So Fast Five (the fifth Fast and the Furious movie) comes out late next month, and I was thinking it would be fun (and kinda corny) if we had an SAU import meet to go see it together. If there's enough interest we could even call the cinemas and try and organise a SAU discount for the night, particularly if it was on a quiet night like a Tuesday.

I got the idea from the last time I went to the drive in cinema there were a mass of old school muscles cars. They had all the prime parks and were out and about talking so I assume they'd been there a while.

I think Lunar drive in best because of its location in Dandenong, the other option is Coburg but it seems a little far out for anyone but those in the northern suburbs. Has anyone been there? I've only been to the Dromana ones.

Anyone interested?

hey Kieran,

not sure if you have seen the movie nights I organize but I am going to do a fast and the furious 5 one.

They normally occur on a Friday night and we go to Coburg and we get $10 for a full adult ticket. I am going to post something up shortly, but am waiting for final details from the events manager at Village cinemas who always looks after us.

Here is the link to the movie night we had last week

Ah cool nevermind then. I had seen them but for some reason never knew they were drive in cinemas. Assumed you guys were just meeting up for normal ones.

I'll let you organize it ;)

Noooo... ...Don't give up so easily... ...FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT!!!...

:domokun:

think lunar drive in is a bit more welcoming for our cars..in sense of less loose rocks and smother surface to drive on (from what i can recall..

i prefer lunar drive in too..just coz i live less than 5 min from there :D

I'd probably go regardless. But I prefer Coburg to Lunar, even though Coburg is further out for me (it's really only a half hour drive from the eastern suburbs). IMO:

- Screens look much the same to me in terms of quality

- I found there to be more random stones/bumps at Lunar - not cool at an F&F movie with heroes wheel spinning on exit

- Coburg is much easier to navigate around both on exit and trying to find a spot to park (more room and better layout)

- I was waiting in queues of cars at Lunar last time I was there

- Diner is better at Coburg

- Less chance of being defected at Coburg

- We get $10 movies at Coburg whenever we organise a meet

- Lunar usually has more annoying f***s (read Dandenong locals) camping out in front of the screen with their flashlights and taking pictures with a camera while the movie is on. VERY annoying.

/rant.

Thanks Kieran,

Unfortunately Lunar drive-ins are not part of Village and as such we may not be able to get a discount.

1 other thing, if there are alot of people for this one we may be able to get it abit cheaper then normal.

I just gave him a call and it is coming out on the 20th of April, so theres a bit of time and I will put up

more info when available.

    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
    • Yeah - I mean, go the other way. Smaller range. Not larger.
    • To re-cap, I bought: https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8G-Infiniti-Q50-Q60-2014_1601171829627.html?spm=a2756.trade-list-buyer.0.0.2cd476e9FTIlKE As you can see, if I bought 20 it was $653, but I bought 1 so it was $1,170. I was very tempted to buy 2 and resell 1 at 25% cheaper. @MBS206, I am not sure if they do a Kluger one, here is their list but it might be there under a global model name: http://www.lsailt.com/product/android-interface?page=1 Keep in mind these full android replacements have basically all the bits a phone does (cpu, ram, storage, wifi, bluetooth, usb interfaces) other than a screen (it uses a host), thus the $800+ cost. Android Auto screen mirroring is MUCH cheaper as it's just a cut down shell, input mirroring and output mirroring BTW I also need that "screen off" feature, it is much harder to see wildlife even if a dash is reasonably dark. Both the Fuga and V37 have display off buttons for night use, they just come back on for a second or 3 if you interact with it, eg skip a song.
    • I use FCC car launcher. It has an option for different backgrounds, so instead of turning the screen off you can swipe 'up' to a black screen with no background/icons. (mine has the time on it only). It's kinda nice. Also lets you use gestures to say swipe to go to next song, etc.
