Going from the spotted thread, it seems there are a few of us who work in the city:

MissR34 (Cara)

Myself (Lee)

Fishpaste (Andrew)

Paully

If there is anyone else in the city, make yourself known. :D

It was suggested by Andrew that we have an SAU lunch catch up at one of the food courts, maybe City X. Sounds good to me! If people don't want to/have time to meet up at lunch, how about just coffee catch up then in Rundle St/Mall?

What are people up for, im happy for either.

Cheers

Lee

I work at 57 Wyatt Street, between Pirie and Flinders, 5days a week. (Edit: 'cept when Im a so-called slack c**t due to not coming in due to sever/acute pain, but MEH not much I can do about it)

Would be up for a lunch catch up, for sure. Generally dont leave the office over lunch, someone needs to be available for queries/quotes etc (me), but count me in.

Dont bring my car in everyday - car pool with my boss.

Far out, there's more than I thought!

Seems like most people don't have that long for lunch, so how about we just meet for a coffee at lunch time? That way ppl only really need about 30-40 mins?

I'm thinking if we meet at (say) Alfresco on Rundle St THIS Friday at 1:00?

What do people think? If not everyone can make it this week, we'll be sure to do it again soon, and possibly regularly (every fortnight?)

Names not andrew :D

but yeah, i'd be keen, i think we were looking at having it from 1:00 to 1:30, is this good for everyone? anyone else sugest times??

i think a food court would be best so that we can all get in and out quick enough, with a nice choice of food

also perhaps we can do it fortnightly if people are keen?

what you guys think? prefered times? prefered eating locations?

spices rundle st. great, cheap, best noodles in town. best mi goreng.

also theres a little jap place in adelaide arcade around where ciao coffee bar is.

theres a few places. i recomend spices highly.

Yeah I work in the city too, at the IMVS on Frome Rd....don't have that long for lunch either, so coffee is a good idea. Would be nice to meet some more people from SAU. Not sure about this Friday, but will definately come to one in the future! :D

Sorry Fishpaste~ - What is your name then? LOL

(not sure why I thought andrew, oops)

I was thinking Alfresco as there should be reasonable seating for all and can just have coffee there or food, up to them. Spices etc/ would expect you to eat I think?

As for City X- if there is reasonable seating (ie. doesnt fill up too much at lunch) we could meet there too. I'd be happy to meet at City X if Fishpaste~ or someone can say there should be enough seats?

also theres a little jap place in adelaide arcade around where ciao coffee bar is.

Place is called Katsumoto and it's in Gay's Arcade, nice place but seating would probably be a problem as they're quite busy and small.

Any place is good with me.

I ususally lunch at my desk (bring it from home).

So personally I'm aiming for Coffee meetup but others are welcome to have lunch, so I think Fishpaste~'s idea of a food court should work as it seems not many ppl have long for lunch. A split meetup would take too much of peoples time/people not show up.

So I think for (at least) the 1st meet it should be City X at 1:00pm this Friday.

Perhaps meet at the Mall Entry end?

Only reason i sugested city x is because i remembered reading a thred about some awsome doughnut shop that people like was located in it

but anywhere is fine, i'd just prefer to stay round the mall (as i'll have to walk from a way down hindley st)

Gay's or Adealide Arcaide would probably be just as fine.. i think you might be right about seating, gonna be an interesting problem =P looks like there are 9 of us currently

but 1:00 isn't peak hour is it? and is everyone cool with that time?

Well not getting too much concensus happneing here..

Fishpaste~ I think lunch rush would be 12:00-1:00, so 1:00 shouldn't bee too bad.

I'll be at City-X Rundle Mall Entry at 1:00 this friday. Hopefully someone else turns up

LOL

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
