im still in. so BP's southbound at 7. then head to carseldine from there :) even if chris isnt joining us, im keen for at least a small drive :thumbsup:

sounds good Joe, look forward to fiddling a kit out of it, im sure all the parts are generic enough and can be persuaded into place and shape. if they are steel i can weld that too.

I 'should' be at the bp at 7, however,

Im being pushed by my contractor to get ahead of my current list (clients web site) because i will be netless for a few days. So depending on how im going will depend on my rocking up :P

FMIC - no stock, coming from 'japan', not happy about waiting, and the fact that they have 9 in stock according to ebay. I will be asking for free stickers!!!!

not good, should have told you before buying it, that way you would have had a heads up, should ask for a discount.

oh also, managed to source out a set of 18" rims, very much like what i used to have on the little beast, just need to save up for it (blokes being nice and is willing to wait for me to save it up).

anyone know much about BBS rims?

fark......

i wont be coming either.....very late notice. but the better half has been doing very poorly of late and i kinda need to stay home. shes been home for almost 3 weeks now....and still no answers as to whats wrong.

just thought i'd let you lads all know, took my 32 out willowbank last night. Did an 11.4 @ 123mph. Still a little more left in the current tune, spun a decent amount off the line still.

For those of you who don't know, its 040LAH.. the white 32 from the happy laps on the weekend.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
