Do you guys want to just meet there and drive in as a group or do you want to do the cruise in the morning as well?

I was under the impression that the cruise was for formal clubs only that have registered to attend on the day but whatever.

Last year we met at 8:30 near the bowling alley in Belco and drove in as a group. The beauty with this show is that you can drive in and out whenever your like. However the problem with getting there late is that it's hard to find a nice place to leave your cars. We were basically dead in the middle of the whole show last year which was pretty cool, but there was no shade. Anyway, I'm happy to turn up whenever...

Who wants to get there with the cruise and who wants to get in there early and who just wants to roll up when they please?

From reading the council of ACT motor clubs website it says that people that drive in as part of the big cruise from Commonwealth Park are entitled to preferential parking at the actual show. When you turn up to the meeting spot they give you a small window sticker that gives you preferential entrance and parking for the show.

The meeting spot for this cruise is the futsal stadium on Barrine Drive next to Commonwealth Bridge. For those that don't know where that it, that's the spot next to Commonwealth Avenue where the circus always sets up every year, opposite Regatta Point.

So if we want a good spot then I spose we should head in as part of the main cruise, which is from 8:30am to 9:15am. I guess what we could do is meet there at 8:45-9:00, get our stickers and then roll in as a group whilst looking mean :P

Bear in mind that if you want to attend you don't NEED to be there early - you can drive in and drive out any time. Get there at 10 if you want to.

I guess we should start a list of who's going, hopefully everyone that's posted previous is coming, we might have a top turnout like last year!

Same deal as the Christmas cruise - copy the list and add your name to the bottom :)

Have some pics

I'll post up some more pics of the other cars a bit later on when I can be stuffed clearing out more numberplates :P

I had a pretty good day all in all, it was a shame we didn't have the same turnout as last year.... though if we did I don't know where everyone would have parked! Apparently they had about 550 cars, about 50 up over last year. Some very nice cars there today.

Was a good day out. i loved the fact that we parked right in the middle of all the toyota boys and stole the spot light! HA HA!!! :sick: great to finally meet CeJay and SL33KY. some nice cars there. shame we didn't have a bigger turn out, as has already been said. was impressed with how many people were gawking over Bluprints car, nice work mate....

oh, and SL33KY, love the ride girl! im not usually a fan of big chromies, but yours was just the right amount of bling. and keep an eye on those shiney new head lights of yours... they just might go missing, and some how, end up nestled in the front end of my car!!! HA! :P jks

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
