We need a suitable venue first. I think we have the contributors sorted out Here's what I think we would need in the way of a venue:- Electricity- Running Water- Level Concrete Floor- Good lighting- Shelter from the elements- Plenty of space for cars- Toilets- Close to a Bunnings/Super Cheap Auto etc for those inevitable last minute parts - Not too far out of town incase anybody needs a tow home We could probably set a date once the venue is sorted out. Wondering if anyone knows of a suitable sheltered space for us to use for free or a nominal fee ala slab of beer or case of wine?Attendees- Would need to sign a waiver freeing the forum and members from any liability whilst attending the DIY Day.- BYO tools (not that you can borrow someone elses if necessary - but be prepared to pay for any damage to other people's tools).- BYO parts.- Contribute to said nominal fee incentive for the venue.

I.e do you need power tools or not etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Othewise it is wet wet wet for the coming weekends. Just need to double check with Daz.Here's the initial list courtesy of doc Daz I'm not sure what is achieveable in a public spot without getting too messy - so will refine the list accordingly.1. Tighten manifold bolts2. Lube and clean boost solinoid actuator3. Change spark plugs + coils4. Change tps + reset tps5. Change engine oil + filter6. Change fuel filter7. Clean throttle body8. Block of bov to make flutter9. Clean aircon filterBunna mate, did you want to contribute as well. Anyone else? I just need to get a loose idea of timing so that we can make a reasonable effort to get through things as well. Won't be any BBQ lunch at this stage, just bring along a cut lunch and have a picnic.
