i saw you leaving on thursday. was doing my first run to the new place when i saw your car traveling up Kircaldy st. (spelling?)

either way, ill be there this week.

Cruise today was sweet!! thanks Chris :thumbsup:

any chance of moving this meet to another night in the week? Thursday is late night shopping but Thursdays are really becoming a challenge for me. Thoughts, Comments?

Also hows the new place going Bodo?

in that case Ash i must live round the corner from you now.

Thursday is a good general day i think. any other day is just too early in the week for me :(

and the new place is good thanks for asking. a bit of a scattered mess still downstairs, but room for the Lispy (yes my liner has a name, give to it my the little lady). upstairs is all sorted, still gotta get internets sorted, lucky i got the dongle still atm.

got the engine back for my girls Beetle, will spend the next few arvos getting it bolted together and back in. as soon as its home and sorted i will sort out downstairs. its a good work space down there :thumbsup:

all good, was just ralf and i last night anyways.

sry, no idea what the address is exactly Chris. but its on bribie island road, just before Ningi. There is a big round about at the end of the 2 lane 100km/h zone. Basically as long as you take the Bribie turnoff and head towards Bribie, you cant miss it :)

Corner of Caboolture-Bribie Island Rd. and Bestman road Ningi. Google maps says 20km off the highway. didnt think it was that far, as it doesnt seem to take long.

Dunno if im barging in on anything, but i've had a 32 gtst for a few months now... Keen to cruise with the locals as im in Rothwell....

On a brighter note, I was in Peninsula paint today n "saved" some poor sod who thought he blew his turbo on a twin turbo supra.... Turns out he should check his intercooler piping more often.. Fished out the slipped hose clamp and with a trusty 10mm I never go anywhere without, saved him a trip to the workshop. Wish all my mechanical problems were that cheap or easy :)

Im Troy by the way. If anyone filled up at the caltex on deception bay road just up from the rothwell roundabout, chances are we've already met

Hi Troy ,

Your More than welcome to come and join in the fun, We are trying to get a group of owners together so that we can do northern cruises and such.

I think beefies might be a bust due to it closing at 6pm. we could always do curry on bribie it's self or subway.

Meeting at the northbound BP on the hightway (just after the first morayfield exit) at 7pm and moving off at about 7:15 we will make our way over to bribie and proceedd to: insert Location here.

the drive to bribie is one of the best local drives we can go for, please feel free to look online and find a suitable venue to grab a feed at.

Howdy Troy, and by all means join us.

i didnt think of that they might close that early. I' not much of a fan of bribie itself for driving. painfully slow and a tad dangerous with random drivers..........brain storm time. gotta figure out somewhere tho

    • To be fair passengers who aren't silly and have been in proper fast cars have often been pretty impressed once you hit 4th gear   
    • I suppose that's true. Barring almost any situation, I'll never sell so what the market does is kind of irrelevant to me. It's possible I'd make most of my money back. That spreadsheet I mentioned? Maybe I could make back more than what the car's total costs thus far are, but the parts and all that is possibly a different story... Thanks for reading. It was certainly a good moment and just makes the ties to the car that much stronger. It's exciting that the option will be there to bring it over, however I have some plans with a shop that may end up keeping the car there longer, not sure. Coupled with the fact I want to move there and haven't solidified any path yet. So in a way, it feels like I'm in a limbo state that is uncertain; time will tell.
    • No worries, everything worked out in the end. I just wanted to make the point that it doesn't matter where it comes from (I.E Australia), it can be broken or improperly built. I would still purchase from these companies in the future. B2R - Not certain how that finished, this was on a car I wired a few things and street tuned. I know the owner ended up shipping the motor back to Australia for investigation. Hopefully some of it is covered under warranty.  Turbosmart - I always pressure test everything that goes on my car. It's a habit from my career in oil and gas. I run two 40mm's and both had major leaks from the actuator to exhaust portion through the shaft. I returned both, they shipped me back two and one was leaking and the other had a 38mm top (40mm gate with 38mm actuator cap, no idea how that happens). Eventually after a lot of back and forth I found myself with two non-leaking gates. I believe this happens a lot more then people would like to believe but you would never know if you don't pressure test them prior to installation. Crank Motorsport - Issued a full refund and let me keep the seat rails. I turned them into scrap metal for other projects. GKTech - Shipped me out a replacement and asked that I modify it as per my idea and that they would do the same for a future revision. ATP - Can just needed a large shim to bolt up properly.  Haltech - They started an actual proper Beta channel for firmware's a few months back and stopped using the general public for testing. I'm now much happier.  Speedtek - f**k Speedtek. I would love to watch them burn.     
    • I've got a Turbosmart wastegate, ATP catch can, many GK Tech parts and Haltech everything. Everything's been perfect, sorry to hear your experience wasn't the same
