Who's doing the PC/ceramic work for you? I've got a couple sets of pipes I made that need coating.

Ke70 To Vx Super6
I havent looked at a KE70 rack and steerign column too hard, But if you are having trouble with clearance, you could always add a few steering unis to get it to "bend" around what you need. Otherwise, the other trick is to offet the column (so redrill holes slightly over) and move the whole lot an inch whichever way you need to. obviously its a bit of work, but if it gives you the clearance to run of the shelf, or bigger pipes, it would be more than worth it.

What Grinds My Gears.
hahahaha. ewwww. WGMG: Adobe premiere pro 5.5 wont run on any of my computers (even though I run 4 different adobe programs at once on this work laptop and it apparently meets their requirements) So I download the GoPRO converter/editor software Think, GREAT I'll be able to cut and edit the footage with this! SORRY. it converts and then allows you to colour correct or exposure correct the video, then reexport back to mp4. OK, fair enough, but now its converted to AVI, Windows movie maker will do a quick nasty job. Windows movie maker loads all the clips, plays them fine, but crashes every ʞ©$ɟign time I try to start building a movie.... WTF! seriously! at this rate, I wont be editing any of the footage I get between now and november when I'll have the money saved to build my new PC to run all this shit. ʞ©$ɟing hell!

Sprinter Front End Conversion
Wasnt the AE92 sprinter the model with the shorter grille and inbuilt fog lights (in the headlight housing?) Also available from SA spec models? Just floating random memories here.

The V6 sprintcar guys are coming up with all sorts of shit to get more HP from their setups (sounds like similar rules to your class for black track) Angle milling heads, moving them over the get better valve positioning (in terms of the plug and ports Vs pistons) Changing rocker geometry (limited to standard rockers) to get more lift at the valve Lots of 1/100th type things that all add up in the long run to make a better more refined motor.

What Grinds My Gears.
I was more thinking the waterproof side was the main positive of the pods (locking too I suppose) its funny the difference a little thing can make, just with the carbra on the front of the wagon, we were using an extra .5-.8L per 100km compared to the driving we did without (on recent honeymoon) obviously the driving conditions are always going to vary and alter the exact figures, but from what I saw, the carbra definitely reduces the aerodynamics of the front. Those pods seem to be all the rage with snow season yuppies too

What Grinds My Gears.
I'm considering the fact that we might end up with one of those roof things (or towing a trailer on holidays) once we have kids. We've got a wagon (VE) but with kid/s in the back seat, dog in the rear cargo area.... it doesnt leave much room for luggage WGMG is this freaking rain. Go away! Twincam bathurst cruise is on sunday and I need to do some car detailing before then. lol

What Grinds My Gears.
Just about to buy a bigger TV (thnking 60") for the loungeroom (mutli purpose, movies, FTA TV, PS3 etc etc) and move the 42" thats there to the new shed. Also have a little 20 something inch to mount in the bedroom when I eventually run the cabling in the wall. Sometimes you need more than one TV I reckon, missus wants to watch garbage while I play COD, she can do it in the bedroom without having to do it on the laptop. And a TV in the shed is a must.... how else do I watch the V8s while working? (booooogaaaaaaaan)

Why Do You Think We Need A Govt??
And how do you know all this? Seriously, You sit and say how those who listen to media and other sources of information are all sheep, taking in what they are spoon fed etc etc. But then you read a few articles on the internet written by others who quote more articles on the internet that point to "conclusive" evidence that amounts to nothing more than coincidence and misrepresentation of facts and events. How many times can you actually factually check the dates, times, quotes, events etc etc that your "sources" point you to? The whole conspiracy world is just one big game (poorly played I might add) of Chinese whispers. If this ruling party of zionists really existed, do you think they wouldnt cover their tracks better? do you really think they would allow people to "find" the things they supposedly missed while carrying out their dick dharstadly style plots to rule the world? pulling the whole "thats what they want you to think, they live in the open so they can always deny" bullshit is just a cop out. These "people" arent omnipotent, they don't know everything that is going to happen and how people will react so there is NO WAY on gods green earth that they would know "hiding in plain sight" would ever achieve what they wanted to. All of the conspiracy "theorists" find patterns and connections in meaningless places and use them to form absurd, yet somehow (to them and their cohorts) "conclusive" evidence. I read a study years ago about apophenia and the regular individuals desire to find patterns and regularity in places where it doesn't exist. One example it used was "shuffle" or "random" playing on an mp3 player or CD player. While the playing of the music is never 100% random (it obviously works from an algorithm) the pattern in itself is too complex for the human mind to calculate. BUT we subconsciously believe that there is a pattern to the songs. How many times have you thought that it was only playing your favourite music, or only played a certain selection of songs etc etc. Its in our nature to find a pattern or coincidence in chaos. This is exactly the type of behavioural condition that breeds conspiracy. Trying to find some underlying pattern to world events, deaths, murders, wars, banks etc etc. If you were going to try and rule the world secretly... you'd keep it a secret, not lay clues along the line for a bloke with a fast internet connection and a off centred personality to find and piece together.
