I think thats like 95% of any car club Damo.

I agree totally. :P

I disagree a little though roo, ive been involved in a some of the more prestige clubs over the time(ie mustang etc),and there are certainly a lot of tossers out there,but ive seen the owners actually looking after their cars and try to keep there name of the club clean,not out drifting in the city or suburbsiin broad daylight,or slagging other clubs while on line for all to see. Of course we dont have to like their clubs if we dont want too just like other things keeping it known but discreet is the key i rekon,some of the younger lot dont understand this theory.

I mean i know we arent a club instead a gathering of people with import cars etc,just think that not enough people think before they talk/act and ruin it for others,both to stay in the club or wanting to join in future.

enough of my opinion /

Sorry mate, a bit loose with the "any" car club comment. I've only been exposed to those car clubs (gemis, escorts, skylines, silvias, 1600s) that do attract alot of younger owners.

Tracy's brother Paul hangs with alot of mature Street Machine owners and they're very laid back socially and big enthusiasts. Perhaps I'll get me that SLR afterall and get into the street machine scene. :P

I ride with some girls and they're pretty much one of the boys ... so they get called 'mate' and they have no problem with it.

On the topic of bikes and girls ...

I hate those young tossers who think they've got a chance trying to hit on the girls in the biker group. Like they think because they ride a bike too, the girls are so going to try and hook up. "Hey babe, I ride too. See my sexy 250cc? Bet you'd like to ride it" :)

And the tossers who think getting a motorcycle adds sex appeal. Most of them dress like dorks and ride like twats ... there's nothing appealing about it :P You ride for the passion for bikes, not for the perceived Hollywood-promoted image.

Told you you'd regret selling it :)

Yeah, most of the old school bikers aren't out as much anymore. Too many softies and egos on bikes now, with their "gold card" shiny new gear :P

You going to view the Toy Run riding past Damo? Tracy and I will be in it.

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
