does anybody know if its harder or easier to do a car with a satin paint job? CHEERS Ryan

wasnt at the north meet. the main area was out back of west lakes, round near motorquipe. CHEERS Ryan

OK, got the new brake lines in yesterday went ok apart from needing a new threaded part that goes on the end of the hard line as the thread was rooted. bled brakes for the first time, dam hose exploded off the bleed nipple and got sprayed, NOT GOOD. got it all done just in time to goto the megacruise. swapped tyres front and rear as they are different profiles so now the front wheels don't scuff as much inside the wheel arch. calipers and rotors will go in sometime in the next week. pics comin soon. CHEERS Ryan

Yeah already got KE30 brakes on there atm, just got a pair of calipers and rotors for $32.50 of madmax7. scored the brake lines as a toolbox special from U-PULL-IT when i got a VL fuel pump for when Boris eventually goes into turbo guise. Yeah doin it yurself definatly saves shit loads, 32.30+$10 for brake fluid and $10 for a brake bleedin kit= $52.20 when compared to $836 i think the difference is a little more that a shit load :( CHEERS Ryan

will do, Got a quote to do the brakes form ABS. rotors need replacing, pads, overhaul calipers and replace flexible brake lines as one is bout to go pop. they want $836 for the above work and labour. got near new brake lines yesterday replacin them tomorrow.will eventualy get all the parts i need for alot cheaper. will get pics of what i done and the seats and a few more of the car. CHEERS Ryan

nah it seems like I'm sitting a little bit lower. but anyway, they comfy and better lookin than the last ones. :( CHEERS Ryan

yeah, will do. were all in and installed within an hour of pickin them up. VERY NICE and comfy. beats collapsed seats anyday :( CHEERS Ryan

More pics to come soon, got this one from Tally when he was thinkin of buyin it b4 i did. CHEERS Ryan

So, i take it as meet at either meet point at 7pm. this cruise should be better as my clutch is almost nonexistant and theres no hills so i should be able to keep up. CHEERS Ryan

Yeah what Tally said^^^ if we can get enough members come we could have a rolla only meet/cruise. i rocked up a bit late and was only there for about 5 mins before the group left. there was only 2 pre *E7* rollas on at the meet (none of them finished the cruise tho) need more earlier rollas on the next one. So Tally, U've seen my 25, hopefully you'll have yours out next time. CHEERS Ryan

Just had a look at that cross section of the RR FPR. from the way i see it all it is, is a boost variable valve. it bleeds off excess fuel pressure via the return line. as boost increases it puts pressure against the diaphram and moves the needle closer to the seat reducing the amount of pressure being bled off and increasing the amount of output pressure. I'm currently doing a machinist/ fitter and turner apprenticeship and using what i know i don't think it would be all that hard to make one from scratch. the hardest think to do is getting the boost/fuel pressure 1:1 and sealing it to stop boost and fuel leaks. I'll see if a can make one and let you know how its going. CHEERS Ryan

whats a F20c?? never heard of one before. just wondering CHEERS Ryan

Ok i this'll sound a bit dumb but how do you set the timing? Do you line up the timing mark on the timin cover and turn the dizzy round till the rotor lines up with #1 on the dizzy cap? never had to do it before but this seems like the way to do it. CHEERS Ryan

I think I speak for both Murderess and myself, WE DIDN'T :) CHEERS Ryan

SWEET, will try my hardest to be there. glad to see a nice relaxed cruise where boris can keep up. goo to see the money goin to a good cause. (just can pass up the offer of a free sticker is all). Hopefully see some of you there. CHEERS Ryan

Sorry guys didnt make it all the way, i don't even think i made it half way!!. couldnt keep up in the old 3k beast, plus the clutch is on its way out (Old Nortin summit Road, 4th gear 60kays and the clutch was slippin like hell) was following Murderess but then we both lost the rest of yas:(. I ended up cruisin thru the city and the amount of looks the rolla pulled (still wonderin why) was pretty amazing. I had a bunch of guys fightin over wether it was a datto or corolla. Oh well good to see a few cars out there pitty i couldnt keep up, MUST try harder next time. CHEERS Ryan

love your work 7shades, Keep up the good work. CHEERS Ryan

ROB SHNIEDER: Goes together like lamb and tuna fish. might try that one day. CHEERS Ryan

nah not gonna take the studs out. i'll grab a gasket for both flanges i need as i think it'll be easier to scan a gasket rather than straight off the turbo. If any body in adelaid wants the details of laser cutters i went to PM me. as i siad above we deal with them thru work and always do a good job. CHEERS Ryan

OK went down the laser cutters to get a quote. but they can't take a scannin of what they need to make for bolt holes beacaus the studs are still in. i don't really wanna take the studs out and then have to be put back in. So does anybody know where to get turbo gaskets in adelaide that are pretty inexpensive. Oh and talked to my mechanic that did all the mech work on my ute and he reckons its a good idea and should go well and plus it'll be a bit of learning for me. CHEERS Ryan

yeah the one i seen was at collanades shoppin center parked in the on stree parking just across from the train line. will keep a look out tho. CHEERS Ryan

Umm pretty sure its called Ricecream or somethin like that. dad makes it still but with cream instead of milk tastes pretty good :D CHEERS Ryan

as a kid, well still a kid but when i was yonger i used to make nacho timtams (timtam base, salsa topped with grated cheese) hmm come to think about it i could go one now, nah, maybe breakfast today. Timtam slam with orange juice. tomato sauce on timtams come to think of it i was a bit of a tim tam kid. Oh and Vegimite tastes shit no matter which way its served. CHEERS Ryan

I assume that the KE2X and KE3X use the same bulbs as they're different dashes. CHEERS Ryan

PM sent this morning, hopefully all will go well and all i'll have to do its the big flanges. CHEERS Ryan
