hmm well i expected about 8 last time and there was 17, wonder how many will be coming this time :)

all you bloody non posters :P

Not sure how many but rang the pub today and booked lunch for 12.30 for 20 people

Told them I would ring Sunday morning if there was more

Oh and kinda on topic but I'm kinda have to go for a drive to Scone after lunch on Sunday then turn right and go 50 odd klms out to a place called Moona Flats via Gundy

Got back to work this arvo and noticed one of the tailgates on the truck missing. Rang the manager in Sydney and he said its way better and cheaper if I go find it as they cost a fortune.

Last time one was lost in the blue mountains and they sent three guys out in a truck till they found it and was still cheaper than a replacement, apparently the firm that made the body's has a licence on the design or some such and charge a fortune for replacement bits like tailgates and side gates etc

haha wow that sucks martin! you have 50kms to look for a tiny little light thats probably smashed on the road? f**kin buy something and dodgy it up!

haha oh chookie you knob!

The tyre fitters are going to hate you Chookie

Jarred it's the tailgate not the light

A steel gate about 900mm square with some mesh

I could knock up a new one for $50 bucks but work wants me to find it and I'm curious as to where it is as I'm sure it was still there when I stopped at Aberdeen on the way back

tyre fitters never like me, i use to hate them cause i couldnt get the car on the wheel alignment machine

guess we have a love hate relationship

now to go beg the guys to fit these when they arrive lol

we should all follow you martin, extra eyes are always helpful :D

Still working on that plan man! Ideally yes, so we dont have to bother anyone else....... Just waiting on the crazy asian to answer if he is coming or not!

lenny bringing the evo ive heard so much about?

i will be bringing my camera again, so if anyone wants some shots of their car just let me know...

can maybe organise a group shot somewhere too?..

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
