Guys, going to the sydney motor show this weekend and obviously taking my camera. I have two cameras and wanted to know

a) which one to take, and

Take the FE220, it's an ok camera, good for personal shots and things, the other one is a bit old, round 4-5 years i'm guessing? and only 4MP vs 7.1, not that MP matters, it's all about image quality, optical zoom and ISO, both have pretty low zooms 3x and 4x,

So i reckon the FE220

If you are looking into getting into real good photography later on, I'd recommend if you're on a budget of say $500

get the FujiFilm S5700 and a 2-4gb SD card + some rechargable AA batteries, it takes nice quality photos 10x optical zoom, good for point and shoot work

or hardcore styles a Canon 30D or 40D then say a 35-200mm lense, will easily set you back a few grand, usually round 3k

Make sure you post the pics up of any good skylines at the show :rolleyes: have fun dude

Haha cheers mate, don't think there will be any skylines, I wish the new gtr would be there but don't think im that lucky.

Ur right about the c-750, although it does have 10x optical zoom and far more manual features, not that i know how to use them though ;-)

The fe220 seems to be quite a nice point and shoot camera, but most of the photos i have taken in darkish environments turn out weird.

Be patient... There will be a lot of people in there... people will walk infront of you, and they will bump you...

Eventually you'll get the shot you want... and the more important your camera looks, the more people that will stop for you :thumbsup:

Get a lanyard around your neck too :)

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
