sounds like a good day was had. Can't wait for some photos to be thrown up...

looks like the weather and location **** all over the Melbourne CAI day- well done to the organisers !!!

KittyKatSmack · 10-05-2003, 08:03 PM

Yes, I personally organised the weather.
ABC organised the location.

Not too shabby for our first time?
I am such a CAI / AstinaGT virgin, but no longer!

hahahahahahahaha

:twisted:

Trav · 10-05-2003, 09:08 PM

KittyKatSmack · 10-05-2003, 09:12 PM

Yes, and you should see what fills it

:twisted:

There were some boys giving demonstrations, but I wasn't fast enough with the camera!

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Trav · 10-05-2003, 09:49 PM

Cosmo Dude · 10-05-2003, 11:21 PM

It was good to see you all

Good day out,
Kitty Kat Smack, thanks for organising the day,
ABC, thanks for the location (thanks to the sailing club as well),
Unknown Lada Niva driver, thanks for passing me with such pace. You kept the wollopers busy while I buzzed past at 130km/h (he must've wound the rubber band up realy tight).
Every one there, thanks for making the 1500km :shock: round trip worth while :wink:

Thanks ROD

JynX · 11-05-2003, 09:19 AM

BigBoyLemonade · 11-05-2003, 09:22 AM

Yeah ABC got the location, Kitty brought everything, I bought some tools and whatever I didnt have ROD had! ABC had tools to but I didnt see them till after

Thanks for the arse shot! KittyKatSmack!

How's your new sway bar??? does it stay harder for longer?

KittyKatSmack · 11-05-2003, 11:11 AM

mrpayner · 11-05-2003, 01:41 PM

Smart arses!! Not even removing the front bar!! Well, I only removed it to get the mesh in there.... honest!

:lol:

Adam

KittyKatSmack · 11-05-2003, 02:44 PM

I like the mesh look, very nice!

How much mesh did you use?
What type?
How much did it cost?
Where and how did you fix it to the front bar?

What colours have people used?
Where do I find pics?
What colour is Kitty coloured?

*Kitty's brainstorming again*

:twisted:

mrpayner · 11-05-2003, 04:56 PM

Kitty, we're giving you too many things to do!! HAHAHA :lol: :lol:

I purchased the mesh from Autobarn for about $45 i think. They come in a variety of colours. Silver, black, blue, pink! and red.

Fixing it to the front bar was easy. When you have the front bar off, just remove the black covers where the factory fog lights would go if you've still got them there [2 screws on each] and then you may have to cut little pieces out of the top of the mesh so it fits under the front indicator housing [i did anyways]. When you got to put the mesh on, just use the existing screws and holes from where those black covers came from and you'll be right!! Pretty easy, i think it took about 5 minutes when we had the front bar off. One thing to look out for though is the towing hook on the front of the car. I thought I had one [Dan must have been quick to swipe it!! :lol: ] but if you do have one, i'm pretty sure it's easy to remove. The mesh will look better without the tow hook there, as you won't have to cut the mesh to fit around it....

FUN FUN FUN!

Adam

KittyKatSmack · 11-05-2003, 05:09 PM

Autobarn ~ bane of my existence ~ will try supercheap first!!!

Pink on noble green????? er???
Don't know about that one......

Still have fog light covers, and tow hook. Sounds like a goer though.

Thanks Mr Payner!

Kitty Kisses (mmm, taste like chocolate!)

So, when's the next gathering fella's????

:wink:

JynX · 11-05-2003, 05:18 PM

I have a few pics of the mounting position for the mesh.

http://www.focus.net.au/images/astina/mesh

Image 238 shows it the best. Its easy to do, cut n screw.

Perhaps that can be the topic of ur next meet. Cut N Screw Day!

interesting.

KittyKatSmack · 11-05-2003, 05:31 PM

I like it Jynx, but you have to be there!!!!!

Planning stages for Cut n Screw Day it is!!!!!

astina · 11-05-2003, 05:35 PM
