Already set up with a few mates.

Tomorrow at 1pm, Meeting at Shell in Bundoora.

Going to Whittlesea -> Kinglake West -> Kinglake -> Healsville -> Marysville? (black spur) -> Then back via slightly different route.

Will be canceled if it rains or is still wet at that time (there's supposed to be early showers).

Roughly 6h cruise. Looking at stopping at Healsville for breaks up and back.

I'll be leading but I'm in an N/A R34, if someone else wants to lead I'm happy to let them.

A few of us will have CB radios too.

Teir.

P.S.

If there seems like there's a number of people coming we'll likely change the meeting place, as Shell Bundoora isn't big.

Yer, coming upto exam time now. But f**k that was fun, really really good fun.

About 5 of us went in the end, all mates of mine, though 1 dropped out at Kinglake, recently got a gas conversion (he has a holden, something SS.) and was billowing smoke by the time we got there. He turned around on petrol and we went on to marysville. Love those twisties. One of my mates was in a Daihatsu Cuore and managed to keep up on the corners, (stripped out eveything from it yesterday and did some stupid things to the engine, I'll have to take and post a picture.) but dies wholeheartedly on the straights.

I'll probably make another one in about 5 or 6 weeks up that way.

Otherwise I should see everyone on Wednesday.

P.S.

Shell Bundoora was a stupid idea, too small, next time I'll have to think of another spot.

      Wow ELVIS. You have an....interesting approach to conversation. Did you not notice that I wasn't talking to you?

      Hello Liam - HA - somewhere in flies - possibly I have an update, but I have been so busy, projects have taken a back seat to getting business back on track.  I will let you know the outcome, but I think I am going to go for the 8HP,  CHEERS.  ELVIS

      Thanks Joshuaho96, yes - as someone else also suggested, the 8HP seems the 'smart choice' - HA - and ZERO to do with cost, but I am sure 8 speeds will be better than 6 speeds - HA - maybe.  I will purchase a new 8HP,  Thanks.  ELVIS.

      Nobody said anything about getting a "...cheap Falcon box..."- it was JUST a question about a specific transmission.  And YOU may have a problem with not enough $ - HA - I do NOT - so please keep your comments like you are some financial guru to yourself.  BUT - much appreciated re the cost of a new 8HP and I twill probably be the way I go.  Thanks.  ELVIS.

      Most people I know in the BMW world are swapping 6HPs for 8HPs. The 6HP has a big issue with one of the clutch drum bushings wearing out shockingly early which leads to them going into limp mode going into 5th/6th gear as the oil pressure loss from the worn bushing causes clutch slip. Even with the adaptations in shifting the TCU can't bump line pressure enough to keep the clutches from slipping and burning. I've personally looked at a 335d with 6HP28 with one owner and ~90k miles on it and the transmission adaptations were way out of spec and even though it nominally drove ok I'm confident it would have needed a full rebuild sooner than later. Other than that they're fine, but the 8HP doesn't really have weird issues like this to my knowledge and they're in everything these days so pulling them out of crashed cars isn't too hard.
