doxximus Posted April 26, 2004 Share Posted April 26, 2004 cruise up whittlesea lol, actually, down here its very straight roads etc (from what i know of) but im sure the russian, snowy and that nismoid fella would find some small road to exploit...although i do know of many ofroad tracks, but if you were complaining about ur front bars now i dont think these ones should be thought about Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/39332-official-cruise-240404-macedon-pictures/page/7/#findComment-801009 Share on other sites More sharing options...

acsplit Posted April 26, 2004 Share Posted April 26, 2004 Yes well done by all the organisers for a great day had a ball. Nice roads mostly nice speed limits and lots of sweet cars just remember not to do come on a cruise with warped rotors or people that hit you when you do the speed limit like the other cars Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/39332-official-cruise-240404-macedon-pictures/page/7/#findComment-801076 Share on other sites More sharing options...

CR34TION Posted April 26, 2004 Share Posted April 26, 2004 ferni it was around one of the turnoffs when you ripped one to try to impress James... it just so happened one of your wheels was on the gravel. i will check for damages and will bill ya....

ferni Posted April 26, 2004 Share Posted April 26, 2004 when he was standing there directing us up the left hand turn? hmmm sorry man i didn't know you were that close - seriously let me know if there is any damage Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/39332-official-cruise-240404-macedon-pictures/page/7/#findComment-801094 Share on other sites More sharing options...
funkymonkey Posted April 26, 2004 Share Posted April 26, 2004 actually ferni, i noticed that when you passed me your car caused a lot of stones to fly up. You were on the other lane so none hit me, but you did manage to launch a fair few into the air. Do you have underbody diffusers or something? coz there was a GTSt you were overtaking and it wasn't throwing much up, just the ones from the rear wheels which is expected. The stones coming out of yours seemed like they were rebounding under your car and as you car passed the stone they got launched up. Wierd, must be some aerodynamic stuff.

abcent Posted April 26, 2004 Share Posted April 26, 2004 my front bar looks fully sandblasted, few down to bare metal chips on the bonnet & tops of 1/4 panels. Even the windscreen is all pitted now.... was a great cruise!! Very well organised an was a fun day.....had a good drive with GOLGO trying to catch up with the group at the winerly after a small fuel stop, the ol gts-t kept up pretty well i reckon. but unfortunatly it's gonna cost a fair bit to fix my car anyone know where to get car bra's made an what there worth for our cars? I dont really like car bra's....but if we're gonna cruise on back roads I can definatly see the value in one. great to see so many photo's, keep em comin....i forgot my cam on the day....doh' Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/39332-official-cruise-240404-macedon-pictures/page/7/#findComment-801105 Share on other sites More sharing options...
funkymonkey Posted April 26, 2004 Share Posted April 26, 2004 wish someone gave james a camera on that turn... while he chatted up the dad n his lil kids. Would've been awesome to just see all the cars come up and then rip the corner n fly off.

funkymonkey Posted April 26, 2004 Share Posted April 26, 2004 yeah carbras are the go for gravel roads... i'll be gettin one made up when i put the bodykit n repaint on. One with a bugshilwd n wind deflector, think it costs about $300-$400 for a custom one to fit your car snugly. However it should be cheaper if we all go together lol.

ferni Posted April 26, 2004 Share Posted April 26, 2004 funky- wierd.. i have no idea why that would happen... i dont have my stone gaurd on off hte front of my car - didn't have a chance to put it back on at my mechanics the other day... no diffusers as far as i know... only thing i can think of is if torque was being sent to my front wheels and that was flicking up stones? hmmmm abcent - loved your bodykit... rear looks REALLY good.... but MSPEC said your wing was flapping at high speed? heh Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/39332-official-cruise-240404-macedon-pictures/page/7/#findComment-801119 Share on other sites More sharing options...

NismoR34 Posted April 26, 2004 Share Posted April 26, 2004 Next Group Buy: Car Bra Seriously I reckon mine got hit the worst - or the fact that its a black car with grey / white stone chips at the front - I am talking at least 500 chips, not happy Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/39332-official-cruise-240404-macedon-pictures/page/7/#findComment-801122 Share on other sites More sharing options...
funkymonkey Posted April 26, 2004 Share Posted April 26, 2004 could explain the difference between yours and the GTSt... front wheels flick up the stones, rebound along the body of the car and whoomp in the air out the back of your car... lol... nice trick Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/39332-official-cruise-240404-macedon-pictures/page/7/#findComment-801129 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DentonR33 Posted April 26, 2004 Share Posted April 26, 2004 When your doing the "speed limit" on roads like that, in groups like that, on country roads thats whats going to happen..
