bump, PMs replied

lol happy to break gearbox... sounds expensive...

hmm.. slow day at work... need to fill some time

damn cold sliks don't like to turn, had to use the brake to make the rear slide out to turn the kart lol

I went go karting instead of VIC cruise So much fun, untill it rained, then it became dangerous fun

Just checked, both of my Group Certificates are out now, so better get off my arse and start on the tax return

I know someone who didn't declare interest from a bank account. They got a warning letter from the ATO and there wasn't that much interest to declare either..

Bump

coinscidently the LMs are for sale for the right price need to pay for my Japan trip

thats why I was telling him to cut the metal, a lot easier that way otherwise you need to flamin mongrel slits into the guard to make the metal more flexible, then you can bash it out all the way

nothing can be done there now, needed to cut the guards out at the start, but because of the 4 door i recon the door frame will start to interfere if you lower it too much without much camber
