lol Cheers guys,

Its sure is coming along slowly. Basically once my mate has done all the welding its time to get it rolling for Lance walker to make up a sick roll cage for it, then onto paint.

Main parts now is coilovers, brakes and dog box, then possibly a cf tailshaft, billet driveshafts, then focus on interior.

Interior shouldnt be too hard..

Driver Seat, steering wheel, speedo, rev gauge, and a seat for the chicks to sit on..must be reclineable. :)

knowing our luke he'll find some way to have some hydraulic hidden double waterbed with the optional back massager built in to the boot and rear seating compartment. you wont be able to see it, till he presses his james bond button, and then the sheepskin upholstery and dom perignon will pop up out of nowhere (and there will be an xxl size edible cherry condom located in the ashtray incase out hero finds himself in a spot of bother...(

-D

think i may have just found my half sister on FB :D shes a mutual friend of my cousins on that side of the family

which in turn will lead me to my old man which i havent seen in 20 years....

not sure if i add her and see what happens or leave it......

yeah, i dunno man.....

doesnt really seem like he has made an effort, last time he seen me was when i was 3.

how could ya do that?

if me and my missus broke up, theres no f**king way i could never see my son again, not even for a week!

let alone 20 years....

some things may be better left unchanged.

do it mate

family IS important no matter what.

As someone who's basically had nothing to do with their family in over a decade, I disagree. They've made no real effort to keep in touch since my parents kicked me out, why would I bother trying to keep in touch with them.

My friends are my family, and they've stuck with me more than any of my 'real' family has.

I'm in the same boat mate, except 21 years :ninja:

My thoughts on it are on par with most of what you've written ^

Some of you need to get off the high horse that you rode in on, people have extenuating circumstance's in there live's all the time. I cant speak for your dad craig but coming from 2 similar situation's it's easier to do than you think. My first child i wasn't apart of his life because the mother had an altermatem put on her by her parents its either us or him, you stick with him and we wont help you she stuck with them because i was only 17 and was very immature.

2nd child yas about 4 years after the first we were together 4yrs in total 2 childless and 2 with my son after things fell apart my best mate ran off with her which i took pretty hard hit the bottle big time and hit drugs just as hard for many years i hated them both and wished i would meet him on a bus so i could smash his face in through all this drinking and anger i didn't look for a relationship with my son to which i deeply regret. So here is the question do i not deserve the chance to get to know him or do i deserve all his friends telling him your old man is an effed up looser dont have any thing to do with him?

Iv.e been sober ever 10 year's now and been a contributing member of society, i have had the chance to meet him in court when he asked to change from a hyphened last name to a last name that matches the rest of the family, through that i send christmas money and cards to his grandparents and asked for his mum's mobile number oh he was 15 when i met him and my first son was 14 when i met him, he has since turned 18 to which me and Jema stayed at there house for a week and took him to sydney and stuff, in my personal opinion make the decision your self dont take the advice of e-friends

This has not been reread or corrected for gramma just straight from my heart to you

i see what your sayin man, i really do..

but my mum hasnt ever tryed to stop him finding me, our number has always been in the phone book

and his new wife is still in touch with my aunty, and i still have his last name!!

he has had plenty of avenues to get in touch with me, theres obviously a reason why he

hasnt that im not aware of, so ill leave it at that...

i have my own little family to worry about now.

He may be at a point where he is too embaressed to contact you Craig,

Just do it man - You don't have to be 'happy family' with him - but atleast you will have no regrets in formally meeting your blood father. Imo you got nothing to loose and everything to gain in just 'meeting him'. Like I said, you don't need to be happy family but atleast give it a go.

Steve, I see what you are saying and I feel for you, but my case has nothing in common with yours. Im happy to discuss details with you in private if you like but it sure as hell wont be posted on a public forum. Saying get of your high horse is a bit innappropriate for such a sensitive matter.

    • Just something I found searching for more info on Emotion R, apparently the ECR33 Skyline GTS25t was either originally black, or there were two of them, the black one being the original demo car, then building a white one which was part of the 1997-onwards (to at least 2008!) Cockpit Tatebayashi Tokyo Auto Salon booth demo cars. It appears that Emotion R closed down in 2008 and was declared bankrupt in 2010: http://bank-db.com/hasan/208365.

    • Try fabricating something like this and install it under the pedals? Not sure if it's legal or not....
    • Even though I have some pretty good (brand) ratchet ringies, I avoid using them to break open tight bolts. A broken ratchet is very annoying.
