Yep, those who were there yesterday would know that it's just as much fun to skid and slide in the rain!

If you weren't there yesterday, why not??? It's an awesome day, so make sure you get yourself down to our next ones when they are announced. post-435-13950440857651_thumb.jpgpost-435-13950440993428_thumb.jpg

I've decided that next time I get to do timing, it's only fair that all FWD cars get an Instant Wrong Direction penalty.


Your power goes the wrong end of the car. Obvious penalty if obvious.

2nd'd with the clean up, it got smashed, heaps of hands make light work :yes::yes:

photos will be inc soon

I called up Yesterday 8.30 am and Margaret a spokesperson was asked a leading question as to whether CAFE2U had a policy about what happens if their primary van operator is sick, that a backup operator takes his/her place? She said, "Most definitely."

I said, "Well the system broke down yesterday (Sunday)!!!"

I added, "Not only did he not turn up, he also never call for backup, he also had the temerity to suggest we were only worth 1 hour's work and he was thinking of serving us whilst on cold n flu tablets. I'm a pharmacist and you never ever serve food n drink whilst flu is still virulent! "

After 9am the manager Karen called me and stated beyond her profuse apology that this will never happen again under her watch.

We'll see next month. At least the lady operator has already called up to confirm. I did issue a warning to Karen that a Plan B must always be in place.

MMmmm.. I didn't actually know there would be coffee, so I brought my usual Thermos of black gold =-D

Cafe2U is a franchise, so there is no benefit to the sick guy to make any effort to cover his rounds... he probably can't even get in trouble!

I suggest we try and replace Cafe2U with Harry's Cafe de Wheels... so I can get a fancy hotdog. ;o)

Hmm i might be responsible for most of the rubber left on the strip (R34 4dr), as i remember some of the guys telling me i had flicked rubber everywhere, coupled with some incriminating photos of my shredded tyres =/

Thanks to the organisers and those who stayed to clean up.

Overall, it was a great day. I'm looking forward to seeing the video.

Great photos as well.

      R33 suspension bushes replacement, what wears the most?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Nothing wears "the most". Different cars will always show signs in a different place. 114000 km is either nothing at all (as in, given the calendar age, nearly brand new) or it's completely unbelievable. We stopped believing numbers like that about 15 years ago. Having said that, my car is up around 270000 km and I have put bushes into some places** as many as 10 times in >25 years that I've owned it. ** FUCAs, which are different on an R32 than on a 33, so not likely to be the same issue for you. I have original ball joints all the way around. They are perfectly fine. Same with the spindle bearings in the front. Tie rod ends have all been done at least once though. Pretty much every other bush in the car has been done at least twice. Some of those in the first 100000km after I got it (which was at a genuine 23000!). Some of those bushes are now sphericals, and they are on a <cough> regular maintenance schedule, hence why my FUCAs have been rebuilt so many times. Half of those 10 in the count above would be in the last few years! 'twere I you, I would budget on replacing everything, for fun and prevention. If they really are 30 year old rubber, they will all be unpleasantly aged in one way or another. Whether that's corrosion of shells, or the rubber cracking, or sagging under the load, etc etc.

      By robbo_rb180 · Posted

      Do them as you'll find when you remove them they are perished/dried.    Its probably one of the best things to do as makes the car so much more responsive. Do ball joints while there too.

      R33 suspension bushes replacement, what wears the most?

      By RB335 · Posted

      Hi All Got an R33, about 114,000km on the clock.  Handles very nice, no signs of issues.    Engine is out and i'm doing an underbody refresh, mainly painting subframe, cosmetics etc. Can't see anything physically giving play, but I'm wondering which bushes are the ones that wear the most, or the first ones that may give problems down the track? For good measure I'm thinking to fit new ones. Thanks
