Gary you bringing the MEAT????.......
Go on, guess what I'm bringing?
So is that like for me, or for sunday? lol
Gary, I hope you realise that the limit of my O2 sensor acquisition is just that, hooking you up with Mr T on the cheap, I'm soooooooo not installing it! Stupid stock turbo manifolds, grrrr.
If I don't have to much mess to clean up in the morning, I might mosey on down for a little while, providing ya'll don't mind a falcon in attendance as the soarer is well and truly off the road atm. |

Hmm well it looks like I might be struggling to make it as my car now needs to be returned to MV Auto's for some warranty work on Thursday. If they get everything sorted out and I get it back I'll come.
Still coming to the B'day Benny!
02 sensors... why not just get the bosch ones or is that something that's different on TT's again? |

Fluid leak since the shift kit and cooler has been installed. |

Should be a simple repair then? |

Hopefully it's just the gasket that's shagged, even though it i was replaced a couple of weeks ago... If not who knows, maybe the valve body is leaking, there's a problem with the drain back or something more sinister.
I'll find out next week and let you's all know.
But on a whole Shift Kit + Transcooler = Good buy. |

Which level kit did you get? I look forward to a ride with you when it's all sorted.  |

Was advised to go with a 1.0... so I took that.
Nice and firm gear shifts and chirpy wheels when you stick the boot in. |

Oh yeah it is... just have to exercise some some caution when you go around corners in the wet.
Shift Kit + Torsen + Rain = Scary fun...
V8 DRIFTO action!

As I said it's all dependent if I get the car back or not... and if it's pissing down with rain I think we should postpone.
Wizardry, you could call it that. I still haven't gotten around to doing my blue dash yet, yeah I know I'm slack.
I'll be organising a cruise or something when I get back from Brisbane as well, maybe end of June first week of July? |

Rain will definitely cause problems. 
We would just have to have a drift day instead.
Current Long Range Forecast suggest Low chance of rain on the day.
How about we make a decision based on the forecast available next Thursday. |

Sounds like a plan for sure.
We really need to find someone with a big shed for these days... |

I'll let you know a bit closer to the event, but at this stage it's all looking positive. |

I suggest we make Thursday the decision day based on weather etc, so if you and Ashley could confirm on Thursday also, that would be great. |
