BEEN THERE ... DONE THAT... Add 30kg+ of gear on your shoulders, 1200 rounds, light machine gun, spare barrels and all the crap ..... and not just in this country...... most leaches in one river crossing to date is 16.

lol @ Steve, spoken like someone who HAS experienced the "fun", & then 1/2 saw the light. Nearly there mate, another uniform swap and you'll be laughin' :P

Like Steve I too have played the games in snake's sig' (thankfully not as often as what Steve has) it's 1 minute of fun..... followed by a wk of shite! 2mins / 2wks & so on...

Think of it as if you were playing paint ball for a wk straight.... with no sleep & feeling sick as a dog, covered in shite, sweaty, wet.... ahh huge fun... NOT.

Edit: and no where NEAR the amount Snake has, thankfully! 15+yrs and MANY o/seas visits, most of them in luxury compared to Snake. Not all though, I've had my share of "fun".

Eating out of tin cans for weeks, cant forget that one, then there is the joy of wearing one set of clothes for a few weeks or more. Washing with a damp cloth and if you do get sleep, being woken half way through for an hour or two to make sure the bad guys dont get you, or some dill treading on you cos he isnt looking where he is walking, being eaten by insects, hmm water proof toilet paper, having to burst blisters and fill them with iodine, I could go on for ever:):D all good fun, thank god I was in armoured though, at least we got to drive most places.

Yeah, you RAAFies do it tough, I bet they even made you stay in 4 star accomodation when you were in Hawaii once eh Matt? or was that the UK? :D:D definately the only way to go.

Why yes old chap once in a while we did have to slum it out in less than 5 star hotels, shocking I know! You'd think the least they could do if we we're having to put up with going to war is give us decent lodgings. I mean can you imagine only having one waiter per table!!!! I was shocked. Worse still was having to drink tap water, rather than our usual Evian. :D

HAhah, i dont think u guys have the slightest clue wat u r goin on about. ive played heaps of video games and can tell u being in the army is the most fun u can have on ur legs.

LOL at matts comments, poor bloke, did u have to go thru treatment for the harsh conditions u endured?

On an unrelated note, matt ur avatar pic is sik!

Ex armour hey steve ...... leopards? ....aslavs?.......Bradleys? Yes i will agree with you steve, the list of "fun" never ends... and just when you think its all good the brass find another way to dick you around or shaft you.

LOL at matts comments, poor bloke, did u have to go thru treatment for the harsh conditions u endured?

On an unrelated note, matt ur avatar pic is sik!

I tell ya' Dean, it took quite a few sessions with the therapist to get over the harsh conditions of low grade 4 star hotels. :rolleyes:

Thanks dude. Yeah the Fullboost guys/girls are to thank for the avatar piccy, was hoping for more than one shot from the Nat's, but I'm happy with the pic they did take :P

im sorry to say that my car wont be spotted in SA anymore. We did the drive to Sydney, all was well, not even one stonechip or speeding fine! I used 3M contact adhesive all over the front bar, and end of bonnet.

NSW members, sorry to say, but it really sucks to drive around here, so much bloody traffic, so inconvenient to cruise anywhere!!! I miss little adelaide already. If i dont end up using the fly much it will be coming back to adelaide for holiday use!

And damn its easy to get used to power. Already planning to highflow the 2530 and injectors are in the mail!!

    • Do you have an IAT sensor? It's worth checking it to see. You may be suprised how little gap you actually need to flood your engine with hot air. (I tape up my airbox for a reason) :p
    • @KinkstaahKrinkle paint the "silver" alloy, not the red filter frame Engine bay heat won't be a issue worth worrying about as the silver alloy blocks it off on 3 sides, as for the top, the bonnet seals most of it and the big OEM CAI intake snorkel is still fitted in its original position  I will head into Clark's Rubber when I have some time to grab some pinch weld to tidy up the alloy after I paint it As for performance, I honestly wasn't expecting any, the only reason I got it is because the intake noise sounds cool to my old ears when I'm feeding it the beans Sometimes it's the silly things you do in in life that gives the most fun, and I do love anything that makes cool car noises In other news: I survived 4 nights at sea with Jackie not throwing me over board, holidays are continuing now as we are currently chilling at the Beachcomber in Toukley, after taking the coast roads from Sydney in the MX5, top down all the way, Toukley is where I spent a good deal of my youth holidaying during the summer months, there's lots of reminiscing going on,  and lots of beaches and old houses to visit Next on the list is to head to Batemans Bay for a few days, but we will take the Commodore out to stretch its legs, then Commodore hasn't really moved for months
    • There’s probably people who’d like to do it and then when it comes to putting their hands in their pockets they’ll all disappear into the shadows 
    • interesting....sounds like the later trans has software differences (or AM vs JDM). If I wasn't going down the tuning route it would be worth looking into retrofitting a new computer to the old box.
    • That's how it seems to me to. For the people that want huge power RBs (which it has been shown to do), this is great news, but that is not the same as trying to bring an rb 30 years forward....its not clear that there is a market of people who would pay 10s of thousands to do that
