The little voice in my head... oh wait, that's the 2 week old baby screaming :(

ahaha's ! lol

how's it all going????

good luck on pickup, going to be a good fun trip :)

I still remember the day I grabbed mine, flew to brissy, got picked up, test drove, did a deal, dropped car off at freighters (following sellers dad in crazy mx5 slip-thru-traffic style; he was showing off, almost had an accident & fight at lights, then congratulated me on keeping up - LOL), taxi to airport then home. week later got the car from the freighters.

would have prefered to drive the car home but knees, room etc (since extended the seat rails)

best of luck

oh and to nick too ^^ lol our 5yr old is a terror atm but the 3yr old is a cutie :laugh: fun fun

It cost me over $50 just to get from the domestic airport to the city (Wynyard) but that was during peak hour. It'll be another $20 from City to Lane Cove. But if it's the weekend that you're going, it'll be much quicker and cheaper. Don't forget if you catch a taxi you're slugged the bridge toll too. Catch a train will be about $15 each (Chris is going too yeah?) But a cab would be about I'm guessing $50 to LAne Cove. In saying that, whereis.com staes it's only a 19min drive from Syd Domestic Airport to Lane Cove. Seems a bit quick.

Yeah, wish I could go too!

umm, yeah but wynyard is in the heart of the city.

lane cove is a drive from the airport thru the harbour tunnel and out to lane cove with very few stops (if any) till you get to lane cove. any time that is off peak will be a pretty quick ride. as long as you avoid the afternoon peak it will be a snip.

they can go cutesy and take you out via victoria rd and avoid a toll but probably add another $5-10 for the time sitting in traffic.

hey brendon, yeah it all went well, both bub and mrs are well. The 3 yr old isn't too impressed everyones attention has shifted away from her ofcourse.

Adam, maybe it is quite a bit cheaper then what i was thinking. If you have gear to lug around as well, and you're travelling on a Sunday probably cabbing it would be your best bet. Just don't lose your license on the drive back now!

Nope, Nick, if you're using the Harbour Bridge to head North out of the city towards Lane Cove, then you wouldn't normally have to pay the toll for the bridge, so you shouldn't have to pay it for the taxi either.

BUT, if you use the Harbour Tunnel instead of the Harbour Bridge, then IIRC the charge works both ways, but as Andrew says, off-peak is a pretty quick trip, either way. And it's best to ensure they DON'T use Victoria Road, as any money saved on the tolls you would have paid would not make up for the time you've lost.

That's right. But I thought you had to pay for them to come back over the bridge? The "Return Toll" as stated on this link. (http://www.transport.nsw.gov.au/taxi/fares.html)

It'll cost you about $50-$60 i reckon. Can we place bets?? :P

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By Duncan · Posted

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.

      Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
