Who else would be up for a drive? Car will be spotless in an hour or so and it would be a shame to not show it off.
I'm in Richmond but happy to go for a burn anywhere. Anyone Melbourne-side without a life? (or at least without something to do tonight?) 
Late notice? What? |

Haha, I might and perhaps another member here too. He just sms'd me to ask probably because of this post. Could happen, I'm close to Richmond |

Yeah, might be a bit late now Ken. But we definitely need to tee up something so us Melbourne guys can get together in the not too distant future. |

We have an entourage of about 3, Could sure do with some more boys to do some activities and talks. My car goes in for a manual conversion next Saturday! Like big Kev used to say "I'M EXCITED!" |

What time are you guys thinking of meeting up on Sunday? I've got something on but if I can manage after, it would be great to meet up with you guys. I've owned my soarer for a year now and haven't met up with any of you. Pretty anti-social of me. |

We'll start early around 10am but we'll have another bbq while playing with the cars. We tend to stay for the whole day till it gets dark. So you're more welcome to come! |

Yeah I am down. If there is any problems I will email you my mobile number. So I will meet you at 11am in Southbank.
I probably won't stay for the BBQ, just come for a cruise and a chat.

Michael - that's good you're getting the turbos fixed. I have to wait on my 97 front bar now.
Also have a new airhorn + compressor needing to be hooked up. |

It was great to catch up with you guys on Sunday. I'll bring some things to do next time. I'm quite handy with LED's if you guys need anything custom done (Like Aircon Controls). 2x2 Cruise home on the Monash must've been a sight for the other motorists. |

Matthew, unfortunately I didn't have the pleasure of meeting you as I left before you arrived... but I need some LED Globes for my Stock 91 Tail Lights..... Richard pointed me in the right direction with www.superbrightleds.com/.
But any help would be appreciated.

Sorry for the late reply guys. I've done all the window controls, shifter position leds, trc buttons, and indicator lights on the AC Unit in my car. Some were quite simple, using the slot in replacement type LED bulbs that you can buy from http://www.bl-led.com.au/ While others required a bit more fiddly soldering efforts such as the shifter position indicators and the Aircon indicators.
I'm pretty sure I remember which globes are used where (T3 or T5) but you can check out what I've done on my car.
I don't know what the ignition barrel uses though. I overlooked that one. It will be going white or red on mine though. Would be awesome if it changed colour once you started the car..... |
