Bad fuel killed it, need to pump the tank dry and change plugs etc to hopefully sort that out.

Need to replace the coilovers as the rears are dead from Texi..... Properly dead haha

that sucks mate...was it dodgy flex or dodgy 98?

I think 16 cable ties should hold the BOV down temporarily thanks to Chookie :woot:

lolz :woot:

Sweet, will keep an eye out for you! Be careful around Newcastle itself if your car is modified, the boys in blue had ruined the car scene up here due to the minority that spoilt it for all of us!

Found it see below

Put up the EOI and will post in the events next week

Will ring the guy back on Sunday to book a few spots as there seems to be a bit of interest

Have a look on google maps at the back roads from Bolwarra to Singleton

Basically go along Maitland Vale rd then along Stanhope Rd and turn onto Elderslie Rd and go along till you get to Gresford Rd to go into Singleton

Or we could meet at say Hexham for a cruise and lunch to Nelson Bay or somewhere

Let's see what everyone thinks

I remember when the wife and I were on the return from our honeymoon and we had a 5 hour wait at Los Angeles airport

Managed to check in super early and leave the bags as well so got a cab to the pub and had a few drinks as well as a nice walk along the beach and out on one of the piers

Good times

Oh and Vegas f**kin rocks

You will have fun

Only advice I can give you is whatever you are thinking of spending double it

Oh and go to the Mirage for tea one night

I went there and ordered a steak. Cost $55 U.S but for the 24 ounces was worth every cent

righto,

Some ideas for potential crusie routes:

Possible route 1-

Newcastle to Coolongolook via buckets way and old pacfific hwy - lots of spagetti road - round trip ~250km

The plan would be to meet at ~10am and cruise along the route and arrive at ~1pm for lunch at the salty dog cafe.

Possible route 2-

Newcastle to boomerange beach via buckets way and lakes way- more spagetti road - round trip ~280km.

The plan would be to meet at ~10am and cruise along the route and arrive at ~1pm for lunch at hueys at blueys pizzeria

route2.png

possible route 3-

Newcastle to singleton via maitland vale road - mmm spagetti - round trip ~180km

The plan would be to meet at ~10am and cruise along the route and arrive at ~1pm for lunch somewhere (need suggestions)

route3.png

possible route 4-

Newcastle to Fingal Bay via Anna bay - good views - round trip ~ 130km

The plan would be to meet at ~10am and cruise along the route and arrive at ~11:30 for a BBQ lunch (need to confirm facilities) next to the beach along marine drive

Feel free to comment, make further suggestions...

The 1st one looks good mate, although i had abit of a look at the road from booral to buladelah and it looks very rough, and if its still as bad as on street view, then may need to avoid it as will only be able to do 40kph etc. although wooten way from buladelah to wooten looks like alot of fun, alot of it is 3 lanes in the twistys which will make it alot of fun.. definately need to hit up that section for sure.

the nelson bay drive is pretty boring, i grew up out there so i know a few spots for pics etc.. but its a very cruisy drive...

went for a quick drive by through stockon yesterday (cant remeber if ive actually ever been to the town part ha), there are some great spots for pics over there, might take my car over there sometime soon for some pics if anyone wants to join?

Stockton was where I think we should do a regular meet and BBQ, say once a month or fortnight or whatever... Great spot for pics and convenient and no real police attention so it's relaxed!!!

Buladelah and Wooten way are awesome!!! Mainly because Wootten is my last name :D haha

Top work on the cruise routes though, awesome stuff!!

      The spray cans were in the "Kiln" room whilst I was preping the parts,  so probably around 2 hours to get them warmed up, the kiln room has 3 small ovens running at 100°c, 3 medium sized ovens running 100°c, and the large one I used running at 80°c, the room itself was about 28°c, I also spent a bit of time taping up the parts in the room as well, and by the time I was done I would assume that the parts were around that 28°c As for power, I expect a couple of Killerwasps up high would be achievable with the current mods, I'm still running the MZR 2.0 intake and throttle body, and there is a slight mismatch with the 2.0 intake (smaller) and 2.5 intake ports (larger) on the head, this intake is matched and specifically designed to fix this issue with the ports mismatch, the throttle body is also a couple of mm larger, OEM is 65mm, the Bosch is 68mm In the end it will look "prettier" than the molded plastic thing that is the OEM MZR 2.0 intake As for the LSD, it's the OEM Torsen which works fine for what I use the car for, plus, basically no maintenance apart from the occasional oil change

      Mate , I have the same issue right now with the exhaust noise , if you can tell me what your local guy did , I'll talk to my guys and see if they can do the same. Power is good but it just too loud when put it down.

      The other trick I've found with wrinkle black is to put the can in hot water for a bit to warm the paint up, and to pre-heat whatever you're painting. It'll be interesting to see if you pick up any power with the intake, following with interest. Got a proper lsd for this?
