Nawdy Inactive Members 1 Member For: 19y 3m Posted 24/08/05 01:15 PM Share Posted 24/08/05 01:15 PM Hiya guys,new to the forum! I've been talking to James (QTRMILE) a fair bit lately about a couple of things, and promised him I would join and present a couple of ideas. Just so you know up front, I am one of the LS1 guys he has been talking to, so I hope you don't mind me intruding!First up, James has been at me about custom tunes, so I suggested a tuner from Perth. I'm not sure what the rules are regarding the posting of comercial links/business names on this forum so I'll leave that for the moment. This tuner has custom edited my car and a few others up here, and the difference is unbelieveable . As James has already said, he will be willing to travel up again if we can get enough cars and, like I have said, it's worth it. I can post rwkw figures if you like to give you an idea, plus tell you about a few other side benfits from an edit. For the record, I am not affiliated with this tuner nor stand to gain anything from it - I'm just one very satisfied customer. Anyone interested?The second thing I would like to mention is I was one of the organisers of LS1 vs The Rest Streetcar Drag Challenge which was held on the 29th of July. We are doing this again on Friday 28th October at Hidden Valley, and I would like to invite you guys along to join in the fun! The formula we use is very simple, evens out the field, and makes for a lot of fun. To give you an idea, Festiva's (with one being driven by a lady in her first ever street meet) won two of the prizes up for grabs. You will be made most welcome, and it would give the LS1 guys a chance to meet a few BA owners and talk cars. It's something we have been wanting to do for ages, but haven't known how to catch up with you guys until now. Also, James beat me in the one heads-up race I have had with him, but I think tyre smoke, over-enthusiam and a crap 60ft from me might have had something to do with it - either way, he beat me fair and square, so good on him!If you are interested, I can tell you a little more, and tell you the reasons why we have the Challenges in the first place.Anyway, the next street meet is this Friday night, so if you are free, come along, wander down to the pits if you aren't competing and say gidday to the LS1 guys - we would love to meet ya's!!cheers guysTony (Nawdy) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew all Expensive Daewoo owners were not all bad, ha ha Wouldn't mind knowing a bit more about Oct 28th. I have never been on drag strip as a competitor and much as I would like to, I don't think I will be taking part of an edit at this stage. Is there a category for absolutely stock standard at the strip? I'm flat out taking off fast from traffic lights but wouldn't mind having a go with you guys.Don't think I can do this Fri night but just in case, what are the details?Another idea is to maybe get together for a BBQ/drinks for the Bathurst 1000 race on Sunday Oct 9 somewhere in DarwinHey look forward to catching up one day hafadude/Graham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going back to Townsville to catch up with my car/wife next friday, be away for a week or so. Car will be in Darwin around the 30th December so if you see a orange XR6 Turbo with QLD plates getting around it will be me or the wife. Should be here on Oct 9th keep me posted if anything happens with drinks/lunch.CheersCapo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also happy to have it at my place if yours is not available on the day. Don't have a plasma screen though. Would be great if we can round up a few more XR owners along too. I'll have to start leaving cards under other owners' windscreens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capo Member 45 Member For: 19y 5m 24d Location: Darwin N/T Posted 04/09/05 10:42 AM Share Posted 04/09/05 10:42 AM Be in town 09 Oct at this point in time. Be great to go out and watch Bathurst on a plasma TV, pool is a bonus as well (won't throw in it, damn waste of beer). If I drive the company car out I will need a bit of floor space or nice soft grassy area to fall over on (have own swag).CheersCapo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
