Now with xdave also joining the club last night that gives us 3 new members in 10 days :P This is top stuff, cruise and BBQ times are going to be good if members turn up. :)

[xdave]

=D *tips hat to Trendact*

 

Heyhey fellas

 

I spose it's about time that I introduce myself hehe

My name is Dave. I'm a rollaholic. ;)

Lived in the northside all my life.

I wanted to come to last nights meeting but it was all too sudden to plan for - also in the wife and kid boat..hehe

 

I own a white 86' AE82 Twincam Hatchback (with 100kw smallport) which I recently purchased. Very much enjoying this. I plan on doing some work on the body, touch up the little bits of rust and respray some little bits here and there. I have several other ideas for this car as well as the unaffordable aspiration of throwing in a turbo kit + GZE pistons......maybe one day....

My other car is also an 86' AE82, but of the 4AC CS SECA persuasion. I want to sell this car, so lemme know if you or anyone you know might be interested :lol:

 

For a living, I work for Telstra in IT

 

I'm also a member of twincam.org and AE82 Owners Club

 

Also, I sure as hell hope there will be some cruises happening. I always feel like I just want to go for a drive for no particular reason hehe. Hopefully I'll be able to hook up some stickers off one of you guys as well :down:

Total = $6800.

 

And I still havent got a 20v 4agte in yet...

 

It still scares me when I work out how much i have spent on that car :yes:

 

Anyway, As i I said above I'm a qualified mechanic and am now at anu studying engineering because the thought of consistant work and decent money was just so scary i decided to be a broke student for a few years lol.

 

I'm currently sorting out a few issues on a mates Nissan Gazelle (S12)... interesting car.... so that I can drive that and take the 'rolla off the road for the 20v conversion so thats a project for the summer, but before that I REALLY have to get in touch with john wilson for engineering certification of the car as well.

 

/end life story lol.

 

I'm interested in cruises and meeting other corolla people around town.

Hey Ben, Welcome aboard....post some pics up of your car :wink:

 

I like Gazelle's....what are you doing to your mates one? My mates one is in the process of being boosted at the moment :D

[Trendact]

Welcome dude :wink:

 

Watch the ACT section for club meetings, events, BBQ's etc........ the more that come along the better :D

Here ya' go.

^^^^ Getting closer to starting the 20v conversion... its getting exciting (and scary) now :hmm:

 

The gazelle is pretty just getting back to been roadworthy which to do so all I really have left is a steering rack adjustment, 4 tyres and a good clean up. Its really a pretty nice car to drive for something that is almost as old as I am (the cars an 85 model, I'm an 84 model lol), a boosted one would be a hell of a thing. The thing about the Gazezlle is that it really feels like a nicely balanced chassis backed by a torquey (compared to my 4ac lol) but not overly powerful engine. Of course its always nice to drive a car where your right foot controls just the amount of understeer you get :o. Kinda like a much less powerful/grippy/nice/fast (basically less good) version of the M3 =)
