  1. ;) No, not really. But it does depend on the angle and location of the king pin for the wheel. Generally no. What would affect the camber more would be the lower control arm, its length and where its mounted on the frame of the car. So in a way that, where its located on the frame could affect the caster, but really, no. The caster rod (or lca locator rod, or what ever its called) does affect the castor more then the strut. The closer the between of the wheel is to the front of the car, the more caster you have. The wheel will be more inclined to centre itself
  2. If thats the case then toowoomba must be the rocking horse poo Capital of australia cause there's at least two that i know of getting around town ;) Anyway, the wheels look pretty good on the car
  3. To lose my fat gut Have the '55 that little bit closer to the road and not just getting pushed out of the garage every so often To make myself believe that i'm saving money :roll: And above all make it through to the end of '09 without too much drama
  4. And for my next bitch On the way back home between Moree and Goondiwindi just sitting the cruise control a little above the speed limit of 110 and this late model falcon came racing up behind us and sat on our arse till they got the idea of passing and talk about phucking slow at doing it. A really great passing area - straight section of road, all clear around, no dips, no rises Now just imagine - falcon pulls out just far enough to check, pulls back in, pulls back out, pulls back in, blinker comes on, pulls out, pulls back in...... like wtf - at the end of the stretch they finely pass us and race on up the road to suck on the arse of a road train. I come up behind them sit a good few seconds back from them and the truck, see a good straight section, two looks blinker on and pass with heaps of room left.... Like just how hard is it to pass some one. Oh, yeah and the falcon did finely get past the truck. Raced up behind us again, but didn't bother passing again just sat on our arse for a bit then backed off raced up again backed off again like a broken record. But never tried to pass. I guess the falcon didn't have cruise control... wankers
  5. Use to go to church years ago but got fed up with it cause you'd start talking to someone and then they'd turn around and "Oh, i've got to see such and such before they leave...", like social butterflies. Get there around 8:30-9 in the morning and didn't leave till way after 12 "Oh, you just have to stay back for lunch." and if you didn't stay back and social butterfly you'd be cut from the groupies till your lesson was learnt. As i was told once - there's more to believing in god then going to church....
  6. Reverse flush is where the coolant system is flushed in the reverse way it normally travels. So if the coolant goes from top to bottom through the motor a reverse flush will be from bottom to top. Can always do it by using a hose hooked up to the tap but its a lot better to have the water forced through by compressed air or something.
  7. Picky picky :y:
  8. Nar been pretty good. Apart from the damn heat wave. Had christmas day with the girlfriends relo's (from her dads side). Their a really great bunch. The only thing that i got annoyed with is the speed zones - one moment its 50 then its 60 up to 70 back to 50. One four lane main street is 60 another one is 50. So much easier back in queensland - main streets are 60 side streets are 50. The thing that i was bitching about was this friend we made plans with for the the trip back home.... Oh yeah i think there was a hit and run earlier on too.
  9. From what i know the temp should be around the half mark Go to a radiator specialist and get it reversed flushed and watch the amount of crap get flushed out. And on that note whats the radiator like ?
  10. Nice score I like the pic's you have of the storm clouds coming over
  11. Oh i know that beautiful feeling. We made plans with friends at sydney that after we finish at wagga we were going to visit them on the way back to toowoomba. But oh no a week before we were due to leave for wagga they decided they were going to visit family at the gold coast. Yeah, ok thats fair enough its family and they haven't been seen for a good while or so. So we changed plans of when we got back they'll come out to home for a while and spend new years with us. But we've just found out they've changed plans and now going to see friends at harvey bay and they might call in on the way back to sydney. We're more or less interested in just how the darn their going to do that went they flew up from sydney and got a lift from a family member to harvey bay. Normally when they go to the bay they'll catch a flight back to syney...... Just so over f@$kin people that you'll make plans with and they'll forget to tell you that their plans have changed or that they had no intention of going through with said plans......
  12. Happy early birthday lol
  13. Yeah i know how that feels bud Congrats And a Merry Christmas to all
  14. I'll stick my hand up for the one with the pink stuff on its head Oops - I forgot "for" between "up" and "the" my bad
  15. There is more then one type strength of Loctite that you can get And plus a dab of superglue on the end of the screw does the same thing
  16. I'll up that with another posting of 34deg C it was today in town. Got a panoramic view of wagga today but forgot the bloody camera Found out while we were at the local historical museum that the botanic gardens have a walk in aviary and a zoo that closes at 5pm Excellent cause my boy is a real animal lover and it would have sweet seeing him reacting with all these new type animals that he's never seen before, like a peacock and goats Checked the time - 4:05pm heaps of time, just around the corner Got there - gates close at 4pm Model trains my arse - garden trains that can be ridden more like it.... At least the track is longer then what it is back at toowoomba with a bridge and a short tunnel Hopefully we get the time to check it out this friday
  17. Yep she was and we went out to do a bit of shopping and came across her working at a donut shop :D
  18. 140 bucks later and i finely had my first taste of Hogs Breath cafe and Zoe was quite tasty
  19. The one i have i've been thinking if i keep it in the car of manualizing the thing.... But anyway, before getting to far into it ke20rolla, try fitting up the manual 'box with its x-member and see if the auto x-member will work out. Especially before you start drilling new holes, making up new bits of steel what evers
  20. I found a sweet project car Its an Armstrong-Siddeley Sapphire 346 Toss out the 3,435cc 6 cylinder and replace it with a Rover 3.5Lt v8 A bit of rubber all round with air bag suspension Metallic black with chrome shiny bits Pity only 7,697 were built
  21. Too right. And yet its these scumbag parents who turn around and blame it on the government, the cops, other parents when their kids start acting against society cause they can't control said kid. And yet its these same scumbag parents who turn around and tell us that if a kid is naughty you should only tell said kid that he/she/it/want ever it is/could be/should be/possibly is "that was naughty" and said kid/thing shouldn't feel hurt cause it might grow up with issues.....
  22. :bash: On ya sport :y:
  23. Oh yeah and trying to figure out what restaurant the grandparents are going to take us to cause their paying
  24. Sitting in my hotel unit with the air con going at a nice cool 24deg C, bashing away on the laptop, watching austar and thinking of popping over the road to the aquatic center to see what skirt there is swimming in the pool :bash:
