08ftw Posted December 27, 2008 Author Report Posted December 27, 2008 40D Nowadays. 40D+grip+10-20mm sigma+ef 530 sigma flash is my basic set up. Got a few more lenses n shit on the way soon hopefully. Thie recaro is a tight fit, and I'm really not happy with the way it is mounted. If anyone has any tips on how to customize normal rails etc let me know! I'm also seriously considering 4age for this bitch. Just sick of the lack of power, if i do run one, it will be on carbs. Probably not in the near future anywho. Quote
08ftw Posted December 30, 2008 Author Report Posted December 30, 2008 Took her for a couple of laps round arhie tonight. Thrashed the living shit out of her. Was good fun. Time for some stiffer springs me thinks. Oh and some gaurd rolling. Ehh My front tyres are sore =[ Quote

08ftw Posted January 29, 2009 Author Report Posted January 29, 2009 How she is sitting today. Still considering engine options. Not sure how to roll yet! Quote
08ftw Posted February 27, 2009 Author Report Posted February 27, 2009 Wacked some different springs in this thing last night, was an impulse decisision and goddamn am I glad I did it! Took it out to the skid pan at QR aswell and had an absolute ball! Needs MOAR power. Quote

08ftw Posted February 27, 2009 Author Report Posted February 27, 2009 Got the recaro from a guy in wynum. But he got it from option one. Check their website, always have bucket seats. Or check all the import wreckers ay. And yea it goes alright, new springs make it handle like a dream! Quote
08ftw Posted March 2, 2009 Author Report Posted March 2, 2009 (edited) So i've developed a noisey rear left hub. Checked it out today, pulled the brake drum off and cleaned it all off and couldn't see any signs off rubbing etc. It sounds like a brake drum is dragging and only really develops at around 35km/h. Anyone ever had this sort of noise? Edited March 2, 2009 by 08ftw Quote
08ftw Posted April 4, 2009 Author Report Posted April 4, 2009 Wrote this baby off last night :y: Will add some photos of damage later on. Was just lucky that everyone was alive. Quote
08ftw Posted April 4, 2009 Author Report Posted April 4, 2009 Was travelling down mount cootha after a photoshoot, Matt was leading down and as he came around the bend had a head on with a motor bike with two riders. I was following about 30 sec - 1min later, driving around a fairly familiar bend at about 50km/h, heard yelling and screeming first, instantly locked up and lost control of the car (damp road) slid about 20m into littleredspirits 71, hit that fairly hard, bounced then spun and knocked matt over the gaurd rail. The whole thing happened so quickly, blind corner, wet road, not much else I could have done. Upside was that everyone was alive. Bike rider faired fairly badly. Still amazed that everyone was alive though. Anyway, here are the pics. 2nd and 3rd are where I smashed matt with the back end of my car. Poor bugger, sorry mate! Quote
LittleRedSpirit Posted April 4, 2009 Report Posted April 4, 2009 Hectic. Look at the dent in the 1/4 panel where you bunted me. Thats decent! You hit the opposite side to where the motor sits, how did the 4k fare? Quote
08ftw Posted April 4, 2009 Author Report Posted April 4, 2009 Yea I must have hit you f@$king hard ay. Note to all other members. Matt is built like a brick hit house. Look what he did to my corolla!!! Hah Quote
