Boozing on an empty stomach = get hammered quick = the fun begins earlier!

hrm

reminds me of when i went to moonta. was up to fix some computer issues at the local hospital so I figured I'd also spend a day fishing off the jetty, so I pitched a tent at the caravan park and went to do my work. by the time I'd finished, the only thing open was the bottleshop - no servos even... ended up buying half a dozen old crow premixed bourbon (8%) and proceeded to the jetty with my fishing rods...

after staggering back to the tent and passing out at some unknown time, I woke up in the morning and my intestines felt like i'd been drinking lava.... my mate who had joined me was in an equally bad state (old crows are rough as) so we packed up and headed down to the cafe next to the clock tower... ordered a big big feed of bacon, eggs and toast which really hit the spot

after getting in the car, my mate just couldnt hold on, and as we were turning out of the main street of moonta, he unwound the window and projectile vomited several metres - amazingly he didnt get any on the car... was a waste of a good breakfast tho

-D

bahahahahaa fail

hey SLED, dont take the new truck anywhere near the cold stuff. Forum member from Albury posted this on Thursday

200 Series Cruisers.

Today it dropped to -1 degrees and that was all a bit much for the 200 series cruisers at work. We have 4. All 4 of them would start then shut down. People thought diesel was too cold.

My TD42Ti Patrol and TDCi Focus started just fine as did the work Ford Rangers.

Then we rang the other work site. Same problem, and they refuel at a different place so it wasn't a bad batch of fuel.

Looks like they are scared of a little frost!!! Ha ha.

Rang Toyota. They had no idea. Said we might need Alpine blend! At -1!!! WTF!!! Local stations don't even supply Alpine!

I'm am happy with my old school TD42Ti!

im heaps good.

just ate 3 slices of shaved ham 4 days past its use by date.

thought it tasted a bit wrong.

meh, shot of bundy should fix it.

ahaah didnt u eat some out of date meat not long ago n spent the next day on the shitter??????

ahaahahah hope it happens again, so it teaches u a lesson.......... :P

Well, picking up another front bar to replace the 'hacked' front bar this morning. Its not too bad on the eyes ... but its a temp anyway for now. Tracy and I have a buyer for our house, so after settlement the 33 will get a decent kit. I'm happy for peeps to shot me pics of what they think looks noice ... keep in mind its a 4 door :P

We're thinking a suitable/subtle front bar (Aero type R or similar), type M skirts modded to fit, and pods for the rear.

I likey!!! Now ... how much do they cost? :laugh: I like the rims too ... what are they? Anyone?

How much diff is there between S1 and S2 kits?

Oh, and I got offered a swap with my current 19" Impuls for 18" Impuls, but have not heard back from person and can't recall who they were. Is it anyone here? :rofl:

    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
    • I forgot about my shiny new plates!
    • Well, apparently they do fit, however this wont be a problem if not because the car will be stationary while i do the suspension work. I was just going to use the 16's to roll the old girl around if I needed to. I just need to get the E90 back on the road first. Yes! I'm a believer! 🙌 So, I contacted them because the site kinda sucks and I was really confused about what I'd need. They put together a package for me and because I was spraying all the seat surfaces and not doing spot fixes I decided not to send them a headrest to colour match, I just used their colour on file (and it was spot on).  I got some heavy duty cleaner, 1L of colour, a small bottle of dye hardener and a small bottle of the dye top coat. I also got a spray gun as I needed a larger nozzle than the gun I had and it was only $40 extra. From memory the total was ~$450 ish. Its not cheap but the result is awesome. They did add repair bits and pieces to the quote originally and the cost came down significantly when I said I didn't need any repair products. I did it over a weekend. The only issues I had were my own; I forgot to mix the hardener into the dye two coats but I had enough dye for 2 more coats with the hardener. I also just used up all the dye because why not and i rushed the last coat which gave me some runs. Thankfully the runs are under the headrests. The gun pattern wasn't great, very round and would have been better if it was a line. It made it a little tricky to get consistent coverage and I think having done the extra coats probably helped conceal any coverage issues. I contacted them again a few months later so I could get our X5 done (who the f**k thought white leather was a good idea for a family car?!) and they said they had some training to do in Sydney and I could get a reduced rate on the leather fix in the X5 if I let them demo their product on our car. So I agreed. When I took Bec in the E39 to pick it up, I showed them the job I'd done in my car and they were all (students included) really impressed. Note that they said the runs I created could be fixed easily at the time with a brush or an air compressor gun. So, now with the two cars done I can absolutely recommend Colourlock.  I'll take pics of both interiors and create a new thread.
