, and I'll get it back much sooner than expected. I'll also be taking the time to convert my WMI system over to direct port. I'll snap some pictures of that when the parts come in. 
    • I understand, thanks. Yeah I wouldn't want the car to tip over, I'll try and use the sills, I don't want to risk smashing the chassis rails. I ordered some rubber pucks that have a hopefully big enough slotting. If the front right gives me trouble I can always just make a wood block. I'll measure and inspect the sills closer once I actually take the car up. I hope so, but the rubber blocks I had in hand so far were pretty damn firm, if they are that hard they won't give much way. I'll let you know what happens. Angle grinding rubber isn't one of my favorite tasks. I'll probably start a build thread soon, for my own documentation and "log" as well as sharing what's going on with the car.
    • Kinda something I have been thinking about.  To be honest, we bought it already driving like that.  So there's no telling how long it actually has been driving like this.  Hopefully damage is too bad when we drop the pan.   I am having a hard time finding a site that sells the solenoid for the 5 speed auto, do you have any suggestions?
    • That'll be most likely down the road...  LOL  
    • a stock / option or aftermarket?
