EvilDaifu Cruise Whore Moderating Team 5,130 Member For: 19y 3m 9d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 14/04/12 08:01 AM Share Posted 14/04/12 08:01 AM Will update this first post with venue, time and DIY details - so keep checking this first post On this Sunday 20 May at 2:30pm Venue is Kestrel Creek carpark in Westerfolds Park, Templestowe (near Fitzsimons Lane and Porter St, Templestowe)Would anybody be interested in a hands on tutorial on home maintenance for our cars? I'm thinking along the lines of changing light bulbs, tightening turbo manifold bolts, cleaning out the boost solenoid, greasing up that drivers side window so the farrken thing does not jam 3/4 of the way going up , changing your brake pads and rotors and so on. Farrk, even deek has some pretty good tips cos he's been around our cars for a long time - remember the air filter under the glove box clogged with leaves and things deek And I really found it interesting when Paulie showed me how the rear brake rotors and pads came apart and were put back together - including using a torque wrench I mean we talk alot about these things and some of us do it, but could be that some would like to do it if only they had someone to show them how to do it. Bring some deck chairs to sit on if you like. I'll bring some free bickkies and coffee - so feel free to partake Sounds like there could be 2-3 cars being worked on at the same time led by various experts so cars being worked on should park furtherest from the Kestrel Creek Park entrance (one way in/out) so as not to block access to those coming and going please.Also will have some free Wi-Fi running It'll be BYO hand tools and materials by the way and things done at your own risk Here's a list of things that are possible be we obviously won't do all - but you can ask questions about them and other things.Ok just a few things that daztbo has up his sleeve that have come in handy1. Tighten manifold bolts2. Lube and clean boost solinoid actuator3. Change spark plugs + coils4. Change tps + reset tps5. Change engine oil + filter6. Change fuel filter7. Clean throttle body8. Block of bov to make flutter9. Clean aircon filter10. Clean or replace fuel pressure reg11. Replace brake pads + rotors + bleed brakesPlus there is a heap more like installing mods egNew coolerInjectorsFuel pumpExhaust cat and dump pipeActuatorRelocate battey to boot or passenger side so turbo side air box can be fittedDose pipesPlenumsAnd pretty much anythingInterested Parties:1.

Shyfrd Turboless Donating Members 5,992 Member For: 13y 8m 18d Gender: Male Location: Geelong, Victoria Posted 14/04/12 08:16 AM Share Posted 14/04/12 08:16 AM That's an awesome idea for the newcomers to the turbo scene Gary. I know there are a few people on here that don't know of the 'standard' things to regularly do to their cars and maintain, good time for them to learn before something goes on them. +1 thread, make it some sort of meet up for the colder months where no cruises happen, good photo op too.Tra1nr's back from The Prom, so he can supply the BBQ Worm could come and there'd be a double burner!
