That's the one!

Also can't beleive you guys use heiffer creek road as a play ground. Last time I was there it was scary as f**k. It was a goat track with semis on the wrong side of the road every second corner. Must have fixed it up a bit since then.

I keep trying to push the "there are big mofo trucks on this road" speech.... But it is a nice road just stay on your side.

I've almost been cleaned up probley 2 years ago on it

Probably not great for a convoy, some of the passes are hairy enough passing one car. A mate got bullied into a guard rail by a passing semi a few years back, the pric just kept going

Ok, how about you skirts go cruise along the warrego while us men go along gatton-clifton? :P

Single lane bumpy country roads are my fav...love powering along them sitting right in the middle :)

If your down that way again tell me ill come for a strop with you lol

The best driving roads as far as corners and scenery go are always quite dangerous....they are usual ancient and are also too expensive to build and maintain properly to begin with. Some of the cuts that they did into the stone faces on that road are pretty impressive...surprising that they actually did it at all :/

But I reckon that road combined with flagstone for the return is the BEST around here by far!

For sure Nick, I reckon Chris would be keen too....he's at expert level thru the twisties ;)

Was talking to the old man the other day - he reckons there're some other scenic locations too that he goes along for sunday bike rides. Will have to get him to spill the beans

This adds an extra level of danger given that it is frequented by trucks! Where as other drivers roads are not commonly used by psychotic truckies.

Esk - Hampton Road used to be awesome, not sure what it is like now since they did some upgrades. I think they have possibly straightened it out a lot

All of Toowoomba is quite heavily frequented by trucks - every day life for us Toowoomba-ites ;) Some of the roads / lanes in town can be an even tighter squeeze with trucks than that Heifer creek run hey...craziness!

It's alright man, you don't have to go along it Bunta haha....I'm happy to go along wherever, this one that we're talking about is just a new personal fav of mine that I'd rather go thru with 1 or 2 others as opposed to a whole cruise creeping along at snail pace

Hmm may ditch the auto one meet up and come to this, as well it cost substantially less and as my windows stuck down I think the chances of my car getting stolen are leas

Haha yeh the only one you have to worry about stealing your car is me now ;-)

Meet at HCP on Sunday at 11:30? Have some form of route planned

That sounds mighty fine to me! Show ya my new black shoes eh? She's practically a different car :wub:

    • Ok guys thank you very much. GCG highflow it is then 🙂 
    • forgot to mention that when it does this it does not kill the engine, but I have not kept the pedal down long enough to let it, as I see no reason to beat up on it as its got to be something simple, small and dumb causing this.  And as soon as I let off pedal, the engine returns to its normal super smooth operation and rpms re-stabilize quickly, once below 4k. 
    • neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.
    • Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock. 
    • Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.
