Love it or loathe it,the movie series of The Fast and the Furious have propelled import cars into the mainstream limelight. OK,so far from everything in these flicks is accurate,but for a bit of mindless fun for an hour or two,I'm suggesting that Team SAU have a night out at the movies with the new Fast and Furious 3-Tokyo Drift movie(and you can check it out here: http://www.thefastandthefurious3.com/main.html ). It's released on Thursday June 15th,and I'll be heading to Hoyts Woden for a look;I'd love it if you'll all come along! At this point in time,they haven't released times nor tickets,but there's always showings around the 6.30-7.30 area,which I figure is late enough for most to get there after work,but early enough it doesn't make for a late night for those that have to be at work early the next day(or need their beauty sleep...like me,LOL). As soon as a definate time is available,I'll post it and I'll see those that are coming there! Buying your tickets in advance would be advised,and showing up early as opening night is always a s**t fight to get tickets and/or a spot in the line.

There are people that hate these movies;fair enough that's your opinion,but I don't want or need that negativity in this thread:start your own beat up somewhere else. However,those that love this type of flick,feel free to come along for some fun!

This'll be a good chance to meet & greet some new faces,and catch up with old friends. If there's enough that want to,we may even take a few spots at Barbars afterwards...

I'll be suggesting the same thing for the www.valvebounce.com crew and the www.gtrydaz.com squad too,so hopefully it'll be a good roll up!

See you all there! Jayce.

As per our chat, I'll be there my friend.

Hope to see some more of you out there too!

I think Babars afterwards and an in depth breakdown of the movie is a must (i.e. "Didya see the mad rack on that asian chick in the 27th minute" and so forth).

would it be possible (if enough people) to get a group discount?

I believe we need around 150 CONFIRMED payers to get any sort of reasonable discount...but I'll look into it further...

I'm sure with enough forum members and partners we could manage 150 people. I'll talk to my manager friend at Woden Hoyts and find out more.

Nice! Now we have an "insider" connection,LOL! Go Pete go!

It's strangely quiet from the rest of you lot;so how 'bout it?!?

    • Before all the EFR fan boys come in, have a look at: https://www.garrettmotion.com/racing-and-performance/performance-catalog/turbo/g-series-ii-g30-825-58mm/ It also comes in a T4 1.06 divided housing. I would dare say if you want response & also decent power, this thing would chop.   AND apologies, just re-read your post, you've already bought the turbo... whatever you do, make sure you stick with divided housing and proper twin scroll manifold.
    • People have got to stop doing that. ShatGPT is not a search engine. It is a hallucination factory.   I also would recommend the 1.05. The .83 will "work" for you , in that it will be more responsive, but I think you'll find that it won't be anywhere near as good running it out to 8000rpm as the big housing will be.
    • Decided for the first time ever I would tow my car TO the track day on the same working theory as bringing tools and spares "if I have it I wont need it, but if I leave it behind i will 100% need it" all setup and ready to go out and try these A050 for the first time First session showed I needed to stiffen up the dampers a touch but still managed a few 1:21's without much effort. things were looking good. Came in a dropped the tyres down  to 26/28 as they had gotten to 35/33C from 22C cold The first lap of session two I managed to drop into 1:20's. Then in the second lap into the second session. Coming into T3 and I suddenly lost brake pedal followed by some huge rear end vibrations and scraping sounds. Got it back into the pits after session ended and found this. in the attached video, all of the wobble is in the hub its self, wheel is mint, and bearing feels tight. lKXLqpd - Imgur.mp4   Deciding it was a bent spindle I tried to find bearing/hub assembly locally but was unsuccessful so it was loaded back onto the trailer i luckily brought it on to drag it back home  
    • 1.05 you’ve gotta let it breath 
    • You have to continuously fill it to avoid dry running. Personally the transmissions I've serviced have never been bad enough to justify doing this because it is definitely a pretty complicated and somewhat risky procedure compared to simply draining the pan, measuring what came out, then refilling with the exact same amount.
