Cruise??

Hey all, still stuck in Darwin for 6 more days, then 9 days on the Gold Coast. BUT, when we going for a spin??? Im so over the "laps" style cruising in Newcastle, I wanna get out and have a real blat!!!! I gotta fix my front right rim first tho, wont take long...

dunno....

gotta get my coolant leak looked at first...and pretty busy with all that's happening at work atm.

will see.

Coolant leak?ick! Had a cracked radiator in mine, cheap fix, kinda, and have had a water pump go, thats a nasty one... Good luck wth it.. oh, and peeps, sorry I'd been in such a purely shit mood lately ok..:( Things are all good now!

its a new radiator. Only had it 6 months, but I'm sure I heard a clunk noise like something fell off the other day, but couldn't see anything when I jacked her up the other day. It's only a slight leak, but still gotta get it fixed though. Plus I've got a new water pump also :p

might jack her up later..but gotta go buy a new jack first.. the one at home is out of gas, and doesn't put the car up high enough.

have a real blat? you mean try real hard to keep up ;)

OMG!!! I so smash your car... when your handbrakes on... lol. Im actually gonna turn my sub backwards open the hatch and whip ur butts with my BDP... (Bass-Driven-Propulsion) :D Nah Im just over this shit, turn up, park, do nothing... nobody wants to go for a run in Newcastle, no 160, 180's down the highways etc....

hehehe...it will be harder for you to keep up now, as I am getting better throttle response since I lightened the flywheel also :p

you forget my subs are back in my car, and my 2 10 inch ones can get pretty dam loud if need be. I just don't wanna blow my ear drums off :p

too many cops around for that now! I want to keep my license, besides it would take the crx 5 years to get to that speed :p

:cry: You are so cruel!!! LMFAO!!! I've been SOOO good lately, only hit 200 ONCE this year. :)

I need a crossover for my amp so I can run the 6x9's properly..

OH!! Remember Brad?!?! He's in the gulf right now, thought that was worth a mention, and he returns home on the 1st of May, which Im hanging for, we're gonna be getting trashed one night at an Irish pub in Newcastle, and think we'll do the same thing in Sydney the next weekend!!! :D

But yah, gotta save up a deposit for a house to buy, then I get money from the RAAF for furniture etc so will put some of it towards a savings fund for my engine swap... still dunno what I want, is B18 pretty much my best choice?? Cause its gonna cost me a fair bit anyway, why not get the best swap I can...

hope he comes back safe.

yeah I'm looking at buying another unit atm. well b series engine is the easiest swap, and if you can afford it b18 swap is better.

Turbo the ZC - best solution on 9lbs of boost as it will eat a B16 or B18

I wont be around, heading down to Vic for the hols and then doing a house move...

hehehe....so your set on the move Pete....you'll be closer to Deb, so I'll be able to pop in and say hello more often.

yeah..not sure on how soon I can go cruising as work is very busy and I've got my priorities :p

lol - so Jenny and I have a baby-sitter...??? :P:P:P

hahahaha....wishful thinking....although perhaps Deb would be interested :p

one sister is enough for me :p

But wont turbo = lots more $$$$?? And Id need to recondition my existing motor too hey.. Mind you, Id do that with a new engine if I was smart anyways right??? Anyway, money wise this is how it goes... I get deposit for my house, the RAAF gives me about $11,000 to $12,000 which gets taxed to about $8000 or so and Im taking a trip to Michigan. Where I have free accomodation so thats not gonna drain me.. so I'll have a bit to play with.. and I already have a table, chairs, bedroom full of stuff, coffee table, not stuffed to get new tv, need a fridge and a washing machine and Im content for now... so I can use my money mostly for the motor... so probably best bet is to make calls as to costs hey???

well b16a priced anywhere from $1000 - 2000 on average.

B18c2 starting at around $2500.....BUT believe me, they are hard to find.

b18c5 (type R) minimum 5K - 9K.

plus don't forget installation costs, etc, probably need to get extractors done as well, don't think the factory ones fit..can't remember..

Go B16a, you won't be disappointed.
