But i have my car atm so i would need a definite lift if people are keen to have a bbq. Cheers Rob

why do you need a lift if you have your car?

I would offer you a lift but you live too far away :cheers:

I 2nd moving this to Events section, give some newer people a chance to attend cruises etc...unless we just want regulars? Edit my post where you see fit.

I'm there as long as there are drunk women and a photocopier... preferabbly both... ahhh much fun was had at previous chrstmas parties with drunk women n photocopiers...

someone go out get food put in there own money

people chip in whatever they want, last bbq at bmt it ranged from 5 to 10 to 20 moneys so whatever is payed can be given back to the person who bought the meat (unless they wanna donate) and then the rest towards the club either to the forums or in the treasurers pocket

I can bring copious amounts of chicken and chicken products (were talkin marinates, kebabs, chicken meatloaf etc etc) as my cuz works in a chicken shop and he gives em to me for free (my freezer is full of chcken)

OK - shall we get confirmations going on before we open it up to all?

Which day - Sat 20th, or Sun 21st?

I know Sat was originally discussed - but we tend to have more success getting people along on Sundays.

Is there a BBQ at Elwood beach carpark? Obviously parking is easy there - but we need to confirm cooking facilities. Other possible location is the Yarra next to Botanical Gardens. Again, ample parking and good BBQs.

I think - yes - for open invitation. Also - yes - for BYO, but we could easily do a pool of sausages/chicken etc and collect some donations on the day (like the pre MAS one at BMT).

Would be good to get all this confirmed by Thurs of this week so there is ample time for people to arrange themselves to be able to come along.

Sorry guys,

was moving house, no net for a few days

Yes, lets make it a public event. Yes there are BBQ's and plenty of parking at the beach at the spot that I'm thinking of (only problem is there are parking fees - $2/hour, $6 daily max)

I would prefer Saturday but I can swap my shift if Sunday is better for the majority... but frankly as we know theres no way of satisfying every1 so we just have to decide on a day

The BBQ is best left at BYO I think, particularly because we never know exact numbers etc. It should be a great day though.

I will post Melway Refs and a map ASAP.

    • Yeah 98 for me, and 6.7/100 was my actual usage. On the downside the bloody thing still isn't running properly but at least they hybrid system is happy now. It starts but missfires like a bastard, and isn't throwing any code except "missfire". Thanks scoop. I did notice the AFMs are reading quite different at idle 1.33v and 1.67v so 25% variance (and have both changed and swapped them, the issue stays on the driver's side afm) so I'm looking for exhaust restriction (mouse nest?), compression issue or (hopefully not, no physical damage seen) wiring issue. Throttle might also be an issue but that is harder because you can't swap them side to side and not cheap to fire the parts cannon at.
    • I hope you're right and it somehow justifies it's existence!
    • actually, I've had one of those for a while and it gets more use than you'd think. Yes catching subframes, engines etc coming out under a car on a hoist, but also getting heavy stuff on shelving (to a certain height) without a forklift, holding the fuga's hybrid battery....like many good tools you'll find the jobs for it once you have it
    • Right, so God, it's been nearly 12 months since my last confession....  The main confession is I'm a horrible car modifier (amongst other things).  Obviously the pool was a massive distraction for the entirety of last year but really doesn't excuse me for doing nothing at all on the car for this year.  To be honest this year was a mental break to get over the extreme mental torment and pressure I put myself through putting the pool in!  It really was a slog.  The pool is still not completely finished but it might never be....  The kids love it and the wifey and I love it so mission success! I have spent a grand total of 30 minutes working on the car since when I commenced on the pool.  I just have not had a spare brain cell to be able to focus on it.  The thought of working on it just seems abhorrent to be honest.  My heart is just not into it.  Yet..... What I have done is decide that I'm a clown to not paint ALL of the underside of the car while I'm at it.  Originally I was stopping at the start of the rear subframe to then "get back to it later on once I'm ready".  Let's be honest, later on might never happen so may as well keep diving in!  I'm already balls deep so may as well go a bit deeper! So......  I've just purchased a hydraulic scissor lift table to be able to take the rear subframe out as a whole unit without having to dick around with jack stands rolling around on the ground.  Us 6' 8" blokes don't operate well at ground level! One of these- Anyway, will the investment in an expensive tool that I'll probably only ever use for one job motivate me to crack on?  Only time will tell..... Wish me luck!
    • Yeah the ACL and similar formable heat shielding materials are really nice. But most people do not have the patience or talent to do a good job like that. Almost anything is better than nothing though. Even if you didn't form it closely like that and just had a slab of it slipped in between the manifold and somewhere/thing you wanted to protect, you would gain benefit. There has to be a market opportunity for people like Artec to make formed heatshields to suit their cast manifolds. The fact that they are cast means that they are consistently the exact same dimensions and they could add bosses to the castings like you see on stockers to allow heat shields to be firmly attached yet floating away from the manifold itself.
