Haha, for a pup he had a mean growl. Ill let yas know if im attending anyway, if i do ill b early for fuel.

Car sounds like its a go chris, hope you can take it for a test tonight

This should be a good night then, we have quite a fair few people turning up tonight it would appear 7pm south bound bp for you northies then on to meet chris at pizza capers then it's time to roll on over to the westies (Chris can lead in the freshly revived Subi)

Enjoyed the drive, roads were shit. Icecream average, anybody hear the backstreet boys on nova? Really enjoyed listening to that on my shitty stereo /cough.

34 goes like a dream clint.

I overclocked this morning, estimated 200. Looks like they have cut the wires:(

Very nice yours will hammer along nicely when all the work is done,

yeah the 34 is working out really well it has a few minor things to fix up now but the dream is slowly becoming the reality.

Excellent turn out shame you couldn't make it out handful and joe as it was a great little drive, The westies are always hospitable and amusing so it was worth the drive.

Ok so what's the plan for this week?

It will be a northside meet this week the questions are

what night?

what time?

where?

I vote Indian Brothers on either wednesday or thursday at 7 or so.

Thought's / suggestions ?

Oh yeah I took the skyline out to Kingaroy over the weekend drove really well and I got the Blue led dash kit in with no problems (tested all the led's before I reassembled it)

Weds or Thurs is good for me, haven't had indian in a while so im keen for that ^_^

Did you ebay the dash lights? ill have to check it out, im keen to do it to mine to brighten it all up. bit dull inside

either or is good for me too.

Got the go ahead today for some coilovers!!! need to go for a run in your car clint to see how the V1's are. but from what ive read so far they are a good bit of kit, esp for the price.

Hoping to have it all sorted for happy laps in 2 weeks time!!

Ive looked around, cant find a eecent answer to 2 qs.

400$ intercooler, anything wrong with these types? 700mm core.

And a normal boost tee, is it worth saving for electronic? If i did it this way i could spend 500 and get b

sounds like the night was good, sorry i didn't make it but i was around the 4500 K's mark away at the time getting tanked, if there is a little meet up this weekend i might be able to come along and meet up with a few people, one of those rare got nothing planned weekends

    • 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 🥺
