BEEN THERE ... DONE THAT... Add 30kg+ of gear on your shoulders, 1200 rounds, light machine gun, spare barrels and all the crap ..... and not just in this country...... most leaches in one river crossing to date is 16.

lol @ Steve, spoken like someone who HAS experienced the "fun", & then 1/2 saw the light. Nearly there mate, another uniform swap and you'll be laughin' :P

Like Steve I too have played the games in snake's sig' (thankfully not as often as what Steve has) it's 1 minute of fun..... followed by a wk of shite! 2mins / 2wks & so on...

Think of it as if you were playing paint ball for a wk straight.... with no sleep & feeling sick as a dog, covered in shite, sweaty, wet.... ahh huge fun... NOT.

Edit: and no where NEAR the amount Snake has, thankfully! 15+yrs and MANY o/seas visits, most of them in luxury compared to Snake. Not all though, I've had my share of "fun".

Eating out of tin cans for weeks, cant forget that one, then there is the joy of wearing one set of clothes for a few weeks or more. Washing with a damp cloth and if you do get sleep, being woken half way through for an hour or two to make sure the bad guys dont get you, or some dill treading on you cos he isnt looking where he is walking, being eaten by insects, hmm water proof toilet paper, having to burst blisters and fill them with iodine, I could go on for ever:):D all good fun, thank god I was in armoured though, at least we got to drive most places.

Yeah, you RAAFies do it tough, I bet they even made you stay in 4 star accomodation when you were in Hawaii once eh Matt? or was that the UK? :D:D definately the only way to go.

Why yes old chap once in a while we did have to slum it out in less than 5 star hotels, shocking I know! You'd think the least they could do if we we're having to put up with going to war is give us decent lodgings. I mean can you imagine only having one waiter per table!!!! I was shocked. Worse still was having to drink tap water, rather than our usual Evian. :D

HAhah, i dont think u guys have the slightest clue wat u r goin on about. ive played heaps of video games and can tell u being in the army is the most fun u can have on ur legs.

LOL at matts comments, poor bloke, did u have to go thru treatment for the harsh conditions u endured?

On an unrelated note, matt ur avatar pic is sik!

Ex armour hey steve ...... leopards? ....aslavs?.......Bradleys? Yes i will agree with you steve, the list of "fun" never ends... and just when you think its all good the brass find another way to dick you around or shaft you.

LOL at matts comments, poor bloke, did u have to go thru treatment for the harsh conditions u endured?

I tell ya' Dean, it took quite a few sessions with the therapist to get over the harsh conditions of low grade 4 star hotels. :rolleyes:

Thanks dude. Yeah the Fullboost guys/girls are to thank for the avatar piccy, was hoping for more than one shot from the Nat's, but I'm happy with the pic they did take :P

im sorry to say that my car wont be spotted in SA anymore. We did the drive to Sydney, all was well, not even one stonechip or speeding fine! I used 3M contact adhesive all over the front bar, and end of bonnet.

NSW members, sorry to say, but it really sucks to drive around here, so much bloody traffic, so inconvenient to cruise anywhere!!! I miss little adelaide already. If i dont end up using the fly much it will be coming back to adelaide for holiday use!

And damn its easy to get used to power. Already planning to highflow the 2530 and injectors are in the mail!!

    • 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.
