When are we having another wash meet?

[leebutts]

well i turned up at bout 7.45 and no one was there! i'm pretty sure i went to the right carwash.... sigh....maybe next time

I was parked at the car wash from 6:45 till about 7:30 then drove down to the sound off, because I thought no one was coming

Did you come down there for a look?

cheers

Lee

p.s. Kevin you should have used my tripod, those pics are crap

 

[leebutts]

Also, if the ride height of my car makes a little bit of sick come up, see this thread and give me some money to buy some coilovers

I had a drive round Burleigh afterwards but didn't bother going to autobarn cos it started tipping down with rain...AGAIN. so I was boring and went home. Was the sound off any good?

I'm not really into car sound but yeah it was quite interesting. Standing next to a 160DB car is quite an experience! I was too chicken to stick my head inside it lol

 

[Bennyboy]

well, we'll have to arrange another one soon when the board isnt down and when the weather is better that way there will be no excuses. Hopefully by then i'll hav sorted my EBC out aswell...sigh...

Hey ! Dont blame my pictures for your car eh! ha ha At least SOMEONE brought a camera!

- I must agree Lee...those 12 inch wheels don't look to good on the car...ha

 

[Guest]

yeah your pics really suck Kev! =P

 

[Guest]

Yeah Kev ... Lee you should have stuck your head in , it's a whole other experience.. P.S still don't have my new car back, turns out to be bent valves so looks like another two weeks and $5000...ouch!

 

[naughtika]

Owwww! Guess that price you got it for was too good to be true!

 

[VR4Rocket]

Owwwweee! Yeah I would tell the guy you got it from...you know where he lives eh! The VR4 crew can drop around......how do you bend the valves?

 

[Guest]

Out of my pocket i'm afraid...the previous owner as nice as he was is not willing to cough up any money because of how far i bargained him down.

 

[godzilla]

That sux balls Benny! I would have thought bent valves would have to show some symptoms? If so then old mate would have been aware of a problem.

 

[Guest]

It just had an ever so miniscule misfire occasionally but figured it was because it wasn't driven for a year.

 

[Caveman]

Sorry to hear that Benny.

Pity, as the apart from that the Jag looked to be in great condition.

$5K sounds a bit steep for some valve work though (unless other damage has been done).......you could get a whole engine for that price......with a supercharger.

 

[VR4Rocket]

Get a leggie engine....ha ha ha

 

[naughtika]

Get a leggie engine....ha ha ha

not a bad idea.. more space for larger turbo.. LOL RWD too..

 

[Caveman]

Get a leggie engine....ha ha ha

Didn't he have a spare one down the side of his house.

 

[naughtika]

its gone.. thrown at the tip.. besides it was missing some parts..

..like fuel rails, 6 injectors, front rocker cover, plenum & throttle body and harness.. LOL
