Man I would love to go there one day. Have to admit got a soft spot for the 4AG-ZE (Supercharged one). Dropped one into a '76 Toyota Corona in my younger days, nice street sleeper. Surprised some Walkinshaw's (or UFO's we used to call them) with that one :)
 
Walkingshaw?? I don't mean to rain on your parade but I highly doubt that a 4agze would beat 1 if them. Not saying you beat it, but.. none the less.
 
Work (ok and maybe a little play)

Wouldn't mind adding a dedicated racer to the mix too. something small and light!


Love your Senator!! Where exactly did you take that pic? Near the new NBN building or the opposite side of Etihad. Id love to get a pic of my car there.👍
 
Some nice rides out there guys 👍

My ride about ten years ago

From 2004 I had this one but some old dude crashed in to me from the opposite direction, rolling me on my roof. :grumpy:

Must have been a hard hit rolling the car over.
That bike looks scary fast, and looking good... but no bikes for me though :P
 
Yes, it was a rather hard hit as you can see my back wheel on the left was torn of. I found it about 400m back. :sly:

Nice car you have there Kristof.
I'm also at 220.000km with mine now
 
Hi Marc.

Hope to have my Pajero up and running again soon, been sat in the garage with my Triumph TR7 for 3 years, you can guess why that is.

Fortunate for me I have a big strong son that is doing all the heavy work and lifting for me, I am just doing the clean up painting and under sealing of the chassis.

Here is one or two picture of the work needed after three years sitting and letting old man time take its toll.

Some parts are cleaned inspected repaired and painted, others are replaced with new.

Before prepped and after.


Had to make special tools for fitting of some parts as the waiting time for them was some 4 weeks or more to complete the job, this hub nut locking wrench being one of them.



As you can see did the job very well, easily handled the Newton meter pressure plus saved me a lot of money too.




Back end is now complete now with new boots fitted ready for our beautiful British winter weather, wet ,wet and more wet, snow and yet more wet.

Yes another wet day slowing progress.

Front is almost complete with new tyres for that ready to go on, then a full service on the engine bay.



Reset the bearing pressure on near side as I don’t think I had turned the lock nut far enough back to 30 degrees, now when using the spring scale test the wheel moves at around 2 pounds of force, showing no play in the bearings when testing.

Repacked front off side bearings, bolted new disc to hub using the extortionately priced new bolts, nuts and washers from main dealer, which you have to buy separately. Set the torque pressure on off side with my home made lock nut wrench, must say works like a dream, and remembering to turn back the lock nut a good 30 degrees this time and spring test.

Wheels on with new boots all looking good after 3 years sitting in the garage.


Phillip.

It's a real pig sti inside. :P
 
My favorite real car. My wife's BMW 325xi, w/ aftermarket Koenig rims and the stiffest suspension I've ever driven. My sweet-ass ride is behind: '04 Chevy Trailblazer! 👍

Our daily is same generation 3 series in the same color. I assume you have the sport package, which we also have. Suspension is no longer the stiffest I have driven, as the Coil Overs on the Challenger take that title.
 
I just got my Christmas present a little early but it took me two weeks to find it. It's the first step to building my V8 powerd miata.

but now the CF hood looks like this after a softball sized chunk of asphalt (i think) came over the freeway barrier while I was doing 65+ mph.

It aint very fast, needs paint, handles like a freakin tank, but it sure is cool to get all the thumbs up as we drive on down the road!

There's still a lot of work to be done, but she's almost there!

My car really isn't worth taking pictures of though. It's a 2001 Honda CRV, AWD 5spd.
 
Nice bike, sinkoman. 👍 I think I can read KINK? Those are nice. I do a little manualling and bunnyhopping when the virtual racecars start to bore. I ride left-pedal forward (is that goofy?). You?

Isn't that depending on if you are left footer or no? I ride right-pedal, i think because my best leg is the right one.

Thanks man. I put a lot of time and effort into my BMX builds, as i'm INSANELY particular about my setup, so it's always nice when people seem to dig it!

Yup, it's a Kink Issue with a 20.5" top tube, rides like a dream too. BMX was pretty much my entire life through highschool, and then a few years into the post highschool era. I ride right foot forward. Goofy in BMX terms normally means that you spin the same direction as your forward foot, as most people are more comfortable spinning away from it.

What sort of bike do you ride?
 
Heres my baby:

Vauxhall Astra 888. Number 51 of only 100 ever made! My absolute pride and joy. She's also just about to get a full detail from me today :)
