My mum told me to f**k off 10 years ago, Haven't made contact with each other in that time. I'm happy with how my life is atm so no point changing anything.

If you want to try and see ya dad then give it a go.

As the title of the photo suggest it is a Mazda Roadpacer. Yes believe it or not, they made Kingswoods here and shipped them to Japan where they fitted 12A rotaries ....stupidest move ever, but they are worth a mint if you could find an original one.

He may be at a point where he is too embaressed to contact you Craig,

Just do it man - You don't have to be 'happy family' with him - but atleast you will have no regrets in formally meeting your blood father. Imo you got nothing to loose and everything to gain in just 'meeting him'. Like I said, you don't need to be happy family but atleast give it a go.

very solid advice IMHO...goodluck with it Craig

I've heard of the kingsy with a 12A in them,

Imagine that tourqueless poor little 12A trying to tug along a frame of a kingswood lol

theres a couple of jackie chan movies from the early 90s/late 80s that has a bunch of kingswoods in them... i pissed myself laughing when i saw them in a 'high speed chase' (well actually the coke came out thru my nose but u get the idea)

-D

yeah, seeing as i have found the right staircase to climb (so to speak)

ill just stand here for a while and think about what im gonna say etc etc

ill get there, just a few other things i gotta concentrate on atm

lol Cheers guys,

Its sure is coming along slowly. Basically once my mate has done all the welding its time to get it rolling for Lance walker to make up a sick roll cage for it, then onto paint.

Main parts now is coilovers, brakes and dog box, then possibly a cf tailshaft, billet driveshafts, then focus on interior.

Answer my PM on NS, f4g!

yeah, you never know mate, he could be scared or too embarrassed to make the 1st move......who knows? :cool:

Don't put it off for too long though cause I buried my Dad 4 days ago and you don't ever want to leave things unsaid or unresolved.

My eyes water and my nose burns so hard when that happens, piss funny!

    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
    • There's not a great deal to report here .... except ...... FOR .... LSD!!!  I bought a Quaife LSD from the UK and shipped it here .... Wish I'd just bought locally cause the shipping and duty was $700! But there were so many diffs used in the E90s I just wanted to be absolutely certain I was getting the right one so I spoke with a supplier in the UK who builds race cars and they have heaps of experience with the E90s.  I pulled the diff out which was seriously awesome - I've never done anything like that before, I must have watched 1000 videos on YT about it as well as consulting the Bentley manual. It was super easy in the end. The diff was delivered to the awesome folks at Hornsby Diffs and will be back in a few weeks. I also replaced the diff bushings with some Nolathane ones.  Really looking forward to getting it back and getting back to the track or even the skidpan.
    • yeah... the 13kg/mm springs weren't always in there, I had 10kg/mm but doing a few SMSP commanded heavier front springs. It's so good now going into T1 and T2, just need more seat time and real tyres.
    • Yes, well. Mine are less than half that. ARBs are not set to "dumb" either.
    • I would hope. But, we all know even the best companies have an issue sporadically.
