Yeah good nite, a big sorry to pokie I told you i wasn't comfortable takin you, lucky i didn't as i nearly came unstuck. a really good nite no piggies and no incidents, will pm you all next run, will try to keep it small like the last one, less attention. To you all a great bunch of guys no wankas no heros. next time all try to have 2way radios. try to keep too many details off the forum or pm ppl.

Hey Peter,

Thanks again, was a bloody good cruise. Good group of guys, good roads and great pace. Excellent work on the meet time and the depart time. 10-15mins waiting for people to turn up and then leave. None of this hanging around in carparks for hours.

Kamal - hope your stomach has recovered.

Cheers,

Stu

Thanks Stu, will keep u posted on the next run, maybe make it 1st week of april or last week of march will check my schedule. I think we'll keep it to the group we had , good buch of fellas. hows that last couple of corners eh?? Gonna Get rid of that HICAS, scared me shitless.

Had a ball in the red r33..... Got to do it again some time..... Hopefully my lsd wont fail agian (went into open lock - which made some of the corners a little interesting getting the power down around them)

My bro was in the front seat (Red 33) and filmed most of the cruise (got some good footage on gorge rd of Ax53 in front of me pushing hard and shooting flames out the zorst.

Had one close call (bit of understeer at one stage) but apart from that was an awesome run... One of the better ones i have been on. If eny one is interested in doing this again PM me with details -- (too much fun to miss)

What happened to all you other guys on gorge rd????? ax53 and myself had to pull over and wait for five min?? Hope noboddy spun or became unstuck---- I ended up leaving the cruise at lobethal as i live in the hills. Cheers for having me on it....one of the best cruise that i have had in a car!!!!!

Gotta get some radios boys and girls... make things easier in the future!! :D

No one came unstuck thankfully, you hung in there pretty good considering you had diff problems, be a little careful what you put on the forum as piggies watch this. we don't need to give them any more ammo, also the moderators might pull what we say.

Sounded like fun; doubt the bloody stagea wagon (read: heavy!) would keep up.

Must get that hiflow, and the suspension, and the......... etc.

Or ax, maybe the Fireblade? :D

I think you've been told before about the fireblade......... MUST HAVE 4 wheels unfair advantage...... plus we need a cop bait in the form of a wagon.

ROFL :laugh:

'sif a cop would ever pull over a 'Volvo' wagon!

by gods I hope not! :D

I have a mate at work who lives in the hills area, and over lunch we were talking about the weekend and he said " God Friday night i was sittin home watchin tv and heard these cars screaming past me, we'll be pickin them outta trees" I laughed and he asked me what i was laughing about I said mmmmmm I know who that was! HAHAHAHAHAHA how funny is that.

In short...about the Gorge Road, we weren't too sure where we were all going, so Madaz pulled over the side and we had a 5 min break :) Not like we were on your tail or anything to begin with :) Same time gave the cars a break on the brakes themselves :)

You need to get some 4 or 6 pot calipers! -- rip them off a write off 33 -- should fit rite on -- you wont beleive the diffference! You wont run out of brakes unless you push extremely hard.

Anyone got some old plates off a write off 33 ? I have to get some interchangable # plates! hehhehhehe (just joking)

    • You're not the first person that's said that about this car lol. A Touring wagon GT in Spark yellow mica would be the dog's danglies 😆 I will keep an eye out for a future purchase for sure. The seats are almost like the OEM Recaros... electric adjustment for fore/aft and tilt movements except reclining.   
    • Yes!! I love these! It's a shame its not the wagon though!   Thank everything that's holy that it doesn't have the interior of the Aussie delivered ones. Those seats are so much nicer.  
    • I'm both sorry and thankful that you do that. 
    • 2001 BE5D Subaru Legacy B4 RSK (3rd gen) EJ208 (pink injector) Twin Turbo 280PS 5-speed manual Full time 4WD "RSK" grade which means all of the above LQC option which means stock rear spoiler  I got it primarily to export to someone outside Japan who was interested. These BE5 Legacy B4 RSKs are going through a bit of a resurgence right know in Japan as they are one of the few cars from the "turbo, manual, RWD/4WD, 280hp gentleman's agreement era" cars that don't require stupid money to purchase. Which for some people might be a good opportunity to get as a base for restoration. If I can't find anyone to purchase it I will certainly be doing that myself over the long term. Why? Because it's properly fast in stock form, handles well enough for a GT sedan, there's still enough aftermarket and (if you can wait a while) genuine part support to make it a restoration candidate (<-- that will only get worse over time so it's a case of do it now or choose get a BL5 4th Gen). Mechanically it's fine, has only 89,200kms on the odometer. The problem with this car is that the body and exterior trims are weathered from at least the last 10 years being parked outdoors. I'm the 3rd owner, the first owner was the one that had it for 14 years and barely drove it, had a low-speed front impact (which didn't damage anything behind the radiator support) and got it fixed and sold it. The 2nd owner put most of the kms on it and parked it outside for the last 10 years, hence the door rubbers have seen better days but if you overlook those cosmetic details, it presents pretty nicely. There is some minor rust on the LH rear wheel arch which I'll have looked at too at some stage.  Also as you'd expect from a car this age, the clear top coat is gone, leaving a satin finish on the roof.  Mechanically it's fine (as you would expect from a car with less than 100K kms) but the steering does feel slightly vague around the centre position at higher speeds. So first on the list is to get the steering rack bushes looked at. There's also the Lock button on the remote which doesn't work, but the Open button does.... it means that the anti-theft system thinks it's always open? It seems like if you open the car and don't start the engine within 3 mins or so the anti-theft kicks in again without any beeps or signals. So if you got to start it after that, it won't. You have to push the open button again. That's how I understand it anyway. Just a small irritation but not a big problem to sort out. There's only one mod, the Wangan SPL muffler. Just a tad louder than stock. It's a really good mod for those who don't want to wake the neighbours but still want to hear a more prominent unequal length header EJ20 sound. Anyway I hope to get all those things done eventually, that is unless someone wanted to import it to their country from Japan (where I live). I'm open for negotiations as I really would like a Skyline... but this will definitely suffice in the meantime 🙂 *Disclaimer: This is how I picked it up from the dealer, minus the stuff on the back seat. I haven't cleaned the engine bay or done a thorough exterior clean, aside from spray painting the wipers. 
    • Wow, even with the Audi logo centre caps. I love OEM wheel mismatches.
