16km sounds more like it from what i've heard too. The map isnt very helpful liek that

Well, in almost exactly 48 hours ill be lined up at the start about to get very dirty

Any tips of tricks anybdy has heard would be nice. The two things i was told to do were to tape my shoes on, and carry paw paw ointment for irratated skin.

I honestly dont think it was that tough, they talked it up a lot. I rolled my ankle at about the 8km mark I think (at the top of the greased lighting bit) and still managed to finish. Looks like I have broken a bone in my foot so going to get xrays done tomorrow

The electric shock was no worse than someone flicking you.

Still was a lot of fun and will be doing it again, hopefully the Sydney one in September

Unforunetly I only heard about this 2 days before the event from a bloke at gym.

Sounds exactly like the stuff I enjoy, testing/pushing myself etc...

Would be keen for the next one in VIC whenever that is, only thing holding me back is my runnning, at a fast pace I can get 3kms in 12mins then die or 5kms in 25ish miins then die....

but some people say the running is not so bad as when it is a bit busy, you will jog, wait x mins becasue an event is busy, do the event and continue running, so you get that time to catch your breath.

Upperbody stregnth etc would not be an issue.

Birds - if theres one near melb in the future we could do it ? :)

Also, I looked into a few others. I fcking wish we had this here! would be awesome! CLICK ->>>>> http://runforyourlives.com/ http://www.theaustra...o-1226158008430

If you go early, you dont wait for anything. I didnt wait at any obsticle for one second

You dont need to be a strong runner at all to do this, just generally fit and have a good attitude. Because it was very sunny the course was relatively good fun, if you had to do it in the rain and wind, then thats a whole mental aspect that i dont think many people faced this time.

      Rusty roof repair

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.

      I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent.

      Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.

      Rusty roof repair

      By PranK · Posted

      So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
