Yep. Was a great day - well done Andrew for setting it up.

Considering how many SA members there are it would be good to get

EVERYONE out for a blast one day. There are rarely any cop hassles &

we always have a great time. The Go-karts were good fun too.

Lets do it again sometime.

Cant wait to see the vids & pics.

Okay here is one version of the footage.

Cheers :D

Yeah i was gonna come but i forgot i had to work @ 3.....

Sounded like an awesome day wish i didn't have to work :D

Although i was thinkin about a late night cruise possibly in the next few weeks

maybe 9-10ish?

The cruise we went on friday night wasn't too bad, John and Erica wot did u think?

Needed something longer tho and so i was maybe thinking Gorge Rd (spelling?)

and through to Hahndorf?

Oh well next time i hope to be out but shall see wot happens

Yep Awesome day.

I had a ball.. G-karts are super fun.. my sides are a bit sore.. It was cool having other girls out there to race, (Mel, Rob's GF, timmmy) :D Cos i think we were all about the same skill level..haha unlike pawley, mattR diggity.. you are SAU speed demons who take no prisoners.

MADGT4, Friday nights cruise was kinda just a spur of the moment thing. But it was still good cos it was such a good night. I definately think they should be a more regular occurance.

I went down the road ( opposite way to where you left ) and took a right at the end of the street.

I was going along for ages ( 2km or so ) and I came across a slow car ( 40 on a 70 for while ), he/she pulled 3/4 off the road and that is where he/she stayed.

I overtook, didn’t go very hard cos I wasn’t in a hurry, just killing time, and the next thing I know there is a copper going hard in the rear view mirror.

He had to stop because there was a car coming towards him and he couldn’t get around because the other car wouldn’t pull all the way off the road.

Once he got past that he was still coming hard towards me still going hard, when I got to the end of the road I went right before the stream of traffic, I didn’t see him again.

Damn, cop! I didn’t do anything, perhaps someone called the cops after you lot exitited the car park and they where still in the area?

He didn’t do anything about the car that wouldn’t pull off the road when I was around, maybe he did once I left.

He never had his lights or sirens on but was flogging his car to pieces, I have no idea what his problem was.

What time did you lot leave?

sorry i had to piss off early.. had other commitments to attend to.

gokarts was wicked fun. and erica im not a girl. Rob how'd u score the kart that went the fastest everytime??? bastard :D

thanks for organising it andrew I had a great time.

lunch was pretty respectable too!!

Tim

You're welcome guys .... :D .... so when is the next event?

Suggestions so far are:

1. paintballing

2. jet skiing

3. water-skiing

4. wine tour

What does everyone think? Any other ideas?

Yeah was a good day. I was feeling a little too seedy to get my fat ass in a Go Kart However ....there's always next time.

Vid looks good too. My car looks SLOW!!! but I guess every1 says that :D (About their own cars ..not mine ..well I hope!)

Maybe next time we can goto a different pub though ...As we went to the same one last SAU cruise ??

Was good to catch up with some of you girls again too (Mel, Erica & Tim) :)

You're welcome guys .... :D .... so when is the next event?

2. Who's supplying the rides?

3. Would want to be fairly soon.... BRRRRRRRR

4. again, OUCH

I was feeling pretty blerck on sunday, until i saw the little bumper bars on the go-karts and realised what they were good for. Sorry to all those who got in the way.

    • Please use a modern ECU. PowerFC with the Nintendo Gameboy controller is horrible. It's not 2005 anymore.
    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
