as long as we dont drive like tools.. we should be pretty cool, we no different than a bunch of bikers in a group.. except less facial hair :P hehe

yes i estimate 3 1/2 hrs - 4 1/2hrs each way depending on traffic obviously.

looks like we got one line to meet up with at geelong now at the bunnings (im assuming there is only one?) im refering to the big ass one that is on ur left when u enter geelong from melb heheh :(

mark

except less facial hair

uhh, dunno about that - look out for a lanky, unshaven, and long haired guy in a burgandy 32. :(

Yeah the big bunnings on the left as you enter geelong with the Burger King in the car park.

Hey fill up at BP just b4 Geelong, as it has BP Ultimate :(.

Hope we could make this a short pit stop, as i prefer to use BP than Mobile or Shell. Have only used it twice, but noticed a +ve differance in response, both times.

James, i will give you the money for the T's and stickers then, unless we meet b4 hand.

Jack, are you coming to this? If so bring the skid pan pics so that i could give them to someone else :(.

qikshift: You're doin' a mad job, keep it going buddy.:P If ya need any help with anything drop us a PM and i will get in touch.

TO ALL NEWBIEs, WELCOME AND FEEL COMFORTABLE IN JOINING US ON THIS CRUISE. DON'T FEEL INTIMIDATED, AS SAU ARE MADE UP OF A GREAT BUNCH OF GUYS AND GALS! :uh-huh:

Probably one and a half tank for me because of the auto.  My estimation is that my full tank only last about 350 ks to 400 ks

Cool funky we can be the tail-enders haha

That way we can make a detour if guys start getting pulled over at the front hehe :(

no..... That way the cops can pull you over as your ass will be toooo slow to get away! :P :shake: :bahaha:

al: cheers mate i'll pm you if i need anything :P

ummm i think they are all 98 octane.. however i have heard on the grape vine that optimax puts alot of other shit in it.. rofl dont ask me what.. .. i usually stick to bp ultimate or mobile 98 octane :(

hey anyone that is willing to pick me up from the Chadstone area?? i need to get my car serviced hopefully next week and i should be ready buy the time the cruise is on. If it is not would anyone mind giving me a lift. I'm willing to chip for petrol and all. Asking just in case. Pm Me If Anyone is willing. Cheers Rob

Where's the last pitstop that has 98RON petrol? Last time I was in Apollo Bay I dun think 98RON ever existed there...

Is that BP before Geelong the last one with 98RON?

What about on the way back, are we going the same way or thru the rainforest?

    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
    • What ECU are you running? This is probably the biggest question. If it's a PowerFC, I'd probably change the ECU and get something newer that will handle the injectors in a nicer way.
