Wakefield Park Track Day - Friday June 19th!!

Not true, your fundamental mistake is referring to Murphy as "he", when for sure Murphy must be female. Now raise your "pimp hand" and show that Celica who is boss Cause I won't be able to bail your ass out this time when your towcar fails!

Though a flat-tow with the "Corolla that could" isn't out of the question

Wouldn't that be an awesome site....the rolla, towing the wagon, towing the celica

and brendan, i called kyle up about it already, as we were gonna be driving down there together so it made sense to ask him first, but he's poorer than me atm

does goulburn know the mardi gras coming to town?

hmmm... possible showers. Hooray for breaking traction all the way down the straight.

Karl: Are you still ok to take some wheels down for me? they're at linden's ready for pickup wednesday night.

Failing that, anyone else got spare room for 2 wheels?

And just so everyone can breathe a little easier -
Replace busted coolant hose.. CHECK
replace sparks.. CHECK
Dodgily wedge coil pack in place due to breaking the bolt.. CHECK
oil change... CHECK

All that's left is to swap the racing pads in, do a brake fluid change, and she's ready to rock

Fixed Bommydoor alternator this morning...another coupla hundred i didn't really have spare

Just some stuffing around getting tyres fitted and the trailer to pick up and i should be ready to go....touch wood.

[The Witzl]

Justen - probably just the voltage reg on the bosch alternator. They are about $30 and 2 screws to replace.

EDIT - i suck for not reading all of thread. Damn a couple of hundred is a lot!


Draven - yes i can fit them on the way down, but will have to get creative to bring them back up to sydney. I'm collecting 4x MA61 wheels with tyres whilst down there, so space will become a premium.

interesting.....
Anyone going to sydney have room for ~2 rims?

You suck for timely advice

It wasn't charging so got a 2nd opinion from the trusty NRMA. His advice was a new unit so poped down to the local auto elec for an exchange unit...$230. Highest quote was $330 so at least saved myself $100 by ringing around.

So that's water pump, pullet tensioner and alt in the space of a coupla months....hopefully that's the 3 and the end of it for a while

PS didn't hear from Tom again so suspect the stress of it all has sent him on a bender

I will have space on the way down and up.

What size rim should I be looking for to fit track tyres to (one with a few tyre options)? And what tyre would you guys recommend for the occasional track day?

[MR22ZZ]

would the tyres be doing road duties as well, or are they for seperate rims? And for which car?

[The Witzl]

I'll chase up Tom... he is a slack bastard

[wagonist]

Ditto.
Got no noises in my car anymore
Helps when you decide to check the engine mounts are not just finger tight,
same with the left front wheel nuts.
Not quite sure how the suspension shop did a proper wheel alignment with the wheel nuts loose

Just got to sort out the clutch takeup & gear selection extreme notchiness.

I'll have some room - I'll be towing so there should be space in the Discovery or the Soarer.

Still trying to shake the end of a cold that had me knocked out last Friday but getting there. The Soarer hasn't needed to be touched since Phillip island but it does have a big hole in the roof where the 10kg+ sunroof assembly used to be. Lexan will be fitted tonight along with a shiteload of sikaflex looking at the weather!

Praying for a dry day though - my "wets" are a sent of Nankangs...

So that's water pump, pullet tensioner and alt in the space of a coupla months....hopefully that's the 3 and the end of it for a while

That must be the first time I've offloaded a car *before* the issues start! Normally I get hit with big repair bills just when I decide to sell.

Don't gloat or you'll be off my Xmass list

[1JZ~lux]

Tyres won't be doing road duties as I have to use light truck tyres on the road. Wheels will be fitted to a '94 Hilux 2x4, 300hp, stock suspension.

[JustenGT8]

Is Ed trying to sneak onto the list GT?
