Well the cars been running well. So far(ish)
Get thrashed, hahaha, love it! Leaves a smile on my face.

Anyway: Losing my license. Coming back from the Mont24 at sparrow hill. Not even doing anything stupid. 119 in a 110 zone, overtaking.

Another issue. Passengers foot well seems to be a little damp? Also had smoke/steam come out of my aircon vents at one stage (recently) it has now stopped but aircon still works fine. Seriously wtf happened?

Also I needed to us some film and finish a reel before getting it developed, unfortunately my car is FILTHY and UNCLEAN, so ashamed o myself.

Was the mont good? I would have killed to go but couldn't make it this year. How many were in your team?

That really sucks about your license it will be back before you know it. You really can't get away with anything being on your reds. Maybe look into taking it to court. A friend got caught doing 136 overtaking a semi on his reds. Took it to court with a sob story on how he was still inexperienced and needed his car to get to uni etc. well he got his sentence and fine halved...

Passenger footwell could be one of two things.. Your heater is on the way out, or the little drainage thing from the bottom corner of the windscreen is blocked wth dirt and crap. I got lucky, mine was the latter.

As for the water in the footwell, I dare say its the heater. expensive to fix?


Mont was amazing, FULLY reconmend it! I'll be back next year! Team of 6, 3 of us was SS'ers (including me!)

^^^ This is despite me crashing twice, doing a lap which was actually 1.5laps, and other varied incidents.
Saw a blue mk5 r32 (4door I think) there as well. Was that anyone on here?

Rocking it at the mont babbbby!



Team Photo. There is most of the 2 teams I was with. BMU 1 (4man) and BMU Bandits (6man)

Well now I don't rock any P's
Saving for some GL404 Thule roof racks, Pro/FreeRide Bike carrier (x2) and a 555 fairing. OMG, where are all the 555 fairings! GAHHHHHHHH!

In other news I still need to get onto getting a front lip, and some other stuff to get fixed up. Def's going to hit up a sound system at the end of this year.

Good luck finding the 555 mate! You can still buy the 871XT fairing new from the US/Canada. Keep an eye out on eBay, there are a few sellers who offer shipping to Aus and they are very reasonable and quick
Any idea on the part/model number for the bike carrier? Ill be looking for one myself soon!

[Dubdubdubdot]

Is the 871XT fairing like the 555 or it the smaller (less cool) version?

In terms if bike carriers, I'm going thule once again.
Tossing up between the ProRide 591, OutRide 561 and the Freeride 530. Just wieghing up the pros and cons, I've got three months to decide (suspended lisence).

Gotta decide between downtube clamp, or front wheel off, and fork mounted really. Problem is the fact I have a variety of style of bikes and that will probably increase over the next year or two!

[Lorenz]

The 871 is a smaller version compared to the 555, but is still cool none the less!

the heater is cheap if u dont need it....pull off the 2 rubber pipes on firewall and bypass heater by inserting a copper pipe,\
reclamp etc (not ok for pink slip though)

As for the duckbill u may like to improvise and use a 96-98 Cordoba one
-I can bring one dwn for ca $90 next weeek...has vents and easily selftaps onto car.
just email for pics
