p.s. Ben, I updated the thread title and combined it with your swap meet thread to keep it tidy

[VR4_Psych]

Good stuff Troy,

the meeting point is in Gaven/Pacific Pines on the Gold Coast. Take Helensvale South exit then hang a right and head back over the motorway heading west. You'll see it at the next roundabout you get to.

cheers

Lee

[AnthonyO]

Which exit number is that Lee?

[Hipsi]

it's the first exit/overpass just south of wet'n'wild.....who knows what number that is.

[Taraska]

I will be there on Sunday. If not Ben i will give u a call.
Taras

[leebutts]

Which exit number is that Lee?

Exit 62.

cheers

Lee

[Just Plain Nuts]

Thanks Lee see everyone then

[turboalfa]

Undecided as to whether I'll be there tonight or tommorow. It's a fair drive from where I am.

Either way should make it to one of them.

Thanks
Troy

[frozen]

i dont think i can afford to drive to the gold coast tomorrow (and looks like ive missed tonight) but we'll see... i been quite poor lately so if i cant afford the petrol doubt ill afford parts lol

[Just Plain Nuts]

Josh I can always hold something if you are genuine. You can still make it if you come now we wont get to mine till close to eight if you are late you can call me for dir 0419732455, it would be good to meet you the more the merrier..

[mickeyb]

Screw you, Hippies!

I'm stuck in 35 degree heat in a beachfront hut in Thailand: trust you to hold the swap meet when I can't get away from this damn island paradise! :)

Guess I'll have to miss it: not back til the 20th... and my car just got held up: apparently the boat from Japan had problems... Car won't be here until 5th April...

Have fun anyways...

[AnthonyO]

Josh, if you can afford to drive to Moorooka or Marshall Rd Exit, South East Freeway at Tarragindi, I could drive you down tomorrow. That way I can tell the wife I am OBLIGED to go. No option. Out of my hands .....
Call or text 0414 742592 if you want to give me an excuse, I mean if you need a ride. Hahem.

[DarkVR4]

[naughtika]

I still won't make it coz I'm stuck here at work :(

[Taraska]

Cant make it Ben. My wife have to go to work and i will stay with my son. If the airbox hasnt been sold just let me know.
Taras

[Just Plain Nuts]

just bring your son Taraska

[frozen]

just checked, its about 58km from where i am, and if i do that and back, ill be overdriving my budget :D this tank has to last me till tuesday... I was a little late for the lift offer too anthony, only just checked the boards... sorry xD

Main things id be looking at would be driver side mirror (my motor is gone for the folding in thing) also be after airbox scoop (which im sure would be sold lol) and the driver side power window buttons (my clip got broken by autobarn, but mainly was going to see how the auto up was cut on that part, as with mine they cut out the whole buttons, and craftily ive only been able to get 1 of them to work again completely replacing part of the rubber lol

[leebutts]

Well, wasn't a huge turnout either day but I had fun talking VR-4s as always.

Here's a few pics from today.

cheers

Lee

[Just Plain Nuts]

Good work on the pics Lee

[leebutts]

btw the blue car is AnthonyO's which is currently for sale - it's an awesome colour and incredibly cheap - a real bargain for anyone after an auto Legnum in QLD.

cheers

Lee

[AnthonyO]

Thanks for having us all over Benny. Nice to meet you all while I am still a VR-4 owner.

[mookers]

Hey Benny, did anyone take the tweeter covers from brocky's car? I broke the little tabs on mine replacing my speakers last night :(

I'd love to know if they are available. Cheers!

Derek

[Just Plain Nuts]

I'll have a look. Do you mean the front ones?

[mookers]

I'll have a look. Do you mean the front ones?

Yes, the ones on the inside of the door mirrors. I could use both the covers (with the grilles) and the triangular plastic frames they attach to - both drivers and passengers sides.

Thanks!

[frozen]

OH! that reminds me... i lost my speaker covers for the parcel shelf somehow..... are they still there? :D Actually i did find one of them back, but still need the other side..

[mpce]

Sorry I didn't make it, was still stuffed from Saturday. Was helping do cams, water pump and timing belt on a E39A with some of the guys from the galantvr4.org.au forums. Would have loved to come and learn more about my new car and see if there were any bits I could have purchased. I’ll make an effort to come to the next meet.

[VR4Rocket]

Hey mate! Sorry without the internet at home for the moment I cannot see whats up....but am still keen to see this weekend at any point if it is still on like Donkey Kong....as a question...did he have a new BOV? Or was it standard...I am looking for an updated one at the moment...

[frozen]

i kinda want a new BOV too...

[Just Plain Nuts]

Josh I have the rear parcel shelf speaker covers pulled out already you can have it for $10 ,pick up whenever you want . Derek I dont think it has tweeters there??

[AnthonyO]

Don't they all have tweeters there???

[Just Plain Nuts]

I'll check tomorrow about tweeters.

[VR4Rocket]

New or old BOV?

[naughtika]

if its oem BOV.. you might as well get an aftermarket one..

[frozen]

k ill pick up those covers for the $10, can you hold them till i bump into you next? xD

[Just Plain Nuts]

ok next time you have petrol :laughing:

[frozen]

haha yeah :P my grandfathers here from holland, and im going to tamborine mountains for the weekend with him and the family. Unfortunately going to have to beg mum for some petrol money hehe :P

[mookers]

Hey Benny what was the verdict on the tweeter covers?

[Just Plain Nuts]

doesnt have them sorry just flat panels.

[__ET__]

Hey Benny, what if you took all the old bushes from suspension arms...sub frame.... all that sort of stuff and ask Fulcrum to make a urathane bush kit for our cars?????????????? :confused: ;) :)

[mookers]

doesnt have them sorry just flat panels.

Ah bummer. Thanks anyway! I guess I'll have to stick with my black electrical tape solution for now lol

[Just Plain Nuts]

Emanuel i'll think about it.

[weeaazz]

i know this thread has long ceased business hours but i was wandering if you had the interior a-pillar left?
the front right plastic cover,im guessing its the same as on a legnum,about a foot and a half long

[Just Plain Nuts]

the one at the windscreen or the one near your head?

[weeaazz]

near the windscreen,the panel people attach gauges to,that goes up with the window

[Just Plain Nuts]

someone's already bought that for that..

[weeaazz]

haha damnit,so much for my custom moulding ideas,dont wana risk it on mine if it may not work out
