I won't be able to confirm till that week unfortunately, but I'll also bring along some meat if I can come?

Sure, if you like, but there will be good meat there: I only get the good stuff! And the cost will be minimal: we're not looking to make money, just cover costs...

If you do decide to bring your own, please let me know when you pm your details, so I know how many we are feeding...

Cheers,

Micah

It's pretty much a foregone conclusion that Coomera BP will be a meeting point: it serves the best fuel down this way, and it's on the way to the Mudgeeraba Shell. We'll start working on meet time once I've done a recce run and worked out where we're driving to.

At this stage we're looking at a relatively early meet, so we can be at Myles' place for lunch. Watch this space for meet times.

Also, I need someone to volunteer to organise the Brisbane side of things (meeting points): it's not absolutely necessary, but I'm sure you guys would prefer to convoy down here....??

Was offering in case you wouldn't have enough, but if you'll easily have enough I'll just chip in the dollars instead!

There is a 99.5% chance I'll be there.

ETA: I don't know Brisbane very well but if anyone from the Sunshine Coast is going to head down then I can meet up with you guys somewhere?

It is going to be good! Stand by for the exact route, but we are going to have a cracker of a drive on this one (no speed limit FTW!). It's got a good mix of curves and straights, and the only b-grade roads are early on, and not that bad anyway... I'll repost when I have plotted the whole lot in whereis.com.

Stay tuned! :P

we might come along to this if it's cool. I just got my Stag last week and we don't know anyone yet but it'd be good to meet a few of you :P

sweet as cant wait to meet u pm me if u need help with and stagea stuff

myles

Ok: I have plotted the course we're taking, but between my lack of computer skills, my fluid damaged laptop, and Google maps, I'm having difficulty getting it to upload properly. Stand by, and I'll get Goldzilla to sort it out ( thanks in advance, Nick! ;) )

The plan is that we meet at Coomera BP by 8am, for a 8.20am departure. That way we have time to get fuel and a feed, if needed. It's a decent length drive, but there's a couple of places we can stop for happy snaps, and to stretch our legs :banana:. I will perform another recce run closer to the actual day to make sure the roads are still good (there are a couple of patches of roadworks at the moment, but they're not too bad)...

Hi All

I think I should be coming along to this if that's okay. Stag arrives here Tuesday, so should most defiantly be a goer for this. Hopefully get to know some of you etc.

If i come, ill be heading from the redlands ..ie the southside, so perhaps i could meet up with the guys coming down from the sunny coast around the logan or mt gravvat area depending on were i get on the highway.

Cheers,

Scott

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
