My plans for tonight have fallen throughand i thought i might come and check out the rice. I probably cant make it to the first screening so i was to go to just the second one would i still be able to see much or do u get whats left in the corner if you come late?

just for anyone who was wondering and there seems to be alot of questions about it.....you can start and run your car between movies...which is about 15mins usually...and just incase the battery still doesnt make it they have dudes with jumper packs come around at the end of the movie.....and if that doesnt work i have a set of great jumper leads in my car also. nothing to worry about...im a bit of a drive ins whore as bass hill is 2 mins from my house =) and also you dont need to clip the wire to you car as they transmit a pretty high quality sound through the radio without static.

....and if all else fails i know a guy (100% blind at that) that lives right on the boundary fence of the complex (whom is able to sit in his lounge room with a good radio and listen to the movies everynight) who owns a chicken farm so we could always just "borrow" 500 dozen eggs and have some errrr "fun".

Guys... on the radio this morning the police where saying they have cracked down on street racing and will be targeting people who drive cars like those in the fast and the furious especially in a group.. Great!

Lets just take it easy, the police wont bother us if we behave. If they come up to us I will talk to them, tell them we are just out to see a movie and we are a social group. Its all good...

Never fear, Carlo's here! :)

Seriously, if we do run into them just tell them we're out to see a movie and having a bit of fun, the rice is just to make fun of people who mod their cars tastelessly and we're behaving ourselves the cops would have to be complete c**ts to try anything...

..uhhhh news just in, apparently they are... :bahaha: (just kidding officer!) :)

Well...

1. The movie was quite............ different. They actually decided to try and have a plot this time. As much as it surprised me, I think I enjoyed the first one more.

2. Dundan and Kelly need to be hung, drawn and quartered for defacing their skyline. Wait for pics........... Unbelievable :P

3. Great turnout guys, but I don't know why you all hid in the corner, I parked right in front of the screen and had a great view :D

Had a top night guys! Nice to finally meet some of you...

How good was the rice efforts of Majanal and Duncan...? Fully Sik! I'll send my pics around later...

Hopefully this is the start of more 'stupid idea' nights! :P

Oh yeah, and the movie was pretty good too. A lot better than I expected. Especially liked the Skyline nailing the Supra at the start!

    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
