I'm not so fussed on the drive part given the stone chips I got last time I did a cotter cruise however would be nice to get all the cars together and catch up with everyone for an end of year BBQ.

Do people want a Saturday or a Sunday?

I'm in.. as long as it isnt on the weekend of 20-21Nov, 28-29Nov or 4-5Dec.. althought I might be able to make it if its on 4-5Dec. We could always do it on 27th 28th or 29th of Dec as they are all hols for me and most others.. I vote 28th Dec.. w00t cruise on bday :)

I also vote that we don't go towards Bungendore/Braidwood due to the increase five oh (I'm so gangsta!) activity due to summer and everyone else heading that way. If we can't find anywhere to cruise we should at least have a BBQ, if a location cannot be found we could have it at my house, that last couple large gatherings there were pretty successful

Yeah I can't do 4-5 Dec. I'm a better chance if it's a Sunday however if it's a Saturday it just depends which one and at what times.

Anything after Christmas is probably a no go for me as I'll have family shit to do.

We could just do a local cruise around Canberra, hope for a beautiful summers day. Start somewhere random (could just be Gravlia point), and finish at black mtn peninsula and have the bbq there. Or Weston Park?

5 Dec is "Chippas main street cruise"

http://www.chippasmainstreetcruz.com.au/

Ignore the fact that there's a VK on the cover. Although it is a sweet ride...

Chippa was a dear friend to me, and we hope to raise lots of money for the starlight foundation.

So everyone that wants to come to that please sign up and get amoungst it :)

So back to our own cruise.

I'd like to get out and have a bbq somewhere.

At the uriarra east reserve there's bbq's, the ones that manly men need to build fires in and get the plates hot. So that time of year they'll probably be out of action with some total fire ban rubbish...

Googong?? anyone been out that way?

In regards to the cruise part, I think if it's not the cotter, the only other place I can think of in ACT is Corin Forest. If you want to go further out, maybe out to Lake Burrinjuck, Lake George or the Coast.

There are a few nice BBQ area's around Lake Burley Griffin.

I like the idea of trashing Nim's place :)

      But seriously, can we ask for the results of the "tip a bottle of metho into a nearly empty tank" experiment?

      Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.

      Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.

      Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
