It's now a little over two weeks since we returned from The Bonneville Run, a road trip taking in several states in the USA, during which time we managed to clock up over 5000 miles in my 1970 Cadillac Fleetwood 75. We drove through California, Nevada, Arizona and Utah, seeing plenty of sights...

Happy Independence Day everyone :) Went to a local celebration put on by the American Womens Club of Perth... This is an event thats been going on for several years now and gets bigger every year... It's the first time I've made it down to one, and we'll most likely go again next year...

Just curious as to whether any SM members have been to, or have plans to go to, Bonneville - either for SpeedWeek, or a similar event? We're going to be there for SpeedWeek in August this year, but only spectating, as it's a bit of a hike just to get there, bringing a race car would add at...

Those of you with fairly large web sites, who do you go to for your hosting solutions? I'm putting through about 70 gig of traffic some months, and it's getting to the point where I'm going to need to find another host....

So... Last weekend I ordered an in car camera mount, and on Saturday I got a chance to put it in a couple of cars and give it a bit of a test... Here's the results... First up, I put it on the passenger glass of Mrs Canada's (Bel Hay) 383 powered VN Commodore Super Streeter for an 11.3 second...

Hope everyone has a good day and night... And somehow manages to make it to work tomorrow... :) Whats everyone else got planned for the day? For once, I don't actually have anything planned... Will be bbq'ing something for lunch, have kinda put an invite out for a few mates to come over...

Just curious, as we're planning on being at Bonneville in August, and staying in West Wendover...

As many of you already know, in August last year, I visited the US, Northern California in particular. I bought a car before we left Australia, had it shipped to my brothers place in San Jose and spent a month driving it around the Bay Area. This year, we're planning on heading back to San...

Just a link to some photos I've put up from the opening round at my local drag strip.. The meet also included a round of the ANDRA Pro Series Pro Stock Championship.... http://www.highoctanephotos.com/previews/2009_Pro_Stock I took almost 2500 photos on the day and the preview version has...

Just a heads up for those in WA... SupraWA are having our AGM tomorrow (members only event, for voting purposes) and following it up with a cruise that is open to all Supra owners... Details are in the following post: http://www.suprawa.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=26&t=503 But, in short...

As some of you already know, and some may not, k8 and I have just gotten home from a holiday in the US. We went over for my brothers wedding in San Jose, and only did day trips from there, which means we went up to San Francisco a couple of times and down to Santa Cruz and Monterey... I'm...

OK... As I've posted elsewhere, I recently bought a 1970 Cadillac Fleetwood 9 seater "formal sedan" on eBay in the US... These are some of the shots from the auction...

Hey guys... Am going to be looking for someone to supply and fit an alarm in the bay area shortly... I should be having a car delivered to San Jose in the next week or so, and afaik, it does not currently have an alarm... I won't be around until mid August, and when I arrive, won't really...

This weekend, a couple of local rod clubs, and a heap of other talented individuals, got together with the aim of building a hot rod over the course of a weekend... Starting Saturday morning with a body in pretty much bare metal, a chassis that was still box steel sitting on the rack and a...

Just tried to get into Teresa's VIP section here at work.... They upgraded the filter here to DansGuardian the other day, and now it blocks almost everything... including scanning pages for phrases / keywords and deciding if it wants you to view the page based on the results... oh well...

Hey guys.... perhaps some of you Cal locals can help me out with this... I've been doing a little reading, and it seems that in Cal you can have a 'laid up' rego? Basically a much much cheaper rego on the grounds that your car is in storage... And also that you can pay your rego by the month...

So.... apparently my brother is getting married in San Jose in late August 2009... The timing actually fits in really well for me to fly in to San Jose, get measured up for a suit, then head out to Bonneville to the salt, and over to Louisville for the street rod nationals, then back to San...

I just realised I never started one of these threads, my plan for this thread is to keep it updated with both the progress of my car, and any new photos I may take from time to time :) The vehicle is a '91 JZA70 Limited, spec BJMZZ, which means manual gearbox, aerotop and limited. Here's a...

I notice that Aaron has in the past used a GT4082... was wondering if he or any others had anything to say about them with regards using one on a 1JZ... Not sure that there's many options available, but this is the longer description: GT4082 0.94 Ex A/R 82mm Comp

OK... Here's the background.... A short time ago, this car was driven through the wall of a lunch bar in the northern suburbs of Perth. A mate of mine was called to extract it. The owner (the mother of the driver) elected to sign the keys over to the my mate rather than try to fix it...
