Don't forget to pick up this little lost lamb on the way to the gardens folks!

I should also mention that this is not a track day so speed limits apply. Being a public holiday cops will be out in force so keep it under control.

As you come into Geelong pull into Macca's and we will meet you there, then continue to the Geelong waterfront botanical gardens.  I don't know were that is either, but nothing a Melways can't fix :P .

As long as your there Arrowz.....

We'll see ya on the way through to the gardens.

ok easties.. .we gonna meet up at the Ring Road maccas with everybody? because i'd prefer to skip that part if i can as its a bit out of the way.

From what i remember i just get on at Kings Way and straight down the westgate freeway.. Ring road would just be extra for me.

I'd be happy just to meet at Geelong at the botantical gardens. Is that still a goer for you interstate people?

Even if food is more expensive down there, there will be supermarkets and crap (from what i remember!) where we can buy meat, bread, tomato sauce (vital stuff), plastic plates, etc. Its not like in the middle of the bush :D

predator666....

i say you eastern guys could meet where we are picking up Silver Arrowz... just outside of Geelong

that way we go through Geelong as a group.

the lights will split us a fair bit (just they way they are) but that's everywhere.

Will look good for the first 10 km's with it being 3-4 lanes wide :D

APOLLO BAY

There are about 3 supermarkets down there from memory...

plus all the usual take-away's... etc. etc.

i might actually go the fish n' chips as the locally down there get's all the fish fresh of the fishing fleet down there, can't beat quality.

But see on the day. Not too phased

;):);) I may be getting my 'line back tempararily for the w/e!!! :D :D :D

Westsiders we meet at ring road macca's/mobile, then cruise at a legal speed to geelong and meet up with Silver-Arrowz and his interstate buddies, then continue to the gardens.

Should be great!!

See ya then

you go passed the outbound one and take the next exit ~ [about 500m] fitzgerald road, do a u-turn under the bridge and get back on the inbound side...its the only way thats worth doing from where we comin from...

    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
