i spent 1000 on my tools at work and got given 1400 bucks worth from the government for being an apprentice, wtf do you need so many tools for??

yeah, the government grants came into effect when I was in my 3rd yr.

no tool grants.

no rta allowances.

I was one of the last who done it tough.

had no missus and didn't go out.

thought tools were a wiser investment than wasting in a car.

I was right, been through about 6-10 cars since, still have the tools.

and so many tools, to make life easier.

instead of doing things the hard way, the right tool can make a big difference.

ant dawg shreading shit up!!

everyone must get one of these!! so much fun!!

ive seen big guys on these things to if certain people are worried.

60 bucks from kmart but stock wheels are shit so i got green machine ones for another 30 bucks which should last longer.

Which Kmart?

If they is that cheap I'm getting me one ASAP

What sort of brakes do they have?

Oh and Senic drive Merewether or Yule road or Mermorial drive Bar Beach or King Edward Park for down hill skids

waratah had 5 on friday and i got 1 of them.

might have to wait till next week or just shop around for the better "green machine" tyres cause 2 kmarts didnt have them in so i got the last 2 from toys r us.

there could be other costs like the seat may break after time, but if you got a school seat and bolted that on itd be sweet, and if you want to get real good all the 80km/h guys get pumped up tyres and put pvc pipe over them and bearings and bigger axles etc, but i cant see anything being expensive to fix/dodgy up

oh and brakes is just the 2 pads on the rim like a bicycle, not heaps good, i just tightened mine though and its MUCH better.

but think about it, its only metal and bicycle parts, everything is cheap and easy

haha and right on queue, was out the front of mine on the thin foot path for a bit more of a slope, drifted round a corner and didnt go round hard enough, hit the raised grass and it tried to throw me out, heard a slight crack,

seat has a small crack in it now which will probably get bigger haha, anyone good with fibre glass? thinking of just reinforcing this one cause its pretty comfy.

and mounting it a bit better.

may have to start a build thread hahahahahahahhaha

J-Rad I think I still got some fibreglass stuff here in the shed if you want that

The other thing you can do is go to Withworths or Bias and get a fibreglass repair kit, just make sure you get some 400gsm matting as the 200gsm is crap and a waste of time. As for making it stronger some plywood or always works well but fibreglassing is piss easy just have to mix the resin and catalyst in the correct ratio

thinking of getting a school seat now, just cause the stock seat is flimsy. though school seat will look cheap haha.

I will be disapointed if u dont get a bucket seat of some sort and mount it to it, just saying.

Hahaha yeah monthly pays would suck balls

Fortnightly I could live with

And yes a little short this week but not from holidays which rocked but the new company that does the pays at the hospital have f**ked up Melisas pay yet again and not paid her for 32 hours from the last fortnight

And don't even start me on the sick leave and annual leave fiasco the hospital has created.

its not that bad, i get fortnightly pay n sorta cope :P

also finally my coilovers are in australia, in customs now should be here this week :D

Nice one, my car is booked in for Saturday to get my coilovers fitted... Anyone keen for a cruise sat Arvo ha

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • 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!
