Hey Bard. If you are coming along you can have a thrash of my car :D

I will be there at the start to get it all runnig, but i have to leave around2pm....so no point in me taking a spot for this one :laugh:

Next one, for sure!!!

Aw wish i could go to this one! My birthday party is that night and i'll be setting up for it during the day :laugh:

I really enjoyed the last one i went to, guess i'll try and get into one around Jan/Feb and have another go :D

double skipdan would be awesome.

Keets, if you want to have SOME part in this event, i dont mind taking your R for a lap or 3. I have a good reord of keeping cars on the black stuff. I do have 1 or 2 indiscretions are on record though. (have about 10 more off record haha)

Yeeeaaaaah...about that aaahhh...I'm gonna have to go ahead and say aahhh no.*sip coffee*

Next time Bard :blink:

Lol.

1. Tyres not come - called up. Money bounced back - entered wrong account number. Repaid there and then. (Over east)

2. Ossy park for a helmet.

3. Frantically rang tyre places trying to find some 245-275 tyres, 2nd hand.

4. Found one in ossy park, got down there @ around 10am, only to find they had no record of the phone call we had earlier. Thankfully one of the lil indian dudes put his hand up and found 2x 255s

5. Problem, golf at 11am. (Wheels at home, rolling on mates rims)

6. Rush home, rush back with car full of wheels, deposit wheels to tyre place. Rush off to golf.

7. Golf canceled, rush back to tyre place and stuff wheels back in car (they wanted $50 to fit them, rofl).

8. Put wheels on, with cheap rear tyres, go home and tell sau about it!

This better be good :rofl:

Go to Helmet House in East Vic Park. He has DOT, SNELL & AS approved full face for $129.00. OK for events like this, would consider something better if you have aspirations of becoming the next Schumacher :rofl:

    • 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?
