Well

What a day. About 380 kms .

We kicked off at Sandown at 8.30 and i was home by 4 pm.

The weather stayed good for us but it was still cold ish.

We ended up with 18 cars and headed up in to the hills and worked our way down some very nice twistie

roads going through towns such as Yarra Junction, Warragul, Korumburra,Wonthaggi, Cape paterson, in to Inverloch.

Were we took a hour out to stroll around and have some lunch.. We caught the eye of a local in a VL and yes he had a BLOWOFF valve

And he let us know more than once. :)

After lunch we headed back through Leongatha Korumburra and headed up through Bena to Poowong into Drouin and stopped at the Longwarry BP

To say thanks for coming and talk about the day.

I think it went well and as long as you all did thats the main thing..

Thank you all for coming and hope to see you all next time.. Keep eye open for THE BLACK SPUR run....

Post ya pics up if you have any.

Thanks

WOW!!

What an awesome cruise/day!!

Massive thanks goes to Wayne for the time and effort taken; that was clearly evident on the cruise and notes. I think it is the first time in SAU history that no-one took a wrong turn, got lost, did a u-turn, or drove on a gravel road; top effort mate, it is greatly appreciated, those notes were spot on. :cool:

Thanks Mav for letting me crash at your place, made both Saturday night and today all that more enjoyable and easier to manage.

It was great to see a few cars at this cruise, to my knowledge all made it safely and without any incident.

I had the most fun i have ever had in my car for a VERY long time. The car performed flawlessly and effortlessly all day. Big thanks to EAS for putting together a tough package. Today was the first real test it had since it has been on the road and i was pushing it to my limits in some places and it still had room to breathe. I am sure in time i will be more confident and be able to go even harder :) The tyres were my weakest link today and will be sorted in time.

Well i am definitely looking forward to the next cruise, but it's going to be hard work, matching the enjoyment had today.

THANKS AGAIN WAYNE :rofl:

Only 3.5hrs sleep and i am still awake off the buzz from todays cruise :yes:

Top cruise today guys.

Big thanks to Wayne for the perfect organisation, you did a great job, like Al said it was done very well, mapping etc.

The route was great, apart from a couple of stretches with terrible surfaces through the day, apparently i had sparks coming from underneath my car...(exhaust scraping the ground)

I have to say the Bass street or whatever it was was the BEST run for the day, after stopping at the servo for a top up with the white 180, we pushed it and caught up just coming into Drouin, and with no traffic it was NUTS!

Yeah a couple of cars running VERY rich...! :cool:

Wayne you outdid yourself mate. One of the best cruises ive been on i reckon, directions were pinpoint perfect and even when we all got broken up in the begining due to the 100 or so red lights, we all found eachother. Top job :merli:

First time out with the XR and even though it was a pig to drive through some the twistys managed to keep up with you all. The "Fully Sik" pink VL with his super street dose pipe was a sight to see :laugh: and giggle for all of us.

As for our international canadian guest she really loved it. nothing like a girl that loves cars and enjoys a nice day out on the road. besides the cold winds she had a ball, and couldnt believe Australia was so beautiful. Forest to beach in 20 minutes she was amazed. Only sour note was her first kangaroo sighting was a dead one :laugh: which we inturn named 'RoadKill'

A great day out and thoroughly enjoyed.

Cheers

www.carbra.com.au

About $450 (i think/recall) custom made fitted perfectly. They measure for all cars even standard bras. You drop it off, go for a walk bunnings is just around the corner, enjoy a snag, walk back to get your car and in a few days or later that week they'll call you and say it's ready to be picked up.

Moving on, where's everybody's pics?? I've never actually seen my car wearing a bra before lol or in a cruise of any kind as this was my first one. love to see some pics please. oh and by the way if you guys were wondering what i was doing letting a few cars past now and then during the day it was because i was getting sick of following the same cars arse the whole time i needed some arse variety! :P

You need to wake up 15mins earlier Chris, pitty you were late mate, missed an awesome cruise.

My wife even came and wanted to get coffee which took ages, didn't expect anyone to be on time.

not a big deal anyway I spent some good time at my mates new place at Portsea who happened to be there, that was Sunday.

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
