ancullen Posted May 28, 2008 Author Report Posted May 28, 2008 Okay, I've only received entry forms from Shane and Stephen. Do I take it this is all I'm getting? That will be three cars on display, which isn't bad, but it's obviously not going to be huge. Quote

ancullen Posted May 30, 2008 Author Report Posted May 30, 2008 Let me know if you still want me to submit your entry form or not. If I don't hear anything within the next hour, I'll submit it. Quote
ae174agze Posted May 30, 2008 Report Posted May 30, 2008 i'd be compression testing it if i was u and driving hard puts belts and anything that drives off belts under strain so they let go with a boom Quote

ancullen Posted June 2, 2008 Author Report Posted June 2, 2008 Do remember that the 4A-GE is a non-interference engine. Timing belt lets go and the valves still won't touch the pistons. :bash: Quote
wasfishing Posted June 2, 2008 Report Posted June 2, 2008 i know it was the accesories tensioner that went thou... Quote
ancullen Posted June 2, 2008 Author Report Posted June 2, 2008 (edited) Yeah, that too. :yes: Anyway, this is off-topic. Please restrict discussion to matters directly related to the Extravaganza. Only eleven (11) days until your cars need to be dropped off at the Showgrounds. Start washing them now. ;) Also, I'm going to chat to the Sales Manager at Bridge Toyota today to try and convince him to help us out with some promotional gear and maybe loan us a Corolla and/or TRD for our display. Hopefully I'll have some good news for tomorrow. :bash: Edited June 2, 2008 by ancullen Quote
wasfishing Posted June 2, 2008 Report Posted June 2, 2008 Have u had any response from him? even with the pics you sent? Quote
ancullen Posted June 2, 2008 Author Report Posted June 2, 2008 Didn't get a reply from the "Business Development Manager" at any point. He never replied to an email I sent him last year either. :bash: So I spoke to the General Sales Manager this afternoon instead. He was VERY, VERY helpful and has committed to giving us some Toyota & TRD posters and signage for our display. And we will DEFINITELY have a 2008 Corolla on display with our cars - hopefully a Levin or Ultima if one is available. AND if a TRD Aurion/Hilux is available, we will get one of those AS WELL. :yes: ;) :yes: Adam is very happy. I will be stopping by Hidden Valley tonight to pay our entry fees and mention the additional cars to John Palamountain. Unfortunately we won't know until Friday the 13th if we'll get a TRD or not, but regardless, I'm still VERY happy. :yes: Quote
