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.

    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
    • Yeah, I would have said the same. It makes me suggest that there are other things wrong, such that the ECU is totally unhappy with the broken sensor. The only other thought here is that maybe it is shorted, which might cause a different issue to the typical "disconnected" sensor.
