Cut me deep... :laughing-smiley-014:

LOL...dont hang shit on The Streets , they are modern day poets :P

Ah yes the Lada. So sad to see it go. It was a loyal thing, it saved my life last year when my car was off the road. It provided endless entertainment when having a can, several episodes of me in fits of laughter when coming home to see its bumper bar and other misc bolts accross the street as a result of the proud dad deciding it needed more lighting. It annoyed neighbours...it was a crowd puller at car shows.

Im not sure what i miss the most, the Lada or the cat :D

Ahhh the memories.........

Some of my favourites include:

1. As you said, trying to hit 80km/hr on the back straight at Sandown was hilarious.

2. Juz climbing on the roof and breaking the ariels at the GP and then denying it.

3. Me and Scottish took the lada down to Phillip Island for a track day, and when we got out, our feet were still vibrating 20 minutes later.

4. At the drags, when your passenger became concerned that his seat was not exactly bolted down.

5. Listening to Ash b!tch about how cold it was in the "Russian Ice Chest" the whole way back from Shepparton.

6. The prescence - nothing funnier than rocking up to traffic lights in the Lada, people chcking out the stickers, ariels, yellow flashing light, etc, etc and the looks on their faces while they try to figure out WTF kind of car it is.

RIP Team Lada :P

I have fond memories of being very drunk at the GP06 and breaking the aeriel conectors off the lada after trying to get down off the roof, right after this photo was taken..

Outside the Committee Meeting at Leewang's house, busting the centre shaft out of one of them, and then pushing the damn thing across the tram lines into a random car park.

Removing the exhaust system for tractor sounds.

And the mercy dash back from DECA after my "Radiator Incident" to my best mates engagement party.

:wave: SAU needs a Lada support vehicle.

Hehe - vandal!

Here's a happy time. Waiting on the side of the Hume after realising the low fuel warning light actually worked...

One for the books, where my car actually rescused the Lada, rather then vice versa :wave:

LOL...i hardly recognise the hard top without the black bonnet and all the stickers :P

      Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.

      The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?

      I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.

      I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
