Rod Millen 'legend' was a visitor too.

That L Gooding fella spins quite the yarn if you talk to him.

Re: RX7 am I the only one wondering whom Gary and Tim are? Rotary Mazda circlejerk going on hahaha

Block is done. Internals and head are all there just need to set aside some time to assemble.

I'm thinking to design some slides as then I can design them to fit hardened tracks and needle rollers, pipe dreams haha.

Whats in store for the Cortina?

Top work dude, car looks tidy in orange.

Using this as motivation for my 1600 upgrade sometime.

Then and Now

Full tube frame is illegal in most drift competitions (FormulaD, D1GP, D1NZ etc).

FormulaD still has a ban on ute chassis too iirc.

It is blindingly obvious what Michael does for a income with that car.

So many frivolous stickers ruining the concept.

The Auckland Monthly Meet!

Wednesday 21st September

Second-to-last Wednesday of every month

7:30pm onward

A chance to catch up with fellow club members, talk some shit and eat some lush foodstuffs.

Burgerfuel, Mexicali Fresh, Ajadz, Subway, Doolan Brothers etc.

corner of Robert St and Hurst St, Ellerslie

See map.

The DEAL$:

FREE Drink with Burger and Chips Purchase

(From the COKE range , excluding mini burgers)

FIRST MEET??

If you are new to these meets here are a few points that may help; Most people usually show up between 7:00pm and 8pm ish. We roll down to get burgers and whatever else is available whenever we're hungry. We sit around either at Burgerfuel or back up top in the carpark and continue the yarns. Remember its always a casual affair, a place to yarn to mates and make new ones. An Oldschool car is not required at all, but if you've got one on the road then bring it and show it off!! Doesn't need to be flash or special.

And to be honest, many of us drive our boring modern daily drivers there anyway. 

MOST OF THESE ARE COMMON SENSE. WE WILL PROVIDE A FEW GENTLE REMINDERS WITH THE NEW RULES BUT REPEAT OFFENDERS MAY BE ASKED TO LEAVE.

RULES AND THE BORING STUFF!!

Basically these are in place so we have a fun and friendly meet and leave the carpark clean and tidy like we were never there.

• Take your rubbish away with you or put it in a bin, Use the public bins downstairs not the private ones belonging to the business up top
  
• Smokers please don't dispose of your butts on the ground!
  
• Please limit the ALCOHOL consumption. Its a public place and the Police/security regularly stop in and we don't want want anyone getting in trouble, We also don't want people leaving empties around.
  
• You are welcome to invite a few mates, but please note you are 100% responsible for their behaviour
  
• If you belong to other clubs and feel they might be keen to come check out our meet then that's cool but please see BDA780, Threeonthetree or 73crownwagon for permission before inviting them.
  
• NO Skids or Reckless/Dangerous driving
  
• Please leave a space near the fenced off area clear for the cleaners and don't block them in if they are there.
  
• Park in a proper carpark! If its full then just use a bit of common sense and try not to park to many people in.
  
• Newschool cars please park to one side and be prepared to move if we get short on space. I have had to ask Newer cars to move and park elsewhere and will continue to do so. The old cars get first preference for parking. Don't be offended if you're asked to move your newer car to make space for something old.
  
• If its raining and we have to park downstairs then new cars park upstairs or out of the way. The covered carpark is very small and needs to be OS only,
  
• No unregistered aircraft in the parking lot
  
• No daywalkers (including Dave)
  
• No gang colours / patches to be worn or displayed
  
• No pants with a fabric proximity of less than 5mm either side to the wearers legs
  

If you have any suggestions or input for the meets then PM Threeonthetree, BDA780 or 73crownwagon Thanks!!

That's the messiest formatting I have ever seen in a post.

Come to think of it all your posts are messy.

Is it a Linux problem?

Just saw this listed on the content on the bottom of another listing. They want $9,500. Hah.

Someones been looking at Alfas on trademe haha.

Revell make the worst kits.
There is so many of those clear plastic kit rotaries on eBay, albeit Entex kits.

What NZ would have if Mazda pulled finger and made a single seater series instead of Toyota:

He didn't have to reheat them he mentioned they work hardened from transferring power.

The difference in hardness in the core will be due to induction hardening only hardening up to ~4mm deep. Which when done wrong explains sentras failures (crack propagation etc).

They used some 4140 (or similar) for the shaft and appeared to have had some heat applied to the bearing journal position and the spline. Hmmm. I bet i know whats going on in there and - friggin clever! But what I was seeing in my head as he was explaining stuff is different than what i see in my head reading the stuff said by vvega.

I used to induction harden 4130 and 4340 axles along the spline at Heat Treatments. 2767 is another alloy but more expensive.

While not an official oldschool event Caffeine and Classics is generally popular for many oldschoolers and general car enthusiasts.

Wow what a race.

Saw 50% of it before falling asleep haha. Does anyone have a link to a replay that Bernie hasn't killed yet?

Seeing as the previous owner paid for the tune when it was their car, isn't it the previous owners decision to request unlocking it.

"Cartech 12a Hy-Therm turbo setup with TWM IDF throttle body and EFI goin in. Modded car has a third gen front air dam, '95 MX-6 rear wing, and TSW VX-1's as a nod to the '95 RX-01 concept car."

I wont say in case I do have to go further with it. PM me if you want the details to avoid them tuning a vehicle if you are wanting someone who doesn't lock their tunes. Reading a few ECU forums it appears a lot of people will avoid tuners who do this for that reason alone.

All good. No need my old man tunes vehicles.

Can you get Link to unlock it?

Whos the tuner?
