looking for some clear roads - to clear out any cobwebs you might have, hence the 8.45am depature

my old bike riding route, although I used to leave at 7am and be home at 10am, 300odd kms and a few breaks :D

expect a lot of corners

expect a reasonable pace on some roads

more of a "test your stag" than a cruise

turn up the boost

8am I'll be there, shivering Im sure :D Old Reynella St.Francis / Foodland car park .... parked around the lake

8.45 - leaving Old Reynella

9.00-9.10am - Clarendon .... wait for latecomers for 5mins, hit up the bakery if you wish

9.25-9.30am - Meadows, driving thru

9.50am - turn off to Mt.Compass

10.10am - Mt Compass - the place to be if you cant make Old Reynella or Clarendon

hit up the bakery, and be out of Mt Compass by 10.30am.

then its off down south to a number of other areas. to many to list.

finish at midday at Victor Harbor, have a chat, lunch

1pm - casual drive back Main rd to your homes

Hey guys, it just so happens that my wife and I will be in Adelaide on that weekend.

I've been telling her for years that we should go and have a look around. Only there for the Friday, Sat, Sun and Monday.

I haven't been there since 1994!! She's never been.

So if someone want's to offer us a ride...... well I'd love to get to show her Victor Harbour and meet some of you guys, and have a beer!

I would be also very happy to print up some more Stagea Stickers, and some pennants and bring them along!

Any offers?

OK I just looked it up on Google Earth..... about 18km's from your meet point!!

anyone coming through the city... and can detour to Flinders Park... bloody hell that's an early start!!

Oh well I know what happens if you hang around too long, you never get going.

lucky I am an early riser, (so let me see that's about 4am WA time that I have to get up in the morning!!!)

My missus might take a bit of convincing! ha ha....

It'll just give us more to talk about !!

8:45am sounds a bit more civilised!!

OK, who's going to volunteer to give us lift to the meet point?

I can borrow a car, but I don't know what they'd think if I left it in a car park all day!

I guess Taxi's an option......

Hey Brendan, won't be able to make this one :rofl: Black stagea has suspected solenoid problems in the trans. And silver stagea has a buyer. Will be Stag-less for a while.

Might show up on the bike :bunny:

As some of you may know, I'm wrecking a S1, if anyone is after some parts for their cars, I can bring certain parts along to the cruise for people to inspect possibly purchase.

When I say certain parts, don't expect me to lug a trans along for the ride.

Shoot me a pm if you're interested in something inparticular and I'll let you know if I still have it.

S'OK, we are able to use our friends car for the whole run.

So we'll tag along at the back....in the Camry!!

That way we can stay at Victor Harbour if we want.

See you guys there..... anyone want more Stagea Stickers?

    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
