we won "organizer's choice"

which probably had a lot more to do with Hank blatantly bribing the officials with delicious bbq than anything else

no idea where we were at the end, but that isn't really the point of lemons

Hence the team that re-entered their silvia, fitted with a not-very-fresh RD28

Dale! Angie sent me a bunch of pics from the weekend, I'll get them through to you.

Yeah, I agree, I think we won on our epic BBQ - Dale even got a fkn medal!!!

I think overall (laps wise) we came around the 5th mark.

Plans are already a foot for nect year, Dale is even going to help drive!

Update on car: 
It's blowing Fuel Pump fuses like a mother, got it booked it to get towed to C-Red for an investigation. 

Then it *might* head to the body shop.

Good luck! Hopefully it's an easy fix.


Speaking of car dramas...

So I'm trying to buy parts for my Humvee. Found a bloke in America with what I want at great prices. He says he won't ship overseas and I tell him that parts only need to go to Texas. He's happy with that and keeps talking to me.

We finalise the order and agree on the price and shipping. I ask how to pay, he says he doesn't use Paypal (maybe because of their fees or he's old, I don't know), so he says I can pay with a cheque or money order. Well mate, I'm in Australia I can't send you a fkn cheque can I? I ask about the money order, I ask if that means sending the money directly to his bank account which I've done previously for parts in America, it's fairly straight forward. Apparently not! Now he won't accept overseas payments...

So apparently I have to get my mate in Texas to send him a fkn cheque (then I pay my mate obviously) before he sends parts.

Geez! If you didn't wanna' sell me shit in the 1st place, just say so! It's a $765 USD order, why wouldn't you want it!?

Meanwhile I bought my Smart Start through someone else via paypal this morning and it gets shipped tomorrow lol.

Hopefully they can fix it without bleeding you dry!

    • 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 have the 2025 build re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I quite rate them for street wet and dry
    • 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.
    • 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.
