Official event: Shepparton overnight stay and DECA fun day cheer squad cruise


Recommended Posts

I still come if someone out there wants to enter me as a second driver!! Come on - you know you want too!!

Im soo bummed my car isnt available :D Was looking forwards to this for ages.

But Im a crappy spectator (well Im a crappy driver as well but hey!) so I couldnt bring myself to go all that way just to watch.

Because I don't even have the ute at the moment - its in getting some touch up work so I can sell it.

And the wife wont let me use her car - and Gerlad just sold his car last Friday.

So the gods are against me.

Hey Andrew, I can let you use my Gemini if you like.. It's registered. 2 Litre, cam, head work exhust, RPM clutch lowered, 17" rims. No LSD, but I could swap the diff to a locked one if you wanna give me a hand. Goes ok, but nothing compared to the line. We might even swap on the day.

Let me know ASAP.

I have had a change of plans in regards to accomodation. Was staying at a friends in Merchison, but he has other stuff on now. Does anyone have a spare bed in a room?

Otherwise, James can you give me the number of this hotel so I can try book myself in..

Ta, Chris.

Chris / Jarrod,

Guys - thanks both for the offers and at this stage I am still keen to come up. The tough part is that it seems now there is a slim possibility my car may be ready on time. Although Im not holding my breath, but if toyota have gear sets in stock then Im in luck. But I won't know if my car is going to be ready until late in the week so especially to you Chris I couldn't say yes right now - although the idea of taking the gemini has some strange appeal I must admit! lol.

But one way or another it looks like I will come up anyways so if still need to beg for a drive I can do so at the Shep Pub on Sat night. :D

Chris - got your PM, rang hotel - all good.

Spoke to Al - he has the details of the hotel also.

I still at work - waiting for marketing dept to ruin my weekend again... but at this stage i still see y'all this arvo.

    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
    • Yeah - I mean, go the other way. Smaller range. Not larger.
    • To re-cap, I bought: https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8G-Infiniti-Q50-Q60-2014_1601171829627.html?spm=a2756.trade-list-buyer.0.0.2cd476e9FTIlKE As you can see, if I bought 20 it was $653, but I bought 1 so it was $1,170. I was very tempted to buy 2 and resell 1 at 25% cheaper. @MBS206, I am not sure if they do a Kluger one, here is their list but it might be there under a global model name: http://www.lsailt.com/product/android-interface?page=1 Keep in mind these full android replacements have basically all the bits a phone does (cpu, ram, storage, wifi, bluetooth, usb interfaces) other than a screen (it uses a host), thus the $800+ cost. Android Auto screen mirroring is MUCH cheaper as it's just a cut down shell, input mirroring and output mirroring BTW I also need that "screen off" feature, it is much harder to see wildlife even if a dash is reasonably dark. Both the Fuga and V37 have display off buttons for night use, they just come back on for a second or 3 if you interact with it, eg skip a song.
    • I use FCC car launcher. It has an option for different backgrounds, so instead of turning the screen off you can swipe 'up' to a black screen with no background/icons. (mine has the time on it only). It's kinda nice. Also lets you use gestures to say swipe to go to next song, etc.
