Hey, just something to raise an issue about.

What ive noticed is that victoria seems to be lacking small local meets. The big events are nice but some small meetup's should be organised around suburbs.

Ive been tagging along with my friend in his ozhonda club and they manage to have local meets nearly every week.

Some they have had are; late night carwashes, residential photoshoots (most shopping centres are happy for photoshoots ie. waverly gardens and monash uni) and just got back from a small meet/dinner at pancake palour at Glen Waverly

From my short time in the vic member section, sauvic seems to focus more around the large/major meets and it seems to lack the localness to it.

Im only saying this as i can only seem to find Westies and no east members floating around the board :(

Maybe once uni holidays start more local events may pop up, if not, i guess ill have to organise some.

Btw im located in Ferntree Gully area, so if any other vic member is around and interested in some form of meet up, post here so we can get the ball rolling :rant:

You could get some people together yourself, but our comittee runs numerous events so can't really be expected to be doing local stuff too. They already do an outstanding job of events.

Northside we occassionally have a breakfast at a nice cafe near my place, but that isn't even every month.

Thats the problem - everyone suggests it but no-one takes ownership.

But then if you really want to do local regular meets there enough other ones around. NS for example.

Thats it.

All well and good to make a suggestion, but most dont follow through.

Committee arent going to be responsible for organising mini/local meets. Its just time that we dont have free.

If you want something, do it :(

And i dunno about everyone being West... i'd say around 50% of members are all east

there isnt anything stopping you guys from brain storming or even planning one! Made this thread to spark the idea of meets to be planned by any members of the forum.

If anyone has an idea post up! Doesnt have to be planned. Just state a designated time/date at the local carwash/shops/etc and get the ball rolling from there.

    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
    • Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
    • You just need a different blue slip shop (preferably one you regularly use as a mechanic), and make sure the coil overs are as close as possible to standard height
    • yeah the sugar refining companies were pushing for the same in Oz originally, all fuels were going to have 10% ethanol to make them "cheaper" (noting, that the loss in l/100 might be greater than the decrease in price). I guess they won that fight in Canadia
