Midnight Marauders

[Mr Eps]

Hey guys (and girls)

Think of this as more a WA whoretown place where we can just... chat.. and give each other oiled backrubs advice and the likes

Jason as you well know i went to toodjay today - first of all, phone GPS doesn't work that good when you're on vodafone out there... so luckilly i took a three pronged stick to find my way around

secondly

the "auto district" is very confusing

i talked to "country wide windscreens" so im looking for countrywide windscreens. do it find it? NO.

so i over shot the mark by a fair bit - ended up driving into "historic toodjay" by mistake... school just got out...

there were kids EVERYWHERE... all staring at my car, calling out to me smiling and making hand gestures etc, was a great feeling!

then, i would down my window to see what they were saying...

i've never heard a 4 year old kid tell me to "RIP A SKID YA KUNT"

i laughed it off and thought "litte terror"

then a first grader yelled out (seriously how the f**k does a first graders voice break? i dont know. but seriously this 6 year old sounded more gravelly than clint eastwood for real)

this kid yells out

OI ILL GIVE YA 5 CENTS FOR YA CAR MATE ITS A PIECE A SHIT

at which stage about four more jabs where made, i started to realise that the "hand gestures" probably meant they had ear marked me for death.

so i did what any scared guy would do.

i went to caltex and bought a cheese sausage. (did i mention the clatex there is build out of clay and gravel? no shit. clay. and. mother. effing. gravel.

anyway while at caltex i saw this BIG sign there for the panel shop. and EVEN BIGGER ONE for the tyre shop

then there's an A6 piece of paper with WINDSCREENS OBRIEN TRADING AS countrywidewindscreens

so i thoguht cool. time to get my shit DONE.

so i went there - got locked out of the premises cos of "insurance purposes" (did i mention toodkay gets f**king ICY once 4pm hits???)

anyway

work got done - was ALL smiles cos of the price they charged - $330 supplied and fitted... then got in my car... they'd stuffed up my wipers (and fair enough, if you don't konw a cefiro - you don't know that they retract under the bonnet)

but then the money shot. i drive with coilovers. toodjay is a bumpy ass road. they totally stuffed up my rear view mirror, the rubber connector was missing - they left the shroud off.. thing was rattling like crazy!!!!

but that's all fixed now. i found the rubber connect between the seats, and the shroud was just put on by the kid so fair enough he didnt get it first go

my REAL issue is

(this is why i actually made the thread in the first place)

is i fixed my windscreen wipers..

now - with the wiper arms OFF... (as in - JUST the bolts are there) turn wipers on.. they spin ... up, down... then switch them OFF...

the go again and retract - like cefiro wipers are supposed to do...

but when i put the wiper arms back on...

they won't retract!!! the second i put the wiper arms back they just stay out like what a normal car does!

any advice from you guys?

[Dorigecko]

Excess friction on the new windscreen?

Not once did you actually spell Toodyay correctly.

Possible that your wiper motor is faulty somehow by some insane friggen miraculous wiper-motor-failure-induction-type thing.

It's probably just needing a small rebuild but, yeah sounds f**king strange to me. I wanna take a look at it hey. Be a lot easier.

Toodyay is like a cross between alabama and meekatharra. How did the sausage taste? Was it extra cheesy? Did it taste like a hundred generations of inbreeding? If it did, that's because you're actually eating the failed abortions of those romances.

Anyway, I've never been there for a windscreen. Last one I had he came here to Northam to fit it. f**k that, I work for a living. Not like.. Well. Children that throw boulders (pebbles - again, result of inbreeding. lack of muscle tissue) at sexy knee-sans. I can imagine it dude. "AWWW CHECK OUT THAT VL WALKINSHAW... ORR NAH LOGAN, THAT'S NOT A VEE ELLLL AYYyYY".

I don't go to Toodyay often.

I've had sex in it, but that's about it.

Long story short, Jason found you a windscreen and it's considerably better than ex-japan/$12,550rrp.

Man, the roads in country WA can be brutal. But, toodyay isn't too bad. I accidentally found myself driving slightly inebriated towards toodyay at 5am along the top road. got off the clock without even noticing it. perfect road between northam and toodyay. katrine road has bumps, but nothing painful for hard shocks.

Did you go Toodyay road or Chittering Valley road through Julimar? That place is like tree-ridden sex dude. Beautiful country.

Coming back on a comment of yours bro. I'LL GIVE YA FIVE CENTS FOR YA CAR MATE ITS A PIECE OF SHIT.

Nowhere else in WA is there an actual stock market for faeces. And yet... Here I am living 22 minutes from it.

Cannot wait to move to canning vale hombre. I'll actually be like a NORMAL part of the car click.

Gonna be swweeeet.

[Mr Eps]

i honestly don't know how you guys do it? butyeah - they're a nice bunch of guys - the business owner kept telling me all about you i was like

erm. kay.

hahaha

yeah nah that's the thing though - take the wipers off (and i have done three times) and they operate fine without the arms

soon as the arms go on they just dont retract? like don't even attempt to? weird...

but FYI - the green glass is SCHMICK!!!! only problem is i went to pickup my gf, she said the windshield looked incredible then got in my car and saw all the dead toodyayian bugs on it haha

and no i just went up roe hwy then toodyay road all the way up - i wanted to take scenic route lovers lane trust me but i just didnt have time hey

sex in toodyay hey.. i had sex in lower chittering once. i got lost on my way out.

went there - it was day. had sex. came home. it was night.

lower chittering things get foggy. and all the streets are "loops"

and being that it's srrounded by hills, i had NO idea what way the city was. it was FREEZING that night and i had no reception to make a call, let alone use GPS to navigate my way out of there

long story short, i found her house again at like 345am knocked on the door woke up her mum and had to get her to direct me out.. .. .. awkward.

so embarrassing ahaha. but she understood. she'd been living there for 3 weeks and said she even regularly got lost in the day!

roads condition - cou'dve been a lot worse., but in a car with coilovers and rattling mirrors. you notice it!!!

only problem i found was on the way there.. there was "longitudinal" bumps (sooo... not "bumps" but more "ripples" which followed the grain of the road)

which "veered" you off the road if your not careful..

not careful = distracted by the lush rolling plains and farms as far as the eye can see!!!

sausage - tasted fine.. and despite a few farts i'm yet to start bleeding from my bellybutton. so toodyay passes that test.

OH!!! while you're chatting to me - how do i get the smell of kangaroo piss out of my cabin??? it smells so.... "brisk"

=/

seriously it stinks i probably brought it in on my shoes or some shit... kangaroos have smellier pee than goon swilling aboriginals.

[bubba]

Great thread!

[Dorigecko]

Now, I just want people to know.

This car has cost me literally f**k ALL.

That, and no one else has green headlights.

I'm. Just. Awesome.

Kangaroo piss comes out with careful mix of amniotic manatee residue and lemon juice.

Is the car cool enough for the cruise? =D

[Mr Eps]

course it can come, but dont get too pissed if you get defect for green headlights!

in further news, a metallic blue cefiro is parked outside my office, autech, work equip 04's (or lookalikes)

anybody know him?

i left a letter on his windscreen telling him to get into SAU and join the cruise festivites on saturday, hopefully he shows Up!

[Nic_A31]

Metallic blue....Banger just sold, or was trying to sell a blue one, with RB25DET.

Sunroof ?

Only one I can think of.

Do you mean like BLUE blue, or that blue/silver kind of color (KH2) which is a factory color ?

[Mr Eps]

like a washy silverish blue... Light blue

[Dorigecko]

I DIDN'T DIE!

It's 1am now and I got home about ten minutes ago.

I am gonna be rooted tonight.

Nic you better get this car going hey. Call your mate TOMORROW. he can rewire the loom with the engine just sitting there.

I haven't seen that blue one around. But def keep an eye out in my travels. Hopefully he does rock up, sounds pretty mint if it has equip-04-esque rims. Hard to come by having a rim like that on a normal-sized car. It's why I'm not 100% on 5-stud conversion... but I suppose a 15x10 could fit on 32 gtst brakes hey?

Cheers for coming around tonight hey rowan. good to actually meet you properly and have a laugh. genuinely funny dude man, nice loud man-spec ^5. Apologies for smashing your hand with my brickened meat-hooks, but that's just how I roll. For some reason...

I should sooo get to bed right now.

Car will be going don't you worry.

Confirmed 15's do clear R32 brakes...BUT...just have a look at my thread...it depends on the spoke clearance/return.....my Ceffy stockies did clear, JUST.

5stud 15s tend to have later spoke return, like R32 GTST stockies (16"s), so they'll clear no drama's.

[dori_fc]

my ceffy is in a bit of a state to attend a cruise needs a little work atm.

[Mr Eps]

get it done and come!

[Nic_A31]

Eps....you should come help us out tomorrow/Saturday.

We're working stupidly fast and effectively, but with more sets of hands/eyes/butt cheeks, we'd get the job done even faster.

[Dorigecko]

my ceffy is in a bit of a state to attend a cruise needs a little work atm.

On the list of stuff Nics A31 needs before it makes it to the cruise:

Entire driveline bolted in.

Rear brakes and suspension swapped (full 5-stud conversion).

Front brakes replaced.

Engine wired up.

Oil filter and oil, gearbox drained and filled, coolant fill and bleed inc new thermostat in cleaned-up housing.

Brake and clutch filled and bled.

Exhaust stud replaced.

Engine ancilleries to be bolted and tested.

Fuel lines made and fitted.

Car started.

Grease wiped off the quarter panels.

Bonnet back on.

Full tank of juice.

We're doing all of that friday night/saturday morning to saturday afternoon.

What does yours need dude?

[dori_fc]

ecu and a tune,

and figure out why it cuts out all of a sudden wile driving down the road then whene you try start it it just cranks and doesnt fire, then once jumper leads thrown on it turns over and fires all of a sudden and runs fine and drive home grrrrrrrrr

plus all interior is out atm.

[Nic_A31]

That's all easy man, no excuses. Make an appearance.

That sounds like airflow meter to me. My 25 did the EXACT same thing. Then I got it started, revved it and it just broke down all the way up the rev-band.

Take it to Australian Fuel Injection up the road from KYP on briggs st Number 90 from memory. I took my AFM there, they pulled it apart and found faults. Got it back at the end of the day, set me back about 275 for their time, but worked like brand new and I highly recommend them.

^^ What thise bloke said

Come on dude, how often do Cefiro cruises happen in Perth, the last one, was 6 years ago.

Don't pass this chance up, chop chop, get your shit together and come along.

On Saturday, I had a rolling shell, and I'll make sure that THIS Saturday, its driving again.

-----------------------------------------------------

Rowan, I need cash, in my bank account. Buy my key, I'll give you a 20% discount if you pay by EFT, and you can even pick it up when you show me a transaction receipt number. Do it.

[Mr Eps]

whut? how much you want for it...

what cash do you need man?

it's like 3 days till my payday so i'm not that deep pockets at the minute haha

be gentle. i just got REAMED on those weather sheilds. that choade from melb told me that "he only wants the costs that he paid for the item"

turns out he charged me $120, i gave him MORE out of my pure generosity.

just find out he paid $54 landed.

how do you think i feel. HOW.

anyway

yeah i'll be there to help, do you need the cash like NOW now? or can it wait a while? i jsut got to work e'se.

[Dorigecko]

I can buy the key if you need cash. Then eps can buy it off me.

I'm just that awesome.

Dori, you needing help brah? or just some motivation?

Rowan, they are mint and it's better than the $200 I was willing to pay on import monster for them. But him making over his cost is just f**king rude. Four Door Love obviously doesn't reach the eastern states.
