I'd be surprised if the wasn't a thread on this already, but I can't find it.

So what's your favourite road to drive on in Perth? Talking about places close to the CBD, that you can do with an hour or two handy.

Mine at the moment would probably be the roads around Barbagallo in wannaroo, always good fun.

wannaroo road going up to two rocks, good road to test what your car has - this thread should be great for some cops :P

we're talking about our fav roads that we sensibly drive on within the speed limits of course :D

Oh and it's Wanneroo btw...

If any one likes to go for a late night drive from time to time i always tend to go along the freeway until you get to perth city, then go along mounts bay road, which then become Stirling hwy where you pass north freo along the ocean, then i put onto leach hwy and get some maccas on the way home :P

Otherwise if you want a fun drive, Kalamunda hills through the zig zags is always great.. Great view of perth also

Nannup , bridgetown , manjimup . We have this nice road 30ks out of bunbury thats quiet and a good 40k stretch of awesome road .

PM details ploise :P

But yeah, close to Perth.. Roleystone hills are fun, Croyden Rd/Soldiers Rd/etc. many cruises go through there and hit up the zigzags on the way out.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
