Hey,

On Jan 1st I am going on a fishing trip to the far west coast at Yalata.

For the 10 days i'm going to need a quad bike for the beach.

Is there anyone on here that knows where I can hire one for a good price or even borrow one of someone for some cash.

Please PM me!

thanks

i have 2 quads but im not real keen on you taking them down the beach.

there both racing quads anyway so not ideal for what you require.

what you really need is a old farm quad like a timberwolf or trx etc that has racks for your esky and tackle box etc.

often find them cheap on ebay.

failing that theres lots of cheap chinese quads around at the moment.

just get a 2nd hand one thats still running and use that for the trip.

im thinking around the $300 mark should get you something half useful, and then just sell it as soon as you get back before it rusts.

also take a heap of crc with you and go to town on the quad before you ride on the beach the first time.

are you going with someone else that has a quad?

if so a small trailer maybe an option.

you can get them about 1m square, they weigh stuff all so easy to tow and you can sit in that.

mount a swivel chair in the middle and you can back it up to the surf and fish away.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
