Sauwa Friday Night Cruise *** Friday 10th August***


Recommended Posts

Wow we weren't expecting so many cars!! Obviously due to lack of maps haha that was my fault paul asked me how many he thought we needed im like "Cant really see anymore than 50 coming" But it was a great turnout!

The places we thought we would have cop trouble like Hillaries and Midland we had none. Cruise was pretty event free which was good. Even though the cops showed they didn't hassle us and noone got yellows from what i could see - i think a couple of people may have got a caution. Wish the cops were in Midland for the friggin V6 Commodore iwith neons idiot who decided to do the most unimpressive burnout ever.

Thanks to everyone that showed :(

funny thing is the 5 or 6 cops cars rocked up at malaga in a matter of minutes, they never seem to get to crimes scenes that quick or when u actually need them...we must have been doing something reaaallly BAD...f*kn cops

its more important to catch a hoon than it is a murderer or drug dealer in this state coz cars are an easier target for them

i liked how the cool guy in the commodore came back after wards and just casually goes "hey guys" LOL

I like the way he was ignored when he did this when all our cruise guys turned their back on him LOL then he just sat there for 5 minutes!

Was he waiting for someone to go up and say "wow man, cool V6 auto commodore with single spinning rear wheel, open da hood bro, lets see what makes dis puppy so dam impressive...actually, do you want to swap cars?" LOL

I'm really sorry I missed it, sound like you all had a good time.

Judging by what people are posting, I'm getting mixed signals about the police presence. Were they just hanging around to make sure nobody was misbehaving (fair enough) or were they being antagonistic? Is it true that they blocked the exits at one meet point? I wonder why they do that. Anyone here in the "service" and able to shed some light?

My mate in his White WRX got Hooned, Was really a good turnout tho even tho cops where around I still enjoyed myself, and a hand to everybody because I would say noone really did anything stuped Few quick squits and slight drag here and there but no burnouts and being stuped at the stops,

The car that crashed was a R34 not sure about any more details other then that.

Canot wait til the next SAUWA cruise

O PS: "7yphon slaps dan" Where the F^@k where you, you PICKER!!!!

I would not have said the police presence was over the top or anything. Think they just wanted everyone to know they were there and around so behave your selves.

Who was the hero that was mouthing off to the copper at Mindarie? Was your point made at all? That cop seemed friendly enough.

go here

he was the hero mouthing off at mindarie

What a tosser with an attitude problem A few guys were telling him to shut the f**k up and most others were shaking their heads in disbelief.

Overall though, a FANTASTIC turnout and a great cruise. Wicked fog and well behaved crowd :( I did have to laugh at the irony of the two guys at Mindarie beating each other up while the two cops cars were cruising around all our cars 100m away.

Morning all,

Good turn out last night, Good to see that most of us controlled ourselves in the conditions.

Hopefully everyone else made it home safely.

Scotty you are a bad man for buying a Honda Civic a real hairdressers's car.

    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
