Hello fellow Syncro travellers

Warm Greetings from Sunny Sawtell,

My name is David Leibmann and I purchased a blue trakka 1991 Syncro from a very pleasant couple from Canberra a couple of weeks ago. My wife and I got on 2 flights packed with pillow, sleeping bags and basics and after a wonderful 2 hour test drive were convinced this was our new baby. With oil, tyre pressure, coolant, etc checked, I almost forgot visit to the bank, we sailed down the Highway making it to the waters of Gosford for our first night on the open road. Sporting a oil leek (harmonic seal) regular oil checks were required along with a light right foot. We just replaced the mix of tyres and put 4 Toyo H08 on the original 14 " rims. I honoured to be a part of the Syncro club and I`m sure the sun will be shining on us whereever we travel in this amazing machine.

Cheers David Leibmann

David,

Please tell us where you live so that you might be able to hook up with fellow Syncronauts.

It essential that all four tyres be kept at the same diameter to ensure that your VC has a long and healthy life.   There is information in the files on how to measure them accurately.

Les

(And this answers the question about what happened to the Canberra Syncro!)

Hi Les,
I live at Boambee East next to Sawtell. All tyres are now identical and interesting the Toyo seems to need a km or so to warm up to a temperature where it is very grippy. I looked at Yokahama, Perelli and Michelin and am pleased I went with the Toyo. An interesting post about wheel alignments in earlier posts for syncros.
Cheers David

Hi there David.

Welcome to the syncro nutters club.

I met you and your wife briefly at the Sawtell Winter Break a few weeks ago.

My eldest daughter dragged me off to do something and by the time I looked back up you were gone.

Nevertheless, we have a general meet and greet at Harts garage around New Years day in Port Macquarie which is just a couple of hours south of you. You're welcome to come along if interested. You're also welcome to come to the Old Bar Kombi Festival in a couple of weeks time if your interested?

Attached are a couple of photos of your syncro if I have the correct van.

Enjoy the ride.

Cheers,

Skot

Hi Scott,
I met some good and intesting people at the Sawtell meet but couldnt stay long because of work. I`m sure if I saw your face I`d remember you. Thanks for the info of the upcoming meets and hope we can catch up then.
Cheers David.
