firstly, all you have to do is think of places you'd like to stop...

then the order you want them to be in...

then which roads you think would be fun to get from one pitstop to another, easy!

dude you would think its that easy not going to rave and rant just telling you you were lucky for not coming on friday nights cruise as it was f ing epic fail you could have driven the whole map without stopping in about 45 mins hahahahaahah sorry but ffs do ppl not know whitfords is only 5 mins from hillarys lol

and also would like to add does any one know if the money "raised" went to the said charity

also sorry for being off topic

end rant

hey guys, this will be my very first cruise and i just wanna get everything straight as ill be coming from bunbury with some mates.... its on the 30th which is this saturday.. and its in city west.. easy enough to find ...but im missing what time its gonna be starting? im really looking forward to it =P..

Yep, first meet point is at city west at 9pm =]

Bring your cameras folks

well thats kind of sucky as this cruise was for you lol...

hope the car is ready in time if not catch a lift with someone =]

Sif use a mechanic for coilpacks anyway, it's a 30 minute job :D

yeah do stuff yourself its cheaper and you actually learn about it, ive made a map that helps to show where city west is for those who have no idea,

yes i used paint.

no i cant be bothered opening fireworks.

yes it has pretty colours.

no the uploading thing isnt working.

yes you can pm me for it.

lol i would have done it myself, i even sealed the coilpacks but the seal didn't work properly so i'm having them completely replaced under warranty! thank GOD! so i get free coilpacks :D

EDIT!!!!: just called mechanic, part is in and my dad dropped the car off this arvo :) ok looks like i CAN go now! YAAYAYAYAYAY ... mind you hopefully it fixes it haha

only problem is a mechanic has to put them in for the warranty to count.. :S so it's possible it will be done today or sometime this week, but i was hoping to get gearbox issue fixed to! but that one is driveable..the coilpack misfire issue isnt :D the plan was to use gf's car ;) but since she freaked out over the 100,000km timing belt "if it snaps ur FKED!" whole thing.. she doesn't wanna drive her car ahh we'll see what happens :) hope i can come anyhow though

Hey Paul! That was my mates cruise, although I organized most of it. I wanted the map to be easy and simple due to the wet weather, and I was expecting more people. As for the map, I mixed up Woodvale and Whitfords. I felt pretty stupid, but it all worked out. As for the money, it definately will be going to charity. When we do donate it, we'll post the reciept up here to show were legit.

Again, appologise for the muck ups.

    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
