Posted 04/09/08 02:41 AM Share Posted 04/09/08 02:41 AM Saturday Night 13/09/08 Cruise IdeaJust a central meetpoint like Captain Munchies or E-Shed Markets, cruise through Cott, Scabs, Hillaries Then through the City & finish up at the Cas or back in Freo for a beverage.There'll be no maps so it'll be more of a follow the leader type thing. CB Radios might be the go so everyone can keep in touch if someone gets lost, ie. Stef Meet time will be around 8pm.Anyone interested??lol cb radio would have helped me heaps last cruise... for those who know what happend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbo is off the car and is at the shop getting ported a wastegate and 12psi actuator fitted. I should start installing all the new bits and pieces tonight hopefully. I've been in the garage till midnight every night for the past week almost polishing up every single bit of metal in the engine bay, its hopefully going to be hell blingy when its all done! It will match the polished plenum, intercooler and pipe work. Done the throttle body, air con pipes, bit of the block, oil/water lines, thermostat housing, heat shields.... and the list goes on heres a few of the bits so far (left shield is done, right side still normal): http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b378/198...t_shield001.jpgThermo housing: http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b378/198...ng_after002.jpgIts all still a work in progress, I'm not 100% happy with the polished end result, but its slowly getting there Edited 04/09/08 05:36 AM by XF Falcon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh and my dad will be too, he will be even happier than me! (as soon as the gigantic mess of tools and parts are all cleaned up) I doubt it will ever be as good as his engine bay, but I'm taking the opportunity to do as much as I can while everything is out. When the turbo comes back I'll be taking the front cover off it and polishing that up too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got it at bunnings.haha he is busting my chops every night about the mess! And my generic response is that I'm working as fast as I can, doing it every night..blah blah. But your right he then mutters something in Italian and leaves the garage. He's cool though, he doesn't see the point in what I'm doing, but he will offer to help when I need it so that's nice of him Edited 04/09/08 05:58 AM by XF Falcon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
