Hey fellas,

Shout out from my good mate Mitch from Balabka Design who will be there taking photos....

His online photography business is a sponsor of this event and it would be appreciated if you could return the favour.

If you want your car professionally photographed send me a PM or email him at [email protected]

Mitch has over 2 years of experience so you know you'll get some quality shots.

Check out his site www.balabkadesign.com.au for some of his previous work at Autosalon, track events, and even private car shots.

Cheers.

JUST LETTING YOU ALL KNOW I POSTED THIS ON FACEBOOK.

MY GRANDMA IS COMING IN HER OLD VK COMMODORE!

CANT WAIT...SUCH A GOOD CAUSE!

:)  hell yeah thats cool, i wish my grandma would come.

i'll be there for sure anythin to support this event!!!

i think it would be good if us SAU boys and chicks turned up together.....

there are going to be HEAPS of people there.

If we can stick with our SAU people during the cruise, It would be good:)

if i may suggest that we meet closer to the meet up spot. so if the official meet up spot is P5 then yeah meet at P6, cause if we are all coming from different directions then it will be easier. for me to come to krispy kremes means i would need to travel further than needed to get there.

just a thought.

does anyone know if its car park A, B or C?

and what about the car show thing happening at olympic park any chance that can confuse us?

well those who want to meet up at krispy kremes ill organise that

how to get there: its on cumberland hwy, if coming from hume hwy it the first right at the 2nd set of lights

if coming from parramatta way you should see the Krispy Kremes sign before you get there on your left

there is a woolworths caltex opposite

i'll be there from 9am I'll be in a burgandy red R31 (r31 club stickers)

We'll leave about 9:30am

we'll will turn left onto Cumberland HWY

then left onto Hume HWY

then left onto Stacey/St Helens/ Silverwater rd

then we'll turn right onto Holker st (not far after the great western)

and that should take us right to the carparks

does anyone know if its car park A, B or C?

and what about the car show thing happening at olympic park any chance that can confuse us?

There is no car park A, B or C. its simply P5. just follow the signs.

so anyway if a few of you want to meet at krispy kremes first then thats cool. im just saying before we all go into the official meet we meet in P6 that way we can all cruise together for the day. im just not driving all the way to liverpool to krispy kremes just to come back to olympic park. so if we all meet at P6 between 9 and 10 then at 10- 10:30 we make our way into the main meet in P5.

anyway thats what im doing.

as for the "car show thing" if there is something else out there then i dont think we need to worry. we know where we need to be.

    • 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.
