Ben Simpson Memorial Cruise - 2009


Recommended Posts

some nice cars out there, lil dissapointed by the boys in blue over use of the yellow sticker.

they had 3 cars and a defect bus there attacking randomly as many people as possible while the cruise was leaving. showed a lot of disrespect to the memorial and to the charity we were donating to in my opinion, very disapointing.

Some nice cars out there, Got some nice pics as well, lil dissapointed by the the cops wrecking the start to the night. But the rest of the night was great :huh:

Showed a lot of disrespect to the memorial and to the charity we were donating to in my opinion, very disapointing.

Hope to do it again next year and see ya all there.

I was under the impression they don’t just drive around in that van, meaning it was preplanned prior to the meet up. 1 guy acting a fool, he deserved to get done. but even if that’s what sparked it, wouldn’t you expect just 2 to 4 cop cars to be there.

yes they could have blocked exits and it was good they didn’t go that far, im sure hj's woulda been happy with them getting attacked in the process.

also depends on the defects if its for 2 bottles of nos hanging out the bonnet then all well and good. but a suspected bov type of defect would have grounds for a "wtf im here to donate to charity"

accountant here, care factor for spelling very minimal :huh:

any 1 get defected for low mounted teddybear?

Old Jules and I wish to say a special thanks to everyone on this forum who attended...your continued support means so much to us.

hey guys,

don't own a skyline (black 09 subaru liberty gtb) but came out on sunday. great event and was more than happy to contribute to your cause.

keep up the good work and will catch you guys (and girls) next time.

Woo my car in Video 2 @ 3:12.

First cruise for me, had great fun. After leaving the start, was following a group down, got stuck at a set of traffic lights, the rest went ahead. So it was me, a Subaru, and a sprinter (corolla, or something)...we had no idea where to go, so we kept going straight :). The Subaru pulled over to the side of the road, the sprinter kept following me, i had no idea where to go, other then into the hills, so that's what i did. I eventually decided to pull over and talk to the guys behind, i told them i had no idea, but i had a GPS. So i said the meet point is at loberthol, we'll catch up to them there. Off we set, just me in my skyline being tailed by a sprinter, he kept up quite well even though i wasn't going too hard. We eventually came to an intersection, and low and behold, the cruise was going past as we got there, i then got behind a Toyota mark II and followed him, he was behind the Hummer - that thing was insane to watch. So i eventually got to the meet point, and then managed to keep with the pack for the remainder. From the meet to the end, i was following the white Subaru "Mr Ed", i also had another Subaru behind me i think.

But all in all, had fun, definitely want to go on a practice cruise, and definitely want to go next time...hopefully next time is also later in the day so i can make it. Thanks Mark and Jules for organizing it.

Thats why I stopped filming until the 2nd group arrived - group 1 was spread out too far apart - had few cars coming every few minutes. I guess the minutes of no cars showed who the noobs were in the "group 1" lol

Was my first time filming something like that so next time = bigger memory card - 4GB aint enough to film the whole arrival at Lobethal at 720P, tri-pod - stop the shaking, and film the whole thing and cut out the empty scenes.

jesus christ. enough with the knocking of police. they came in and defected a 180 after he was a bit of a muppet leaving the meet point about half an hour earlier. and then he decided to come back and bought the police with him. police cars had been cruising through since i got there at about 6:30 and not doing anything to anyone until the guy in the 180. he got what was coming.

i think in total there were 2 or 3 defects, which out of the nigh on 500 (!!!) cars is a pretty good result, and by good result, i mean LESS THAN ONE PERCENT! obviously bad news for the guys that got done, but if the police really were out to get us, how many people do you think wouldve left the meet point without a fancy new sticker on their windscreen?

yes i think the police shouldve exercised a hasty retreat after defected the first car, but honestly, if you werent there and paying attention, dont comment.

the dude left to get petrol with some of his mates, i don't see how that is any " muppet" sort of behaviour. how is it that your so quick to judge him, when the only thing he was trying to do was support this cruise, wasn't that the point of people coming. i'm sure if this wasn't a charity cruise, he would have even bring the thing out! i don't believe anyone who came deserved being defected if they werent doing anything wrong. its really sad that the amount of people that think the percentage of defects were "reasonable" was ok, what if that percentage happened to be you or one of your mates? you'd really think that would be ok then?? the worst part of it all, was it was a cruise to support something special, so your a total d*ck for saying what you said

regards di

more sau love :(

how about a agreement to disagree

scandy feels fine and dandy as there was not a crazy usa type police crack down scene

dan thinks it was preplanned attack on the cruise in the interests of boosting the economy or something like that

stranger danger man feels he wasnt acting a fool and did not deserve to be defected.

so did you actually see us leave and can you explain how he was been a soo called muppet i can tell ya one thing ya muppet i can seriously vouch for a very good mate of mine that he didnt do anything stupid leaving or coming back oh and if he was been stupid i must of been drivin like a dick too cause i was right behind him now if u remember soo well about this certain incident u could tell me what car was behind that white 180 DID YOU EVEN SEE THE CAR IN PERSON !!!!!

i love opening cans of worms.

i heard someone caning it down the road, looked up and saw the car in question, so sue me for making an assumption that it was infact that car responsible.

yes, youre right. forgive me for hearing a car caning it, looking up and only seeing one car driving and putting 2+2 together. how very stupid of me.

if you wanna continue this conversation, pm me.

headachetext. commas and full stops were invented for a reason man.

It really makes me laugh when i here this, people think that cos there not doing anything wrong that it is wrong if the cops give them a defect :P If you mod your car illegally, then you deserve to get a defect at anytime. Just cos its a cruise for charity is no reason for people to get away with driving a defectable/dangerous car.

    • Please use a modern ECU. PowerFC with the Nintendo Gameboy controller is horrible. It's not 2005 anymore.
    • 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
