4ABHGE

mate, if i my car was running... :(

car looking great duy, can't wait to hit the tracks again with you soon!

+1 :)

Today I fitted the Whiteline rear sway bar, and man what a difference it makes! car handles really well now even with it being a touch too low and with rubbish tyres on. best mod, really happy with it and recommend it for any FWD car :D

All was great until i was finishing up my test drive and blew my head gasket again on the way back.... ripped the head off it and here is the damage:

It holds a new record: its been on the road for about 7 weeks which beats last time :P haha

Put the new sway bar in. Drove the car for a bit handled like awesome sauce and then the engine popped. New record: 7 weeks.

^^This guy... haha

And heres a few of mine of the AE82 VIP corner :D

Jo, I cant see a build thread for your car... so ill dump this photo of your car here :)

Heres the rest of the pics of the meet: https://picasaweb.google.com/113432889999220868273/CarsCoffeeDonuts2012AutobarnEpping#

I didnt get any snaps of your car but i came across one on rolla club. Car looks sweet, pics dont do it justice...

First of many from the TCCAV meet yesterday :)

This gives me a hint of how to do the long sweeping in Winton, my car should be set up not to spin in that corner when my foot is left off the gas

If you can use your left foot to brake through there you can carry alot more speed and have better balance as you keep the front pulling you around the corner but the brakes stop you from gaining any speed, hence eliminating understeer or oversteer. It works for me :) but with that said, my mate has an RX7, formula Vee and a Westfield and he says in all 3 of those cars its a completely different corner. Its a tricky one thats for sure!

Good job on all this data gathering! :)

Good job on improving the power, its amazing what a few small bits on a turbo engine does to the output

Nice plates too!

Twins! :P

Damn you peter! Ive got other commitments and cant go f1 this year... shattered.

See you guys in the morning! :)

i reckon caltex off macintyre road on ramp sunshine ave at 8-8.15am. i'm coming but only for a little bit as i got family commitments on the day. might give my car a wash (if terribly dirty) before hand at the kealba car wash just down the road next to BP if anyone wants to wash with me/for me :P

Private number, I drove past the other night and saw all of you guys at the car wash there, I would've stopped over just to check it out but just wasn't the best night for me. too busy :(

im already calling sick for saturday lol !

Must be a bad flu if you cant work for 2 days!! hhehe :P

maang, i'd love to come and see these old school celicas like last time, but ive got work :(

call in "sick" ;)

The meet starts at 8.30am and is at epping.. sont blame me for trying to be there on time! :P

Is 8am late enough?

Hey guys, shall we have a pre meet in the west for the sunday morning tccav meet?

How about 7.45am at the corner of keilor-melton hwy and kings road. behind kfc, in front of bunnings?

Today I put in an AE92 driveshaft on the passengers side, from the same car i got the motor from and i re-polished my wheels :D

End of the day im not too fussed... the seat works and that is enough for me! :P

Jsut a warning about the bride seat, the ones made in thailand are still technically real Bride seats cause Bride Japan did not register the name, so its a fake but its real. The best way to check is the thickness of the padding and the quality of the sponge. ALso the Bride logo on the seat should line up perfectly, be slightly cut off or anything. It is pretty hard to tell though, I think the cusion part is the simplest. Car looks the goods, where do you drive to all the time for 800km to the country, drug runner?

Well my padding is great just not over 4 hour drives lol Mine are made in japan... so they're the original replicas of the fakes which are technically legit, but are actually better than technically legit ones? very confusion! haha My seats are the plain jane ones, so they dont have the bride logo going all the way up the cushions which doesnt really help at all. All i know is that they supposedly are made in japan which is good enough for me! ^_^

As for the road trip, this explains everything including the kms i covered and why i want to raise my ride height.....

...oh and also the moonshine in the back of my car ;) hahaha jokes.

Srsly tho, I went up to Albury/Wodonga for the weekend. drove up, drove around, drove back. :)

PM'd Philip!
