Ill start a list of who's coming and then everyone can add to their name what they want done.

Hey guys just wanted to make sure this was still going ahead. If so thought we might start organising times, directions ect.

Post by **I8A4RE** » Tue Feb 03, 2009 8:51 am

Yeah definitly, I say probably want to start this early say 10?.

Does everyone know what work they want done?

Jamie can you put up a pic from whereis or google maps of how to get to your place. Or let me know your address and ill do it.

10 is good

My address is 27 Hubner Drive, Rothwell. QLD. 4022.

The most simple way for people to get here from the south would be to head north up the highway and take the Nothlakes exit. Then follow Anzac Avenue untill you get to the round about near my place. Then it is just as simple as turning left at the round about and taking the first steet on the right.

Nice

Ok guys please put down what you want to get achieved cause i cant bring all my tools but want to make sure i have the right ones for the job

Jamie · Post by **Jamie** » Wed Feb 04, 2009 8:46 pm

Yeah I have had a change in plans. Couldn't find a set of HID's I liked for the right price.

Instead I will be changing my oil, tinting my tail lights, de-badging the bootlid and tinting the top half of my windscreen.

Also if I can get my hands on some carbon fibre for the right price(still looking) I will start a mould for some wide body guards.

whats the right price? $60/70ish a metre for 225g/m?

i think i can help with that if that's what you want... but i'll have check, i've left that on the back burner for a while now lol
and good luck getting your hand on strong enough cf as well, i reckon you are going to need 600g/m plus for what you need, and i haven't been able to find any in aus yet... the only ones i can find is 225g/m. might i recommend heavy fibre glass layered with cf and metal rings for where the panels would bolt on (composite is still going to be more brittle than metal

)
just my 2c lol

Oh yeah cause the gas bottle will fit nicely in the back

Welding is all about practice the more you do it, the better you get.

Angel eyes.....

Word of warning, DON'T do them on a DIY day.

If you must, make it the FIRST job of the day!

Well I've managed to get the day of from work but my job might be a bit on the large side, and I'd still need to order them if it looks like the job is doable.
I can borrow a floor jck, but apart from that I have bugger all in the tools department.
Spring compressors? anyone.
There is beer on offer for anyone that wants to help out with this job ^^

1. SImon - Angel Eyes Laughing power steering boot

3. Jamie - HID's Razz
4. Michael - HID's
5. Chris - lowering springs ???

If we're pressed for room @ your place Jamie, my place has plenty of parking, single carport under the complex + another large spot to fit 2 cars that never gets used..
'tis on Kangaroo Point cliffs, so loads of street parking, plenty of spots across the road & BBQ areas across the road.

just an idea .. don't mind driving out to your place though

Jamie · Post by **Jamie** » Thu Feb 05, 2009 10:34 pm

Should be enough parking space at mine. Also have a double garage so we can work on 2 cars at a time. Drive way should be flat enough to jack up cars if we need also.

I was also thinking about a BBQ. Could cruise down the waterfront have a BBQ and maybe take some photos ect.

I could post up some photos of my place if you guys want.

mr-charisma · Post by **mr-charisma** » Thu Feb 05, 2009 11:15 pm

cool stuff .. mini cruise sounds good
