Riffraff's Coming to AUS

Thought I would start a new thread cause the old one is old and some what off topic now.

Its official. Late March (and I mean late). 4 days only. Arrive Friday depart Monday. Clays main goal is to get amongst our Ftrucks over the weekend, which will be held at my place in Sydney. There will be food, beer and laughs for all. So call ya boss beg ya wife and get ya a$$ over here and lets show him a good old fashion Aussie **** up.

You will have to PM (private message) me for the details and available accommodation. I will PM all of the Australian members but there are many who have not got PM enable so some will miss out. I will give it a couple of days for you to get that side of sorted before I send. SO PLEASE go into your User CP and enable PM. There is a sticky up top of the forum with instructions.

Hi Geoff.
The purpose of having it at my place is that I have the tools and undercover parking so we can get the tools out. So if anyone has some mods to be done now is the best time to get the parts on order and we can get it done. Post up if you have a specific job so we know what we are up for. One job I have for Clay is a downpipe removal. I want him to see whats invovled for us cause it aint simple

Agh down pipe removal is easy........ air hacksaw at each end lol oh but it can never be used again.

Clay I was wanting some stage 1 or 2 injectors fitted and an f6 chip to suit I have an F5 on their at the moment (which I will be selling or back trade) . But I am thinking that I will need to have my new Turbo fitted and the intercooler done before that happens. Which does not leave me alot of time $'s wise, as I have a John Woods transmision on air freight as I type. I did try to ring this morning but you were on the phone.

I got a Towmaster he said plenty for anything I will do runs at $4200 USD. I think $4900 with billet shafts and a bit more with some other mods didn't really get into it. Think the web site said $7200 for a full on one. Do a google search for John Woods Automotive and give him a call very cheap to ring USA on land line Dial 00111 then his number if in brisbane you will have to call between 3 and 4 am or if daylight savings an hour later
