Spewing I can't make it to the Riverland show this weekend guys - have fun!

Between a wedding this arvo/tonight (I will think of you all while at the open bar at the Stamford Grand Glenelg tonight :P ), pre-organised lunch catchup with friends on Sunday, and using up several leave passes with the wife to head to the SAU Nationals, it was just not possible :(

I am already doing the groundwork and saving up leave passes to be able to go to the SAU Nats next year (given it will be a 5+ day affair) ....

So jealous guys. I was looking forward to Riverland, and I honestly thought my car would be repaired and looking schmick in time for it. No such luck!

Represent SAU:SA well, and do us proud :)

Dan I think you will find that the peeps are meeting up at the usual meet spot up north at 2:30ish pm and leaving around 3pm to get to Berri around 5-5:30ish pm.

Give the cars a bit of a wash and than booyah drinking time :D

There is room in my car if you wanna tag along mate, you will just have to hike in the back seat.

    • I am currently going this route. I am curious how much horse power you put behind the cut bell housing? Collins was telling me I am going to crack it and bluh bluh bluh. Because I didn’t buy the custom fly wheel from him. I am looking for somewhere around like 500 hp
    • Forgot to mention that these are the before pics when I first got it!
    • Thanks @PranK for the updated member status, much appreciated! 👍🏼 Now, about those pics… Unfortunately I could only find ones that I took in the dark. I was soon to discover that underneath it wasn’t in the best shape, but it was mine and that’s all I cared about at the time 😆
    • Oh, and only having done this task yesterday, I've now driven the car ~60km since, and while it is hard to avoid placebo effect and confirmation bias, I reckon that some annoyances I had with the way the car has been behaving have improved. Which....kinda makes sense, I guess. If the bushes were really stiff and resisting rotation, they would have been contributing to the effective wheel rate. And if it was more so on one side (which it was, because one side was worse than the other) then.... you might imagine that the additional rate would be asymmetric, and potentially even different between compression and rebound. And so... the car has been twitchy at higher speeds - like freeway on ramps. It really shouldn't be. The wheel alignment is good and there are no (other) known problems elsewhere in the suspension. But at 90-100 on a long sweeping ramp, tiny steering wheel motions would make it feel like it wanted to rear steer. Quite nervous. At lower speeds it would heave about in a manner that it didn't use to. Didn't want to put power down, etc etc. Now...seems to behave better. Am going to have to concentrate on the various corners where it has exhibited weirdness, on the rare occasions when I can get a decent run at them without Methanial getting in the way in his D-Max/Ranger/LDV Van/etc.
