weather isnt that bad, low interest rates, low tax rates, wages are fine as long as you arent a bar attendant i have a mate whos a lawyer over there bringing in the money, and another mate of mine owns a car shop also bringing in the money. Not to mention incredibly low housing prices.

yea i guess if you dont mind the weather and you have a good proffession it can be okay. Im only saying that from a personal point of view because i lived there and i prefer australia. Sorry mods as this is totally off topic.

I didnt see any leaks? But then again I didnt really have a close look.

Told you the HIDs were illegal! lol. BOV I was expecting. I was pretty sure the exhaust was still too low. The window washers all worked!! WTF??

I dont see how your tint was too dark, and I thought you fixed your brake lights?

Glad they didnt notice the lack of AFM, but they seemed to pick up that we'd thrown my cat on :P

Oh well, give Chris's work a call first thing tomorrow morning and they'll try and book you in.

looks like your keeping my noncat for a while rhys... and they were mad about the missing bolts on the cat / exhaust

Your not going to hear me complaining! Haha.

And yeah, I though they might have. Better do a better job with that next time. Forgetting the gaskets wasnt the best idea :P

lol you got reemed!

Some quick tips:

1. get a high pressure washer and blast your car rather thoroughly before going to the pits

2. shouldn't get done for stupid things like brake lights etc, check all fuses and globes before going

Basically they are going to check EVERY stupid little thing (lights, washers, windows go up/down etc etc) before they move on to the big stuff.

What pits did you go to?

lol battery to be vented? I think its personal when the washer squirts lol..That radius rod issue, are the rods really damaged or it just looked oily? I've been trhough the pit with the same problem, because apparently the oil will somehow react with the bush and eventually damage it. but the pit ppl does not care if the bush is still ok or not, once they find oil, they'll tick as a defect. all you have to do is just wash it down clean.

The battery vented problem is that he obviously has a boot mounted battery (in a box) and the box hasn't got a snorkel (bit of tube going from the top of box thru the floor of the boot to the outside of the car).

correct. the radias rods are actually damaged, they are bent in a little at the bottom, easily fixed i think, just get a hammer and a screwdriver and whack them out. I did replaced all the globes previously but yeah it must be a fuse. there is no oil leaks either its just road glimes building up that i didn't get the chance to remove.

just take off the vaccum line on the BOV and block it, that is only to get over the pits, i just got yellowed today for POD FILTERS and my GT wing hehe, only had my car back for a week and yellowed already, i havnt even bedded my clutch in yet, i hope the inspector doesnt floor it when he checks it out

Tell the guy to take it easy because of that, If he f**ks your car then they should be liable to fix it. They aren't gods who are above the law.

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
