Was just pondering how many of us older folk are still on this forum. I was a part of the previous forum that crashed back in about 2004 from memory. Just seeing how many peeps are still on here from the previous version. I see many newer names and it appears that a lot of the older members have moved on..

 

I think i originally joined some time in 2003.

I joined the old forum about early 2004 from memory. Been round since.

[tinkers]

I’ve been around here since day dot and part of the original IRC channel

[Redslur]

Yeah I remember Matt when you joined the CTC club with Brett back in 2004.

[RallyRed]

Had no idea to be honest...but profile says late 2011. 

Despite the occasional words to the contrary by some, still the best, most reliable , un-offensive, non wanker Holden/Torana site on the WWW.

The suspension on the XU1 differs in that the mounting for the upper control arm is lowered on the crossmember. I don’t have the actual measurement but you are probably correct in calling it an inch.

There are two sets of bolt holes which indicate that the lower one was drilled somewhere along the production line.

The 1970 service bulletin notes as important the the upper control arm is always reinstalled in the lower mounting position.

I would confidently assume that it was for handling purposes.

From what I have read this mod can be carried out on any LC/LJ Torana
but I would check on that before you pull out the old Black and Decker and start drilling a few holes.

This was disccussed sometime ago on this BB with some pretty good and informantive information. Perhaps someone with Search capabilities could locate it and post a link.

I remember the old forum crashing and guess I joined around 2002 when I got this car just after attending XU1's On The Mountain with a mate that year.

 

But was a shadow dweller, just like I mostly still am (378 posts, when others have 1000's) 

 

Good info to be found, good help available at a simple request, and lots of entertainment provided in varied forms!

All free, except for some much appreciated hosting donations from time to time- bargain me thinks

[Redslur]

Certainly seen a lot come and go. So how many active members do we have now?

[purrlx]

Depends on active, on here pretty much every day since I have joined late 2011

[Ice]

When i first joined on an average there with would  have been 150 members on every night 

i think i saw it peak one night over 200 

Lucky if there is 20 members on here at night time now 

You can thank Zuckerberg for that

Can you access the forum from jail? 

[lcgtr1970]

I joined early 2006. Still get on here for a read a fair bit but young kids and life prevents too much free time!

[S pack]

Can you access the forum from jail? 

Brad, what have you done? lol

[hanra]

Im still on the outside. 

[Zook]

Some older members 'got moved on' Gez. Shame. Apparently we can't manage ourselves sometimes, and so need to be separated.

[Indy Orange]

2005 , still here.
