Not in any pic I've seen. I wouldn't trust the provenance of a F&F out of Thailand in a fit!

Here's a good thread with lots of pics:

LOL I was just going to ask the same thing Mick.
What a strange place.
Kurt.
Apparently all the Toyota Corollas (apart from the Hybrid version) are now made in Thailand. They obviously have been manufacturing stuff for a long time!
Brisben
And the Ford Ranger work ute Kurt - turbo diesel and bullet proof


Christian - can you grab me one each of these...

Oooooooooooh Suntour Tange/Rhino frame (with looptail)!!! DIBS Ben................hahaha

In some ways it is getting back to normal, but in other ways it is far from it.

The central city, and the eastern beach suburbs, will never be the same again, thats for sure.

One thing though. There is nothing but praise for the Australian police that were over here helping. I have not heard one bad word spoken about them, and the general assistance by them, and Australia as a nation and the way it helped, has been nothing short of humbling.

A good friend (and neighbour) of mine is quite high up in the force here. He spoke extremely highly of the Australian police who helped out here. That kind of help goes a LONG way!

I've been to your town a few times in my life and it is nothing short of stunning, so to see all that distruction on the Telly, I can only imagine how gut wrenching it is to be there. This year has been a natural disaster shocker, totally unbelievable really...kind of puts stuff into perspective. I think that is why ANZAC's started, as you guys and us have always been looking out for each other. Just not in sport smile.gif

happy birthday mick! hoping ur having a good day smile.gif

norm nice hook up on the grpA
Happy birthday Mick enjoy

Is it just me or do other guys think a lot of these "new back on the scene" Aussie bmxers in the last couple of years are stinking up all our reputations in the US - and making it harder and harder to get parts shipped from the US brothers. Fair dinkum, it's like "Attack of the Aussie Internet Bogans"...

Could not agree more Kurt, seems our strong dollar has brought them all out ten fold......manners go along way....'

COASTY
Your 100% right Kurt. I was just talking about this very subject this morning.

On a brighter note. I've done a fair bit of swapping parts and tires today. I think I'm good to go. Really needed a decent set of bars but I think the oval stamped Vbars are good.

It's 4" off the back of the turbo to the muffler under the car, then 3.5" over the diff and to the back

diff is a 9" with 31 spline billet axles and a U.S Strange alloy diff centre and full spool

Skinnies are only there for the drag strip, they have heaps of flex in them so that you dont over steer and make the back of the car step out at speed

They are needed if you have racing slicks on the back of the car

Its been like that for a while. I just get parts sent to my brother in Canada now, thats IF they will sell to me.

1st you have to convince them you're a stand up guy, THEN if they wont ship to Aus, convince them to ship somewhere in the norther hemisphere huh.gif
