aaaaaaaaaaaaaa

here is some shelby poetry...........

My friend is a poet...

tehehehehe *shucks* I am not a poet, merely an admirer of a masterpiece created in the time where cars were dangereous and sex was safe - by a team with vision, something ford has never encountered ever since. Aerodinamics -_wind-tunnels in mind, sleek, elegant and perfect 50/50 balance to go around corners. Weight - completely different monocoque construction - same as today's F1 cars - first ever, very light and 3 times as strong and finally POWER.... full aluminium 7.4 litre (light) with enought horsepower to tow Greg Norman's boat, not to mention torque - because there is no substitute for cubic inches and at 427 cubic inch this baby had about 700 Nm of torque. Until today every Chev owner has only been able to dream and even the R/T Viper only begins to scratch the surface with the 6 Litre V10 - fourty years later. *sniff* this is nostalgic stuff.....

had stuff to dooo

anyone know who drives a white R33 with a big ricey FastLane sticker on the rear window ..... saw it today with a Celica with number plates "docking" in pursuit.

Well looks like we finaly hear something bad about steve at SST.

Not gonna go into the details but Gradenko is not a happy chappy. Basically he told steve to pull something out and send it to some other guys to fix it under warranty as it was only out last month and they guarentee their work.

Steve palms it off to another guy because hes busy or couldnt be bothered and the other guy passes it on to the warranty place which doesnt know its under warranty and charges the second guy for the work.

He goes back to pick it up this morn and finds hes been charged just cause steve had a communication breakdown and/or couldnt be bothered. So an extra $200 on the bill for something he could have done him self but didnt want the car off the road for 4days. Also both steve and the guy he palmed it to are now saying its not their problem. Real nice.

I know there are 2 sides to every story but this side dont sound too good.

    • Congrats on the career change!  I did something similar at the start of the year too, left IT / corporate after nearly 2 decades. Soooo when's the motor coming out for the spark plug change?
    • Hi guys, long time no post as per usual! It's been a busy year so far, the biggest thing being a new job.  After 28 years in the automotive industry I decided it was time for a change.  I was losing faith in the industry and where it's heading.  Now in a completely different industry (electrical) working for a company that manufacture water pump contollers.  Not as sexy as cars but it's an interesting,  challenging industry. I now don't work Saturdays which is a bonus!  It's still 50-55 hours a week but having Saturdays ack after 28 years of working them is awesome!   No news on the GT-R but i did decide to add some more JDM goodness into my life....           1990 300 ZX.  She's not perfect but for a 35 year old car she ain't bad!  Just going to tidy it up a bit and enjoy it.  It's currently auto but will start stockpiling everything for a manual swap. It WILL distract me even further from the GT-R but im hoping not for too long! It somewhat proves a 6'8" freak can fit in a 300 ZX.  Sort of...  I drove it home from the previous owners house in Melbourne via Black Spur and Merton Gap (2 awesome bits of Victorian twisty road) and it was amazing!  Handles so well!!!   I don't think it would be worthy of a full build page but I'll post up some of the upgrades here if anyone is interested?  Cheers guys!
    • End game is to: - Remove all the slop from old worn parts - Adjust setup so that the wheels actually fit and the car is drivable (currently it is not because of the extreme rubbing on the guards).   Progress over the last couple of days, removed the rear hubs! Next steps: - Buy bushings - Replace bushings/bearings on hub - Reinstall
