As per usual the North/West crew will be doing our weekly meet at Baskin & Robbins Chapel Hill, but instead of the usual sit down and eat session, we will instead be cruising to the South (Sunnybank) and going for dinner at a mate's restaurant. This will be followed by a short trek to the carwash for some skin on metal loving.

I'd like to invite any inner wesssayeeders to come along to the meet at Baskin and Robins Indooroopilly (along moggill road, across the road from Shell and Lexus) at about 6:00pm - 6:30pm. If you're down south then you can join us about an hour later around 7:30pm. The restaurant is located on the corner of Warrigal Road and Padstow Road Eight Mile Plains. There's a carpark at the shopping village sorta thing where we can all park.

As per usual, this is a social event, no skids or races. If this format proves popular then we'll look at running it weekly or fortnightly for the pleasurement of West and South people. It gives you a good chance to meet and talk to other large members, although if you run SR20's, fail fitment or lolfag veilside bodykits, we might have a sniggle at your expense.

I'm in!

The meeting spot @ sunnybank will be Corner of Warrigal Road and Padstow Road Eight miles plains!

in the at little complex of food shops there.. looking diagonally over the roundabout will be the BP if that gives you good grounding!

Initial meet will be at Baskin and Robins Indooroopily along moggil road boarder of kenmore across the road from Shell and Lexus! @ 6 - 6.30 pm

o.O You should come to the south side more often! I dont know which restaurant we're going to though. The only place I've been to at that place is "Shiok", which is a Malaysian/Singaporean restaurant.

Well ...........

My maiden voyage to meet you all ended in many swear words and tears tonight! lol :)

Dont think i was a no show ........

My night began at 5pm when i left North Lakes. I gave myself plenty of time, well thats what i thought! I kid you not, it took me 2 hours, thats right, 2 hours of clawing my way through traffic to get over to you all. I keep on my merry way but obviously assumed you had all gone by now. I finally round the bend with baskins in sight only to miss the turn cause i havent been there before. This was now about 7 pm. So as im stuffing around figuring out what im gonna do, i see what i assume to be you all, about 4 or so cars pulling out at the lights! OMG i yelled they are still here!

Im still stuck trying to turn around and by the time i did, you had all sped off into the night! So by now my blood pressure is through the roof and i aint a happy camper. I had no chance of finding you all now. lol lol So i had a moment, and then began my treck back to the norhtside which took me another hour to get home!

I hope you all had a great night, maybe next time :)

that sucks... you missed an epic night of ghetto mechanics. lol

we're off to the carwash in a few mins tho for the punters that are still interested.

    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
    • The video for the servicing and fuel filter change can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44 One of the main jobs I wanted to do before the car officially went on the road, was to remove the awful looking blue silicone hoses. There's nothing wrong with having coloured silicone hoses, but I realise as I'm getting older I prefer monotone engine bays with a splash of colour on the engine cover(s). I cover this in a lot more detail in the Youtube video, so unfortunately there's limited photos of the process. The intercooler, upper radiator, boost vacuum and upper breather hoses were all changed to black silicone with mikalor clamps. The only blue left is a blanking cap at the back of the inlet manifold and the GReddy pulleys (which will be replaced for stock when the cambelt gets replaced) While the intercooler pipes were off I gave them a quick clean/polish too A before photo I do have a replacement air filter on its way. Fuse box covers were painted blue, they're now satin black Another job on the list while the bumper was off, is to add some mesh https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737966256_99b28bfa30_c.jpg[/img] I was hoping to use some thin wire to secure it, but it seems I've misplaced it and the wire I had was too thick to twist easily. I ended up using cable ties for the time being https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737131882_c2b7989dcc_c.jpg[/img] Was pleasant to see this https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737131627_8b2aab13b3_c.jpg[/img] The last thing to do was to fix the front grill and re-mesh that to match but I ran out of time The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4FsF6tgizE&t=23s
