the murray/ skiing thing is a good idea..... so long as no dirt roads to get to the property.

it does seem like my life revolves around my car at the moment, so valid point Erica. So long as you're buyin the wine, i'll share.

Whats something we could hire/ do if we all chip in a bit of cash?

Fine - here is one for you Brad. Next cruise -

Alice springs for a BBQ, then whip over to Ayers rock for a

quick photo shoot.

Dont laugh - I am serious! The LS1 boys & I are already talking

about it. So better save up for some 1:1 gears for your torry.

Barossa drinking session sounds fun - but could still be done with

a pack of Skylines & designated drivers(who's going to drive my cars?)

Murray Bridge cruise/ski is obviously a separate event but would still be great to do some time before the water gets too cold.

The next (& last Sat night) street drags is on April 5th - so that weekend is out for me as I am taking 2 cars & will be very busy.

How about we organise something for the last weekend of March?

Alice Springs woot.

Well if u want i can drive one of your Hot Rods for ya and be designated driver for the day, but thats your call. Either way im interested but im not taking my car. Either that or ill go with some one else. Im easy but would be good to go out for the day with the guys and girls :]

If i cannt drink, I'm not comming on a piss up. Even if it does mean driving the 34, EVO or Blue Hearted Monsta.:burnout:

What did I just say?!?!?!?!

I hope the SUNDAY MARCH 30th idea that Andrew put forward suits everybody, cuz it suits me (and Erica, being a Sunday).

The Alice idea sounds good but, last I checked you could not get premium between Port Agutta and Alice, that was back in January though so it could have changed. Hey brad ive normally got room for a passanger if you need a seat. Ill be at the drags on the 5th, hopefully they will let me run this time.

Seeing as the idea of a big get together is to put faces to names/alias' & get to know everyone, why don’t we organise a pub/restaurant/piss up kind of 'do' rather than a car cruise type of thing, yes? kind of like the LS1.com.au guys do. They have pizza nights.

We can book somewhere well in advance, everyone can have a few drinks, (organise group taxi’s - to & from - if need be) & plenty of time in one spot for everybody to mingle so on...

If people want to party on (casino?) afterwards then they can. Those of us with youngsters (there's at least a few of us) can get them looked after for the night & bring along the missus too!

Ok so this idea doesn't involve our cars much but we can organise cruises till the cows come home later down the track!

If you guys/girls like this idea then I'm suggesting we book in at The Bombay Bicycle Club on Torrens Rd, this place ROCKS! :D Then it's on the casino to win (more likely lose) some $$$ :D

Just a suggestion : )

Im sorta favouring Whatshisname's (Matt) idea of a social gathering rather than a car orientated event.

The idea behind this suggestion by Andrew was to get to know people in the group. An evening of wining/ beering/ bourboning/ vodkaing (for the sissies) sounds great I think. Get a few drinks into people and watch the social inhibitions fly out the window.

People could makje their own way to this Bangladeshey Bikers Gang Head Quarters (unless their are other ideas of venue), and then off to the casino sounds good.

A daytime cruise that was also bought up can be organised for another day, perhaps just not the day after!!!:D ouch.

Cool! I guess we'll wait & see how many are keen for the night out option. If it has a majority vote then when Andrew gets back we can start the ball rolling. Gotta' wait to get Andrew's gives the OK. He did come up with the idea :D

Hey John have you got a few spare bucks hanging around? Maybe buy a few Autech Stagea's as group transport for SAU piss-up nights :P Of course they'll need to have done @ least a 10sec pass as well :D

    • Please use a modern ECU. PowerFC with the Nintendo Gameboy controller is horrible. It's not 2005 anymore.
    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • 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
