Hey evry1: I'm back to needing a leader on the day
Directions from Thornleigh Maccas:

* Head Sth along 'Pennant Hills Rd' until you get to 'James Ruse Dr'.

* Turn Left onto 'James Ruse Dr' (think the sign says parramatta or something).

* Stay in the left lane and follow the signs to Penrith which is right before Parramatta Rd (you turn off left even though Penrith is to the right).

* This will bring you onto the M4 which you then follow all the way to 'Mulgoa Rd' (about 25-30km).

* Take the 2nd Penrith Exit (Mulgoa Rd) and when you get to the exit ramp lights turn right onto 'Mulgoa Rd' (has signs for Panthers). Construction around the Eastern Creek area so watch for changing speed limit signs.

* Drive along Mulgoa Rd (about 2km), you will go past a shell, Burger King, Caltex, DickSmith, Bus Depot, etc keeping in the left lane.

* Stay in the left lane, when you get to the round-about continue straight ahead.

* About 50m after the round-about you will see the KFC, Krispy Kreme and Maccas signs on the left, turn left at the lights.

* This will bring you into the Panthers entry road, the first drive-way to the left is for Maccas carpark, 2nd is for KFC, Lone Star, Krispy Kreme etc. Continue 20m further ahead and turn left at the round-about.

* This will take you 20m down along side the KK drive-thru road, just park down on the left.

Panthers Security is generally fine if you don't leave a big mess, don't look like your gonna roll someone and aren't playing music loud, don't do anything stupid as the entire carpark is under video surveillence.

Plenty of seating inside KK or just outside. Carpark car security is perfectly fine.

Edit: By the time you all get there Panthers (the leagues club) will be quite happening on the inside, well worth a visit. You can wear pretty much anything but thongs and beanies, or if you are female, pretty much nothing at all :boobies2:

And also is anyone planning to go somewhere after for a drive, cos i wouldn't mind going for a cruise.

Cheers.

Thier is a nice look out just up the mountains (about a 20min drive) which looks pretty cool at night time with all the cities lights which is a decent drive.

I'm guessing it's still on :-)

I'll be there, once i've removed the blocks of mud from the fmic, ducts and the wheels :-/

('lines were never meant to be in mud deeper than 6"!!!!!! - Too fecking hard to clean... piles of mud sitting on all the front sills is wrong!)

Now I know why Bathurst is considered 'rural' :spcow: :zap:

Edit : Although it is funny to see ppls faces when you drive though a town *officially* in the middle of nowhere, and they're pretty much saying 'f*** me, that's a skyline' :headspin:

Edit2 : Have now received true permission, the other half wants me to get *one* donut for her before she starts her diet on monday :-D Talk about a long distance take out!

      Hello Liam - HA - somewhere in flies - possibly I have an update, but I have been so busy, projects have taken a back seat to getting business back on track.  I will let you know the outcome, but I think I am going to go for the 8HP,  CHEERS.  ELVIS

      Thanks Joshuaho96, yes - as someone else also suggested, the 8HP seems the 'smart choice' - HA - and ZERO to do with cost, but I am sure 8 speeds will be better than 6 speeds - HA - maybe.  I will purchase a new 8HP,  Thanks.  ELVIS.

      Nobody said anything about getting a "...cheap Falcon box..."- it was JUST a question about a specific transmission.  And YOU may have a problem with not enough $ - HA - I do NOT - so please keep your comments like you are some financial guru to yourself.  BUT - much appreciated re the cost of a new 8HP and I twill probably be the way I go.  Thanks.  ELVIS.

      Most people I know in the BMW world are swapping 6HPs for 8HPs. The 6HP has a big issue with one of the clutch drum bushings wearing out shockingly early which leads to them going into limp mode going into 5th/6th gear as the oil pressure loss from the worn bushing causes clutch slip. Even with the adaptations in shifting the TCU can't bump line pressure enough to keep the clutches from slipping and burning. I've personally looked at a 335d with 6HP28 with one owner and ~90k miles on it and the transmission adaptations were way out of spec and even though it nominally drove ok I'm confident it would have needed a full rebuild sooner than later. Other than that they're fine, but the 8HP doesn't really have weird issues like this to my knowledge and they're in everything these days so pulling them out of crashed cars isn't too hard.
