Hi guys,

A few of you came on the Get Well MR MEANER cruise we had a few weeks ago. Unofortunately Ash was unable to recover from injuries sustained from his car accident and passed away this morning. Gordon (Pres: STAR Crew), and everyone involved thankyou many times over for attending that cruise and supporting him/them when they needed it. I ask you once again, to please cruise with us, to celebrate Ash's life.

When: Sunday 30th April, 10am meet for a 10:30am departure.

Where: Nero's Carpark, Mandurah Forum: Cnr of Pinjarra Rd and Bypass Rd.

Same as the Get Well cruise, I'll organise a second meet point somewhere South of the River for people who can't be assed driving to Mandurah for the initial meet. We expect and hope this to be massive.

Please repost this in any and all car/motorsport forums. We welcome EVERYONE!!!

I'm expecting a fairly long cruise. From around lunch time till late arvo. We'll probably be heading on to a pub or meeting up later on for a few pre-wake drinks in memory of this top guy.

More details to come

Deano

Really appreciate this Dan, however, due to things needing to be attended to for Ash's funeral/wake, alot of people would be unable to attend if we held it this weekend, so we have to hold it on the 30th with a 10am meet for a 10:30am depart.

Appologies for the miscommunication.

Deano

Holy shit...

I'm sorry to hear this has happened.

RIP Ash, although it has been a long time since we have seen or heard from one another, you were an awesome bloke and you will definately be missed by many.

Will see what is happening, will try make it along for this cruise.

*reposted this cruise on TPC's website*

RIP, my thoughts go out to the Ash's family and his mates.

I've had the chance to meet him in real life and from what I gather, he was a good guy who will be sorely missed.

When I lose someone close to me, I think to myself that God loves them more hence wants them by His side.

My condolences.

No worries

SAUWA cruise date has been changed

All the best

Dan

It's a real tough time of day and day in particular to find places big enough to hold the amount of cars we're expecting. I've made the First SOR meet point at Woodman Pt carpark.

Where: Woodman Pt Carpark: Nyyerbup Cir off Cockburn Rd (2 nasty speed bumps need to be taken with care)

When: Should be around the 12 mid-day mark. If you really want to be sure you make it, come join us from mandurah!!! :worship:

For the people that still think this is too far south, we'll be at Kings Park around 1ish.

Hope to see everyone there...

Deano

best cruise we've had from mandurah yet, big up everyone who came along... was a relatively controlled cruise with people [generally] obeying all road rules and having an awesome day in the name of a well respected mandurahian.

some pics should be on the way shortly i guess.. still a lot of cars driving around with shoe polish on their back windows saying - R.I.P. MR MEANER - i won't be washing mine off for a while

cheers,

Dan

    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
    • What ECU are you running? This is probably the biggest question. If it's a PowerFC, I'd probably change the ECU and get something newer that will handle the injectors in a nicer way.
