Okay just had word back from work - at the moment, I'm 100% in!

I'll just need dates and stuff because I have alot coming up in the next few months, but most of the stuff I can work around.

Great stuff.. dates are in first post.. approx 11th-22nd Jan so I have booked with my work for monday 11th - monday 25th off = 2weeks off.

Well guys, I will keep this open til after the Berri/loxton show ie. just over a week now and see how we go,

At this stage we have:

Myself

Dark.sky

Cronic

all confirmed,

but need more numbers to make it happen...can take another 4-6 people.

Get to it folks, check those dates and book time off... :devil:

Be good to have you along Craig...

As it stands the interest is a little low for this year... perhaps due to short notice.

A few have said they would be keen for 2011 Autosalon.

If I am still with my current job at that point I may try this again for the 2011 trip.... however may change employment half way thru the year which means I won't be doing 2011. Keep an eye out for a thread round mid 2010...

Autosalon Tokyo is always early-mid January if that helps with organising holidays over a year in advance!!

mega keen, but i already have to scrape together $10k for another trip. dont like my chances of affording this one too. :)

I hear ya.... have spent over 30 grand in the last 3-4 years travelling.... worth every cent too.

I'll leave it open for another week or so Dion, but it seems nobody is posting up things like "interested but need to check with bank/work/missus etc" so its not looking good, but I'm not gonna can it yet.

I still want to go, but need a couple more... probably four people (plus me) minimum to make it worthwile.

I know Shane (RBWARE) is a bit keen on going again also.... :D

Im in for 2011. But i'll be going for a month, with 10k spending money :D

Let me know when you go, ill go too, i wanna go for a longish time. I would like to visit some auto related places, but i would mainly want to go to visit Akihabara, and just see the culture, and sights...i am a bit of a anime/jap fan boy.

I wouldn't mind going mid next year, but if people are going in 2011, I'll go then.

$1750?

wow thats quite cheap, went to romania, europe last year in july, in their peak season, and i paid 3500 only for the tickets.

well worth the money though, seeing another culture and meeting relative i aint seen since 4yrs old.

Yep I have paid between 1500-1900 every time i have been.... except the last one.. we got a super special for $860 return!!

Sorry Martin, have only just noticed this post .... damn SAU is supposed to notify me when EVERY new post is made, but seems to be playing up lately.

Put me down on the 'probably not' list at stage mate - will let you know for sure by the Loxton show - have had some major expenses lately (including buying the V35, my $1,000 scuba gear and course I paid for this weekend), so have a slight issue with the missus regarding cash flow .... but I will work on her this week and let you know on the weekend if that is ok. TBH 2011 would probably be much better for me.

    • Block bump. $400. As above cyl 6 needs bore or sleeve.
    • I would think making the argument that the travel is limited by a spring flexing against a spring perch as "the same method". Later on in the document they do state that the spring can't bind on full bump travel and cannot come loose in full rebound travel as well. (which is all very sensible). The laws are actually pretty sensible and reasonable. It's just that the people who enforce and check them don't actually read them or know them accurately. "Oh, coilovers? Instant fail mate. Don't even need to look at it." - Guy who will be instantly reported by me. There is probably merit to people who do get defected for height also get defected for the suspension in that state that allows it. I did never consider the people who are complaining about coilovers being picked on are also running around at 50mm off the floor.
    • I think given SAU's knowledge of E85 we can strongly conclude that 10% ethanol in almost any situation is entirely fine. Almost all of the myths against E85 were overblown, let alone E10.
    • From your link See bold text, is this referring to damper settings, if so that may a issue for "some" inspectors, I cannot see aftermarket coilovers having the evidence that "must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original" Maybe just remove the adjustment knows and hope for the best???? Meh 5.2 Suspension travel In all instances, modifications to a vehicle’s suspension must ensure the integrity of the system and not compromise the ride quality. At least two thirds of the original suspension travel should be maintained in both directions (rebound (i.e. extension) and bump (i.e. compression)), and rebound must be limited by the same method used by the vehicle manufacturer or if this is not practicable due to the nature of the modification, an equivalent method. If an alternative method is used, evidence must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original.
    • They actually don't - They adhere to VSB14 rules just like Victoria. The rules are against CABIN adjustable height, and it quite clearly states that the height has to be within parameters. I asked the VASS engineer to confirm this when I got my car engineered and they refused to engineer the coilovers because they didn't meet the requirements for requiring engineering. (mine are height adjustable.) People "Not wanting to bother" with "Actually reading/knowing/adhering to the rules" should result in fines and immediately losing the ability to issue blue slips and/or RWC's in Vic.
