heya Ryan, Been following your thread mate. been really exciting stuff. shame to see you sell it, hope you can find a garage for her and get back to it when you are able. get well soon mate

just got down a good copy of this and within 15 mins of the film, my runs in, wondering what i'm cheering about. she comes and sees me jumping for joy, yelling"haha omg, its a datto..! wooh" sure enough there is 'Bumblebee', as a P510(wont spoil how/why its a datto), as his daily driver. link to onset pics/vids: http://japanesenosta...sformers-3-set/ apologies if you already know. tis news to me :-)

Redline extractors from Darryl Bonell at Autozone Performance in T'mba for $250 http://www.autozoneperformance.com/ Test Fit, notice battery relocated from engine bay(will do a nice engine bay shot when she is tidied a bit more) a few of the manifold bolt holes were stripped(re threading here) test fit of intake and exhaust, note the variance in flange thickness at the face. chose to pack out the extractor bolt points, rather than machining the intake, for fear of going thru the wall. after a wash today, i decided to take her for a run to the Japanese Gardens for a couple of pics got this a while back, just waiting on boss kit to arrive. wanted to keep that ole skool SAAS feel to the wheel, unlike the newer space age looking ones(my opinion) Got a Tighe 150A cam to go into her(thanks Luke), but waiting on a head i can do up, to suit her, heavy springs, shave, 3 angle seat job, maybe bigger valves, if needed. can't seem to find the vacuum advance line to tap into from the Dellorto, so i'm running none, til i can find the right spot to tap into. if anyone knows, or can point me into the right direction, i'd appreciate it. more to follow as i can thanks for taking the time to read

got her passed roady and in my name today. will post more pics up when i can. have taken a sht load since i bought her. huge thanks to Master Yoda(Luke) for all his fabrication work, moral support and allround nice guy'ed ness..! i finished work early today, get home, get stuck into the intake/exhaust setup, wanting to get her sorted, so I could get the rego transfer to my name, before they close at 4pm. and over comes Luke, welder in hand/s, and gets me fixed, all good to go by 3pm..! a true legend..! so off i rush, expecting them to come out and confirm numbers, etc, like they used to. nope. i could have turned up in a POS rust bucket for all they care, now. they didnt come out, simply charged me the transfer fee, and waved me off, as i left, lol. apparently now, the onus is on the roadworthy inspector that all numbers, etc match. they simply fill in the details, on the PC.... i was stressing over nothing.. Mason can now breathe easier, knowing its out of his name now. more pics to follow. once again, Luke. you are the man /salute

wow..! just wow..!

thats a very sweet setup mate..!

Nice ride mate! Sounds like a great turnout, too.

lol yeah mate. certainly a weird one..!

cheers Brad, yeah she will be tamed, and paint changed etc. tho, i will mos probably do paint last, as i am not afraid of the odd car park bump in her, at Uni(where i work), all those darn P platers, lol doing it right, and will take time. ive always been a fan of the N/A ole skool engines(I'm an ole man, so my era, lol) so i have been tracking down a decent side draught set up on the 5K. Luke and I got a pair of Dellorto's off ebay a while back and i figured I'd try a single 40+mm DHLA or DCOE webber(when cash permits) was in Auto barn a while back and literally stumbled across a Redline single side-draught manifold, so i have the soft mount kit and a 40 mm Dellorto ready to pop on her for now. in the past i've run both twins, and singles, and found trying to keep the twins in tune, etc got to me after while, so ill see what i can get out of a single, first i have been taking a lot of pics over the short time ive had her. will put some more up later thanks, Zowie

wasnt sure if id bother with a 'Rides' thread. In fact, i was going to sell her for a mate's 'Rolla, as i didnt have the time to do what is needed. But then Master Yoda(Luke/mate from the forums) said: "Power, she will have. Patience, you will need" let me Iterate, this is not to criticize previous owners. i bought her 'as is' and checked her over before handing over the cash. i bought 'the dream' or what she will become, much like Francis Dollarhyde in Manhunter ultimately wanted, the chrysalis to the butterfly. So here we are I figured what I'm learning as i go, may help others. you've all prob seen Mason's Ride thread, so i wont bore you with the details. Bought her pretty much as seen here: when i saw her, i fell in love, as my first car i learnt to drive in was a baby sht yellow KE36, so i jumped at the chance to get her. thx Mason. when looking at her, i thought the height looked good, til i drove her home, dammn near needed a kidney belt, lol. so during the next week, i tidied up what i could, for the roadie to xfer it to my name. Luke and I thought it may be a lil low for passing RWC, so i thought I'd drop a set of stocko springs under her til it passes. it was there i found: :-/ pro tip no 12: when chopping springs, at least leave a 'seat' on them' so in went: more to come

http://bigpondnews.com/articles/Entertainment/2011/09/16/Gordon_Ramsay_dwarf_double_found_eaten_662353.html “A dwarf porn star who was a dead ringer for celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay has been found dead in a badger’s den in the UK, according to tabloid reports. The reports say UK Ministry of Agriculture experts discovered the 3’6” body of Percy Foster ‘deep in an underground chamber’, ahead of a planned badger-gassing program near Tregaron, Wales. The body of the actor, who starred in such X- rated films as Hi-Ho Hi-Ho, It’s Up Your Ae We Go, was reportedly found ‘partially eaten’ in the chamber - but investigators have not ruled out the possibility of suicide.”

Spotted Warren, my auto electricians 'Rolla. i saw it there and thought, 'thats pretty neat', got to talking to him about her and he let me look under the hoody a bloody 1900 cc Starfire outta his Sunbird wreck, lol central locking, cruise control, A/C, and he says its tuned for economy and gets 40mpg on the highway, sits on 2250 revs at 100k's very neat

np mate. And agreed RE needing more time.. I finish work at 3pm most days, and still can't get enough.... I might have to try 'not sleeping' lol

haha, thanks for the kind words mate. *doctor evil voice: "got ya fooled, mwah hahaha" LOL, Tyler, that is epic..! and Rob you rock, BTW, love your work, mate but yeah, to back Luke up here, I live right next door, was at work when this all went down and missed it. the bugger ripped my letter box off and used it as a boomerang to try kill Luke's dogs or something? found it under their bedroom window. we then saw the culprit, wearing the same clothes, the following day. he kept walking past, avoiding eye contact, but sneaking glances. so we called to him(in a nice manner), to come over and chat, he pretended he didnt hear us, and kept going. SRSly, shoulda google maps'ed this place b4 we bought it. i swear to god, in the pic, there was a grp of indiginous people walking past my house with a carton on their shoulder, on the way to or from the phone box... anyhow, back on topic, glad the brown banger is back on the road mate :-)
