just to clarify, the meeting place is near the mt pleasant yacht club, in ferrymead. not the ferrymead yacht club as it doesnt exist....haha

reminder this is tomorow! would be great to see as many people as possible. if you dont have something oldschool im sure there will be people happy to take you along fp=or the ride, i know id be more than happy to so 11am by the yacht club at ferrymead. if there is someone with half decent camera skills, would be great if you could bring along your camera and let rip. look foward to putting faces to the names

good man! will be good to see as many people as possible. i cant think of a better way to spend a sunday anyway....haha

yep 11am it is. so official details.... 11am at ferrymead yacht club, then follow route to lyttleton, then over gebbies pass etc see you chaps there!

shame you cat make it dylan....will have to catch up some other time and get you that 10 buks haha

going twice......

so far 11am over to lyttleton etc has the most votes. we cant please everyone so i say we just call it..... 11am at ferrymead yacht club.....going once

yes midnight

haha yeh 10 would be a tad early. picked my rims up from the machineist today. holy fuk they look good . gotta take them back to conrad to get the clear put over. might be pushing it for sunday i think as im headn up the mountain tomoro (hopefully) so wont get them dropped in till thursday....ah well. decided to keep the dish/lip as it is, ie satin machined finished as opposed to polished chrome. think it will look a bit better, not really after bling bling

ok leta make it later. ill make a poll with times and routes, ie over the hills to lytleton or to akaroa

sweet, anyone got any objections to 10am at the ferrymead yacht club?

sorted this weekend guys, dont forget!! have we confirmed time? maybe one of the people from the last one can help out here...... and meet at the ferrymead yacht club sound good?

all good man, have seen youve been going nuts on it

Wont know price until I take them back to get the clear done, hopefully early next week. going to cost me nearly what i paid for the wheels to get the dish/lip machined though...bit gutted but ah well, will look brand spankers. Hopefully will be in late next week to see you haha. I owe you big time. Just let me know if I need to cover costs etc, dont like scabbing off gc's ALL the time haha

picked rims up from powdercoatrer today and dropped in at eng place to get lips machined. should be done early next week, then back to powdercoaters for a coat of clear. hopefully can get that done and tyres fitted and balanced before the 2nd (chch os meet)

all good guys, have been in touch.

sweet thanks i put 2 inch ones in it and it may be too low....depends how much i can drop the front

the problem with that is i dont think ill be able to get the front as low as the back...so i kinda want to go as low as possible without rub

haha love it

thats far from ideal then isnt it....spose ill just take them into b&e

hey all have lowered the ass end of the cortina a further 2 inches, may be a tad low but is a bout right, might try get some 1 and 1/2 inch blocks. anyways, now the front needs more work, as it looks like im carrying a boot load of dead bodys around. the springs in have already been cut (not by me) and the struts are brand new and have been shortened to keep current springs captive. i was thinking of getting some mates to sit on the bonnet untill the front sits at a height im happy with, and then measureing the difference in height. this would give me the drop i need, obviously. now, ive been told that makita spec is better than compressing due to spring rate and sagging over time. is there a way to get the right drop by cutting? or is it hit and miss? i know that by compressing you can get pretty close to the exact drop you want, as the rario is approx 1:1. im going to need to get the struts shortened again either way. also, apart from things (tyres, steering components) hitting other things, is there anything i need to be careful of when lowering a fair amount? it will be about 2inchslower than standard. just wanted to clear a few things up before i start throwing money at it again cheers

good man. they at the powdercoaters now, dropped them in last week so yeh, hopefully done by the weekend. thanks again for doing those tires, big help

steering wheel looks sick!! haha glad its of good use

you guna turn up chris?

sweet as, ill do that now. will add as more reply
