Yeh that was probably one of the best runs yet...definitely the best way to spend a Sunday arvo before it all starts again on Monday!

Well I need to let the ol' 26 out for a run at least once a fortnight haha....can't have it all gumming up on me now with my 3 minute work trips =/

You'll have to get your rear end fixed for next time MeLar ;)

Awesome time boys. Loved every minute of it!

Great chat, great food - talk about cheap and cheerful.

Would love to go bowling or mini golf LOL

I suck terribly at both so would be great for me to come out and give you guys a few pointers :P

In other news, the rear end is the least of my problems. The car was overheating on the way home. Needed some lovely aircon and nekminnit the gauge started climbing slowly. Reached the 3/4 mark just below the big "H" as I drove into the garage...watched it like a hawk the whole way home I did too.

Sooooooooo.....next cruise, if the old girl's not up to the task, I'll be in the Caldina but will have to hitch a ride in one of the 'lines. Wife has banned me easing it down mountain passes ;)

Where's a good place to meet and cruise from? Plan on getting there around 10 I reckon.Definitely want to be there for the Miss Powerplay judging. :3some:

Haha well im heading down with a few mate, so i was going to meet up with the tbar boys around gatton... If they end up coming.

Well what a crazy few days weather wise. Was locked up inside all of Saturday and Sunday so just had to get out of the house today. I lost power twice over the weekend but I was/am lucky compared to Me_Larr and sonnyQ. Tommis85 what are you going to do now the seas have subsided? Captain Natro did you get the hatsu out from it's bogged location? The daily wouldn't start this morning, but have had the battery on charge and hopefully a bit of dry weather overnight and tomorrow to let the old girl dry out a bit and hopefully she will start

Power came back on late arvo today guys. Rain also stopped for now so I don't have to sleep with a mop and bucket/oil pan in my arms.

Thanks for dropping by, Chris. Good chat :)

Apart from my struggles, I've got some good news to share. Picked up the old girl now equipped with a big F**k O** Koyo rad and new thermostat.

Now all I need is a 40degree day + aircon + stop-start traffic/spirited driving to see if that done the trick.

Just need to fix the rear end alignment issues and I "should" fall in love with her again.

    • I've searched fairly extensively among Japanese websites but found nothing really like those skirts in your photo. The closest I got was Origin Labo side skirts however they look more 'complete' in that they have a finishing piece or tab at the rear of the skirt so it blends into the bodywork, unlike the one in your pic. For that reason I'd say the skirts in your pic could be adapted from another car and they didn't include that tab piece, or those skirts aren't copied from an existing skirt but an original design. Sorry I can't help out in regard to ID'ing/sourcing them
    • Wonder if JB Weld sponsored the event lol
    • There's a big difference between a car built with millions of dollars in R&D, and someone like yourself taking a normal sporty road car, and making it 5 times more powerful. At the same time, get a modern sports car, and you can turn them up towards the 1000hp mark a lot easier too. Also, give that Lambo another 20 odd runs, and chances are it too may break something.
    • There isn’t really a cheap upgrade here. If someone made a decent, bolt in 6 speed that holds some grunt, it would do very well. The 5 speeds suck. You can put a - OSG 5 speed gear set into it. Ratios are tall so it zaps the “zing” out of it. Had one, busted it. - PPG 5 speed gear set synchro or dog’s. Ratios are even taller. - An overpriced Getrag. Nice to drive, expensive to source now. - A sequential of some sort. Expensive, very expensive. How many times do you pop a 5 speed before you throw the toys out of the cot?  
    • Yes, fair call. I don't have any special love for super/hyper cars but it was impressive to watch the Lambo line up against successive skylines without any problem at all.
