demuire Posted October 12, 2004 Report Posted October 12, 2004 Woo hoo, Hal booked in for cage to be made :) He's kindly offered to even pick up the car, however I'm sort of thinking with the condition of the diff maybe I should drive it up to him... Anyone free on Monday? I need a ride back from Namboor :) Quote
demuire Posted October 12, 2004 Author Report Posted October 12, 2004 Oh WOW. Just checked UBD, Nambour is a long long way away... Maybe I should get the car towed there instead? Hmm... Quote
demuire Posted October 12, 2004 Author Report Posted October 12, 2004 Hmm, oh well guess I get to put my ear plugs to good use then :) I wonder if my diff will survive the trip? Hmm... :) I just checked Transinfo, there doesn't appear to be a train station in Nambour, only in Caboulture? Quote
irokin Posted October 12, 2004 Report Posted October 12, 2004 yay tilt train surely your diff will last? even if it doesnt you'll still have saved a few bucks on towing.... Quote
Peter Posted October 12, 2004 Report Posted October 12, 2004 Ok , now the important questions are out of the way give us some minor trivia fook, Like, Who's doing it and how much? Let alone if it is chrome-moly or cds Six + point? , intrusion bars, coming off your front towers, bolt in or fully welded. Phhhh, I know these type of questions don't rate against wether NamboUr has 1 or 3 railway stations or not( for the closet trainspotters) Quote
demuire Posted October 12, 2004 Author Report Posted October 12, 2004 Hmm, well there you go, there is a train station in Nambour... Yet again I haev proved that I am an idiot :) Irokin: You should hear my diff... I don't even know if I'm going to make it to Willowbank on Sunday! Quote
demuire Posted October 12, 2004 Author Report Posted October 12, 2004 Peter: Bruce from Nambour (can't remember his last name). Rob recommended him, and a few other people also did so I am assuming he's good. He's quoted me $1100. Simple 6 point, I am guessing it would be CDS (that's cheaper right?). Weld in, removable intrusion bars for legality. Harness bar included. I forgot to ask, but I am assuming he knows I need it to be CAMS approvable. Quote
Peter Posted October 12, 2004 Report Posted October 12, 2004 Ring Ring, Sound of fook making quick call to confirm it meets Cams specs. That sounds like a good deal fook, things will come around for you sooner or later. Quote
Medicine_Man Posted October 12, 2004 Report Posted October 12, 2004 My mate used to go to nambour for tafe, had to train to caboolture and then bus the rest of the way. Quote
demuire Posted October 12, 2004 Author Report Posted October 12, 2004 My mate used to go to nambour for tafe, had to train to caboolture and then bus the rest of the way. That's what Transinfo told me to do too, hence I assumed there was no train station in Nambour. Quote
Nitephyre Posted October 12, 2004 Report Posted October 12, 2004 to get to Nambour you can: A) Catch a Gympie train b) Catch a Caboolture train, then catch a connecting Gympie train to get home from Nambour you can: A) Catch a Roma St train B) Catch a Caboolture train, then catch a connecting Roma St train (/me quietly says I used to live in Nambour) :) Quote
irokin Posted October 12, 2004 Report Posted October 12, 2004 well we've heard it from the pro...so no futher discussion of that needed :) Quote
demuire Posted October 15, 2004 Author Report Posted October 15, 2004 Woo hoo, car is getting picked up on a tilt tray... Tuesday I think. Cage is CDS, built to CAMS specs including blue plate. Wow, that means I'm going to have 3 blue plates on the car!!! #1: engine, seats, front brakes #2: rollcage #3: rear brakes, diff Plate me up, baby :) Quote
irokin Posted October 15, 2004 Report Posted October 15, 2004 Each time you engineer the car you have to get another mod plate. So if Fook mod plated brakes and seats at one time, then the diff, and then the cage then he will have 3 :). My celicas got a mod plate, but if, for example, I did a brake upgrade then Id have to get another mod plate put in. Weather you can get them all combined onto one I'm not sure of, but heaps of mod plates in the engine bay looks cool :) Quote
demuire Posted October 15, 2004 Author Report Posted October 15, 2004 Umm, I don't know about "looking cool". Personally I'd much prefer to have ALL of them on one mod plate, but you know how it is... Irokin nailed it on the head. Everytime I get the something mod plated I have to get another plate. The first time I got the car plated, I had a stock diff, and I had stock rear brakes, and no hydraulic handbrake. So only the Landdcruiser brakes were put on the plate. So yes, even though both plates would have the same code on them (generic code for brakes), they will both pertain to a different thing. What this also means is that if I upgrade my front brakes again (to say Wilwood calipers or something) then I have to get ANOTHER mod plate for the new front brakes. One really silly thing is that as far as I know you're not allowed to remove mod plates, so even if those mods no longer pertain to your car, you still have to have the mod plate attached... Quote
