The time has come to travel our most favoured road again.

Yes, the Great Ocean Road Cruise to Apollo Bay is on again.

Here are the crucials...

1stly.

You must have a full tank of fuel before arriving at your starting meet

point. This will help us depart at the desired times. It's going to be a

big day so not wasting time filling up is pretty important. We had a

problem with this last time with people having to take stops on the way

and thats a pain in the ass.

Ok, onto the details.

Date: 28th Feb 2004

Meet points/Times:

Western Suburbs R3Nismoids Group

Meet at 9.00am - Departing 9.30am

Mobil Service Station on the Ring Road

Eastern Suburbs Snowmans Group

Meet at 9.00am - Departing 9.30am

MegaMart Carpark off Warigal Rd

Melways: 69 G2

Geelong Meet Point ECR33's Group.

Waurn Ponds Hotel

10.30am Departing 11.15am

Melways: 229 B5

Basically, taking a nice leisurely drive down to the GOR.

The run down to Geelong is going to be a slow smooth one to avoid the

fixed camera's that are down there now.

We'll meet on the far side of Geelong, so that we can just get everyone

through without loosing people like what nearly has happened before.

Once the Melb crew's hook up with the guys at Waurn Ponds hotel just

outside of Geelong, we'll avoid the first part of the GOR, and Torquay.

This means we will go down Anglesea Road.

This is 200m from the hotel itself

After that, it's a glorious run down to Apollo Bay. Where we'll

grab some lunch etc and go for a few photo points etc etc. And then a

route home can be discussed.

I have a special home route that we've taken in the past that everyone

seems to like for some... odd... reason... So we'll more than likely

take that route back to Geelong. Basically it goes through the Otway

Ranges, and have a excellent mix of corners and straights

Hope to see everyone there.

If you wish to have my mobile number just in case something happens,

please send me a PM and i'll send it off to you.

:cheers:

If anyone for the South/East pre-meet needs my mobile number please PM me.

I know there are a lot of us coming from a fair way down from the pre-meet point but the idea of meeting there is that it's a very short trip to the freeway so there is a minimal chance of spiltting up the group.

Took my car out on the weekend and at 4K, in second gear, the clutch is slipping :). Has been booked in for the 01/03/04 :rofl:. Would REALLY appreciate a lift with someone, i could be the photo-boy :P, and keep tabs with the 2-way radios.

Please PM me, if a "shot-gun" seat is available :). Willing to drive the company van to anyones house and leave it there.

Thanks

I think I'll be in attendance too... meeting at Mega Mart.  In terms of fuel, might be wise to top up in Geelong.

Yeah. We got that planned.

i just didnt put it into the orig post to try and keep it short.

Probably just outside Geelong.

I'll be in touch with Snowman on the day. So we'll work it out when we come to it :wassup:

You're welcome to grab a lift with me but I'm in the Fairmont! I'll be there, taking heaps of photos and trying desperately not to hold everyone up.

There will be LOADS of time for pics.

Dont worry.

If you want a few more, just tell Snowman/myself and we'll hold up for another 5-10 mins.

More pics the better, especially before MAS.

Hmmm.... I supose I'd better get me one of those cb radio's. Where do I go for those?

And I MAY have a shot-gun seat available. But won't know until closer to the time so don't want to make any promises as yet.

I'll check mine tonight... but i'm 99% sure they are UHF or whatever it is.

Just the Uniden/GM ones etc you can pick-up from Dick Smiths etc for like $80-$120.

The cheapest ones (uniden) are pretty average for the $80 one though.

If your looking for a radio. Go here http://www.prestigecom.net.au They ship same day as order is placed. It arrives from perth to your front door overnight. (Mostly) UHF is the way to go. Don't waste your time and money on AM CB.

I'll cyas all at SE meet point. Looking forward to it.

Also don't buy Digicor, Digitalk, Digiwhatever hand helds. I was a sucker and wasted my hard earned cash. Go the extra $20 and buy uniden. Also 5watts is stronger than 2w and Grounded in car radio is better than a handheld.

Maintenance is also important road trips etc, make sure your car is up for it we don’t want to be calling RACV out to get people towed home, it would really be a shame. So make sure all fluids are topped up, tires checked (tread and pressure) just general stuff to make it better for your car and your enjoyment.

I might not be there as my car isn’t ready, I’ll see what I can do about some sort of lift but I’m sick of bothering people. Hopefully everyone has fun, no cops….well lets hope. Cheers Rob

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
