Morning Alex....or is it arvo? Ahhh fuck off daylight savings!! Yeh I know a lot of people who are working hard this weekend. Some need the money, others have no choice because of their bosses. Gotta do what you gotta do I guess. Was my bros bday Friday night so went into the city with my mates....got home 4am (I think?). Was awesome. Umm today I got up at 5:30 to drop my 'rents off at the airport. I think I ran over a few people on Oxford St but meh... Plans for today: Catch up with friends....catch up with relos who came from overseas last night...then work tonight. Pretty cruisey day More time off work, eh Alex?

You were pretty drunk! Oh well

[Scuba-Roo]

Hey shiv, yeah actually i MIGHT as I might be comming up to pick up some goodies, won't be in my lib though

[Shiv]

Ah good enough your coming anyway. Although would've been keen to see where your cars at now with all the RS bits. Why don't you drive that other Lib with the pink lettering on the back?

[Scuba-Roo]

My car looks good until you see the paint peel of the sides and million dings from it's neglect. My front shocks are mcfucked and so is my 3rd gear synchro. Ask Morgan or cam or Jono they'll all say the wagons body needs some tlc. but my car has nearly driven from the earth to the moon!! Oh and dads 02 fairmont is much nicer and cheaper to drive

[Shiv]

Haha, fair enough, yeh I try to nick other peoples cars from time to time Have you painted the new bits (ie; bonnet, front cover etc)?

[Scuba-Roo]

The Bonnet, rs bar, front gaurds, and grill painted a little while ago got rs foggiz wired up, gonna try paint a door with dad cause I already have 4L of paint if that doesn't work I'll get doors and sideskirts done after rego in a month or so.. How do i upload pics from iPhone??

[Alex]

fixed mum's astra. rear passenger side window was kernackered. window reg. stupid GM crap. got my replacement from ebay during the week. $75 for a brand new reg. versus GM's $200+. Swapped it over today and its working great guns. Two things didn't impress me with the astra. 1) regulator is steel cable driven with plastic pulleys. FAIL. 2) regulator is pop-riveted to the door. doubleFAIL.

They dont make 'em like they used to.


IMO Astra=FAIL

Heard nothing bad bad stories with wedge plates Rhys, be curious to hear your successes with it!

(or anyone else's for that matter).

really? i wont be using the oil cooler until the car is ready for the track, which means.. new gearbox,fmic,parallel fuel conversion, surge tank, retune and a couple other important things.

ages away! plenty of time to test it out with the sensors.

but whoah. check this out. power steering and oil cooler. imagine getting pulled over with that.. "yes officer, its completely stock and came from the factory like this" haha.

I'm sorry....

but what?


What you mean Dylan? You must know the unluckiest kents known to mankind...



Who do you know has a sandwich plate on their oil filter? And has had bad experiences?

:/





And Rhys. I have a power steering cooler.

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND ONE before you even think about another cruise through the hills!

(in fact, I recommend you go see Skip, and get yourself a 2.7lock rack, and replace that rubbish AUDM rack!!)
