Hey guys, I'm Nigel, a member from Adelaide.

I'm asking for a large favour for monday (04/08/08)

Myself and a mate land at Brissy airport at 9am, and need to get to Morayfield to pick up my new beast from another member, ready to drive home to Adelaide. I would greatly appreciate a lift from a generous member if it was in any way possible. The trip will of course be rewarded with petrol money. The trip is 45kms approx, and would prefer a faster and more economical alternative to a $100 taxi for a <45 minute trip.

I also need to make my way to Queensland transport on piper street at Morayfield also, but thats only a $15 taxi from the car's location, so i have that covered.

Hoping that a member finds it in thier heart to give 2 guys a lift on thier way to work or whatever.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Nigel.

cant help with the lift but i'd suggest the train

yeah i was gonna suggest the train whist reading too.. would be alot more convenient.. take train to neatest station and bus/taxi it to his house then drive to qld transport.. alternatively if your just looking to trade in the plates just drive to adelaide and trade them in there.. its do-able

i would have been willing to give you a lift but have to work

good luck with the new car :)

i figured most people would be working. Time is an issue, hence i dont wanna wait for the train. Already checked the time tables, and i'd be losing over an hour of precious travel time. Car is unregoed, so cant drive it till i get permits from qld transport, hence all the taxi's.

Hmm I'd be happy to run you around for the morning but not sure I can get the time off work ><

Surely there is someone on here who works casual work or something?

We don't have any luggage by the way, nor do we smell.... (contrary to rumours)

Easy way to make $50 for 45 minutes of someones time?

We need to hit the road to home by about 11am, so thats why i'd prefer no taxi queues or trains.

Cheers guys

Heading down the coast that day for work so can't help you out. No offence but you probably should have picked a more appropriate username before you posted this request lol :) Good luck and hope you find someone to take u there!

haha yeh, i realised that this morning. "BIT SUS" are my rego plates here in SA, they used to be on my track spec forester. :O

PM Sent..........

Thanks for your help guys! A very generous member has come forward to the rescue!

i'll post up some photos of the new whip when she's home safe after a 2100km journey.

did i read correctly?

track spec forester?

i didn't realise there were track spec station wagons....

unless the race includes picking up shopping, kids from rugby etc. sorta like what the v8 should do to make it more realistic....

"track spec" =

110KW NA

1290kg

racing logic coilovers.

full whiteline range

18x8's

5 degrees castor

-2.5 camber

handled like a go kart. really miss it ;) was perfect for hills runs would outrun bikes

Haha nah it's true, any decent car will out-corner a decent bike. Look at the difference in how much rubber is on the road - two contact patches the size of a 20c piece versus four big 235mmx20mm or whatever patches. A well-ridden bike can be damn hard to catch but a well driven car should be able to hold more corner speed, the only saving grace for the bike is that it can use wider lines but it takes a LOT of commitment to ride that hard.

It's fun trying though :blink:

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
