mick certinly does a good job...you'd expe3ct that from a ex detailer...shame to hear you cant make it i was looking forward to having a squiz at the car...

we are leaving sat morning early...going to jsut jap on the way and then should be there for the show :D

can i ask people...whats the go with sydney night life n stuff??? we are staying in homebush...where is good to go party??

Gus, I *think* Auto Salon used to do parties at the venue for participants on the Saturday nights, not sure if they're doing it for this one.

To be honest, the day itself is pretty exhausting, and being there the whole weekend can be even more so. If you're still keen to party, there's not much in Homebush, but the city is only about 20mins away. The train station is right near the halls where Auto Salon is held, so if you're staying really close to that you're in luck.

haha...not an entrant....honestly i wouldn't mind just having dinner and chillin at the bar below the hotel but mates wana go party so yeh was jw. being from canberra we dont really get to sydney much and our night life is pretty shit.

how much is a train ride and how long they run for?

and....how many cars have SAU got for a display???

We have 6 entrants

Trains actually stop going to homebush around 11 I think, so you'll need to get a taxi back (I would check this, I could be wrong)

The night life in the city on Saturday is everywhere, would be hard not to find something :P

Also, the bar in the hotel is where we partied it up afterwards... So yeah, a quiet chillin dinner probably won't happen :)

    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
