andrew, you sound as though the people who are reading this all live north? from the way im reading it, maybe if you "toned it down" a little people from the west would be more encouraged to attend? instead, it sounds as though its a "northerners" only club ......... ? or maybe im reading it the wrong way?

kel, don't you live just as far to parramatta as to north sydney? why are you mocking the distance to the west from where you are? :D

You take offence where there's none to be taken :D

If we didn't want Western suburbs SAU'ers to join us, why would we even consider going to restaurants out west? I merely meant that even if we did more the dinners out west, I fear that they still wouldn't come and join us for reasons stated at the AGM. (We're trying to think of ways to get the 70 or so club members who don't participate in social events to start coming along and breaking the percieved social cliques in the club)

I started this thread asking for suggestions for venues, and more veunes suggested were on the North Shore, as that's where most attendees live, and know good restaurants to suggest. Please feel free to organise next month's dinner with a venue out West (seriously)!!! You of all people know that I'm not adverse to a cruise out west for dinner or whatnot :(

As for Yak & Yeti, I've eaten there and I loved the food... Very different from the norm, with their Goat curries and similar dishes. It's very adventurous though, and not for everyone.... Not sure if it's the best place for an SAU Dinner, but worth putting it out to the crowd I guess.

We need suggestions for places outside of the northshore

the reason I can see why it's been centred on the north is that those of us who are organising it live this way and know the restaurants.  

I would LOVE to go to leichardt though one night for Italian :D mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

My girlfriend lives in the forum on Norton st. I'm going over there for dinner tonigh. hmmm, I may have to scout a future location. Can I claim expenses for that?

I really want to come to this ... but I dont have a car at the moment :(:D

how many of you want to cross your fingers so I get a car by the time this dinner rolls around ... ;) *having an inspection done on a R34 this Sat morning, hope it goes well*

if it happens, I will be all :P and :headspin: :headspin:

hmmm, went to a place called Il Baretto (Bourke st. Surry Hills) last night. As the GF is sick of eating on Norton Street (she lives in the forum). Was very nice and well priced but took bloody ages to get a table.

There is a place on the corner of city west link and Norton st called Grappa. My parents friends owns the joint. Very nice food, but pretty pricey and because it's so busy the service isn't always as prompt as I'd like. Very friendly though, and you can see the whole carpark from just about any table in there.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
