Ah man but you'll get to drive around in an Evo soon yeh?

Yes and No.

Depends on when a good car comes up and if I can get it at the right price.

Always a poor showing from us ;)

So poor, even when people have expressed interest to do something on the weekend, nothing happens :P

We need your guidance our Great Leader :worship:

I advise we all pack up and move to coastal areas where the car scene is still strong! Sure they've pretty much killed it off in the retirement village of a town we live in a.k.a Toowoomba but I know for a fact she's pretty strong / unchanged in other areas with shitloads of day/night cruises and meets every month! Some of the coastal/interstate fellas on my facebook do runs and meets in their liners every week!

Need to move there peeps....that's what I'm doing. You can come back to Toowoomba when you're ready to die / chase kids of your front lawn :P

Toowoomba could have a good scene if we were motivated enough to do cruises

Ah Chris, I've talked to a couple peeps about it and what it boils down to is that the guys are just too scared to take their cars out around here. You see all these nice rides during rush hour but t-bar is pretty much dead on a sunday afternoon these days (where a couple years ago there would have been plenty of JDM and american/italian muscle out and about. They're scared about driving around in a convoy and even more nervous about hard parking. It's sad hey?

I wish things were different.

On the plus side though I did get my wheels done so now she has 4 glossy black shoes! Now we just need to spray the Silvia black and then it's photoshoot time if anyones keen for a bit of a pose ;)

Might be getting a professional photographer later in the year too (speaking of photos)...some of ya's might be up for a groupie! He's that Hackenberg guy / NPHO on facebook. Killer photos!

Conversely, stories of the 5oh being tougher on simple things like front mounts, bov's and pod filters in brissy/GC, are well versed. I am sure there would be contingent in these areas that feel just as paranoid as you do, Tom.

I went for a nice putt on Sunday arvo (cause nothing happened :P) and don't recall seeing one cop car and have never had a drama with them for a long while.

I used to go everywhere in the old girl and only got pulled over once in 4 years here in tbar.

That was for suspected BOV cos he heard the flutter. They were nice and let me go shortly after a visual check.

Don't be an arse and don't do silly things = no trouble from nobody :)

BTW, saw the Clint mobile going down Hume bout 5pm today. Just turned onto Hume from Margaret in the "new old girl".

Looked very clean and understated...just the way you'd want it to be these days for all you paranoid peeps LOL

Going to scope out 3 evos in Bris tomorrow. Hope they live up to expectations :thumbsup:

    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
