    Safeway Petrol

    Woolworths petrol? The thought sends shivers down my spine...... Ive seen fuel filters removed form cars run exclusively on Woolies juice, it was completely blocked, and wasnt the prettiest looking liquid coming out either.
  2. all this talk about chicken, bacon and eggs sounds like a topic to me....... :lol: :lol:
  3. This place wont let you take the rim home until its fully dried, it took them nearly 1 week to do my Simmons! They are ultra fussy. Trust me.
  4. I'll get Kirsty to drop us off so we can have a "few light refreshing ales".........
  5. What Craig said. They are usually fairly busy (which is a good thing I reckon), call up tomorrow and ask what the turnaround is.
  6. From Oct 03, the callipers are different if my memory serves me correctly. They definately did change callipers sometime!
  7. Wheel factory in Queanbeyan (may be called Quickfit Qbn now, not 100% sure), repair alloy wheels, they repolished and repainted my Simmons, very very good job. Highly recommend them. They are on Silva Road, off Yass road.
  8. 24/25th please. Will there be any problems if we organise our own accommodation? I have a van at Merry Beach, already paying site fees there! Im sure a few of us will have holiday homes or caravans scattered around South Coast, just thought id better be polite and ask the question.......

    manual or auto

    From now on, whoever starts a "manual v's auto, which is better" should be automatically locked and deleted I reckon! Nothing ever gets resolved. It just provokes more arguements. Nobody has proven whether a auto is better than a manual or vice versa. The question cant be answered. Id personally rather see "which is better, spirits or beer for hangovers".....

    Headlight upgrade

    Are they legal? Will your insurance company refuse a claim because you have non OEM parts fitted?
  12. Is this the upper bit? Near the numberplate? Ive removed mine a few times, and its all good! Sits perfectly!
  13. I will be at Oran Park with FoMoCo on the 15th as well........ Plan it early, so we can all organise time off work! Kirsty isnt the most "confident" driver when she is at the wheel, a little bit paranoid of doing something that will damage my car! :lol: And her navigation skills? that's why I got Sat Nav from the factory!
  14. And in England arent they paying around $1 per litre.... pounds that is! Equates to around $2.50 per litre! Face the facts. Petrol is never going to drop in price substantially, it will always be rising. I remember my dad filling the 120ltr tank in my XC when it was around 30c a litre.....
  15. Bad idea Scott. We are then restricting ourselves to the heavily populated parts of Australia only. What happens to our friends at Kiwi land and, infact the rest of the world? If new menbers have to meet up with somebody in order to post, the majority of new members wont even bother. Like I said, I like input on problems from other people, who have a unbiased view, and dont even own a XR, but are heavily involved with modifying cars. Sometimes they come up with a idea we would never have thought of. Leave it the way it is. The mods always weed out the time wasters. These time wasters dont hang around long enough to warrant membership validation.

    GADAN IS BACK!

    Not all of the heat shielding around the turbo (that doesnt vibrate), just the shielding around the pipes under the car! I bet all of the aftermarket guys that put non OEM exhausts on dont re-fit the shielding! They dont seem to be suffering from excessive heat from under the car! The guys that have the APS exhaust, what happened to your heat shielding? Did they refit it? Infact anybody who has a aftermarket exhaust? Besides the turbo heat shield, what happened to the rest?

    SOS

    Well theye are certainly selling more BA series 1 than they ever sold AU series 1! If I remember correctly, when the AU's came out, they werent exactly recall free either! Like I always say, you always hear the bad stories, never hear the good stories.
  18. Either my work's internet connection is dodgy (wouldnt suprise me), or that link to Quicktrak is no longer.......... maybe they didnt pay their bill! :lol:
  19. 1.7 ltrs? Sounds like a excuse to me! :lol: j/k The RB26DETT go like a cut snake for a 2.6ltr!
  20. Yeah im still not sure about Anastacia........ she's got a great chassis and all, but I dunno........ there's something about her........
  21. Would you like a box of tissues Ross? Or how about a big shoulder?
  22. Rob, you are correct, it may be legal to listen in, but does it conform to all current ADR requirements? And can you get a engineers certificate? :lol: :lol: Sorry, couldnt help myself!
