don't get it either :bash: Well didn't see a cent from the last hand out - would of been sweet with 3 kids.

Congrats. Hope you have both hads lots of sleep before this as sleep will now be a luxury :bash:

Any problems if I pass this onto the careers guy at school?

first 5k cost me $800 from an import wrecker 10 or so years ago. Second 5k cost $100 but it needed a set of bearings.

Different stroke. 4k crank will go into a 3k but it is a lot of stuffing around sourcing conrods to suit and grinding out the block to clear the crank.

Luckily (if that is the word in this situation) it is highly unlikely that he knew anyone from the fire area. If he did, nothing was recognisable anyway. His words - a lump of brown stuff sitting in the drivers seat.

sad but so true. Keeping an eye on a kid at school. 17years old and at his first major bush fire and he is finding dead bodies in cars. Hell of a thing for anyone to experiece, let alone someone who hasnt finished school yet.

Any signwriter with a vinyl cutter can do it. We even have a cutter at school.

From another forum.

Your showing your age Red, ride comfort...............:dance: Then again, I made the rear on my 20 softer by running a leaf pack with only two leaves.

We have had that shit up here all day too :dance:

The year 12's at school organised an out of uniform day/snag sizzle to raise funds. Up to lunch over $1000 had been raised. The lunch sales were to be added to this.

"Yep, the rear bar takes away drive out of corners (unless you run an LSD or locker) and makes the rear of the car more nervous in the wet. Like coln72 said, when cornering hard the rear bar will unload the inside rear tyre. Years ago I used to have a ke30 2 door and fitted an aftermarket adjustable twinned front bar and rear bar. Think the add-on front bar was a Selbys and the rear Kmac. I took the rear bar back off as it handled MUCH better on all the rough country bitumen and dirt roads I drove on." Sonds like the set up I had on my KE35. Std front bar piggybacked with an additional bar that came off a Mazda and no rear bar.

The layers will argue that there is no way that anyone charged with arson for these fires will ever get a fair trial as they will not be able to find people for the jury that are unaffected by this. For those in Vic, remember the bullshit about not showing Underbelly. They thought that this would effect the jury - hell what do they think that showing the fires full on on the news will do to the potential pool of jurers????? I agree - string them up in the middle of all of the affectred people and get the police to turn their backs for 30min.

Talking to a volunteer that returned from Kinglake on Tuesday, and he said that there were three suspected arsonists living in the area. The whereabouts of two are known, but the third has not been seen............. :)

I ended up removing the rear one I had because without a LSD of locker it had too much inside wheelspin. And when I had a locker, it had shit loads of oversteer - like power oversteer in third gear when I was autocrossing.

Not 100% but I think I used one of those plugs near the coil to connect up the tacho on my KE35.

Don't hold your breath waiting for someone to be charged with arson as unless the person is caught with the lit match in their hand it can not be proven.

"Mainly for Col: I spoke to Batch today, he's fine and got out early with his ute and wagon. He believes his house is gone and his 25 to now be really, really light weight. He's already organising to put a bus on the block to live in. " Thanks for the info Rob. I was wondering if he was still in the area or not. Glad to hear that he is ok. Shame he didn't leave his ute and save his 25 :cool: Also Rob and Kangaroosa, its a relief that your family and friends are alive to rebuild their dreams.

As someone who remembers Ash Wednesday vividly - 100+kms from fire front and still getting ash and shit dropping in the yard - yesturday scared the shit out of me. The fires got to within 1km of the Bendigo CBD. I am just thankful my old man has retired from being a district mechanical officer for the CFA as he would have been in the thick of it, as he has been for every major fire for 30 years. Words can't describe the help that all the firecrews, support staff, police, ambos, red cross etc provide is these situations. "The worst thing is there is nothing we can do.. " WRONG, WE CAN GET OFF OUR COLLECTIVE ARSES AND JOIN OUR LOCAL BRIGADES SO WE ARE THERE NEXT TIME. And to the guy on the news that was complaining about lack of fire trucks - crews are banned from going into areas that will place themselves at risk. If there is only one way in and out then trucks shouldnt be in there.

They engine will run even if the soleniod wasnt connected (my experience anyway). Not well but it will run.

For a roadie run a resonator and a muffler - 2" is a good size. On my KE35 ran with a resonator and a 2" in twin 1.5" outlets (think XU1 Torana). Looked and sounded good after I bashed out some of the baffles :2thumbs: On my KE20 club car tried heaps of different exhausts. The best one was a straight through 2" system that went under the diff into a small muffler and a 3" droopy out the back. Lots of comments re. "has it got a rotaty in it. The biggest bend was where it bent around the firewall. Latter on I went to a more conventional over the diff system to gain ground clearance. Wasnt as good though :cool:

hydrolics will go further than 6000rpm by the way.

I actually liked the old mother too. Only drink Mother as it is the only one available at my second job and after a full day yelling at kids I need a boost. Actually got the shakes after drinking one too fast.

And be prepared for the shock when they quote he price........
