Yea, that person should be either the owner's son or something. Thai looking guy yea?

If I'm not mistaken, it also has Ksport brakes? Don't think he drives it hard enough because it always looks so clean :)

Someone should hit him up and get him to join us on one of our runs.

We need another funky colour so the Abom doesn't get all the attention!

yeah, I think he lives around perth st area as well. Was having a bit of a chat to him one night, he was telling me about his dramas with manual conversion using the auto ecu :P

10am eh, when and where are they cruising?

don't like swifts and focii (unless its a hottie driving) or flat brimmers!

It's on their facebook page - Last Place Cruising.

Meet at the lookout at 10am.

10:30 cruise starts heading out to ravensbourne lookout and photos taken.

12:00 - 12:30 back into toowoomba parking at the duggan st parking then into the gladstone for lunch n drinks.

I suppose from ravensbourne, we could then decide to go our way and have lunch at the withcott pub?

I personally wouldn't buy a swift nor a focus but apparently some of these guys have had their share of modded imports in the past. I have been known to discriminate against certain cars and mod trends but I'm trying to change my stripes :P

Did you get a number or get him to have a look at this thread?

Could get him to join us unless of course he likes driving/hardparking alone :closedeyes:

Yeah I might head out. Was going to go for a nice drive with Amy in the 32 on Sunday anyway. Might go to this instead

I'll prolly come along with you. Meet up at at HQ around 9:30?

I have no idea where this silly lookout is and cbf'd googling. I only know that north st passes straight thru the heart of derelict central in Toowoomba :P

Alternatively, could meet up at mine cos I think I'm closer to the lookout yea?

Pretty sure I am closest of all!

LOL alright then. We'll have to do our own sometime soon to make up for missing this one?

Besides, I haven't gotten the call from Chris to say I can pick up the new girl.

At least I know it's not a rushed in/out sorta job...or perhaps he just wants to keep the evo for a little bit to enjoy himself :ph34r:

I say we do exactly that Mr Nick! I'd be down with that. Right now I could do with some Thai/Chinese!

And that's good that she's all sorted now! You'll have to show me it one of these days - best not talk about it on here ;)

apparently farmers arms at cabarlah puts on a pretty good spread.

checked out that fb page as well, what is their theme????

They don't have a theme as far as I know. They just welcome anyone and everyone. All cars seem to be welcomed as well as long as they aren't idiots and abide by the rules of the cruise.

I didn't make it. Nobody seemed keen enough and I'm not rocking up alone.

When's the next TSO + E run? :P

I spent most of the day either running errands or watching the bathurst 12hr. Fking Nissan decided once again to prove they're shit by supplying blindfolds to each of their drivers and use it they did! :dry:

Can't wait to see what cars run at next year's. I'm surprised that none of these rich people chose to use an LFA or a Koenigsegg or an Aston Martin. If they can spend stupid money fitting a 5ltr V8 into a Ford Focus and turn it RWD, they should have gone for something that exotic just for kicks.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
