Saturdays are always a good day to do things, Sundays you just want to relax because you have work the next day (that is if you work!) |

Quite often it involves people meeting to discuss fixing their cars, it also generally involves people actually fixing their cars too! In other words, bring tools 
Mainly it's about getting jobs done on your car that you may need help with, there's normally someone there that has done that job before and can offer advise etc. |

Fuel gauge MAY be an easy fix. If the controls aren't moving the seat (I've had 2 seats like this!) your best bet would be to find someone with trashed seats and see if they will part with the control module. Or get some race seats, lol. |

Yeah i did the fuel guage fix and it was ok for 1 tank, then it's cactus again. (when i took it out to clean it, it wasn't dirty anyway) |

I dunno if this helps but i had fuel gauge problems for a little while and accidentally filled up with some Ethanol (E10?) fuel somewhere and next time i filled up was back to normal. As for the seats apparently you can throw some S2000 ones in as they match up. |

Hey Everyone,
IF we get the soarer back on road we'll pop around. Got back from the honeymoon to find yet another battery dead, so bought another and just a couple of weeks later the air bag started to leak. At this point we've put her in the shed, locked it, and walked away. CBF'd with her at the moment.
So, if anyone has a spare front right air bag that they are willing to part with, please let me know.
Cheers |

I've got a few rattles coming from the rear of the car. I have a new exhaust so I no its not that, so i'm thinking its either the suspension or shaft.
Also, the right rear is very firm when hitting bumps as if there is no travel in the suspension. |

So we need to firm up a date and location for this shindig. We've ruled out the 22nd as it's the Norwood Food & Wine Festival. A number of members don't seem to be available on the 21st, we looked to the following weekend, being 28th of Feb or March 1st. Let's lock one in people then we can work on where it will happen. |
