It's a giant pain in the ass, been there, done that, but wow, sure works. It's all the shaking and rolling and rocking to make sure it coats everything that sux. I suppose it might be easier with a smaller tank, mine's about 60l.

So tiny update, new baby came along, haven't been out much, but did make it to Toyota Festival, pics from parade lap below. Getting a bit excited now, only a month or two till the exemption expires, and we get near summer, time to start looking at a bit of servicing and get her wof'd and reg'd!

I saw this, presumably on it's way home, on Sunday. Was like, wow, what's that? Thought it was a trekka or something. -
I'll be there, been once before, and it's quite good. Hoping to make it for the first flying session. hopefully if the little guy holds out I might be able to stay for the second too.

I'm definitely not gonna make it, but I hope y'all will say hi to Lenny (uza63) in his shorty version of my Celica!

edit : this was last month's. So no way I'm gonna be going back in time to attend! -
Hi all, looking for a bit of local knowledge. I'm going down to Flock hill on Friday for a wedding over the weekend. We're heading down with a toddler and a baby, so we're gonna gap it from the airport straight to the destination. Can anyone advise any GOOD liquor stores on the way, preferrably with a good range of true craft beer. We can't detour much at all, so really looking for something on or very near highway 73....

Are your tyres/rims wider than factory? Could that be exacerbating toe out on deceleration? I have no idea how one could calculate that likelihood. Also, are you able to run in FWD to eliminate rear drivetrain being an issue (I assume not.)

I should be there, with my little guy AND the Celica this time. -
I looked at renting an apartment right next door once, years ago. /lingpost

Go door mirrors, fender mirrors would look a bit weird, IMO. That said, some example pics might make me think otherwise.

I thought was you I saw on the side of the motorway, in my rear view mirror. Bummer. -

Oh dear..... Tried to fit child seat on the back of the Celica today. Fail. Evidently oldschool non-retracting seat belts are shorter than modern day ones. Should have test-fitted during the week. Now I've got to get a seat belt extension, and no chance of that before next week, so looks like I'll be driving the work car in and parking outside the main area -
Wow, great meet, glad to get a final one in before the next few months of new baby chaos! Great turnout. No doubt I'll see some of y'all at Caff & Classics on Sunday, otherwise see you octoberish!

Last chance for me for a while, so I'm down like James Brown! -
Been a bit useless with updates.... Hpc'd stuff is on, but I'll have to get some pics of the engine bay.... Made it to the OS Leadfoot trip, which was awesome! But a bit hot, especially with non-operational AC, so now I have tints! And also got a car seat, so when new baby comes along I can take my 18 month old out in it!
-
Done.
-
Fuck yes. Baby date is locked in for 30th ("elective" c-section) so barring an early labour I get one final OS meet in before the new baby chaos begins! Woot!
-
I better be at this one, as it's unlikely I'll be able to make any for the first half of next year.
-
Am happy to head a south side pre-meet, if I can figure out a suitable location. Open to suggestions..... Somewhere Manukau or East Tamaki?

I'm out, see y'all for the Christmas edition!
