So we are now only just over 2 weeks away until christmas. It is the festive season majority of people have time off this time of year spend time with their loved ones etc...

So what i would like to know is where are you going for your holidays?

If your not going away, have you planned anything to do whilst on holidays? With the kids/girlfriend/wife/parents etc...

Every year my family and i go to a caravan park in Narooma NSW which is on the south east coast about 45 mins north of bega.

We spend 2 weeks up, we leave on Boxing Day and return on either 8th or the 9th.

At the place i work at we get 4 weeks off as our factory closes down so we dont really get to choose when we take holidays but its not that bad as it actually feels like a holiday having a break from work for that long.

So i will be in NSW for 2 of the 4 weeks and for the last 2 ill be back in melbourne partying and looking for a new job as i am so over my job.

Well thats enough from me, So lets here what your all doing.

Simon :D

Well I drove to work today, 1st time since right kneecap removed. Sore.

Dont know how Id be able to drive a long distance - was hoping to take the family away for 2 nights to Robe or somewhere else on the Limestone Coast in SA........... to afford that and a retune I was planning on not paying the morgage this month :)

Have a safe holiday all.

Ahhh Christmas.......

Unfortunately I am one of those poor suckers that have to work thru xmas and new year.... Whilst everyone is holidaying I will be at work looking after all those who have holidays :)

Gotta love the hospitality industry :)

At this stage

Leaving boxing day, driving up to the major theme parks in QLD, then driving down to Canberra for summernats 5/6/7/8th of January.

Send me a text or call me and let me know what day you are going to summer nats cause Narooma is only 3 and a bit hours from canberra and i have done it before

I'm getting a shoulder reconstruction on Monday. That will severely f**k my Christmas.

But I can drink left handed and have today received a shit load of lefthanded toilet paper.

Hahaha..............thats some funny left handed shit. Not the shoulder recon though, hope all goes well with that.

I'll be heading up to Seal Rocks on the 28th Dec till the 4th Jan, I got mates 30th on the 6th so i gotta be back for that.

Hmmmmmm...........Summernats hey.Will be considering that as a possibility.

I've been to the nats every year for the past 6 years i've been in canberra.

If you want cheap tickets, go to one of the side gates on the saturday and the rebels are usually selling weekend tickets for about $70, as opposed to over $100 from the gate. they get free tickets for doing 'crowd control' and sell them to make a bit of extra cash.

Drove down from Rocky to brisbane last week for my grandpa funeral, spent last couple of days catching up with relo's and freinds, this weekend replacing the heater core out in Ipswich then chillin out and going back to rocky on boxing day.

Shit!!!

Are teh boys still doin that......

Been doin that for the past 13 years or so......

Good to see that some things never change :wave:

I'll be working through christmas, As I have a couple of weeks off before and after I get married on the 13th of Jan.

Will be at Summernats though, to catch up with all the Stagea owners coming to our fair City.

Ahh the joys of being a contractor...

Only time I get off are the pubic (!) holidays, and only then because the office isn't open.

So, no road trip this year, although the way the road toll is going this year this is probably a good thing.

I would rather wait until march or so and then take a couple of weeks off when the crowds have died down anyway.

    • Thanks mate, couldn't find in VIC, ended up ordering one from NSW, getting rwc to get new plates and registration done.
    • Before all the EFR fan boys come in, have a look at: https://www.garrettmotion.com/racing-and-performance/performance-catalog/turbo/g-series-ii-g30-825-58mm/ It also comes in a T4 1.06 divided housing. I would dare say if you want response & also decent power, this thing would chop.   AND apologies, just re-read your post, you've already bought the turbo... whatever you do, make sure you stick with divided housing and proper twin scroll manifold.
    • People have got to stop doing that. ShatGPT is not a search engine. It is a hallucination factory.   I also would recommend the 1.05. The .83 will "work" for you , in that it will be more responsive, but I think you'll find that it won't be anywhere near as good running it out to 8000rpm as the big housing will be.
    • Decided for the first time ever I would tow my car TO the track day on the same working theory as bringing tools and spares "if I have it I wont need it, but if I leave it behind i will 100% need it" all setup and ready to go out and try these A050 for the first time First session showed I needed to stiffen up the dampers a touch but still managed a few 1:21's without much effort. things were looking good. Came in a dropped the tyres down  to 26/28 as they had gotten to 35/33C from 22C cold The first lap of session two I managed to drop into 1:20's. Then in the second lap into the second session. Coming into T3 and I suddenly lost brake pedal followed by some huge rear end vibrations and scraping sounds. Got it back into the pits after session ended and found this. in the attached video, all of the wobble is in the hub its self, wheel is mint, and bearing feels tight. lKXLqpd - Imgur.mp4   Deciding it was a bent spindle I tried to find bearing/hub assembly locally but was unsuccessful so it was loaded back onto the trailer i luckily brought it on to drag it back home
