Tech Session - Suspension ++ Open To Everyone ++


Recommended Posts

Well that was really good :) good meeting some of yas. Can't complain with a free wheel alignment :) Next tech session should be learning about dyno tuning with free tunes :) .....just an idea.

I'll get the few photos I took up in a bit.

Hey Guys,

I had a great morning! Thanks to those that joined in and A HUGE thanks to Graham, Nick and the team at Fulcrum Capalaba.

For those that didn't attend, here's a quick summary;

** We were welcomed by the Nick and his Team, the BBQ was in full swing - Sausage Sizzle and cold drinks, what more could you ask for!!

** Graham then started his session - Not your boring 'class room' style presentation.

He got a number of OUR cars up on the hoist and then went to town!

We were all in, around and under the cars... look at this... check out that... etc. Full explanations, loads of free advice, etc.

With his 30+ years of experience, there wasn't a question that he couldn't answer!

Unfortunately I had to leave early :D but I think there were 6+ skylines up on the hoist. Every car had a diagnosis - with some more embarrassing than others (damn it, those cheep tyres!!)

another HUGE THANKS to the Fulcrum guys.

I didn't find the session to be a big 'sales pitch'. Please support them when and where you can!

I know Nick will do a great deal if anyone needs parts or service! - 07 3390 3900

** Keep a look out for the next Tech Session - well hope to have another one in approx 4 to 6 weeks.

Cheers

well done to the event execs and dan for setting it up. chris has summarised it all quite nicely and i won't say much more on it.

it was good to catch up with everyone and put a few names to faces.

ToMMah, never realised who you were :blush:

sorry i had to leave early, had to go to work.

how'd his head bruise turn out by the end of the session?!

i spoke with nick also and they will honour discounts for club members across any fulcrum outlet (just make sure you call nick first so he can organise it at the relevant outlet). just let him know you are a club member and show your card.

    • I'm so far behind in the jobs I have to do at both work and home (including car) that I have become immortal. There's simply no way that I can die now.
    • Each to their own I guess  Me, I put just as much time into cleaning inside of the cars as I do on the outside As for getting wet, it is really no different than steam cleaning the carpets at home, apart from the cars carpet dries alot faster than the house, again, I only do it in the hotter months and leave the car opened up for a few hours As I only do it yearly, it is just before I do the diff and gearbox service, so I clean the carpets, then it's up on stands, wheels off, service, clean the undercarriage,  grease the bushings and do a nut and bolt check on everything  Disclaimer: I typically had all the time in the world to kill when I was working 🤣, so spending a full day or 2 cleaning, serving and "looking at stuff" was,  easily achievable, and a fun mental therapy day As for time to kill, I retired last Wednesday, so apart from my physical training, my days are filled with lots of random jobs around the house and garden...."Idle hands are the Devils something something" I am also buying a new house sooner rather than later, I'm actually looking at a potential property tomorrow, I'm looking forward to getting a car hoist as I'm starting to get to old to crawl around under a car, I can only imagine all the undercarriage cleaning and looking at stuff when that gets set up
    • Yeah, I'm not interested in wetting the carpets, and I don't care about brown dirt/dust that lives deep in the pile or underneath. It's not like I crawl around on them in my birthday suit or eat dropped food off them (because there is never any open food in my car). The seats are alcantara (cheap Chinese imitation alcantara, to be sure!) with barely 1" of foam pad behind the surface. That's not getting wet either. Any car that I would be happy to get the interior wet, I would not care to put the effort into.
    • We have one that holds 2.8L of water. On floor carpet that hasn't been touched in 2 or 3 years, will take a minimum of 2 fills of the tank to do a bedroom, and that's going AROUND the bed.   In the cruiser, I used an ENTIRE 2.8L tank, just on the front passenger footwell. But it had some fungus growing, and had been full of mud from being used as a 4WD for many years. I can do that floor again, and it will still pull mud out. However, the water now only looks dirty, not pitch black and leaving full sludge in the bottom of the tank it sucks back into. Oh, and, this is about a $1500 unit.
    • This is mine, works a treat for the cars, suction is good, I use the Bissell clean and protect stuff I have found giving it a good spray and light scrub with the soft brush on the head of the nossle for carpet, and a rub with a microfibre for cloth seats and cloth door trims, prior to another quick spray before vacuuming it up works the best @GTSBoy You would surprised on what it gets out of carpet and seats that actually "look" clean, I recommend that you test drive yours when you have a little time to kill, then post pics of the muddy looking water that I believe you will find
