  1. Personally...I'd love to see the Dragons pull one out of the bag after all this time..... But, having said that, seeing the Roosters come from wooden spooners last year to grand finalists this year.... Mate....that's gotta be deserving of some form of award Just not a grand final win that's all
  2. Great night guys.....not a big rollup, but those who came along had a good time. Glad to meet you guys.... It's amazing the stuff you learn by talking with guys like Karl and Chris who have been there and done that.... GO THE DRAGONS!
  3. Yep....did mine yesterday......easy as' with a deep 24mm socket
  4. Just to clarify..... Are you talking about the oil filter on the side of the engine? Or the small filter in the oil feed line to the turbo?
  5. Without an official thread for this meetup....I can see it being a bit of an ad-hoc deal..... I'll try and come up with some sort of a run for later in the night if you want. SO DON'T FORGET YOUR CB RADIOS GUYS.......
  6. Err....can we see a common theme here guys??? Can SOMEBODY post up some definate details like when, where and where to on this please? just so everyone's on the same page with this.....
  7. Oh' alright.....you've talked me into it..... So where, when and what time are we supposed to meeting up?
  8. Normally....I would have loved to.....especially if it meant catching up with Colin but Ive got this ugly whine coming from the turbo right now and until I get it sorted, I wont be doing much in the car
  9. Sorry guys....didnt make it.. Just got home from the Nationals....only ran 2 hours overtime after some breakages and oil downs. Im stuffed....going to bed so I can go back out tomorrow and do it all again hope you all had a great night, looking forward to seeing the pics
  10. yeah....I remember the distortion in Clarkson's face when he floored it....
  11. Im working at Sydney Dragway Friday night, but its supposed to be all over by 8.30-9.00pm or so. I'll head down to the boat ramp at Botany afterwards.
  12. Ok....if you blokes are organising this....how about some times and exact locations? Im working at the dragway next Sat night, but can come down to Homebush when its over. If I can find out where the rest of you guys will be....
  13. At least its a Ford turbo Mal......that puts you ahead of a few others.... Should be a mandatory requirement as a mod I think. And that reminds me.....dont you have a radio you were selling?.....will call ok.
  14. Oh cool.....a photoshoot with entertainment thrown in.....I'll be there
  15. I don't see why we should pick on poor old Nick...... After all....we've even got a moderator who doesnt even own one
  16. Great vision mate..... But overtaking over double yellows (twice) wasn't real smart though.....
  17. Do you want me to set this up with its own thread?
  18. I'll be in it.....might try and drag Rootster, seducedfastas and Smicky along too......
  19. Its a shame you can't get into a BF with a six speed ZF, there a much nicer car. However, if you can get a BA MK2 that's not to bad either....just see if you can find an unmolested low klm vehicle and you can't really go too far wrong. As for fuel economy, this is DIRECTLY related to your right foot..... Driven sensibly, you'll get pretty reasonable economy but if to get stuck into it.....be ready to visit the servo....often.
  20. ....What he said You'll be ok....just dont rev it...
  21. This wasn't so much of an excuse but more of a save by circumstance..... Back in my youth, I had an XT GT, a nice car but more of a rolling violation to the Police. Lowered to the max, huge wheels on the back, a big cam and an exhaust that consisted of two drainpipes sticking out from under the sides of the car (you can imagine what it sounded like...... :auto: On my way to the city one night to pick up my girl from work and the alternator light comes on.... I decide to try and make it to my mates place at Maroubra to fix it and then pick up the girl. Im driving back out along Anzac Parade with just my parkers on to try and save the battery.....on the other side of the road, I spot what looks like an unmarked cop car....sure enough, he chucks a U turn.....probably thinks Im a drunk....I speed up a little....he's still coming. Damn....I don't need this..if I turn the car off, the thing won't start again....Ive got to find a hill, an incline, a gutter even..... anything I can use to get the car started after he books me....he looms up behind me and hits the lights, no siren, just lights. Im still going, and getting panicky still looking for anywhere I can shut the car off and be able to clutch-start it again. After another 500 mtrs or so, he starts to get the sh*ts and hits the siren....I turn off and onto a side street...there's a little bit of an incline, so I pull over and switch the car off. Cop gets out...he's p*ssed off..... Cop...Why didn't you stop.... Me...It's got a flat battery....I had to find a hill.... He's walking round the car....how low is this thing son? and those wheels...there too' wide.....and that exhaust!!! I could hear you from the other side of Anzac Parade! I'm gonna have to put a defective sticker on this.... At this stage, Im doing a mental note of everything Im going to have to change to get it past the RTA.... :violin: And that's when the God's smiled upon me...... :angel: Across from where I had stopped, there was a big carpark that belonged to the hotel in the next street.... The cop is walking back to his car to get the defect book and that's when we heard this old Expensive Daewoo wagon doing a burnout in the carpark....the Expensive Daewoo has about 7-8 yahoos in it and he drives over the gutter in a shower of sparks, almost hits another car coming up the road and to cap it all off.....this tool sticks his head out the back window and screams out,,,,,YA' MOTHERF*CKERS at the top of his voice The cop runs back to me and says....you just make sure you do something about that exhaust alright!! then gets back in his car and roars off down the road after these guys...... Like I said.....it was just a lucky save....but I'll never forget that night.
  22. Errr....Sydney Dragway is pretty self-explanatory I'd reckon.....
  23. Posting on behalf of another forum. The guys at South Coast Commodores have organised a private track hire day at SD for Sunday 22nd August. and they have asked if any of the members here may be interested in coming along. South Coast Commodores • View topic - SCC Private Drag Day Field is limited to 40 cars max. so everyone should get heaps of runs. For those interested in attending, please PM me for the organiser's phone No. or email ls1vt209@hotmail.com for any further details. We have done some road cruises with this group and they're a great bunch of guys so it should be a fun day.
