Thought it would be better if we started another thread to organise the Saturday morning cruise to DECA so that we don't spam up the event thread.

Was thinking that for SE suburbs, we could meet at:

SHELL Servo, corner of Warrigal road and Princes hwy in Chadstone, meet at 4.45am for 5.00am departure.

Then for the other guys, as suggested in the main thread,

BP servo at Heathcote Junction (roughly 15-20km north of donnybrook shell). Not sure on timing though, maybe 6:15 for 6:30 departure? Only 130km to DECA from there so it's not too far. Should have enough time to have breakfast at shepparton maccas.

Any thoughts, suggested meet points/times etc?

thanks for starting a separate thread Sandeep :(

Those meet points and times sound good to me.

I'd be meeting at the BP as I live close to the Ring Road

I'll post this link in the DECA thread on NS.com as some guys from there are comming to DECA as well

Good work mate,

How about a number for everyone else that might run abit late. Also there is a Maccas' on Western Ring Road if you want to use that as the second meeting point, then a cruise straight to Deca (or you can drop by BP at Heathcote junction to join up with everyone else), just suggesting.

See you at Shell warrigal.

Are spectators welcome at this event??? Or competitors only???

You're more than welcome, even better if you enter.

Mate i'd love to but need a few suspension tweaks before i do anything.

My Hicas is KILLING me.

Oh and i need my 100,000 service!

Spectating it is.

cool, so everyone is happy with those times? last time i think it took pretty much exactly 2hrs from toorak rd to shepparton, no stops. so we should have enough time for a 15min stop at the BP and then breakfast or drivethru at shepparton maccas, depending on roadworks/speedlimits etc.

btw people coming to SE suburbs meet, we will be taking citylink so you'll need a etag/daypass. or you can pay 3 days later (i usually forget to buy it beforehand).

mobile number is: zero four three two nine seven five six nine six, call me if you are gonna be late.. or if i'm late.

p.s. remember to switch your lights off this time Khoa :)

okay so apparently there will be some road works/lane closures on the monash section, so I'm thinking for anyone else coming to the Shell meeting point, we should meet at 4.30 and leave at 4.45.

For the people going straight to BP, try to get there around 6am.

i'll bring my cb radios along too.

We can take Princes hwy, at that time of the day the travel time is the same if not quicker. My sister works at the Airport, travelling there everyday so she can confirm this lol.

Just make sure you don't leave your lights on this time..

    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
    • The video for the servicing and fuel filter change can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44 One of the main jobs I wanted to do before the car officially went on the road, was to remove the awful looking blue silicone hoses. There's nothing wrong with having coloured silicone hoses, but I realise as I'm getting older I prefer monotone engine bays with a splash of colour on the engine cover(s). I cover this in a lot more detail in the Youtube video, so unfortunately there's limited photos of the process. The intercooler, upper radiator, boost vacuum and upper breather hoses were all changed to black silicone with mikalor clamps. The only blue left is a blanking cap at the back of the inlet manifold and the GReddy pulleys (which will be replaced for stock when the cambelt gets replaced) While the intercooler pipes were off I gave them a quick clean/polish too A before photo I do have a replacement air filter on its way. Fuse box covers were painted blue, they're now satin black Another job on the list while the bumper was off, is to add some mesh https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737966256_99b28bfa30_c.jpg[/img] I was hoping to use some thin wire to secure it, but it seems I've misplaced it and the wire I had was too thick to twist easily. I ended up using cable ties for the time being https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737131882_c2b7989dcc_c.jpg[/img] Was pleasant to see this https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737131627_8b2aab13b3_c.jpg[/img] The last thing to do was to fix the front grill and re-mesh that to match but I ran out of time The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4FsF6tgizE&t=23s
