Oh wait, I remember that trip

Golden line from Paul: "Hay guys lets go find some DOOD'S"

Remember the wrangler that we hired and drove to Drag Combat? kekekegay.gif - Merli mastered the 4 wheel burnouts in that thing

Good times

Wasnt it just Andrews driving in the Wrangler???!!! lol

Yes was a funny trip indeed.

How about those bogans @ the servo ni the middle of whoop whoop on New England HWY, 3 x White R33 GTST rock up and sure enough quote, unquote by bogans " Wow look at those Ferrari's"...... :)

ahahahahaah

Indeed.

Does anyone mind if I actually get back to talking about dinner?

Have we ever actually had a dinner in any other area? I don't want to reignite an old argument but, from memory, most of the non-northside dinners were canned because the "regulars" didn't show support for any location mentioned which was south of the bridge :)

Not exactly a great way to enourage people to come along.

Kel, I think we need to hear some suggestions for suitable venues that meet the parking and price criteria.

Any ideas?

we are definatly coming it just down the road for us. I would travel to most places aswell if I didnt finish work so late. We are still getting use to traffic and to get out to some of the place you have mention seems a bit hard....

But it going to be cool to meet up with some of you and talk cars....

yeah its pretty pricey... you're hard pressed to get out of there under $40 for just on one main meal! given most of them are huge, but still..

you must be going to a different ribs and rumps lol. a big serve of kobe beef at either manly or gordon R+R is approx $80-$100 + drinks. even a 500 grammer is like $60. I think average there is around $80 a head.

Happy to come up with some and post later in the week - some of us actually have to do work at work :)

I'll start a seperate thread for everyone to make suggestions.

yeah notice I said "hard pressed to get out of there under $40...." which is what most of the cheaper mains are priced at. I wasnt talking about kobe specifically...

    • 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
