Crowie55 Posted December 16, 2010 Report Posted December 16, 2010 Great work mate good to hear about getting this beast up and running. how did you go with the roady? cheers, Crowie Quote
madKE35coupe Posted December 16, 2010 Author Report Posted December 16, 2010 well i will find out how it went tomorrow. the mechanic i deal with organised it all for me, including transport, so I'm not too worried. if i get the green light i would love to get it registered next week. does anyone know when and if queensland transport go on holidays?

Crowie55 Posted December 16, 2010 Report Posted December 16, 2010 Not that I know of, just Christmas and all the public holidays and weekends. Quote
madKE35coupe Posted December 17, 2010 Author Report Posted December 17, 2010 minor set back guys, they didnt pass it due to a patch of rust under the fuel cap. so need to get it fixed before i can try again, which wont be till next week. might have more to update this arvy. also does anyone have any experience with billet camshafts?

madKE35coupe Posted December 18, 2010 Author Report Posted December 18, 2010 guys who did the roadworthy forgot to mention that the rust on the sill under the left hand door was part of the fail :bash: so it needs to be plated. me and (I'm not going to call him my local mechanic anymore, his name is matt) matt are going to get that sorted on monday night, so we can get it back to the roadworthy guy, and hopefully down to queensland transport by the end of the week! a bottle of rum to fix the two rust spots is pretty cheap by my standards!
