Thought i might start a Cruises Forum.We can all put in some ideas about where you'd like to drive to.I was thinking we could do a coast run.We could all meet at a place that is convenient for everyone then all head off as a group.For example if we all chose the (Bay) we could stop in at braidwood for refreshments,also check out the model shop,(Which is a bloody good shop)if ya into 1:18 scale cars. From there we all head to the (bay),Once there,get some lunch or afternoon tea,depending on what time we get there.Have a chat and get to know any new faces,then once our belly's are full and we've had a good yak! We could all head back to canberra.We could even do a trip throu the brown mountains, and throu Bega etc. So! idea's idea's. Also a good thing will be if anyone is unlucky and there car stops working, they wont be short of help,and if someone falls behind we should pull over in a safe spot and wait till they have caught back up.I think if we go as a group we should arrive as a group. It will turn more heads,thats for sure. So! what ya's reckon. Where would you's like to go. :(

I'm up for a cruise to the coast, it's been done before, but I'm sure theres people here who havent gone there with sau, Going to bega is a fair way though. Wouldn't mind checking out the shop you mentioned in braidwood either.

It's a good shop.The guy seems to get cars you cant find in most places. It was the only place i could find a R33 GTR V Spec, unfortunatly it's only a 1:64 scale as they dont do 1:18,but you can get R32's and R34's in 1:18 and there are many different types. The last time i was there he said he had a little over 500 cars on display. And each one different.It bloody looked like it too.

MR2 Club loves the tidbinbilla runs. The route that we take has variety of roads from fast curves to tight hair pins, up hills & down hills... all at speed limit of 100km/h, so you can still have fun while being legal.

This is our usual short cruise route:

- from Cotter Rd

- Right turn to Uriarra Rd

- Cross the little bridge up north

- Left turn to Brindabella Rd (hair pins)

- back on Cotter Rd (near Cotter dam)

- Paddy's River Rd

- Discovery Drive (Australia's smoothest road)

- Stop at Tracking station for coffee & snack

- Head back to Canberra

I drew a map for this year's MR2 Nationals where 1st half is above (Map 1 ~ 7)

In fact, Brindabella Road was once voted one of the best roads in Australia by some Motorcycle riders association.

That'd take a whole day that cruise Anthony! =O

One of those cruise usually about 2~3 hours - most of that will be chatting in the car park, eating or taking photos.

Drive itself will take about half an hour - depends on the traffic.

But it's a great drive, right in our Canberra's backyard. Recommend it.

    • ok so if i wanted to go 18's i would go for 8's  in front 30+ or 32+ off set at front and the back 9 would be ok? what offset should i aim for.. then can i do some  hunting for wheel rim choices..    If i get this - will this fit all around: Size: 18 x 8.5 +37 - n what tyres size tyre should i get for front n back?  
    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
