Serious decisions to be made..... Tugga High Country, or a week in the Whitsundays on a 54' self-drive powerboat. LOL (amazing how 6hrs can throw so many curve balls at you!)

Edited by Marlin
anyone watch Targa NZ on the weekend? Good to see Parsons is still racing his TR7 V8

speaking of the Parsons TR7, YT is in NZ at the moment, spoke to him tuesday and

he was doing lap's at hampton down's in Parson's rig, recon's it's a fair jigger....

Yeah I had the choice between TWP11 and Whistler.

I'm going skiing :P

I heard they're not allowing strokers and sequentials in.... shock horror! LOL

Where are they covered in the eligibility regs again? :P

Good to see the guys are serious about this

Looks like I now have seats sorted for HC (provided we make the cut), TWP and TT.

Now just need to try and find a classic silly seat for Rally Tas!

Ben, I'm on my way up wash your mouth out for even saying you're contemplating not doing High Country :D

Catchy's missus saying in the background of our phone conversation, "remember David, you have a family now!" has kind of taken the sheen off it for me to be frank.

I like to have a crack, not just drive around, and to have that shit hanging over my head sucks a thick one.

I dunno Sav. I had 800 down since April toward TT2011 and asked them to shift it over towards THC. Now I need to ask Helen to shift it back again! LOL

I'm determined to do TT2011. Tim said he's locked in with me, time will tell I guess, knew I shouldn't have taught him so well :happy:

Who's got timmy for targa high?

I'm OUT!

David Smokespole can't even find the time to call me back, so yeah, I've lost interest.

I'm going boating and drinking with Giant instead :)

That sucks the big one Woo! Either way I'm sure you'll enjoy the Whitsundays :nyaanyaa:

When I look at all the money torn up doing these events, then look out in front of my place - no big boat. Good choice. We call it fun Ben, but those closest to us my have a diffferent spin lol.

oh no's, how will all those Targa spec emo's on my105 sell now?

Anyone know if Weeksy is converting to the super turefo spec's?

ALL?? Only X see Beaumonts 2.4 stroker... but did see JK has his RS & N1 for sale. Both very good cars.

TT

You doing it Greggy?

Nah... doing a ground up rebuild and looking to do the PP thing. Plus wouldnt mind a few casual road trips like Mt Stuart in the future. Mind you some of the THC roads look trick. (Speaking of THC hang on...)

Maybe we have done our last Targa. The last one was what I wanted to do, but not with all the wank that followed. Might even run someone in our car - cos I still like beating the factories (and anyone else that finishes behind us).

Six years is a long time and when we lost Bunnings the cost became unsustainable. New challenges I think. The TPCR with the likes of Hooch and A.Lawson seems like fun though.

TWP & TWP are on the horizon - but will be modern classic by the time we get there.

TT

    • 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
    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
