Hey guys, I'm Nigel, a member from Adelaide.

I'm asking for a large favour for monday (04/08/08)

Myself and a mate land at Brissy airport at 9am, and need to get to Morayfield to pick up my new beast from another member, ready to drive home to Adelaide. I would greatly appreciate a lift from a generous member if it was in any way possible. The trip will of course be rewarded with petrol money. The trip is 45kms approx, and would prefer a faster and more economical alternative to a $100 taxi for a <45 minute trip.

I also need to make my way to Queensland transport on piper street at Morayfield also, but thats only a $15 taxi from the car's location, so i have that covered.

Hoping that a member finds it in thier heart to give 2 guys a lift on thier way to work or whatever.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Nigel.

cant help with the lift but i'd suggest the train

yeah i was gonna suggest the train whist reading too.. would be alot more convenient.. take train to neatest station and bus/taxi it to his house then drive to qld transport.. alternatively if your just looking to trade in the plates just drive to adelaide and trade them in there.. its do-able

i would have been willing to give you a lift but have to work

good luck with the new car :)

i figured most people would be working. Time is an issue, hence i dont wanna wait for the train. Already checked the time tables, and i'd be losing over an hour of precious travel time. Car is unregoed, so cant drive it till i get permits from qld transport, hence all the taxi's.

Hmm I'd be happy to run you around for the morning but not sure I can get the time off work ><

Surely there is someone on here who works casual work or something?

We don't have any luggage by the way, nor do we smell.... (contrary to rumours)

Easy way to make $50 for 45 minutes of someones time?

We need to hit the road to home by about 11am, so thats why i'd prefer no taxi queues or trains.

Cheers guys

Heading down the coast that day for work so can't help you out. No offence but you probably should have picked a more appropriate username before you posted this request lol :) Good luck and hope you find someone to take u there!

haha yeh, i realised that this morning. "BIT SUS" are my rego plates here in SA, they used to be on my track spec forester. :O

PM Sent..........

Thanks for your help guys! A very generous member has come forward to the rescue!

i'll post up some photos of the new whip when she's home safe after a 2100km journey.

did i read correctly?

track spec forester?

i didn't realise there were track spec station wagons....

unless the race includes picking up shopping, kids from rugby etc. sorta like what the v8 should do to make it more realistic....

"track spec" =

110KW NA

1290kg

racing logic coilovers.

full whiteline range

18x8's

5 degrees castor

-2.5 camber

handled like a go kart. really miss it ;) was perfect for hills runs would outrun bikes

Haha nah it's true, any decent car will out-corner a decent bike. Look at the difference in how much rubber is on the road - two contact patches the size of a 20c piece versus four big 235mmx20mm or whatever patches. A well-ridden bike can be damn hard to catch but a well driven car should be able to hold more corner speed, the only saving grace for the bike is that it can use wider lines but it takes a LOT of commitment to ride that hard.

It's fun trying though :blink:

    • The NZ wiring kit is a 1/3 the price and will be perfectly fine for your application, I've ran one for 6+ years and many others have. Comes as a full plug into factory connector and the settings for a Link. https://www.nzwiring.com/index.php/product/trigger-kit/ Always comes back to the tuners knowledge and experience with a tuning platform. It takes years to become proficient and learning all aspects and capabilities. I've been using Links for 16 years now (rb and sr paltforms) and always learning something new with adding tables, diagnostics and data logging. Stay 98 for the usability and keep it simple so you can enjoy the car more. With experience I'll give you a current example of the industry I am in. They use Motec m190 and only use VE tuning when they have a torque mapping available and would solve the "PARITY" issues that plagues the category all because the muppet doing the tuning doesn't understand the platform or want to learn it and the product seller have no idea on its full capabilities ( I had a good laugh as when firing up an older car that just got completed and they didn't understand the injector scaling or how to change it for different fuel being used)  
    • I'm sure there are specific hygrometers for it. But if you can just throw a high enough ranged temp sensor (theromcouple that came with your DMM, for example) into a pot of it on the BBQ, you can see when it boils.
    • I have multiple bottles in a shed that gets hot, and I'm in SEQ, so it's humid. Maybe we test their theory... Anyone have a system to accurately measure moisture content in oil?
    • Yeah, that and throwing away opened, part used, closed back up bottles has got to be bullshit. Brake fluid sits in not-very-well sealed master cylinder reservoirs for literal years and keeps working (albeit we know we should flush it every couple of years - it actually still works). Anything kept in a bottle in the shed with a tightly capped lid has got to be a million times better than what has been in the car for the same length of time.
    • Wait, they're claiming UNOPENED fluid has a shelf life of only 18 months?
