Beyond vintage in leura mall. I know the chef its brilliant anyone up the mountain want to try something different head up there

I'll have to give it a crack; my missus works in Leura.

Silks Brasserie up the top of the main street in Leura was pretty good last time we were there. Beautiful kangaroo fillets with baked pear and seasonal veg.

Wysteria lane cafe behind the nursery in Leura had a damn nice pulled pork burger last week too.

Silks was great! Really nice service; friendly, knowledgeable sommelier; no pretentiousness, and even gave us a contact that had a wine we'd been trying to find locally.

I really need to get back there with the missus soon.

Finally got around to trying some local cuisine, and was pleasantly surprised!!

King Chef in Kings Cross... phenomenal Chinese, typical pricing, ~14.80 for mains, ~10.80 for fried rice.

I've tried most ramen in Sydney and I'm pretty sure I've narrowed the best of the best down to two:

  1. Manpuku Ramen in Kingsford. Main attraction is that they just do it right - which is probably why it's always filled with Japanese people. Handmade noodles, thick flavourful broth and their recipes are different to the usual generic bullshit that seems to be endemic in Asian food in Australia.
  2. Gumshara in Chinatown. It's in a food court off Sussex St (entrance is west off the northenmost arch thingy). Place is hardcore - they let the broth boil in huge steel pots all day until it's basically solid. It's so f**king rich you will be comatose afterwards. I recommend starving yourself all day, then doing leg day at the gym, then ordering the one that comes with a massive spare rib balanced over the bowl.

Hey all,

Thai- It's Time For Thai in Kingsford has always been nice.

I've been to Volcanoes in Parramatta a few times and it's not bad for the steaks.. 6.5-7/10. Better than Crinitis

    • Fk me, I guess next time I will try to use the onsite attachments feature. I find it hard to work with so far though because I can't move the images to where I want them to be. I will try to make a separate post with just images. As for lifting. The work I need to do for now involves the exhaust and engine mainly, so the arm covering the jacking points is not a problem. But I don't want to bend in the whole sill or underfloor by lifting the car at the original jack points. I found some rubber blocks, 125 by 125 with a 10mm wide and 10mm deep cutout, which I'm hoping will work for not hitting the jacking rail. The sidemember, as seen in the service manual, are the rectangular frame rails that come from the front of the car and go alongside the gearbox and downpipe. Those that get crushed inwards if you use them for a floorjack. They are already slightly bent in from being used to hoist by other people. I think cutting off the jacking points and welding or bolting on a reinforcement plate along the sill might not be a dumb idea. Or is it dumb?     A 2 post hoist is what I'm gonna work with, but not for any underbody work, just leaky engine and exhaust work so far. Depends on what else I find that might need immediate attention. For metalwork on the sills I think I'd just bring the car to a panel beater. What's your take on getting rid of the original jacking rails and putting reinforcement plates along the sills?
    • Yeah titanium always looks cool but I don't need that, just regular pipes would be fine. But I am really struggling to find any full hardpipe kit that is still for sale.
    • Saruthewhite hasn’t been on our site since November 2016 sorry mate
    • Note when Duncan says that, he means "when you're not using the correct lifting points on the sills, because you want to work on the sills. A 2 post hoist is not appropriate for everything anyway, and working on the sills is a good example of that, because the arms go under ths sills anyway. You're better off finding another way to support the car off the ground. Beyond that everything else D said is correct. Only the dedicated jacking points are the correct place to lift. Anywhere else is incorrect, extra caution and awareness must be used, etc etc.
