I'm painting the house inside and out as well as the garage/loft

And no pub this weekend unless ts at the bay

Taking the boat up Sat arvo and hitting the drink with friends and then taking boat out Sunday

Who's in?

FYI Jarrad and Martin

Just saw this on facebook so you could give hi octane a call if you wanted in.

"Anyone here with a R34 GTT in Sydney? Hi Octane Racing need to trial fit their new airbox. Anyone that wants to bring a car to 36 Mary Pde Rydalmere and let them fit one gets to keep it for free! I was just there, the offer is still good..."

Yeah I'm still keen!!! Details??

Were painting atm :)

I'll send you a text

Painting is fun, I love it when you spend alllll day doing it and the wife comes along does one brush stroke and says look how much I've done I painted the whole thing and BTW the little bit you did there I can see you missed a bit.

thanks for the heads up benji.

way to busy for that right now though

just spent 5 hours trying to finish wiring my tv in the bedroom for a wall mount, got to mounting the ariel fitting to the wall which would have made the job finished and dropped the bracket down into the wall. many many many many swears....

haha emma had a good crack with me on monday, solid 9 hour day we got in, and... we did 1 coat in the hallway.... though, there are 6 doorways and it was emmas first try.

Oh I feel your pain with dropping stuff

Awwwww poor Emma

We all have to start somewhere I suppose

was that depressed man haha...

i now have around 5 mins of work to finish it, but no parts.

yeah she was getting better, i think her problem was she wasnt putting enough paint on the wall to begin with, so when she went for her finish she had nothing to work with.

id like to claim im in full blown natural, even emma admitted i was heaps better then her haha. steady electrician hands :D

    • The above video is working normally. That is, that's how the right hand indicator should cancel when rotating the wheel left.
    • I noticed that I could see creatures on the moon when I turned my new headlights on. I thought I should check the alignment. It's pretty rudimentary but I just grabbed some dry wall and put it against my tablet and made sure the beam was below the height on the headlights. Ie the beam is at 600mm on my car, I just made it lower than that 7.5m away.  Not the best but it'll do until I can do it properly at the local shops.   
    • As @Duncan said - the bores are most likely to cop it. But anything can and does happen. Rods are cheap. Rods are good. The work to rebuild the motor will be 30x the price of rods. You won't notice it.
    • Yeah car has 110 on the clock. That said the front turbo (that exploded) doesn't seem to be the original, it has a S1 part number but the car is a series 3. Yep, in the cat is where I first found the turbine wheel pieces - a couple decent sized ones, then a whole lot of fragments.  I agree, probably makes sense to upgrade parts that are being replaced. Things like rods would be 'nice' but realistically it seems unlikely they would need replacing. I was hoping that it was a case that they generally f**k up the valves but not the bore, or vice versa. Is it generally the scour damage rather than ceramic bits getting mashed into the piston tops / valves? I tried a search but couldn't find any threads with pics from the guts of a motor that's had this happen. 
    • Front seats now in, fixing a little rust then front doors sealed up again finished. had to install a fire extinguisher within arms distance of drivers seat for hill climb regulations. little bit of good old silo diff action lol IMG_9146.mov
