h'ok people. im doing a shoot with a mate tomorrow (as in, monday), were thinking of something industrial,

so i need ideas/locations of abandoned/disused industrial sites or similiar that are relatively easy to access and mostly free from security. the only ones i can think of are either long gone, overused, or just plain boring.

so, anyone?

try port adelaide woolshed areas : ie: Crozier st

or

Paracombe cold stores on Paracombe road,

Get into the old clipsal premises?

or the carpark of 101 Cavan road. its the back of the Gerard factories. gates should be open 7-6

they are my best ideas for 8am

lol. dont like my chances of fitting that under my guards.

this is a 10 +12 on the front;

and rear;

looks good, but utterly useless. rear guards were sitting properly on the tyre, i had to jack it up to get the card in there.

ill probably go for 9 +15 all round, gives me an extra 10mm or so of clearance all round to play with the alignment (ie, less camber)

Weak as, S14s have huge guards. The pic of your fronts is nearly spot on, just needs less tyre.

Yeah, thought I saw some dude on ns running 18x10+12 AVS Model 5's with a 235/40 all round a like 0 camber with a slight roll on the guards. Looked mint

does anyone down south have a heat gun i can borrow for an hour or so?

gotta finish pulling off that bluey green pin stripping on the side of the car.

cheers

use wax and grease remover, soak it on a rag they come right off , then rewax the car

heat gun can bubbles your paint off

Had a good laugh about 10 minutes ago. Not really funny, but the circumstances leading up to it ... and the karma ... was definitely funny.

Had some mid 40yo guy in a new BMW 650 'supercar' trying to encourage me to race him just on the southern side of the city. Had some bimbo blonde in the passenger seat, and he had the whole 'chewing gum' thing going on. First set of lights I pull up next to him, he takes a long hard stare, then when the lights go green he rockets off occupying both lanes and breaking the speed limit easily. Next set of lights, again I pull up next to him, and he's now trashing my car in front of the bimbo, using words like "hoon" and "jap crap". Lights go green and again he rockets off, and I cruise off again obeying the speed limit. Next set of lights I'm next to him again (why the rush? lol) and this time he's creeping the car forward in 'hop' motions and staring at me. Then the lights for cars to turn right only go green, but he rockets off ... straight into a Falcon! 'Bang' ... sucked in!

I cruised around the crash and pull over. I'm giving my details to the innocent party for their claim, whilst laughing at the BMW (small dick) idiot the whole time. He is a mix of embarassment and anger (prob at me laughing at him). It was with great pleasure I say to him "So who's the hoon?" before walking back to my car and driving off! Classic karma!

Ahhh poetic justice. I wish I could have seen it ;D

Mate, words cannot describe how f**king hilarious it was. I couldn't stop laughing. Still chuckling now. Explained to the guy who got hit, why I was laughing, and he agreed "so it was karma then eh? Too bad I got in his way". Yeah too bad for him, but his car is still driveable I'm sure ... the BMW was leaking coolant all over the place. :(

    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
