looks better need to paint the manifold heat shied black and get rid of that red fuel hose. maybe even give the firewall a good clean

should also reroute the fuel inlet house between the last runners.

the missus is back home too so you can grab that motor whenever ya ready

everyone i am going to get a price for the accomadation for the easter cruise in airlie. can i get numbers for who is interested.

i am looking at where phil & i stayed as it was good for the bbq and safe to park cars

do palmyra drags open friday nights?

Yeah the manifold heat sheild is the next thing on the list, its only a little job so will give it a spray. Gonna make up a stainless heat shield one day maybe, but for now a paintjob will do

Fuel hose is up there to, should get off my ass and just go buy some haha. Will probably get a photo of the engine when the suns hitting it tomorrow. The whole bay needs a good clean but it'll get a respray and tidy up sometime next year, just not sure when at the moment

I'll probably not be able to townsville till about the 9th of December, let me know if you want the money for it now or cash when I pick it up

Let me know if thats no good and I'll organise to get it picked up

Palmyra opens for Test and Tune's every second friday night from memory. Had one the friday just gone

And the Airlie thing sounds good, your hotel was sweet lol

To easy, I'll be in touch before I head up anyway

So you planning good friday drags here then up to Airlie Saturday? Not a bad idea, I'll see if the calender is up that far in advance

[robbo_rb180]

yeah thats the plan so far, hopefully a few more townsville guys come this time.

i am going to start getting prices for accomadation in airlie beach for the easter cruise, just after numbers so i can get a more accurate figure.

so far the plan is to go mackay on good friday and race at palmyra drags if its open, then head to airlie on satday check into hotel, go for a drive get pics then let shenanigans begin.

where i am looking at for accomadation http://www.marinashores-whitsundays.com/at_Marina_Shores_Home.html

prices off their site http://www.marinashores-whitsundays.com/check_availability_hotel6.asp?Region=360&Town=Airlie+Beach&hid=9178&numAdults=1&numChildren=0&numRooms=1&roomType=0&lid=1&toPage=all&item=3&tranHost=&tranURL=&selDayStart=7&selMonthStart=4&selYearStart=2012&selDayEnd=9&selMonthEnd=4&selYearEnd=2012

i hope we can get a decent discount for a large group but really $200-$300 for 2 nights is pretty goo in my books. i think it cost me & phil $160ea for the night.

i will start a dedicared thread if get enough interest.

Looking good Cal not a bad colour choice i likey, i got a brand new set of Samco Radiator hoses and Samco Heater Hose kit in blue if your interested going cheap lol.

[89CAL]

Hmmm wasn't planning on going silicon (i assume that's what they are lol) hoses there because i keep hearing stock hoses are the best.

But maybe........ lol

[Force Fed]

Silicon takes the heat better, bit more durable.

From memory.

[Robi33]

We'll bring another milk crate of alcohol!

Chris, Pants are optional in Arlie.

[Force Fed]

if a dirty ass 33 is going, ill be there I'd say

[Robi33]

If my dirty tree isn't going by then, I'll be in a HiLux. Whattup for ROPs.

[The Mafia]

I can't believe this town...

My Mate takes his car into my favorite fabrication shop

- contractor does some work instead of usual staff

- contractor wanker proceeds to bad mouth me even though he's never met me, seen my work, etc. He'd "just heard some things" while pulling himself over the counter

- calls my mate and asks the stupidest question (says the new bovs won't fit because the old one is in the way..?)

- then SNAPS the front grille clean in half, and tries to hide it by "melting" the plastic together with something like a soldering iron.

Grille is $600 unpainted from Nissan.

My mate is f**ken pissed, and I mean really pissed.

Dodgiest flamin mongrel in the world....

If I ever go back to his shop I'll be specifically asking for them to not let this clown near my car.

Mackay is full of dishonest shit stains.

[dysonest]

lmfao what shop was it ??? and who did the work ??

[The Mafia]

I wouldn't really laugh at that. My mate is a 6"6 half Maori diesel fitter.

Just proves how much of a f**ken wanker you are dishonest.

[The Mafia]

you know what? I'm over it.

If you want to be a c%nt, then fine.

Not sure what the need is to have an attitude like yours, but, that's your problem not mine.

[dysonest]

im laughing at the shop dickhead and asked what shop it was.... wasnt laughing at ur half maori mate. like a give a f**k who's car it was and who cares if his half maori 3/4 abo 1/8 wog
