If your driving is as good as your spelling and punctuation, it's not surprising.

Any decent tool place should have them, Trade Tools, All tools, Glenfords, etc. Wouldnt expect Bunnings to have them, but you never know.

Backed into someone tonight with the Touareg. Did the right thing and found the owner who was cool about it. Just annoyed at my own stupidity.

There is no best way to get them off. You can get a thing called a zip-cut which is basically a spot weld drill thingy. You want to be fairly good on the tools to use it, otherwise you'll do more harm than good.

Yep. WGMG is that I'm sitting in beautiful 24 deg sunshine in Brisbane, and I'm going back to cold God forsaken Melbourne this afternoon. (nothng personal guys. :lolcry:)

That "3K" was not stamped into that engine by Toyota. The other nu bers look legit though.

I hope you won't be disappointed. :( hopefully see you there. R

In Melbourne as we speak. When and where please, wouldn't mind catching up with a few people. R

South Australia is unique in the way their transport operates. somethings happen that do not anywhere else in the country, and other things do. You can't compare Queensland to S.A. (Insert smartarse comment here.)

The best release agent I've ever used, bar none, is some stuff called Mouse Milk. And a heat gun. As used by Aviation Professionals. :P Also +1 for Metrinch tooling. I've removed circular bolts with my set.

..... but I'm sure you can lift heavy things.....

Going to sound strage, but safety equipment. Don't skimp. Ever. 3" inch belts, decent helmet (I have a carbon Kevlar Sparco one, which I was wearing when I hit the tree head on. Due to the weights involved, if I'd been wearing a cheapy, it would have ripped my head of.....) Spend money on a decent cage. A nice driving seat (Velo, Sparco, Cobra...) You drive a whole lot better when you know that your still going to go to work on Monday if something big happens. To learn to drive a car, you don't need huge brakes. Make sure the one's you have are recently machined. Spend a bit more on a good set of pads. Suspension. You don't need coilovers. Really. We did without them for years. Good quality shocks (Koni for bitumen, Bilstein for dirt) and a good set of springs. You can get them custom made for not that much at whatever height and poundage you want. Mix and match. Swaybar: If you like, never played much with them personally. Here's a biggy: Do one change at a time. That way you'l know if the change has been good, bad or indifferent. Change a whole bunch of things at the one time and the car turns to crap, your then working backwards to work out what you did wrong. Don't worry too much about the power/ weight thing. Get the car ready, drive it, then start tinkering. I know too many people who have got anal with the car and you never see them because "the cars not right". Hell, one of my cars I've had for 19 years, and I don't think it's EVER been right! :P Get a car, Get decent safety gear, get out there. Then start tinkering. Enjoy.

Here is not the place to post this. You also have this posted in wanted to buy. One item= one thread.

I think I live here.

Yep. Does your phone allow punctuation as well?

From the rules that You have agreed to: Feel free to readvertise in a couple of days. :)

You can buy them new from any good parts store. They will give you 10x illumination of one off an old car because they're..... well..... new. Spend the extra dollars and see the difference.

I'd be happier if I could still use these plates.

You need a Clubman rally licence. You'll need to be part of a club. NDSCC is about the cheapest, but HSCCQ is good value as well. NDSCC is a more rally orientated club though. You'll need to sit in on a lecture, and do two observed licence tests (can be done at motorkhanas.). Need a helmet. You don't need a race suit for club rallies, just long sleeves and long pants. Race suit needed if you do state rounds. Crew is not essential, I usually run without one, and if you need a hand, there's always someone to help. Navigator is good, but if you don't have one, the club will often help you find one. Rallying is as expensive as you want to make it. So far with the Excel 6 tyres have lasted 3 events, and have another 3 or 4 in them. Either of the Corollas and a pair of rears go in about 90kms of competitive.

I could very easily be convinced to sell mine ATM for $7000. Turn key, nothing to spend. Go rallying tomorrow.

Welcome to aviation. Happens all the time.

I think I've posted these on another thread before, but I still could watch them all day. Tex Johnson "selling aeroplanes" http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=-vHiYA6Dmws And the great Bob Hoover. http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=9ZBcapxGHjE

Because nobody should have to go through life without hearing a Tom Lehrer song.

Gday, and welcome to rollaclub. A couple of handy hints for you so that your time here will be well spent. The main one is make your posts readable to anyone over the age of 25. SMS speak is a pain to anyone not used to it, and as older people are more likely to have the answers you seek, you're excluding a large slab of experience when you do so. Spelling and punctuation are your friends. The other one is search and you shall seek. Many topics have been covered before. The rides and projects threads are a wealth of knowledge, and if it's not covered somewhere in there, then it probably can't be done. Try putting more info into you post. We can make many different suggestions, but if you only have $300, not many of them will be practical. You have to keep in mind that we get asked very opened ended questions like yours about once a day at the moment, so if you don't have a think about the questions you ask, you're not going to get answers you're happy with.

I have two children. I no longer have spare time. :wink:
