demuire Posted April 28, 2004 Author Report Posted April 28, 2004 Fixed speedo and brakes today, things are finally going well I think. Have a few things left to do, should hopefully finish them tomorrow in time for engineering/roadworthy on Friday morning.. *cross fingers* Quote
demuire Posted April 28, 2004 Author Report Posted April 28, 2004 In all honesty I'd probably be able to do QMS3 in it. Should have rego (hopefully) by Friday evening, wheel alignment etc Saturday... But I shouldn't. Really. I'll be good. QMS4 I'll take it out. Quote
andrew Posted April 28, 2004 Report Posted April 28, 2004 i wish my ke55 got that far. that is looking awesome fook Quote
demuire Posted April 29, 2004 Author Report Posted April 29, 2004 Installed air filter today: The metal shield on top of the air filter is to prevent water coming off the bonnet from splashing on the air filter cause the air filter is sitting so close to the side of the engine bay... Quote
Teddy Posted April 29, 2004 Report Posted April 29, 2004 thats lookin really nice ! i really like the colour constrasts u got goin in there ! Quote
demuire Posted April 30, 2004 Author Report Posted April 30, 2004 Car is registered!!! A few things to sort out yet, but it's registered - that's the important bit :) Quote
demuire Posted April 30, 2004 Author Report Posted April 30, 2004 Itch? OH YEAH... but no, still have issues with it. Need to rewire a section of the car cause i'ev blown up 2 circuit breakers already ($60!!!!), engine bay too hot I think. Will reroute to the cabin. At the moment it's running unfused, which isn't really very ideal. Also thermostat is dead I think. And water in radiator is more brown than green. But bloody hell it's FUN TO DRIVE :) Burns my "good rubber" without even thinking. I SO NEED A LOCKER OR AN LSD... Tomorrow get wheel alignment :D YAY. Quote
demuire Posted April 30, 2004 Author Report Posted April 30, 2004 And oh gawd insurance is SO NOT CHEAP. I'd better not crash this thing... Shannons want me to send them photos, will need to get onto that sometime. Which means I should also take photos... But somehow I don't think they'd be too interested, they are more into collectors cars etc, and my car is rather rough. Just Car Insurance want $311 just for 3rd party, $611 for Fire & Theft, I didn't bother asking about Full Comp. And I can only claim up to market value of the car to a maximum of $3000 (if uninsured driver crashes into me). Mind you, market value of the car is $700. HMM. My access itself is $1200. Doesn't seem very logical to insure it does it? Maybe I'll just not insure it. Would be nice to at least have 3rd party though... Will see what Shannons say. In the meantime, MUST NOT CRASH CAR.

andrew Posted April 30, 2004 Report Posted April 30, 2004 better be carefull then dude you don't want to destroy such a beautiful thing Quote
Teddy Posted April 30, 2004 Report Posted April 30, 2004 yeah, thats correct fook... not cheap as i found out the hard way. Dad and i did our sums (this is true, and slightly amuzing lol) - it was cheaper for us 2 get 3rd party than 2 get the full compro insurance because if i crash it and write it off - it would be cheaper to get another 1 and put all the good bits left from mine into another 1 heheheheh - :) Quote
demuire Posted April 30, 2004 Author Report Posted April 30, 2004 Oh believe me I definately don't WANT to crash, but you never know what happens right? Quote
Nitephyre Posted April 30, 2004 Report Posted April 30, 2004 w000t congrats fook... don't it feel great when you walk outta qld transport with those expensive peices of tin? :D /me's having a ball drivin round in Sakichi :) Quote
Teddy Posted April 30, 2004 Report Posted April 30, 2004 lol i know the feeling - fook, after seeing u drive, and hering many stories - i reallllly doubt that u will crash it - if anything, some 1 would crash into u becuase they are lookin are ur cool car.... SMASH (whooops) Quote
Redwarf Posted April 30, 2004 Report Posted April 30, 2004 Where are you getting the wheel alignment? Are you going to see the boys at Pedders? R (Hurrrah for Hal!!) Quote
demuire Posted April 30, 2004 Author Report Posted April 30, 2004 Rob: Yes, going to see Brian. Was thinking of popping by to see you after - but don't know if you'll be up and about since you worked last night... Quote
