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

      Airbox for +T

      By BuiltNotBought · Posted

      I get you, we’ll see I’m aiming for 200ish kw now and hopefully 300rwkw down the line after some upgrades maybe like headstuds, E85 flex fuel etc  so trying to make it final for that now, I can get a GTT airbox for $280 so it’s not too bad but not sure if there’s better ways to spend that money. I seen online they say pod filter which isn’t enclosed isn’t good especially for a plus T.      hard to say what to do

      Airbox for +T

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Meh. How much power can you make from a +T anyway? I wouldn't have though it would be enough to challenge the airbox. It's not as if it's tiny compared with the turbo one. As to putting a pod in a stock airbox .... it's not the filter element that would be restrictive. It would be the air inlet to the box that would be the narrow point, which you could open up regardless of what element was inside. On my R32 I opened up the sort of triangular opening in the bottom front corner of the box, deformed (heated, moulded) some 4" stormwater pipe to fit to that opening and punched a 4" hole down through the inner guard to the spot where the stock intercooler used to be. This was purely in the search for a cold intake, but you could do something similar if you need to open up the inlet side of it. The AFM tube size is the same for both NA and turbo, so the outlet from the airbox is same same anyway. If you're going to do the right thing, then an aftermarket ECU won't care about the AFM (ie, you can get rid of it). But even if it was still there, people pull >300rwkW through them all day, and I suspect you won't be going there.

      Airbox for +T

      By BuiltNotBought · Posted

      Doing a +T on my car and I’ve read the precious forums lots of mixed reviews from sometime back.  checking if anyone has any ideas for airbox or enclosed pod filter or solutions?  I was thinking stock GTT box but some say it’s restrictive? I seen some people try fit in a pod in the box anyone done that recently?  not any good enclosed options ? Thanks
