i saw you leaving on thursday. was doing my first run to the new place when i saw your car traveling up Kircaldy st. (spelling?)

either way, ill be there this week.

Cruise today was sweet!! thanks Chris :thumbsup:

any chance of moving this meet to another night in the week? Thursday is late night shopping but Thursdays are really becoming a challenge for me. Thoughts, Comments?

Also hows the new place going Bodo?

in that case Ash i must live round the corner from you now.

Thursday is a good general day i think. any other day is just too early in the week for me :(

and the new place is good thanks for asking. a bit of a scattered mess still downstairs, but room for the Lispy (yes my liner has a name, give to it my the little lady). upstairs is all sorted, still gotta get internets sorted, lucky i got the dongle still atm.

got the engine back for my girls Beetle, will spend the next few arvos getting it bolted together and back in. as soon as its home and sorted i will sort out downstairs. its a good work space down there :thumbsup:

all good, was just ralf and i last night anyways.

sry, no idea what the address is exactly Chris. but its on bribie island road, just before Ningi. There is a big round about at the end of the 2 lane 100km/h zone. Basically as long as you take the Bribie turnoff and head towards Bribie, you cant miss it :)

Corner of Caboolture-Bribie Island Rd. and Bestman road Ningi. Google maps says 20km off the highway. didnt think it was that far, as it doesnt seem to take long.

Dunno if im barging in on anything, but i've had a 32 gtst for a few months now... Keen to cruise with the locals as im in Rothwell....

On a brighter note, I was in Peninsula paint today n "saved" some poor sod who thought he blew his turbo on a twin turbo supra.... Turns out he should check his intercooler piping more often.. Fished out the slipped hose clamp and with a trusty 10mm I never go anywhere without, saved him a trip to the workshop. Wish all my mechanical problems were that cheap or easy :)

Im Troy by the way. If anyone filled up at the caltex on deception bay road just up from the rothwell roundabout, chances are we've already met

Hi Troy ,

Your More than welcome to come and join in the fun, We are trying to get a group of owners together so that we can do northern cruises and such.

I think beefies might be a bust due to it closing at 6pm. we could always do curry on bribie it's self or subway.

Meeting at the northbound BP on the hightway (just after the first morayfield exit) at 7pm and moving off at about 7:15 we will make our way over to bribie and proceedd to: insert Location here.

the drive to bribie is one of the best local drives we can go for, please feel free to look online and find a suitable venue to grab a feed at.

Howdy Troy, and by all means join us.

i didnt think of that they might close that early. I' not much of a fan of bribie itself for driving. painfully slow and a tad dangerous with random drivers..........brain storm time. gotta figure out somewhere tho

    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
    • Neg, the top one is actually for the front. The sizes are 18x10.5 +18 and 18x11 +32.   I measured many times but I'm sure I'll have problems as this is the thread for problems.
    • Just one thing; tapping tapered threads is tricky. Taps are always tapered and you would generally run it as far as you can, but with a tapered thread you have to stop much sooner otherwise the wide part of the taper will run in too far and you will have to thread the sensor in too far too as well (possible that it will never make a good seal) BTW nice wide wheels, I guess the top one is for the back!
    • Welp, good to know. Will have to wait awhile until steady hands with drills and taps are available. In other news, these just arrived! I will weigh them for posterity. Edit: 11kg each (or 10.9/11.1 depending on what my scale decides over multiple tests, the 18x11 don't seem to weigh noticeably any more than 10.5)
