No worries mate, let me know how you go, if you are interested in coming along after the V8 day, ill add your name to the list.

Good to see some names guys, Its always good to have a bit of a gathering.

More and more people are joining in, so its starting to look like a great day...........Latest rumour is that there may be some old school muscle coming along, in the form of a GT Falcon.....he is yet to confirm 100% though.

Along with the monaro (twin turbo), transam, STi's and offcourse, MONA :turned: I am going to be up for a hell of alot of runs.........*knock on wood my gear box holds together*

PS:

To make it easier for you guys, when i have a moment ill put up my post from Autotech which has all the details in my first post......will save all you guys having to look at various links etc.

woah people! stop being soft! pay the man already!

LOL somebody is keen to race.

PS, Ok Mona, you got me as my first race............You know, if you wonna chop me, there was an easier way to do it, all you had to do was ask LOL :(

Looks like your finally gonna get to chop/own the big ford ay :(

sif!!! i love that ford... i still drool all over the colour and the car :P but its been a long saga between us that has to be laid to rest! i have a feeling you have a few tricks up your sleeve!! bring it on i say! :)

LOL the only trick up my sleaves was that i wasnt planning on running the car.....purly just to organise. Concerns over whether or not my gearbox will hold up on the day is the reason why i wasnt planning on running.

However, now that your going......I think i may need to put it back in for a couple runs LOL..

We'll see what happens, ill need to speak to Spiro at autotech then go from there.

whats the story with the bikes?

    • Hi, wondering if the HKS bar and water reservoir still available? Thanks 
    • What an awesome idea to fit the facelift Lamborghini Diablo headlights. They are a perfect fit!
    • An update regarding the registration with the DVLA I sent off the paperwork the day after I collected the car from the port, two weeks later it was all returned with a letter explaining they have rejected the application. This was because the cheque was £20 short for the road tax (I used a price list I found online). Nevermind it is what it is, it was sent back to them the following day with a new cheque. Fast forward another 2 weeks or so, I called them for an update to be told it had been rejected. Yesterday (16th September) I received the documents back along with another letter, this time it was because I didn't put an X in one box on the V750 (personalised number plate certificate), which declared that I had the rights to the personalised number plate. Why this wasn't mentioned in the first rejection letter, I don't know, but it could have saved this headache. The documents were sent back today, so fingers crossed third times a charm and it'll FINALLY be registered on the road just in time for the bad weather (woohoo!) To cheer myself up I lowered the front 25mm, was sick of seeing it sit like a monster truck. No idea how much clearance I'll have getting on and off the driveway, I'll worry about that when I can actually drive it
    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not
