Caffeine's dodgy day (Sydney, Saturday July 26)

Postby Caffeine » Fri Jun 20, 2008 3:11 pm

I'm going to be doing some more work on my car next month (when the parts arrive), so anyone who wants to come along and share tools & effort can do so.

I'll be putting in my new radiator, doing braided brake lines, power steering fluid change and transmission fluid change...

As before there's room for 4 or 5 cars to be worked on undercover, and room for another few to park, so the more the merrier!

So sliq makes 4 cars confirmed. Plenty of room for more people. I'm sure sliq is a nice guy, but I doubt he'd appreciate some alone time together with me :D :shock:

hey guys, never been to one of these dodgy days before, but i guess there is a first time for everything.

Will see how thing are closer to the time but im interested at this stage. i can offer some tools (small 3/8 socket set and some ratchet ring spanners), a small amount of experience (ive done gear box changes inc fluid, timing belt/water pump changes and other small stuff) and plenty of willingness to help.

is that enough???

hopfully time will allow me to join you guys (assuming you will have me :P )

will keep an eye on this post untill then.

I may tag along just to lend a hand (and scab a beer :P ). Don't have any works to be done ony my own car, but there's always plenty to learn. Maybe I'll find out what these Mazdaspeed engine mount thingies actually do :P

Will wait til closer to the day before I lock it all in though.
