Me too!

slipping bag hey, limited boot space. how much booze u bringing with ya? couple of kegs.

the cars gota back seat too

1 litre of bourbon and a couple 2 litre bottles of coke zero will have me sorted for 2 nights in a row

taking my laptop and my nextG connection too so i can upload pics of the show to the forum as it happens - i just hope there are enough people taking pictures, as i wont be bringing any fancy cameras (aside from my phone)...

im considering asking my detailer to drive up to loxton the day before so he can detail my car and possibly others - naturally I'd need several people to make it worth his while, and he does full car details for between $50 and $200 depending on how detailed u need it... i'll probably end up driving up friday arvo so i can get there several hours before sundown... maybe have a bbq on the river for anyone else driving up on the friday too

if ur keen on this idea, pm me asap

-D

depends on what he charges I guess.........and unlike a car, probably wouldn't have a set rate me thinks.

i couldnt imagine your bike taking more than an hour to detail

when he did my car last year before the berri show he was at my place at 10am on sunday and left at 4pm and charged $200 and i was very very happy with the blokes work

it depends if u want interior clean, exterior clean, exterior polish, underbody detailing... he doesnt do engine bay details but knows some folks who do... my engine bay aint interesting so i never bothered

-D

I wouldn't worry about my paint cause I can do that in 5 minutes.

The combination of chrome, polished alloy and polished stainless steel is what takes so long so its just one kind of polish that he would use......the hard to get to fiddly bits are what take so long though.

Always a lot quicker when there's 2 or 3 polishing at the same time.......even then would probably take an hour to do it properly.

true, no reason why more than one person can detail a car at a time, would be good to have a pro on side tho, with the right solutions and towels. ill call his this week and see if hes interested

personally, i am of the opinion that whatever has been started, must be finished.

I agree but we can't force anyone to do anything.

If someone has to pick up the slack, I'm as good as anyone. So far after reading thru the thread, it looks like the attendance will be as follows.

How many of you guys have already booked accomodation? I'm sorted at the Hotel and there might be one more room for any stragglers. If you're going up there, please let me know your plans as per Ruby's earlier post :

a) drive up on friday, stay for 2 nights and drive back sun

b) drive up on friday, stay one night, drive back saturday night

c) drive up saturday morning and drive home the same day

I've done C) before but it wasn't as enjoyable as I thought it would be, thats why I'm going for option A).

Got a few organisational questions ; What kind of SAU/SAU-SA motifs have we got? DO we have some kind of gazebo or tent? I'll probably cook brekky for anyone interested on the saturday morning, but you'd have to be up and at em early in the morning

If I get an FM transmitter, how many people would be interested in tuning their cars into the same station and creating a massive, mega, multi car boom box?

-D

dohmar feast ftw, all hail king doh

i aint gota room yet, seen as we all being pussys n not camping

anyone wanna spoon with me?

ok so dion, nightcrawler, sled, myself have got confirmed bookings

anyone else on that list finalized your accomodation? Am curious to see how many people will be staying at the hotel. up a bit from the hotel is the river and no doubt a bbq somewhere, so I'm thinking of kicking a bacon and egg fried brekky. bring your own coronary bypass.

also would like to know how many are keen on getting the detailing done up there...

regarding music, it'll be a family day and we dont want to give the club any bad PR so there won't be any profanity, gangsta rap or death metal... I'd welcome suggestions but I've got a fair idea of what I can do... I know that most people wont be able to pump their stereos all day so I'm thinking a couple hours in the morning and a couple hours in the arvo. I'll bring my battery charger incase anyone goes low but if you dont have a deep cycle battery I wouldnt advise it. We wouldnt have it cranked loud as ew dont want to be obnoxious, but having a few cars in the display playing music would be a great display of coordination.

also, I've been playing around with photoshop, making an a3 plaque of the specifics of my car. here is a very draft mockup...

Anyone else want something similar made up? I'm not sure of printing or framing costs tho

    • 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.
