other project: stroker kit and turbo for my scooter (cant find a turbo though.........)

theres a T28 for sale on here johno

lol way too big for a 50cc! maybe when i get it stroked to an incredible 70cc i'll consider the t28

New project/side project:

Get the pitbike turbo'd... that'll be fun

That 356 is H O T and I hope you do get to fulfill that aspiration

OT: My Hobbies - photography,rally racing (spectator & photog),collecting Star Wars action figures (yes,I know I'm a nerd for that) ,Bonsai growing and drawing/painting.

Yea I also enjoy photography... but I'd just call it taking photo's coz it's not really something to be proud of, and then there's the drawing which keeps me busy in class.

Lol, WOW, its a destroyer of lives, seen some mates fall victim to it. Swear to never go near it

Used to be motocross, ive had a break from racing though.

Now its mostly gym and muay thai for me.

i'm gonna take up the art of growing stunted trees and follow in my old man's foot steps

I'm thinking of fixing the boat... turn it into a NON-fishing boat... with a nice little fridge, tv, sound system etc etc...

It'll be a fun project, but it'll take heaps of time.

...is takin shape...

nice Reub its going to look very impressive when its done.

What is it? Like a roof thingy? I can't remember what it's called.....
If it is what I think it is, it's gonna look good.

lol EEEEK WOW. i thought i had escaped. i used to play that. and css. i used to collect warhammer and warhammer 40k, that was good fun until i realized how incredibly expensive it was so i got into something way cheaper. cars... didnt think that one through lol. why cant i be excited by something free? or very cheep?

Gotta get my Stafford into a lean, mean, ripped dog before the Specialties.

English.

My Harry dog is awesome!

I've been sneakily and covertly filming the Northern Suburbs "nightlife" in all it's bloody glory....

Don't quite know what I'll do with the footage but it probably won't be Youtube.

Fist Full of Films 09 ? Local film comp.

My project

http://www.moparmarketforum.com/forum/view...=a&start=40

**

Just thought I'd modify this thread to a semi events thread too.

If your hobby is having an event or your project is done and going to an event let us know and anyone interested can pop along if they want.

I have a dog show at the Winnellie Show Grounds this Saturday starting from 5.30pm - first one for the year. I'll have Siberian's and a few others around and everyone is friendly.

Come along and meet some lovely breeders if you are thinking of your next family pets.

Team SCUD will be holding a fundraiser (selling drinks - at HV first where the event will be starting and then down at the greyhound track where it will be ending!) at the Aussie Day Ute run to raise much needed funds to get SCUD to the Ultimate Burnout Challenge in Victoria in March... so by all means if you are going feel free to come over and have a chat and buy a cold one!!!


[attachmentid=648549]

rum and coke thanks

no team scud doesnt promote drink driving only SKIDS (at a legal facility of course!!)

Oh I remember the plans... its going to look wicked dude!

who said i was gonna be driving


i spose the monster truck counts

Well, was supposed to have this finished before New Year's, but meh, thats why I moved here, so I dont have to be in such a rush.

Some pics:









Done two of the bedrooms, the bathroom and crapper and laundry look nice, but will have to get some pics up.

The hardwood floor is that hybrid stuff. its got a 4mm top plank of hardwood then two layers of bonded cores mounted opposing(I went for Nyotah. It was the best looking timber with cost in mind. Otherwise it would have been blackbutt or spotted ash. This is the single strip version, it is awesome stuff).
You will see these flooring options on ebay from as little as $14m2. They are not hardwood. Just a photo of hardwood over mdf core. This stuff is warranted for 25years and landed here it cost me about $80m2 including underlay, sealant, sound core and frieght. You can get in clicklock or glue lock. The single strip looks best, but takes longest to lay. The three strip is three times quicker to lay and costs about 30% less. Go figure.

I got a quote to get supply and install of Nyotah flooring from carpet choice, was looking at 11 thousand all up. I did this on my own for just under 7k. So thats 4k for car parts.

The painting is the easyest, water based ftw. I went to bunnings because thwey have the range and the convenience, not for the price I chose the three colors in the scheme and called them : Pauls Iced Coffee, Breaka Choc, and Vanilla Malt (the trims are vanilla malt

Not bad for a bloke who prefers Classic Choc.

The fans are from Middys (JR lighting) and are fucking awesome, blow you out the door on full speed. They dont vibrate, are perfectly balanced but will slice your fingers off if you reach up.

All the lights and fittings are from JR. They are the most helpful, friendly people in Darwin when it comes to anything electrical. Great people, so helpful and friendly I feel like buying them all a beer.

Fans and lighting cost a total of $3kk all up. That includes every switch and socket being replaced with some nice new satin Clipsal switches. The kitchen was done half arse by the previous owner, a Greek builder of sorts. So its gettin arseholed and a new one put in. From scratch.


Its amazing how many ex-building site windows, doors etc... are on here. No doubt all thieved from legitimate job sites as 'excess'. Heheh.

I got a quote for some bi-folds for the big window area and french doors for the back, but i required medical attention after reading that quote. Haven't been the same since.

The garage is getting plastered and A/C's. I would love someone to come in and Airbrush the two walls. If only I could draw. I was thinking of getting those two whores from GTA IV donw up on the walls in huge sizes, with Liberty City in the background. Would look sweet i reckon






Next up is the landscaping of the whole place, and maybe a nice new fence. The pool is gonna cost $$,$$$







Those guys from Northern Rivers Timbers are super friendly too. I dealt with Sandro, and he was totally awesome, from helping me with better pricing right through to freight and even checking up on me 5 months later to see how the project went (I mentioned I was DIY'ing and he gave me everything I needed to know to make the job easier)




Der Garagen



This is teh best omgwtfbbq I ever owned. If the people at BBQ's glaore werent such pushy pricks, Id have bought tow more and sent them to my brother and my mum.

how much for the barina out the front aaron p.s i now know where u live, be afraid very very afraid

I don't think you have enough coke in your garage

how much for the barina? Well, if you get it before it gets stickered, its $80. After stickerage its $50.


My best employee, who is leaving me to return to melbourne (damn her) bought it a whiile ago, but ran out of rego and did the really smart thing by going to MVR to get it passed. Or FAILED as it were.....


As for the soft drinks, its a battle between me and the car parts vs the shop stock and the missus. She kinda wins.....



Larsy, Im afraid of all the insane boosters that tear up Fitzer Dve as if its....well fitzer dve Its a bone of contention with the neighbours complaining and wanting traffic controls put in place.


Slow down peeps, I dont want the council putting in speed humps, that will be like having 14 of my driveways to negotiate everyday; scrapeage.

Pop over anytime lars Just beep and ill open the gates


And release the hound.

DUDE...gotta ask where you found this table and chairs... not that I'd want to be copying or anything, but we've been looking around for a while now.

possibly the only set of red chairs with chocolate table in darwin. Been looking for ages too.


Its el cheapo quality. Its at Carla furnishers listed for $950 with chairs on the Australia Day special. Talk em down to 879 if you pay cash.

The table runner is a synthetic one from freedom, $15. Amazingly, its also 1.5m long, exactly the same as the table. (most 6 seater tables are 1800 long- too big for my space)

Its also chilli, red wine, and tomato sauce resistant.

The choco wood thingy is $19 from Freedom, the smelly rose carnation thingys are $8 from Spotlight and the rocks are free from somones driveway up the road. Probably not free really.

I just nicked em while I was cutting down their heliconoas. 2 for 1.

Capitalism FTW.

you should come look at our table Rueb. THinks you would like it.

Thanks dude.
Busy doing the outside renos on out place and am hanging to do inside. Rach and I have a thing for RED - just look at vwrx
If I could find these for a good price I'd get them...





OK. You make the coffee...

^^Cam Interiors, or CAM something or other. On the Stuart Hwy further inbound then Carla Furnishers.





Then again you did say *good* price. CAM have beautiful modern/deco stuff. Some of it is expensive, but you pay for good design. Unlike LeConyou and Jape who have the imitation at genuine prices.

Try eBay perhaps?

Found some on ebay (copies of the original) for $75 ea but won't ship. Originals are $350+ each...

They are such a beautiful chair. When you appreciate it aesthetically, you find yourself discovering more function than form, but constantly going back to the form. Which is what furniture art should do to your head.





Or like me, you just enjoy how red sets things......on fire _

YOu all know what my hobbie/project is..... will post photo's soon

as long as its not car related, as per the thread title.

please no photo's of you pleasuring yourself

Well having had a nice 2.5 weeks off in Melbourne, seeing some nephews and nieces for the first time, and camping in the 1 degree c Grampians national park for a week, I thought i should builds a new PC. Having seen what me old school mates are running, it was time for a bit of catch up. PS I still have to say, melbourne>sydney, any f*cking day of the week. Man, the kebabs and other turkish foods, the sheer amount of BEERS that we dont get on the shelves up here, the wineries, the forests, the moutains, the BITCHES, the roads, and did I mention Kebabs?
