Guys, some new information has just come to my attention. This contradicts a lot of the original post in this thread about this show 'n' shine, and i don't know what to make of it. apparently this is stated on the entry form for the show

• Submission or delivery of this form to the Ford Show N Shine signifies acceptance and willingness to comply with all show policies and procedures.

• Confirmation of your entry will be provided upon receipt of your fee of $10.00/$15.00 per vehicle entered. Your entry fee(s) must be received no later than close of business Friday November 4th 2005.

• Make cheques payable to FPV & XR Owners Club of ACT.

• Entries will have 1 ½ hours of set-up time, from 8.00am to 9.30am on November 20th, 2005.

• Vehicles will be on display from 9.30 am to 4 pm. (vehicles must remain until show finishes)

• Vehicles must be removed from the grounds site by 5.30 pm.

• Judging begins from 11 am. Awards will be announced at approx 2 pm.

• Every entrant’s vehicle will be judged.

• Each entrant will need to provide a drip tray for each vehicle. This is mandatory.

• We reserve the right to refuse any entrant at our discretion.

• There will be no refunds due to bad weather or circumstances beyond our control

So if this is the case, i don't think any of us will be able to enter our cars, and i don't particularly want to look around at a bunch of Fords

Ok guys, i found the error.

It appears there are 2 (read: two) show 'n' shines on Sunday.

Marques in the Parks is being run by the Morris Minor club ACT and is a FREE Event.

the FPV & XR owners club are also hosting their Show 'n' Shine which is a paid entry event. this is not the one we want to go to.

That's how i understand it. I don't know how many of your are famliar with John Knight Park, i went for a walk there last weekend. It's got a big grassy area, which is where the ford people are going to be, since they need drip trays. The Morris club (Marques in the Park) people might either be there as well, or in the carpark at the top of the park. there was parks for about 100 - 150 cars in the carpark at a guess.

We'll probably find out more on the morning, it doesn't start until 10am, and we're planning to get there at 8am when setup begins.

but yes, there are 2 show 'n' shines in the same park

i went and had a bo peep at this a couple of years ago (maybe last year?) and all the cars were in the grassy area, but there was a strong ford presence.

the set up could have been one big show n shine but the ford blokes have awards etc...??

might be similar this year??

I think you're right. the ford guys seam to have it setup as a fair dinkum show 'n' shine, where as the Morris club guys just wanted to get other car clubs out to show off. they're the guys that invited all the other car clubs like REACT and SAU to it.

F.Y.I.

And I'll see those of you that can make it on Sunday,'K?

Well that makes it easy for us then, no one will be there when we arrive to park. Should be a good day, i'm excited.

Remember, MACCAS BELCONNEN (opposite the college) 7:30AM depart 8:00AM for JOHN KNIGHT PARK so we can have the SAU crew together

    • Hi, does anyone know how I can, or can a moderator remove this advertisement please.  Has been sold a long time ago and would like to remove references. Thanks. 
    • There are adaptors that allow you to delete the booster and use an s15 clutch master cylinder.    if you want to keep the booster they are still available brand new 
    • I visited again today: It would appear they have painted the main body of the car and some parts of some of the panels, so I can say that I now have BMW parts in my car, much to the envy of @Dose Pipe Sutututu It is still covered in dust which is quite the tease but I did look at a few circumspect spots that will be behind bumpers and such and wiped some dust away: After my repeated begging to PLEASE DONT PAINT OVER THE ENGINEERING CERTIFICATE (you have to re-engineer the entire car if they do) I see THIS: Which is great. Excellent job tbh at least to me. A better non dusty example would be the backs of the doors that have been painted: Giving a reasonable contrast between old and new (I know the old isn't clear coated on the inside of doors). The door card will well and truly cover where the old paint is, you can see in the second pic some of the black butyl/whatever shit is sticking the plastic sheet behind the door transfer that has happened since it's clearly been stuck back on. The most maddening thing about this colour is every time I saw it in the wild it looks like another colour, same with photos of many cars with the same colour looking wildly different in every photo anybody ever takes and this is no exception. But stand a little further back and it suddenly looks dark AF. I did tell them when I was discussing which of the 70 million charcoal colours to choose from (a porsche one, a BMW one, or a R32 GTR one etc) that if they just ignored me and chose one at random I would probably never notice. Maybe they did. But the colour is supposed to be B39 (BMW Mineral Gray). Boring I know, but the R34 sedan (to me) really shows off it's boat-ness when you paint it in a bright colour like bayside blue or white or whatever else. I do have a fondness for AR2 Nissan Red, but decided against that because it'll have pretty odd contrast to random bits unpainted (like engine bay, bits of trim etc, and maybe it'll fade). And people will always fkin comment on AR2. Everything remains super dusty. I have tracking numbers for the new heads, as well as some Improved Racing goodies, but they probably will be a next year thing by the time they end up on the car. I did some maths on the heads and I know why nobody goes to this extent in Australia, because it's really not worth it, given I could have just CNC'ed my current heads, bought a FAST102/TB and used my current rocker/spring/cam combination and get a 383 stroker (or stroked a 6.0 GenIV bottom end to 6.6L) built for the same price of just the setup in the mail/on the floor here. Or I could have bought a LS3 and a Drysump system. And then have a complete engine to sell. Oh well
    • We just disconnected the vacuum line if I remember correctly, booster is still there. Is there a rebuild solution for the booster or a different adapter that will work for GTR chassis?
    • Yeah 4wd (boosted) has a recess in the firewall for the booster, and 2wd is flat - the example in the link shows the flat surface. When you deleted the booster, did you just attach the factory slave cylinder directly to the recess in the firewall with no adaption?
