i was at the UPI launch last friday its a pretty good movie

watched the movie at blacktown then went to eastern creek to see cars drift

Yeah I went as well, got free tickets from Fast fours

it was pretty damn good, worth seeing!! :D

The drifting etc afterparty was brilliant... very beer and dinner!!! 10 beers later, I ended up smashed. Free beer + tommo = bad, haha.

in relation to the drive in, do you hear the sound through your radio? if so does that mean that you have to run your car stereo off your battery for the whole movie??

yep I would think so... tho they do have these dodgy speakers u attach to the driver and passenger windows but they are shit quality.

Easy solution to that - you park on a hill anyway, so assuming you're driving a manual, just clutch it if you have to. Or bring jumper cables (and the knowledge or instructions to connect them properly so as not to blow up your computer).

If you're paranoid and your car exhaust isn't too loud, crank it over during the movie to make sure you're not killing the battery. And run it for a few minutes during the intermission (most drive-ins still have them around the middle of the movie) and between the first and second movies too.

Theres 2 movies, intermission between them.. a guy walks around at the end with one of those portable jumper things.. youd wanna be careful though with the computer.. I went and saw it this afternoon, couldnt wait :( if you go not expecting anything, you should enjoy it..

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Yeah in that case, pulling the dent out. Event a very slight dent can create a lot of work filler-wise and there is a strong chance the panel won't be the factory shape when you are done (as the dent will result in a new high point created somewhere, then everything is brought up to that new high point... but the panel shouldn't be that high if that makes sense).  So you've filled and primed the panel and it is flat, why would you go back and remove the primer and add more filler?

      Something else I have been faffing with while the car was off the road is making the AC work. Assuming the car isn't at a thermal limit the idea of having AC while waiting in line to go on track sounds delightful. I have actually been lugging around the weight of the entire system since 2018 when the RB25NEO went in without it working at all.  The main reason was in the first few events before I got around to re-gassing it the rubber hose that runs under the manifold had the factory heat wrap/sleeve fail resulting in this: ~2 years ago I purchased a complete used R32 AC line set but when I finally went to install it the line i needed was different where the expansion section is I found a local place that was able to replace the rubber section and re-crimp. They also added some modern heat sleeve to the hose Tight fit but fingers crossed this is the last physical piece of the puzzle needed

      Plan B? Get someone to machine up a metal bush/collar/whatever it needs to be to replace the rubber? I haven't had a close look at that part recently to have a proper feel for whether that's possible. But it might be easy.

      I do not want to install a short shifter and the only other stock throw shifter I have seen is the Nismo "Rigid shifter" for $290 So plan A is to fill it with sikaflex to stiffen it up and hope for the best
