Apollo Bay - 23rd March

Location/Time: **will put this in depending on if/who is coming**

I'll be getting my car back hopefully friday and the following weekend i'm going down to Apollo Bay for a quick look/scout at some more good spots for Photo's.

As most Vic would have seen... the Harbour area was great but there are about 3-4 other places at least in Apollo Bay i know of.

And i wanna check 'em out as i think there are some maybe even better spots.

That way we can make a HUGE cruise/photo meet on weekend, but the homework has to be done first.

Anyone who want's to come for a trip down again, it won't be a whole day thing as the 10th was... prob round trip of 7 hours as opposed to 10-11. And i'm trying to time it so there will be less traffic/more harder driving (such is what i go donw there for)

I have a house at Skenes Creek (10 mins before apollo bay) and we'll prob stop there for a BBQ/refresments before going home via otways/more photo locations.

Sounds good, i will be in for that. If it is only a scouting trip why doen't we car pool, we could take my car or if you prefer i could come with you.

Oops re-read your message, i guess you want to open her up. If there isn't too many people i would be glad to cruise in your car. If a few people come i will also take my car.

Keep in touch

Yeah... i'm going either way...

So i'm just seeing if people wouldn't mind coming if they aren't busy n stuff.

I loved the looks all the sky's got when we got to Apollo Bay last time

AL.... i've got a mate coming with me and i only want the one passenger... as i'll be... ummm, moving at a fair pace you could say, no offence or nothing :D

For those that know my car, she'll get a fair beating that day as i LOVE to push it.

Just post it up if ya can make it... but this will be a weather permitting event.

If it's raining i wont be going, not going to risk it with this car

NO OFFENCE TAKEN (i clearly understand :P)

So it looks like my car is going for another run. I see if my mate Mal wants to come again or maybe another mate, as it may be a bit boring by myself.

So far the date looks good. We keep in touch.

Hay just a thought, Mal may want to through around his Cappa, since this is not an offical Sky cruize.  Nothing like doin 90-100 clicks around bends, with the roof off in a car smaller than a mini.:(

yeh! get him to come. I was telling him on the day that he should bring it down one day. Cappa's are way cool :)

If he comes i'll have one more reason to come down on the day.

I wanna sit in it while he hammers it around the place ;)

Sorry bud, no room. It's only a 2 seater and i have called shot gun. :uh-huh: :D

Phoned him today, he said that he would be very iterested in coming.

Other than that i don't care what cars come along....

But will they keep up :) LOL

You may be supprised (sp?) it has a bit of go, and alot of handling.

But against a car with the heart of a R33 (that's what it takes to get some real go! :P j/k) he will be pushin it, AND trust me he WILL be pushin it (not in the litual (sp?) sense :)).

.... and a car the weighs in about 300 kg's lighter..... :D

heheeh !

i can't wait to see this little thing tear round the corners :D

Unfortunately something has come up on the 23rd, something that Mal and i have been looking forward to and may be helping out with.

On Sunday the 23rd, Calder Park management are running a "SOOPA CRUIZE". Basically a rip off of the summer nats. See attachment below:

Sorry about the late notice, but i only got this the day i posted my last message. If you want/can prospone the scouting cruise for another day (as i would still like to go on the GOR again) and come to Calder Park. The day should be MAD! (weather permitting).

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
