Listen up Peeps...

I've had this topic up in the Members Area for a few weeks now... ...and now the time is upon us...

We'll meet at the Doncaster Park-and-Ride near the north end of EastLink and head down to Frankston... ...There we'll meet up with our southern brothers and have a bit of a meet and greet, and maybe something to eat... ...Any suggestions for a southen meet point would be appreciated... ...Then we'll all saddle up and head back up north to the Park-and-Ride... ...Where we can hang for a little while... ...and those from the south can head back down...

Some people have expressed interest in going down in daylight and coming back at night...

I'll leave the poll open until Thursday 3rd of July...

***Some people want to do it this weekend... ...but I already know of two councils that are doing a number of bus rides for elderly and disabled groups... ...And I'm sure there would be heaps of other groups doing it too...***

there's a pretty sizeable carpark on the other side of frankston here. it's about 5 min outside of frankston (basically, jump off the moorooduc hwy at hastings/frankston-flinders rd, down to the nepean hwy and we're there)

there's another big carpark near the peir, but it's usually a lot more full, but there's a decent fish and chip joint right near there too :D best souvas ever

Both those sound like good places... ...The one near the pier also looks like it is closer to places to get something to eat... ...The one on your map looks like it could be a good rally point to start with...

That carpark is in Frankston, it's heading towards the base of Olivers hill and under 1klm from the pier carpark...There's my house :).... recently named Victoria's cleanest beach. woohoo

If you do the run on opening w/end you might get some media coverage....I know there's also a massive bike run on the day. It might be nice to get a skyline on tv for something goodish/non hoon like.

yeah the one near the pier is closer by far to the main drag and all the takeaway joints. down side to that is it's often hard to find parking for ine or two cars, let alone a biggish cruise. hence the suggestion of the further away one. the only reason people park there is for the beach (which is minimal this time of year) and club meets. you'll often see a few nice rides down there, but i'm sure we'd be welcome if there was another meet at the same time :)

it's gonna be a carpark on opening day. every asshole and his dog will think they are the only person going down and it will just become frustrating

i'd rather go down there at the speed limit. but not over. it's COVERED with cameras

it just occured to me, there's a cruise up arthurs seat on the 13th as well... we could just skip frankston alltogether and stay on the peninsula fwy :) go all the way to the meet point in arthurs seat then back to doncaster once we're done there

that would be made entirely of epic and petrol consumption

it makes a lot more sense for me, being from box hill it would save me doing the eastlink part twice in 2 weeks. once for the cruise, and secondly for the arthurs seat cruise. you're right... this could get expensive

    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • 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.
