I went for a ride in a supra with a GT47 and that car reset the level power I think I could be comfortable with,we're talking serious wheelspin at 70-75 mph with M/T dot slicks,the acceleration was just brutal,I wanted it to be over but I also wanted more.

For some reason Roger seems to think I look like this chap.
Why he would remember some guy from Neighbours so vividly is a bit concerning though

I can assure everyone in real life I am alot fitter than Toady will ever be, NOT!! lol

So Harold Bishop (neighbours) is doing a television interview with a live audience. After answering a few questions from the host its the audiences turn to ask a few.

One of the audience asks him: So how come your so fat then?

Harold answers: Because everytime I climb off your mum she gives me a cookie.

plumwerks · 18th July 2008, 03:27 AM

Good one.

binjoau · 18th July 2008, 04:18 AM

Rob,

Any idea how much that turbo weighed? Just out of interest.

pupsi · 25th July 2008, 07:48 PM

Bad news is, that the goods that Rob from RIPs has fabricated and sent to me, namely a complete T04z kit along with the custom pipework for the intercooler and a heatshield for the ABS unit, should have got to me by now but hasn't. I made enquiries and tried tracking the parcels but no luck, so got in touch with Parcel Force and after some enquiries Parcel Force think that the parcels may be coming by sea-freight instead of air-freight, I was told that they should have been delivered to me by now (air-freight) and the only thing they can think of is that by mistake they have been sea-freighted. The weird thing is that they can't even confirm where the parcels are?? BTW, this is through no fault of Rob, as even he thought I would have had the goods by now. The only thing confirmed is that they left country of origin (N.Z) on the 15/7/08. On the tracking system; Status----Advised, they can't even tell me what that means. Normally status would be delivered, if delivered, or custom charges, if any, or at depot if they were unable to deliver. Anyone on here work for Parcel Force?? that may be able to help.
Another question, for a quick response car, are the cams Tomei 280 10.8 lift a good choice, or is there another cam that would be better and how much of a difference would that make.

hodgie · 25th July 2008, 08:40 PM

That really sucks, so if its coming by sea how long does that take?

Stachi · 25th July 2008, 09:10 PM

Parcel Force once again? Their tracking system sucks.. Didn't display anything for me until the package was delivered...

RIPS work impresses me everytime btw! Good craftsmenship!

I sent them and paid for them by air on a 5-7 working day service and it cost me plenty.

If they have sent them by sea I will kick up such a fuss.

I specificly sent 2 seperate parcels so there we no issues with excessive weight etc, the limit for air is 20kg and they were around 16-18kg each package.

At a guess around 6 weeks?? I think Ludders car took 6 weeks to get here?? so I reckon it'll be the same. Rob, if you can try to find out at your end if they know where the parcels are. The guess from Parcel Force at my end is that they are most likely coming via sea-freight, doesn't add up though, on the tracking site it says left country of origin (N.Z) 15/7/08, there couldn't have been a boat ready to leave on the same day, too much of a coincidence.

pupsi · 28th July 2008, 03:58 AM

Good News is that the parcels arrived in the U.K on the 27/7/08 and are now awaiting customs clearance and custom charges. Its just showed up on the tracking system a few hours ago, HOORAY. Looking forward to collecting them and handing them over to Rob (Tweenierob) and hopefully I shall be driving around in my Skyline and giving it the beans by the weekend. Game back on.
