Bugger.
I'm getting grumpy with all the missing out.

What's next Evan?

Pic look great, love seeing 'em used !

[Evan]

Cheers. The 17's with r-comp tyres don't fill the flares like my street tyres do, but they handle heaps better so they go on for events.

First gotta attach that hand brake cable that has been hanging down for the last 2 years. lol

Next, im not sure, looking at the calender, i miss a few events cos of being away. Darren was saying that the 2 day superkhana is about $1200 to enter but is a good event to be in.

The April 28 event looks good but i think i remember something about the Mrs wanting me to go on holidays with her. hmmmm I Had better confirm.

I think i missed a few events and a collie one too. So ill add them onto the calender early next week and have a look.

[dattoman]

I still own dattos

But lately I've just been playing with myself and not the cars

[ozyozyozy]

gday evan, when you next head up to wanneroo, if you can give me a pm please, prob come up for a look or run in a few weeks.

[A9X]

OOOHHH, 2 torries on the track.

May have to drag the Hatch out of the shed.

[Evan]

Good to hear ozy!

At the moment my Swing has changed around from above. Just wanted one weekend off and now the whole bloody thing has changed. lol

The june 6 and 12 tuning days i will be home for.

I will be putting in the new 355 in on the 18th of may. So "should" have it all running sweet and problems out the way by the end of the week and then im back to work. I get back home on the 2nd of june , so still a bit of time to iron out any probs for the 6th or 12. Or maby both.

Daves car should be track worthy soon too.

Gotta dust off the hatch and come for a lap Welby. Would be sweet to have a few torry's screaming round the track.

Good luck in the classic challenge on the weekend Ozy.

Ev.

[ozyozyozy]

along with my off sider, we finished 3rd in class and 9th outright at classic challenge in an mx5 againest a hord of evo and wrx`s.
need to get my beast onto a dyno to check fuel mixtures, but shld be able to make the saturday tuning day, in june. shld be a ok by then.
hey there datpsi, where can you find out about the collie sprints and hill climbs? heard its good fun.
And mark, its not might have to drag it out of the shed, you WILL, haha. webers look #uckin sick.

[A9X]

Good work mate.

Targa next !

Working hard on getting the car right, but lots going on at work that is keeping me out of the shed. I'm a bit drained at the mo and need a break.

I've got some bits coming to help out and i'm sure we'll be running soon.

[ozyozyozy]

i know how it goes mark, gets a bit like that at times.
dont know if dave has told you targa is out for me, few things getting out of hand, still bit too much money for me to spend. so ill work towards next year.
If you need a hand that weekend let me know and il be there.
jst had the car on dyno, fuel mixtures good, more timing feels nicer down low. and for those that like to hear hp no`s. it made 346 at those round rubber things.
june 6th tuning day at wanneroo is looking real good, want to get there do some shake down runs, get used to the car again.

[Evan]

nice work ozy!!!
They are good HP figures too!!! Was that what you were expecting? and are you happy with them ?
Ill c how i go with making it down on the 6th. As per usual Murphy is hanging around with me getting this motor done!! But that has got to be expected.

Evan.

[ozyozyozy]

yeah im happy. more happy i can go beat up on it now haha. there was some small arguments at work over how much hp it might make, i won haha.

when it comes to building engines or getting them built, patience is the key. my car was only supose to be off the road about 3 months, 12 months later it breathes again. thats cars for you.

[Evan]

Good stuff with the power figures!
yeah i learnt about patients today.
Since i have had issues with the new motor, im leaving the current 308 in for a few more weeks and thinking of heading down to no limits next Thursday night. 28th.

Ev

[Evan]

There is still spots for next Thursday nite.
Would be good to see another torana on the time lists

Ev.

[ozyozyozy]

sorry wont be having a run, probably come up for a look. took the car for a drive yesterday (sat), clutch hydraulics shit themselves. dam gremlins. also noticed, since back on the road, iv got inconsistant fuel pressure, it is possible it was there with old engine as i didnt have a permanant guage in the system and now i do. already have parts on order, hopefully sort that out in next few weeks. still aiming to get to the track for the tuning day.
