How did you know we were headed there? 2nd time we have been - the 1st time was the night of the chocolate fondant competition. Food is excellent and the atmosphere is great. $200 bill (excluding byo grog) is a bit steep for 4 people on a Thursday night, but the food is worth it!

sif you could afford it Dean :)

yeah we got there and lined up at about 5:45 (both times) and was in and seated by about 6:10pm and out at around 8:15pm.

For entrees we had sea salt cashews with chilli

For mains we had blue swimmer crab, roast scallops and pork, bbq prawns and roast duck. Sides of chips and green vegies.

Dessert we had 2 x chocolate pots (sorta like choc mousse), pineapple pieces with passionfruit ice-cream, and a ricotta dessert.

Washed it all down with 2 bottles of sav blanc and a six pack of Coopers Palies :) Mmmm my belly is nice and full now :D (I've left myself wide open here, haven't I?!)

My problem with that joint is that its a cafe charging 5-star restaurant rates, people are only willing to go there and pay it cos they might be on tv. I doubt the cusine is any better then a proper restaurant which is actually 5-star, with 5-star service and proper atmosphere. Thats what i pay for.

Restaurants such as Alphute, Lezenhide, House of Chow, Red Ocre, Jarmers, etc etc are all restaurants i love and frequently go to. The prices are similar to that of red sea, but its the complete package that u get when u go there that is better then a cafe ripping people off.

yeah I agree, but it is a unique atmosphere.

We are going to Lenzerheide next month for a mid-year dinner for my wife's work with open menu and open bar :) .... double serve of Morton Bay Bugs coming up for me :)

We went to The Blanc the other week and damn that was nice - you should check it out one night - absolutely 5-star service and food! Not 5-star, but quite possibly the best Chinese food you will find in Adelaide is Citi Zen - we are going there next week and my mouth is already watering at the thought of the Peking Duck!!!

Like you say, it is a different thing at the Red Sea, but is well worth the experience.

Just guessed hahahahahahaha

On me way home from work went past hahahaha

Yeah me old man and my bro and sis went there and dad said his mean tasted like cat food hahaha but me bro and sis loved it.....

Not a big fan of seafood tho but i'd prob go there just to perv on Emily..... MMMMMMMM YUMMY!

Well considering there was no other car on the street except yours and mine. It was late and u decided to rev it up and launch it right next to me, im pretty sure that my guess of you showing off was true.  

But dont worry, next time i see you and I dont have a passenger, ill chase you down and do it personally.

Morale of this story, if you wanna show off, go look for some other freak to do it to.

Dude what did i miss? Fill me in!

    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
