Hi all

Thought I would start this as the g/f and I are trying to decide on what to do this year.

We have both agreed the UK is not on the cards as we have done it every year for the last 6 years and are sick of the travel plus my parents are coming this way in March anyway.

California is top of the "to do" list but realistically with the Evo, Dutton, Apartment purchase and other expenses it would be foolish to spend towards 10K on a couple of weeks there inc flights.

Evan has mentioned Vanuatu in July which sounds tempting and Joel has spoken about QLD in June.

Am quite keen to go overseas but without the hullaballoo of long haul, just for this year.

So, what do people have planned and I don't mean dream trips but serious trips for this year! :)

:verymad:

Go to Fiji, cheap as, not far away, packages for around $1000.00

:)

hong kong is a killer place, shopping is UNBELIEVABLE and it's a nice place to visit. Food is quite cheap too.

did africa in '06, kenya, tanzania, zanzibar. Yeah, not cheap to get there, can be as cheap as you want it to be once in the country.

hk ftw

explanation on how one obtains 3 first class tickets for free!!?????!!?? and how does one use these tickets instead of yourself :)

I'll be off to New Zealand late Feb/March for a week or two at this stage.

Just not sure on the dates etc

:) , your going for the race aren't you...actually is it even still on or confirmed. If it is i'm so there!

not giving you any of my trade secrets but lets just say 'connections'...

:O

the tickets are for myself and two other mates and if we cancel we will probably re-book them for later in the year.. :sorcerer:

Going to Sydney for GF's bday in April. It's her 30th so we're gonna do it big!

Heading to Vegas in late June/July for the World Series of Poker and play with the best of them. Hoping to stop by in Korea to visit a friend who started a business over there.

Maybe heading to India on a sponsored poker trip for India's first major poker tourney. I said if they sponsor me and pay for all my stuff, I'd be happy to represent them.

A mate of mine is going to Europe for 8 months, and he threw the suggestion out a couple weeks back that we should do a Contiki tour or somthing while were still young and have cash to throw away aimlessly. So i booked my ticket last week for a tour around the mediterranean for nice mid winter vacation. Plus a bit of a stay with some family to make my grandparents happy... should be hot as hell there with plenty of nice european womenz walking around. Im going to try book tickets for two F1 grand prix aswell, probably the British and German races. Always wanted to go to Silverstone to watch a GP.

Its going to be an absolute mess of a holiday, but i dun care. I can always accumulate more money, but your only young once. This impulsive habit im developing is going to bite me in the ass i can see it now, but id rather that, than talk crap and say "maybe this year... or nah maybe next year" and end up doing nothing.

In June, I'm going here with my brother

Should be ace :glare:

Can you pack me in your suitcase james?? >_<

With a new business just started, most i can hope for is some car/speedfreak related getaways. Southern 80 for a week in Feb & a trip to Gold Coast Indy later in the year. Road trip for the Evo??

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
