Everyone is invited as per usual :)

We'll be working on the cars in the morning, so if there are any outstanding things you'd like done then please post it up. So far we've got a couple of brake pad changes planned and an oil change, nothing too serious.

But just as important, there will be food and drinks in the evening because it is my birthday on Friday. This time however (changing from last time!) it will be a BYO primarily so that people might stop sooner if they have paid for the drinks themselves. In saying that, I hope that Joanne and Jess are sober drivers again, watching Kenneth and Dave get drunk is always fun :D There are also 5 spare double beds here, so a number of people can stay if you are too drunk to drive home :D

Drunk playing of pool and car racing games will be encouraged of course, and the pool will be waiting for anyone brave enough.

Kenneth

We will be rock climbing until about 3pm, but if we haven't already got anything organised for after that, we should be there.

I should be over sometime around midday... have some shocks to get changed over :P and will help out on other cars where I can!

I'll bring my axle stands and trolley jack over so we can work on more than one car at a time - remind me on Friday to bring them :)

Joanne

If I can find a place that has CV boots in stock yes, I rung ADL the other day but they had none in stock and had to order some in from Japan.

I will be heading up that day so I could stop in? Sorry if its a dum question but are the gearbox and diff oils an easy job?

bradc

Of course you can Zal. How long are you up for?

The oils are fairly easy, basically it is 3x the same thing, undo the bottom plug, wait 5 minutes, then put it bak in, then fill from the top.

Rung Appco, they have no idea what part it is - asking if it's a "tripod" etc... so ADL are going to see if they can find me a CV boot, and if they can't then they will tell me where I can get one on short notice...

Will see you guys tomorrow :P

If you are going to do the shocks it is only a small stretch to do the CV boot at the same time that all the suspension is out of the way.

That's what I thought :) got a CV boot from ADL in the end... it's slightly longer (10mm) and apparently slightly wider (5mm) on the shaft end, but the CV end is the same... so going to pick that up tomorrow :thumbsup:
