In this months - issue 12- ASM they have the rundown of MAS.

There are some pics of our girls... and yep - MzDefected is there :D Only Leon's car (WHYW-8) is pictured. We are mentioned as prize winners and there is a 1-para about the dyno comp 'controversy' with a small pic of the BLKJET supra.

So - worth a lookie at the newsagent, but that's about it :)

Yeah - so did I :)

Those chumps. Maybe if I had a dinosaur playing on a chrome PSX airbrushed on the side with neons - I might have stood a chance. That and a Ralliart sticker on the back :D

I was bored yesterday and bought the mag. If it's not against copywrite laws, I'll scan the MAS article with photos of our lovely ladies and post it.

Controversy, pffft. Who needs it. Let the times tell which car is better I say. Dyno figures are BS anyway.

They told me that I'd get a photo in there too :D Ah well, as James said, unless you have a $10k paint job and more chrome than a Terminator, you won't make it, even if you did win 3 trophies...

So they're not all bad :)

Yeah that was me. :D

Wow I'm famous :D

I wrote that letter because in the magazine that they gave us with our entry money, there was someone asking for information on Skyline clubs, and the editor (or whoever answers the mail) had refered the person to MCCR.

I mean... PUHLEASE!!!!!!!!!! ;)

So I emailed them and set them straight. :D

I never heard back from them so I kinda forgot about it....

But maybe that will get us a few new members too. :)

      Unpeeling the Orange

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
