Well.

It had to happen eventually.

Golgo has been sold :)

He will be moving to South Australia with a nice new owner late next week.

*sniff

Feeling a bit bummed by it all - so help cheer me up by posting your favourite memory, recolection - or even picture of the mighty purple assassin.

This one sums it up for me:

Thanks for reminding me...

At the moment there are no plans for a replacement.

I'll probably get something much bigger and slower first.

Ideally with a back yard.

That said... a man cannot live by bread alone, and I'm sure having the choice of a crappy Lada or a crappier Lada will wear thin soon enough.

I will certainly keep you all informed :)

Hi James, my favorite memory of golgo was when i was following you on the way back from the GOR cruise. The huge flames it spat out on gear change was something of a highlight on the way back :)

thanks for the memories :D

I hope you buy a replacement GTR soon and it better be a R34 :)

First time I have Ever seen golgo.

James told me they are the pics when GOLGO was going up on the dyno for "flame" run :D (First pic on thread :))

1st pic does make GOLGO seem like an assisin comming out of the dark lol

After seeing all the riced up cars at the Autosalon, Then seeing golgo squeezing through people in the showroom with its gruntin engine i went to my friend and said, "Now thats a real car"

No!!!

Ah well, I know how long you've been trying to sell him. Congratulations to the new owner, Golgo is one fine machine - even if he was always the "town bike" :)

I always liked this shot - James I owe you a 30x20in print for all those times you let me borrow him - if you can remember a favourite shot let me know:

This is some of the saddest news this year... James we all know you have been wanting to sell the beast for a while, but it's a shame it had to go interstate.. You can always remember the memories that GTR has given you… Hope the new owner enjoys it as much as you have and that the Lada begins to bring as much joy to you as what Golgo has given you…

Just a small picture from the GOR cruise. Will never forget you pulling Golgo out at the back of the pack and stopping all traffic for us to all pull out… for some reason Golgo would be the only car that would get away with that and never get tooted :)

In saying that congratulations James on the sale and hopefully something bigger at better will appear in the near future.

:) - a sad day indeed.

The countdown of my favourite memories include:

3. Golgo getting trapped in the garage for several days until the nice locksmith came to his resuce. Cmon - it was funny as.

2. Screeching to a holt on the GOR cruise as we were too busy looking at the scenary to realise everyone else had stopped - at least you know the brakes worked!!!

1. You and Jeremy (in Golgo) and Snowy and me (in the REX) racing around Winton for what anyone would have thought were sheepstations!!!

Anyhoo - he was a beast and will be sadly missed. Let's just hope the new owner enjoys him as much as and you and everyone else who was lucky enough to score a drive.

That said - TURBO LADA here we come!!!!! :P

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      You need one of those automated sprays that puffs a nice small every 15 minutes in their room. Except swap the nice smell for chloroform...

      Vag Coil Diy loom wire guage selection

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Don't step down power supply size, maintain it the whole way. It's how I'd do it. OR, Id have one feed, with one joint that splits out to six smaller gauge wires that go to each coil. I wouldn't add joins like stepping from 12 to 16, at the first two coils, as if you try to continue that fashion, each joint will introduce a voltage drop. In theory, earths should be the same size as power feeds, however in this case the main power needs to be bigger due to the average size current. So the next question is, how much current do these coils actually need?

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I think Murray is onto it. It's sounding like either it's a soft block, not long enough block, OR if you're chasing waves, you're going in the direction of the waves, instead of across them. Rotate your sanding pattern by 45 degrees is something to try. You said you're going in an X, so now instead, from the same perspective, do a "t" instead.   If you're not able to have the block sit on top of two high points, and not touch the low point between them, you'll never get it flat.

      By Manur33 · Posted

      Hi, i’m making Vag coil loom for rb25det, can anyone confirm the wire guage i’m using for power supply in diagram is enough for supply not too small for loom? For earth do i need to follow the same procedure or i can use only 16awg wire for all coil and their connecting wire following to the plug?

      Did you panel beat the dents or have you tried to repair this only using filler?  Is your sanding block soft/flexible and is following the shape of the panel rather then just knocking down the high points?
