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.

    • 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.
