Not a bad turnout out again, though it was a struggle for me to keep up this time. Although it wasn't all bad being last in the que, got to see Melv let a few nice flames go as he powered up the hwy.

i was trying to get down, but flatmate was having a whinge about having no food and needed some to live. so I was out till 9, then went cruising(by myself) and found a few of you, eneded up at roma st and left r32 genesis and yoparata there :(

damn... i heard that its gonna hit 41 degrees fri and sat.

I'll put pics up tonight. I just want to go to work right now and be in the aircon *wipes sweat off head*

I'm sorry Melv, I should have realised. Thanks for letting me go sideways on that speed bump but! Otherwise I wouldn't have had an exhaust left :rolleyes:

Good to meet some of you for the first time last night. And next time if the brisbane guys are going to meet up somewhere before they criuse to the meeting point can someone send me a pm?

23 degrees in the aircon at work today. I'm so pleased I'm not stuck outside.

    • and I thought size mattered 😝 At this point I may either pray to the Afterpay gods and get a torque wrench or attach a water bucket to the breaker bar. I appreciate the help though 🙏🏾
    • Or get a guy in his early fiftys to do it. A single good "oof" and about two cracks from his lower back is about the right tightness...
    • It's impossible to convey what it will feel like to get the right torque. But you can develop a feel for it. A 900mm breaker bar is.....f**king huge. I only use a normal ~400mm one. But with 900mm being very nearly a metre, and the right torque being in the order of 100Nm, then you're going to need a bit over 100N of force, which is about 10 kg. So if you practice using the bar pulling up, instead of pushing down, then it will be about the same effort as lifting a 10kg bucket of water. That's what the pressure against your fingers should feel like. Ish. If you use a more typical length breaker, then it's about twice that. So a good 20 litre bucket, or a little bit more.
    • Also, if anyone has a torque wrench around Williams Landing area and can lend it to me for like 5 mins - I got 4 bottles of Furphy left and I’ll throw that in with a Happy meal 😂
    • So today I decided to bleed my brake fluid, which meant to the wheels came off the car at my garage for the first time. I only had a 90cm breaker bar with me and I noticed that some 1 or 2 lug nuts were a bit hard to get loose (from when the shop did the coilovers) Now.... when it came to putting them back on, I didn't want to put all my weight and overtighten them. So I hand tightened as much as possible and then put normal pressure on the edge of the breaker bar and tightened it until I couldn't turn it anymore without putting in an effort. Do you think that is tight enough? Or is that still too tight?  They are tighter than finger tight. Last thing I want is to have them strip or warp sh*t. But hard times mean I can't just go down to Supercheap and get a torque wrench 🥺
