This is epic!!

Spewing I am gonna miss it. I think I would have learn't a bit more about the meaning of life if I made it to this.

*guffaw* @ Smoothlines post.

Are those +1's are Han and Bek?

If so, Joshy could you put me down for +1 too? Or are we getting too big on the #'s?

And who's gonna drive my drunk ass home afterwards?

Nup my +1 is Ryan ;) He loves teh CJ's, I'm assuming Jasons +1 is Bek though.

my councillor is still hot

in.

Sorry Mud, bookings are done and done; they won’t allow any more people. As per the quotes below. Damnit was pretty keen to go I think, maybe send him a PM and make a small group booking then just drag your tables and chairs over.

We’re at more then 45 people on the list, so I assume at least one has made a smaller table booking as I’ve mentioned it a few times already.

Unfortunate I know, however their rules

If everyone could RSVP for yourself and any guests by the 13th (one week prior) so I can give them plenty of notice to make sure we can get tables near each other.
All confirmed, signed sealed and booked for the 45 people above. They won’t accept anymore, so if you haven’t listed your name you’ve missed out!!

See you all there at 7pm

Hey Damian,

I actually forgot to post on this site what I did on our club site. The booking limit is totally out SAU’s control. Cactus Jacks set the limit, if you would like to come I’d encouraged you to make a booking anyway and still come along.

We all won’t be at one table, so it’s not like we’ll be able to mingle during eating anyway, plus im sure a few people will be more then happy to jump onto your table for a chat

This is gonna be wikid niggas!

Ed you skinny fark you better come!! :)

Kate,I'll send you a reminder message :blush:

Josh..... you are important. Yooooooou aaaaaare sooooo beautifullllllll to meeeeeeeeeeeeee

Hey chilli extremists. Just a reminder this is TOMORROW! 7pm sharp.

If we all could give them the courtesy of ordering our own drinks at the bar apposed to via the stuff, it would be much appreciated. They’ll be run off their feet with food orders so if we can make drinks our own reasonability the chance’s of getting our food is much better/quick/

This is gonna be wikid niggas!

Ed you skinny fark you better come!! :)

Kate,I'll send you a reminder message :blush:

Josh..... you are important. Yooooooou aaaaaare sooooo beautifullllllll to meeeeeeeeeeeeee

gimme a face full of boobs baby

You don't like boobs that much do you? Oh god, your standoff-ishness was all just a ruse, nooooooooooooooo!

This is what you're truly like, isn't it!

Yeah he tried the same trick with me, hands like a limpit I tell ya!

Well i rang to make a booking and was told they normally dont do bookings unless there is more than 10 and it is walk in so i guess i will see how i go for a seat :( if not more for drinks and maccas is a 2 min walk away ;)

    • For DBA, check out their guide table here. https://dba.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Direct_Replacement-Guide-2021.2.pdf   Additionally they have some other guides and info on how to make sure you choose the right pad.
    • Sorry, just assumed that talk of coloured pads meant EBC red/green/yellow/shit stuff. I don't know the DBA pads, but it's a reasonable bet that they will be OK. DBA make good stuff generally. Those 4000 series rotors I linked to are very good. I may well replace the RDA rotors I have with those when required.
    • The average previous owner for these cars were basically S-chassis owners in the US. Teenagers or teenager-adjacent. I often tell people that neglect is easier to fix than something that was actively "repaired" by previous owners.
    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
