So, Chants and I were talking last night and she thought that since there's a lot of great photos, we could make an SAU calendar using them. Who would buy one?

Also, Mike has come up with a wicked cruise for Jan around Australia Day. Details to be released soon ;)

shouldnt matter if an engine bay is stock or modified,should be judged on how tidy it is,well thats my opinion anyway. :yes:

So modified because stock engine bays are too cluttered.

Not to take anything away from the winner. BUT the blue LS1( or was it an LS2) conversion was clean as

It was one of the ones that was very close to winning. There were about 4 or 5 that were very close but Reflectors looked like he had spent about a week cleaning under there as well as having a very neat set up and that edged him in front.

Whew finally got a chance to jump on, some nice pics floating around!!

Thanks again Exec, you did a tops job :thanks:

eeeeexactly. There were a TONNE of tidy engine bays, but it's friggin hard to keep a modded engine bay clean AND neat after changing stuff around. Every wire was neatly tucked away, every line was secured, and even the zip ties were clean.

I'm a bit pissed that we didn't win best interior. I mean, when do empty iced coffee bottles, woolies receipts and a 2008 destroyed street directory NOT make something better?? All I can think is that the judge was just jelly.

Great day, I got lazy and only took some photos at the first meeting spot (was bloody HOT!!! too much Car Porn)

Nice shots! I'm so glad you got a pic of that silver 32 with the HKS rb28, but sad he didn't come the whole way. I would have LOVED to stare at thing a bit more.

Mind if I steal the last pic for my files?

was a great day, nice route and wasnt expecting Best Overall award, all the time spent tidying things up payed off. ^ I tried to save some of those pics, but flickr wouldnt let me :(

I've replied to your PM re: laps in the R35 as part of your prize :)

I was REALLY impressed with that conversion. It was definitely a beautiful set up and sounded the piece on the road too. Great to cruise from southside with the R34 LS2 and the R33 LS1.

Haha, there's more cleaning to do - if I had more time I would have spent another few hours doing the underside of the bonnet. Until the motor comes out, it's all hand polishing and TLC for that engine bay. Edited by Reflector

The fact that you hand polish it is a great start. Some of us haven't cleaned it since... errm... yeah.. :P

    • Also, a tip for young players  Check the dates on new tyres before they fit them, I always ask this question at the tyre shop, as they have tried to put "new" tyres on one of my cars a few years ago, but the build date was about 3 years old
    • Yeah - 4 or 5 years is the limit for decent tyres. Pedestrian grade tyres with 400 TW ratings start out hard and don't start to suffer until they are somewhat older again. But the stickier decent stuff? Nup. My current ADO9s are < 2 yrs old, 17000km in, only have about the minimum 2mm of tread depth left, and they are.....not what they used to be. They are clearly much harder now than when new. Whether that is heat cycles (unlikely, for a road tyre), different compound between top and bottom of tread, or actually aging out (in less than 2 years!!!) is not really able to be discerned. But I'd credit actual aging as being at least part of the cause. I've got an old pair of ~50% worn AD08Rs in the shed that I really need to get rid of. They started feeling waaaay too hard to put back on the car after a couple of years sitting there.
    • Personally I wouldn't put tyres over 4 or 5 years old on any of my own cars. Once they go hard the grip characteristics completely change. As per most things it only matters in an accident and that's when you most want them to do their job!
    • I'm replacing the front tyres on the E39 tomorrow because one of them has a few gouges out of it. There is so much tread still on them but they're also 9 years old and the rubber is super hard.  This falls within the guidelines of 10 years old that I've read which surprises me given their condition.  I'm curious about whether you guys care about tyre age or just judge the tyre based on condition? How old would you consider too old?
    • What starts as a scratch, becomes a flesh wound, then quadruple amputation. Jus' sayin'. Crush resistant gloves (The ones with the rubber strips down the back of the hand and fingers) might not be a bad idea after all!
