It was around 1.30 2.00, I've had a few people mention another one around the thornton area though.

I think it was you, because the front bar was opened up like i've seen in some pics.

yea that would have been me. Didn't see you sorry.. Gotta fix that front bar up actually. I'm needing to mesh it off to deflect some attention from it. The police are startin to crack down on imports in and surrounding Maitland of late, alot of our friends have been done so I'm not really wanting test my luck out any longer.. Sorry I didn't see ya hey.

I actually think I seen you the other week goin over Hexham bridge tried to catch up but you got thru all the traffic and were goin. I had to turn off at Tomago anyway to pick the other half up from work..

I was in the work car, so you wouldn't have spotted me anyway, I dont drive the stagea much these days, sometimes on weekends, where does the other half work? I work at Tomago too, at Voest Alpine Mining and Tunnelling.

he works at Tyton Conveyors in martin drive. Sometimes he drives my car but most days he drives his own. (blue R32 with custom plates) Yea try not to drive mine too much but what with the kids and all it's a bit hard.

It's a very small world, there's gettin to be a few around the Newcastle area now, we'll have to meet up in town one day.

Yeah your talking about the fire engine red one i take it, ive PMed him to find out what he's got option wise, we'll probably meet up soon if he's keen, snap some pics you should come too 3 stags together would look better than two.

Brendan, when summer comes up (or at least when it starts to get a bit warmer), we'll have to organise another cruise or meet but closer to you guys up the coast - maybe Swansea or somewhere around there, who knows...

Definately mate, I don't mind even going further down your way, I guess it's up to the majority.

I'll talk to you on MSN about it, as you've probably noticed i've been a bit quiet lately, been heaps busy with moving, and the bub, and I'm back on dialup now, which sucks BIG time :P

Hey all, Newbie here. Thought I'd put my 2 cents worth in.

Saw a yellow one (I'm guessing a series 2) heading alond Epping Road on Saturday night. Followed it from North Ryde near El Rancho up to the Epping Station over pass. Thought at first it may have been the one for sale on Parramatta Road/Concord.

Asked how much and he replied with 22k inc GST imported I'm guessing he spent the extra $$$ to get it converted to Manual as he indicated they don't normally come standard. (Really hard to catch the rest of what he said as we were on the move by this time).

Have been researching these beauties for a while now, I almost got sucked into buying the one for sales out at Concord till I started checking out prices elsewhere.

Hoping to get some valuable info from this forum and look forward to making purchase hopefully in the not too distant future.

    • As I implied in my post, I have NO idea what the were. But in case I didn't make it clear, the way they performed was brilliant; whatever the brand was. I think it was the compound that made the difference. And if they were Bendix, then sign me up, I want another set. I did drive down mount Ousley (just outside of the Gong) a few times, and they showed no untowards performance.   Its not the low dust that I am looking for NOW. At the time I needed low dust, but now I have no issues with dust but want the initial/early bite of the pads that were used. Yeah, the early cold squeal may of been due to a missing shim or such.  And to repeat, its not the low dust I am seeking, its the initial bite of the pads and increase in bite as  the warmed up during each breaking. As soon as I let off, I don't remember the breaks being extra sticky if I used them again soon after. But I also did not test that theory.   Thanks for the recommendation, But I would prefer to choose something specifically with the behaviour I described.   I assume that they didn't use the default compound off the shelf, as we discussed the dust issue at length. And the early squeal when cold, I have seen the sound is more of an issue with some pad compounds. Mostly ceramic, which also are said to produce less dust.
    • Well, in 2007 he must have been charging about $1800 an hour. He only looked at the car for 5 minutes. And another 4 to write the report wrong, and another minute to correct it. Mind you, this was for a car that was: Stock engine, fmic (hole in drivers guard), all alloy intake and custom air box, 3 inch turbo back exhaust, lowered, and a set of 17" Advans (255/40/17 rear and 235/45/17 front). It was nothing crazy. The blue slipper wanted the "hole in the guard" engineered. But that was because he got the shits that I wouldn't "relocate the battery from the boot, back to the factory position in the engine bay"... In an R33 GTST...     Also for emissions, E85, and don't go wild on timing. It's amazing how the closer you get ignition timing towards max torque, the last couple of degrees really throw NOx counts right up. And for the huge increase in emissions, it's only a small increase in torque.
    • He'll be looking down and swearing about "the damn apprentice" for trying to convince Duncan to use percussive maintenance... 😛  
    • I swear at my GKTech ones every time I have to take them apart and replace a spherical. But I wouldn't swap them for anything else. They absolutely slay every other option, at least in terms of how they actually work. You sure you don't want to live with bearings? I mean, they don't have "ball bearings". They are rod ends and sphericals throughout. Tough as nuts, even though I have found more than one way to wear them out.
    • From when I was looking at getting the 86 engineered for the turbo, the joint said to put in a few euro 5 or 6 cats, then tune the car on a nice clean E85 tune When I was looking at a turbo for the MX5, it was basically the same thing, a couple of cats and a nice clean tune Although, it will depend on the year of the Jeep IRT emmisions standards required, and what mods are done, especially if it has a newer engine installed that requires a higher Euro
