I'm sure Ben has pitched a few tents in the back of that thing...

I've carried many types of boxes in the back of that van :starwars:

Was a great day, my van smelt like methanol the whole way to work - perfect way to wakeup at 4am this morning.

Of course! Must have had atleast a dozen people pull me up on the stickers by midday today...

love the sig. Ben...well done.

but...on the 8.07 run you took off so quick down the track you forgot to wait for the rope man. If only you could get your vechicle to take off that quick when you are driving on the other side of the wall. :D

Oh I waited, you were too busy wiping up ur mess!

You should have seen Marks reaction at the top end, I yelled out 8.07 out my van window and he jumped into the air. On the way up it was "yessss" on the way down it was "arghh noooo" so close yet so far from a 7.

Then their was some hoon in a datto 1600 pull up trying to pick him up like it was Kings Cross on a friday night!

You're memory is a bit fuzzy, Ben. The Datto was there long before the white van. :D I drove around the bend in the deep beeping and yelling and waving and I could see Mark saying, "Was it? Did I? What was it?"

So close yet so far. Video is uploading now.

      Blue slip

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.

      Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.

      Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?

      You just need a different blue slip shop (preferably one you regularly use as a mechanic), and make sure the coil overs are as close as possible to standard height

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By Duncan · Posted

      yeah the sugar refining companies were pushing for the same in Oz originally, all fuels were going to have 10% ethanol to make them "cheaper" (noting, that the loss in l/100 might be greater than the decrease in price). I guess they won that fight in Canadia
