Its back on again.

Red5 is in need of a engine swap and some others have expressed other forms of dodgyness they want to perform.

I don't know if it will be as well organised as UA's though as he has set a very high standard to equal from the previous two events. I don't have a BBQ there. Anybody able to bring one? I have one largish esky for ice and drinks.

Anyone who is keen to come please express you interest here and what type of dodgyness if any you want to perform. So I know how many to expect on the day.

PM me for the address if you are coming.

Andrew.

I'll be doing box, diff, clutch and brake fluid changes.

I will be bringing \"The Shelley\" and his knob.

PS: If anyone knows the sizes of the 2 diff nuts and gearbox nuts, that would be great. The diff looks like about 22 and 24mm?

Oh, and has anyone got a cheap oil pump thingy to insert the oil into the box and diff?

Im pretty sure i have the sockets for the diff nuts.

I've got one of those there.

Andrew.

I'm leaking a bit of oil, so I want to replace all the seals. Can you let me know what the part numbers are for those Andrew (if they are the same on an NA8 )

So yes, i'll be there with bells on! *I may be lying about the bells*

and were's my damn steak......

Yay for dodgy!!!

24 mm sockets for the diff.

I'll bring KitKat's toolbox.

What's the address? Not sure what dodgy I'll be doing - it will no doubt be turbo related.....the LSD got fitted today - it's tight.....

Christ man - you gotta at least wear -something-!

I'm a probably - I may end up leaving before dinner though, so we'll see what happens there.

I'll be over around lunch o'clock after winning the Saturday golf club competition to lend a hand/get in the way/niggle Jules and Wayne about having windblockers etc.

THERE SHALL BE WINGZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

We need another fryer for fast batches.

SPY - You bringing the Nuclear and Thermonuclear sauce ? I'll bring the regular unleaded.

Jules - Tabs Blue Cheese was sensational. I designate her as making yet another half litre.

KitKat.. bring enough oil for your fryer please.

NOW.. do we need a BBQ ? if so someone more local may need to arrange.

5 days till dodgy.

I shall bring wingzz for all, and BEER (for the trip up!)

I got a ACL seal kit from Supercheap (I tried a few places and they were the cheapest) it had 2 cam seals as they are the same for both 1.6 & 1.8. And 2 crank seals one for big and small nose cranks. Sorry I don't have the part #'s.

Andrew.

Guys, could we get a schedule of events?
At this stage it seems we have.

Red5 - Engine (possibly need the pit, winch, Andrew, Sabre etc.)
Jules - Small oily stuff, pit would be useful if not jacking up car, 1/2 hr job for diff and box, brakes and clutch perhaps another 30mins.
Boags - front engine seals, just need to jack the front up to save his back when bending into the bay
Mikey - Engine bay toying.
Wayne - Wingzzzzzzzzzz and main feature \"Ceremonial Returning of the Knob\"

Once we have a list we can allocate Andrews workshop space the best.

Pit and winch are mutually inclusive. The hole in the floor is directly bellow the track the winch is on.

I do have a second hole in the floor on the other side of the shed that I have not used. I'll see if I can get every thing in place to use it as well.

Andrew.

I'll be there post lunch...

No work in dire need of being done on mine.

I think the engine swap should be a priority guys so that red5 can be back on the road asap.

Andrew, PM sent.
