  1. If you choose to go for the legnum, dont play with the tiptronic gearbox like driving a manual.

    Really stupid way to stop moving on the Harbour Bridge, and a replacement gearbox costs about as much as the car itself (so you end up selling the wagon for silly cheap money instead).

    Great times.

  2. ordinarily, doing that would be fine if done properly.

    only problem in your case, is the tank is inside the passenger compartment i believe? which is fine if it is factory, but as soon as you modify it, it has to comply with LVV rules- then you would have to seal the tank area off from the passenger compartment

    gotcha.  Yeah the tank is in the boot underneath a panel (similar to most spare wheel wells in sedans), the panel is held down with 3 screws, is this considered sealed by LVV standards?

  3. Hi all,

     

    The chevette fuel tank is pretty small (roughly 30L methinks), so I was considering swapping it for a slightly larger looking gemini wagon.

    Looking at the space under the boot tray, there is plenty of space for the gemini tank and then some.

     

    What are the rules/laws on expanding fuel tanks?

    e.g. if I get the tank split in half and get a band or box of steel welded in to make the tank bigger?

  4. great meet! couldn't believe how many showed up despite the shite weather.  

    Some truly gorgeous machines on display.

     

    Popped my CaliB cherry, very satisfying and now I want more... is that wrong?

     

    I think my mates may have been partly responsible for some of the mess, they shall receive a stern talking to.  Filthy smokers :P

    Such a good venue, would suck major balls to lose it because of mess.

     

    I can't remember who posted it but I like the idea of dailys downstairs, OS upstairs.

     

    I think it's great posting the meet up as an event on facebook so long as err'ybody knows what it's about, behaves themselves, and signs up to the oldschool website.  The more the merrier right?
