Who's car are you crashing this time?

Fixed that for ya Kez.

Ha ha. Yep! Long time coming.

Having a baby and doing an engine will delay things a bit....

Now to finish the oil cooler plumbing and do some testing before DECA. otherwise I'll be using the wife's mx5.

Deca is good for testing. If you can drive it around a car park you can drive it at deca haha. Sort of...

Ahem... Yes... Testing around a car park.... Thats what I was gonna do ?

Wayne I'm bringing a few friends down but not sure how many, I will make them do some work, how many do we need for the day to go ahead?

As many as I can. It's mainly the morning I need a hand with.

Cheers..

Then I'll bring the cousins

Awesome, they'll love it, its closer to the action than just standing around doing nothing while you drive :D If you can give Wayne a head count in the Volunteers thread, then he can assign them a spot :)

OK, did the oil cooler plumbing. all good.

Found a piece of cast aluminium that had broken off the engine somewhere - WTF? Discover the screaming fan belt is actually the water pump broken and lost a piece (but no leaks!)! New part ordered and on the way. SO, cutting things fine for DECA with the barge.

Can I just swap cars over at the last minute? I might need to use either the MX5 or new Focus ST...

I really can't confirm numbers now but I'll make sure and let u guys know!

Also how many tyres should I bring (na r33)

skidpan is smooth concrete, doesn't chew tyres up unless you sit on the limiter in 2nd or 3rd for 3 minutes lol

sprint runs are like road surface, no burnouts/drifting you'll be right, but if you bake your tyres and they'll chew out quick haha

if you wanna be super super safe bring 2 spare

I normally bring a second set up for the rears, just in case I get a bit too happy on the day, I'll still have something safe to drive home to melbourne on :)

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
