Thats something everybody has to remember, the last government was only looking at the short term and nothing else - what was going to happen when they sold off all the assets ? And everybody was protesting over it. And now that we a government who's looking for the long term by keeping the assets we still have and cutting the fat out of the budget. Just the same thing you and i would do if our budget was in the red. Yeah, i'd sell something of mine but only if it'd help in the long term. Ol' Newman has gone a bit hardcore on it all and a some of the chops i don't think have been the right thing to do. Hospitals ? Thats one spot that should never be cut, unless the staff position in question is of someone who stands around day in day out with their digit up their bum and not really doing a needed job. And don't get me wrong, i work in an area that has the chance of getting a budget cut. :jamie: I just had to get my 5 cents in

Taxpayer money, some of the wasted money could be reduced by printing on both sides of the paper and if the print job is stuffed up - recycle it or use it for jotting notes down, don't just dump it in the bin. I might sound like a prick, but for the letters that get sent out to the public (eg centrelink letters) have them printed in english only - unless asked for a different language. It'll cut the cost on printer ink, it'll also cut the cost on unnecessary phone calls to explain the letter and maybe another one being sent out. And just how many staff are really needed in the government public sectors ? We've got a friend who's having to deal with D.O.C.S at the moment, and the amount of crap she has to go through just to take an overnight trip from here down to the gold coast, if its to stay with friends, they need to be "blue carded" or if its a motel/hotel then docs have to inspect the place first. All this can take up to 6 months. Why ? Cause not just one person in docs signs on the red tape but a team of them who signs and counter signs. One person ? Two people at the most to sign the red tape, not a bloody tribe of them. Someones making the attempt to get qld back in the black by not trying to sell off assets. Yeah, might be a bit hardcore but at least most of the chaff is getting removed from the wheat.

Even the padlocks awesome

:hmm: in one word when i got a ae82 seca twincam :hmm: yeah ok i'll give it a go.

^ more commonly called an iPhone

You can see it in the driveshaft jumping up and down. Its got ABS, can see it in the front wheels juddering away. I'd say the backend would more then likely be from a crap suspension setup and the big tires. I want one for toowoomba

Thats cool lol lol lol :P

Nothing wrong with hydraulic lifters, nothing right about them either. But there's nothing right or wrong about solid lifters either. It just comes down to how much maintenance you want to do on the motor. Me, i hated the idea of it, so i preferred the hydraulic lifters over the solids.

Yeah tell me about it :( Its called old age :lol: But the link was for the celica pdf files etc.

So you got her back Including the sexy wheels ? You forgot to send me that link of yours :wave:

I'm guessing Dave's got poets day under the belt

Trev from Ipswich :P

Thats phucked. I have a facebook account, i think ?! I get updates or whatever its called with stuff on a facebook account.

You know you want to come out here Trev. How about a 5s bottom end with a 3sg head and a turbo hanging off the side ?

"Welcome to the real world, here's ya bloody tiara princess." <cock leg> BRAAAAAHHHH

Have you made sure their the correct bushes ? When i did the ones on my old '30 they were tight but i was still able to push them in with my hands. If their the nolathane type make sure their well lubed with the supplied grease.

Oddly they look alright. Maybe lower the front 1/2" and fit bigger brakes to fill in the space

Anybody else watching the V8 supercars ? I'm liking how they've changed the way the drivers contest for pole position for the main race. The co-drivers run a 20 lap sprint and what they position in at the end is what their top drivers start in for their 20 lap sprint which decides their main race positions instead of who can get the fastest lap time without having to deal with other cars. So its almost BTCC racing with all the pushing, shoving and "reckless" moves. And Kelly Racing are running a nissan quad cam v8 next year.

At random times :hmm: If it was an engine bearing, it'd be under certain load conditions wouldn't be random i don't think. Maybe an oil pressure gauge might be the order of the day.

I've got dibs if you sell it, even if Dave said it yesterday :lol: Have you come across that knocking again ?

A new take on slotted rotors.

Cool, going to have to get back in and start adding some more pages.

I like it :jamie:

:hmm: looks kinda cool, a ute with a boot. And a place to carry the kids when their having a screaming match with each other. Wind the windows up, turn on the air con, crank the stereo and give the other road users some entertainment....

:rolls: :P
