First i'd like to thanks JACK (Citywide Towing 0419 877 437) for organising a Tow truck coming all the way from Melb to Heathcote to tow my mate's car home. :P

Secondly i'd like to thank JACK ....oh sorry Jack's FATHER for driving his tow truck all the way up to Heathcote to help us out at a very mate's rate. A very friendly gentlment too.

Thanks YLWGTR for respray my bonet back to the tip top condition, you're a pro mate.

Warning, while we were at Heathcote today, a highway patrol car rocked in the pit area. Mr officer then took a walk around try to pick on cars but unfortunately the amount of car's trailer there were as much as cars that run on the day so they left disappointed.

You'd like to think by doing the right thing, we drive 2 hours + away to test our cars out just to see officers rock up at a place that they encourage us to come and test our cars out instead of the street.

So whatever you do next time at the drag strip, becarefull. Little that they know WE import drivers love to run our cars on street tyres, street tune and street trims. We are not weak sources that us slick, un bolt their cat's back, use high octance neither NOS or if we do we'd arrive in style (on trailer ofcourse :D).

wow towing from heathcote would have been a mint if it wasnt at mate rates, although i would still imagine it to be a fair amount of $$..

A shame about the cop, they should be encouraging people who are doing the right thing!!

Did you run your car West?

Nah, i didn't run my car mate though the last time i was there i ran 12.2 with 1.9 60ft time @5k dump. I'll wait for the next SAU drag day.

I was about to go today as well with my mates - they were running their Black RX7 Series 6. Good thing i didn't go, they only ran the car once and it broke down.

Yeah i saw that car, FULL SICK :P. It currently holding record for fastest street register Series 6. Go to love the TD-H 88.

Your mate were trying to help my friend as well, we borrowed tools off him but couldnt' fix anything, it was BILL wasn't it?

Speak for yourself! :P

Yep Bill from Rotary Performance Centre. Its got the biggest T88 in the market :P

They havent broken the record yet, but will do in time - they've only ran the car around 3-4 times. Best is 9.8 at the moment, i think 9.6 is the record for street trim.

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
