:thumbsup: to Kudos Motorsports.

Orderd a new Brake Master Cylinder last night. Received prior to lunchtime today. F#cking awesome.

I called Andrew at Kudos yesterday lunchtime and asked if he had one and if so to get it to me quickly. He rang me back in 5 and said yep got one and as soon as you cut an order I'll post o'night express. Expect Tuesday if you order at night.

So orderd last night and it was waiting for me when I got home :D

Cars going in this afternoon to get another pressure test.

Wish me luck!

The coolant just keeps disappearing and I cant find out where the hell its going.

Engine stays cool all day every day.

Still hearing the gurgling behind the dash even after trying the things the mechanic told me to.

Fingers crossed its a loose hose!

Checked for both of those thanks guys.

Had a long inspection in and around the floor and under the car.

Did a few short and long trips and checked for puddles after.

Nothing and no signs under the car of anything going wrong.

Car feels really weird to drive cold. (I am probably just paranoid as I have only ever driven an auto 323 lol)

Dont know if thats just normal as its cold.

By weird I mean changing gears isnt smooth as it kind of slugs into each gear.

idles around 1100 then drops to around 900

I dont know hey will just have to see what they say when it comes back.

Dropped it at Ultra Tune Fyshwick as they could get it in for a test today for $50

Lol sounds like it would have been an epic stack.

I'm 24 and my right knee is destroyed from my many rollerblading fails.

I guess us young guys aren't as bulletproof as we'd like to think hey haha

Guessing we need to drink more milk!

I got the car back just before.

Turns out there is a leak from the actual radiator

+ behind the engine right up against the firewall some small tap thing that is extremely hard to get to

They suggested getting the radiator reconditioned

But I think I might just purchase a 2nd hand one or even a brand new one.

haha yeah was pretty f**king funny....wasn't even getting big air though lol. I had my helmet cam ripped off its mount and buried in the snow......it wasn't filming at the timestupid.gif

We estimated the ditch my head dug into the snow (relatively untouched, definitely NOT powdery haha) was about 50cm long and 30cm deep. When I was able to get up and hobble the 50m to the next T-bar, I decided I'd lay on the snow for a while to not further strain whatever I'd just done to my back....lay there for about 30mins before I could stand up confused.gif

Guessing we need to drink more milk!

I drink about 1L per day hahahaha....I don't think I have a calcium deficiency :P

    • Nah, they'll do it without a receipt, tell em roughly when it was, that it was cash, youll likely only get store credit, but that gets you some dollars towards the newer better shovel, or other item you need/want later.   Still take it back and have a crack at returning it.
    • Nah. Was just wondering if you were having a small stroke or if there was some slur/gaf/inside joke that I wasn't aware of.
    • That was a fark up, it's Salamanca Place I was thinking of. And now I'm curious as to what potential slur/gaf I have caused with Salamander Road, ha ha!
    • Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)
