(off topic)are ya havin fun matt!!!!

At this festive time of year I understand we are all extremely busy with work,family, and spending huge amounts of hard earned $ on prezzies for those dear and true to us(and this includes our cars of course ;) ) I should like to take this opportunity to offer my personal thanks to all those who have made this club(albeit still young) one of the most helpful,professional and friendly clubs I have seen for quite some time. Whether a casual visitor who pops by from time to time,or one of the integral members whose knowledge and willingness to assist those in need, I consider everone an equal part of this clubs success-and to see it develop to this stage from what was originally nothing more than a passing thought is something that makes me realise what a great bunch of people belong to this organisation. A special thank you to Matt Lai,Keith,4 rollin,Hoon and D1Tezza,whose interest in both the club and these cars have been invaluable in the development on the NZ scene. Also,to those Australians that have been doin great on the forums and building relationships with both fellow locals and us kiwi's-tis greatly appreciated. I'm lucky and proud to be involved with you lot-may you all have a superb and safe christmas,recieve S/C kits or turbs in you stockings,and have a very prosperous and welcoming 2004. That's about it really... Cheers. Gav :gav:

or an Apex RSM will allow you to set whatever cutoff point you choose,as well as being able to customise your REV limiter....(if you want one ;) )

Girls there were...plenty at woodhill(on the beach in bikini's no less) yesterday. My first real outing since my crash,and on the new bike. LUVIN IT!!!!!!! 04 125 baby,yeah!!!!!! :gav:

The only wrath being dished out will be delivered by the logo "Alpine Star"on the bottom as they sail over the top of that big 'ol heavy 250 .... Bring it. Monday. Woodhill Forest. Freshly groomed tracks. All to ourselves.

found the luggage compartment too small for sounds... :D

Me and hoon have just joined team HONDA!!!! Hey aaron....you free monday? You should check out my garage at the moment...contains the following 2 wheeled fun machines.. 2000 Yamaha yz250 2002 Yamaha yz 250 1997 Honda CR125 and the newest(last week addition).... 2004 spec Honda CR125!!! Hoon's on a brand newbie Honda CR250 too... Let the games begin!!

I don't find my 6 cyl altezza too gutless at all.........

On a slightly different note I've got one of my sets of Technics SL1200 MK2 turntables(x2) for sale,complete with a well used but fully functional Numark 3000 mixer. The decks are just over a year old,have lived in a road case at home for most of their life,have been serviced and calibrated regularly,and come equipped with headshells,stanton 500 mk2 carts and good condition stylus. Basically,everthing you need to begin playing vinyl-these turntable are the industry standard DJ turntable,and the the weapon of choice worldwide. Reason for selling? As you know I'm a professional DJ,and have 3 sets of these-one set of which is never used,so I'd rather pass it on to someone that has an interest at a decent price. Retail listings are as follows: technics sl1200 mk2 turntables $1399.00 each Stanton Carts & Stylus (x2) $ 360.00 Numark 3000 Mixer(when new) $699.00 So to buy this lot new would cost $3,857.00 ish. But to anyone interested $2300.00 ono. PM me with any questions or further details required. Regards, Gav. :gav:

Been out of action opening two new bars..... first one tonight then the following on thurs!!

Congratulations! Thats a good lookin output- Any of you guys keen on comin up to Ak for the nationals?

Heya GRE,I got a trust element(l shaped) for my 1gfe a while ago-these are a re-useable foam element and i highly recommend them unless you are going to opt for a pod type setup later on.(noticeable difference in throttle response.) the TRD i believe is reuseable,but is still a paper element?? The trust will cost ya around 130 nz$,and is well worth every penny-Matt Lai is about to head overseas so may I suggest PM'ing him to order one for his return. My suggestion would be to have a resonator placed mid exhaust on your car-this will lower the note at those annoying 100kph speeds.....without affecting free flow. Hope this may help. Gav. :gav: regards, gav.

I'm throwing around the idea of possibly wanting to sell the personalised plate off my TRD,so I though I'd put an initial post to see if anyone would be interested in gaining the original "ALTZZA" plate for their car in NZ. At this point I have no real idea on price,and am in no drastic hurry to sell-but if there is anyone that may be keen on a chat about it let me know.... The only reason is that I wish to get a plate to promote the business instead of the individual car. Just a thought.... Regards,hope all have had a good weekend. Cheers, gav :gav:

I only ever see the front of your car,hoon.....(sigh) Guess its cos you're always behind me!!! :D (just a touch of humour to brighten this hot friday afternoon)

or the Paris-Dakar......

I was having a chat to Matt Lai the other day and he mentioned that it was pretty hard to destroy an IS's engine.... So I think it's only fair that he leaves the club the keys to his Lexus whilst he's away overseas!! Time trial round the bays,anyone??? hehehe.lol ;)

If that's the case I've got a set of standard springs from my last Altezza in the garage..... $1,000 bucks a corner should cover the spray paint.... ;) lol

Put ya shoes on Matt.... DING DONG! Hey-hang on-don't you have to be at work soon???

And yes...I know I spelt Peter JACKSON'S name wrong-it's all the excitement-and the K is right next to the J..

How's the buzz in NZ at the moment guys! 100,000 people lining the streets covered in Red carpet for the World premiere of the 3rd Lord of the Rings movie-stars for miles,costumes,fly-by's by custom painted 747's.... good on ya Mr Peter Kackson I say-you've done us kiwi's proud! The first ever screening begins in 5 minutes-wonder if my 'Tezza is up to the challenge of getting me the 600 odd KM to Wellington with time to spare to get the popcorn...???

ya gotta wonder about how things like this happen.... Anyone know a good valet??

I'm getting mine groomed(with teflon)once a month... about the same time my lady gets flowers so she does'nt think the car gets treated better than her!! ;)

that's a great looking example of a fine car Tranceman-Congratulations and a big welcome to the ranks of owners!!

The standard 2 litre 6cyl is stable up to around 300 HP,and the UK boys are running standard auto transmissions which seem to be up the task in most cases. I think it's gonna be tough to break 6 sec 0-100 kph-for instance one of the lads has an IS200 equipped with a TDi supercharger and Manual Gearbox,and he's pulling 6.58 sec on average. I'm squeezing 6.69 out of my N/A engine(auto),but its had a fair bit of tinkering done prior to me owning it. NOS will help! :D

Anytime! That's part of what we're here for... B)
