they just talked about turning the old talem bend mitsu plant into drag strip.. 1.6km's baby!

7news that was!!

I used to work at Mitsi's 3 years ago, been down to the track at Tailem a couple times. 4WD track in a petrol V6 Triton that's not my own car = best fun I've ever had in a car :blink:

you mean other than the place listed in the thread?

Just Jap or ISC. Support the traders that support the forum that supports you.

the trust one that ISC sells will handle just about anything you can throw at it

same too with the ARC ones from JJ

-D

yeah make it at tailem bend........closer for me that way hahahaha :P:/

k, under SLEDs instructions im taking it to the wasteland.

So much talk about "why the older members aren't around much anymore" Anyone want to elaborate on that? The SA page is just a minute representation of SAU itself, i dont see how new members have forced them away. I can bet they were new members once too, and probably tried just as hard to fit around the place. And Deluxe mentioned ass sucking, how so?

Geez, just imagine what it would be like around here if everyone got along... We might even have a real club.

end of rant.

well, its taken me most of the evening, but ive replaced the 2 standard clarion speakers in the parcel shelf (blown) and the aftermarket pioneers in the doors (...also blown) with some clarion 2-ways in the back and some clarion components in the doors. i can now listen to music. :blink:

... was only after i finished that i noticed my entire stereo is clarion...

Anyone here see the truck that rolled over just after torrens rd today on south rd right near that bend? Must of been hooning and rolled the complete truck over. Took out a stobbie poll, guard rail, front fence. Had to get a crain in to lift the thing up.

Cant find the news story but looked crazy.

Nah dude didn't see it and I was just down there.

I do have some important news for everyone here though.

Houston............................................... we have flutter.

<<cue dramatic music>>

No didn't see it but I did have to turn onto Regency Rd because the road was blocked heading sth

yeah don't know Damo.....also don't know why Deluxe is so pissed off. The few times he's been on lately has been to post something negative if I recall.

If my memory serves me correctly, it was actually an older member that upset him over the whole Auto Salon fiasco that he kept dissing........haven't heard alot since then.......shame really cause I got on OK with the guy.

:blink: wouldnt say i was "so pissed off" there Pete, and as for the few times i HAVE been on here, was once to give my yearly abuse to the ricealon guys(Hi Martin :/ ), advertise my old car and well.......now!!

And as for being "upset" with a older member, i disagre, he was the only one who bit back when i continued, it was more so the people(organisers) who couldnt see what i AND Dan(sinista) were on about regarding the first one show "SAU" entered.

That was all a long progression for me to loose interest in cars and this particular forum, Im fair over cars these day for the exception of motorsport, to where i am quite involved with two mates who race. And as for this forum i saw it in its best interest for me and others to not continue to post here any longer, hence my ghost like appearance.

There are a few people here i still chat to every now and then, which is great to hear their progressions with their cars, So next time i see you on your bike i'll be sure come say hi!!

p.s. Damo, Im sure you'll understand what i mean when the time comes to it!! If not dont loose sleep!!

Must admit, the mood has changed on here over the years...

Always the post whores who hang around a year or so, then dissapear (myself kind of included hehe) but everyone won't always be "hunky dory" with each other.

One day I may even get my Liberty out to an SAU meet - or is the "skylines only" mentality still a little prominent at the moment with the "family"?

yes I'm being shit_stirrer_thmb.jpg:blink:

    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
