Newcastle/central Coast Cruise To Broke And Back! 2/12/12


Recommended Posts

Hey all!

Its our 3rd cruise and this time were going broke!

Martin and I sused out the route today and we both agree the road is better then Old Pac! (much of the same just heaps longer fun bits)

The roads are a mixture of everything you could ask for in the country, wide open roads, tight hair pins, bumps, turns, sweeping bends, old bridges (low lip safe) and great scenery for passengers haha.

Date: 2/12/12

Meet time: 9:00

Leave time: 9:30~

Lunch time: 1130~

Finish time: 1:30~

If your running late and dont have anyones number pm me and ill get the email and reply.

The meeting point for everyone will be in one spot as there isnt any good spots to meet on the outskirts of newcastle and central coast so we will all meet here:/

Directly west of toronto, bit out of the way of people i know but atleast there will be no confusion on the day as its just off the freeway and we will have people coming from sydney, all along the coast, newcastle, maitland, cessnock, EVERYWHERE!

Oh and dont worry south people because the cruise finishes at your door step.

theres a lot parking as shown here where to park, try and get right up the back as we dont want to get in the way of anyone:

From here we will follow the route shown on the map below, the only thing close to traffic will be going through cessnock where we will be patient and give way to EVERYONE.

its a small town and no one cares about your BOVs, straight pipes or gates (hahah) except for us! so save it for the country and be as quiet as you can as respect for members for the public!! (and to keep bad attention of us!!)

From broke "C" to the end of our cruise is an AWESOME ROAD!! the drive to cessnock is a nice cruisy hwy with nice scenery and a few twisties in the middle.

the reason for our detour up the top of the map is to avoid coilover busting bumps that are the worst ive ever seen, this detour avoids all those so no doors fall off our cars!!!

We will be stopping for lunch at wollombi pub "D" who told us they can handle 40 people coming in, ill call them just to be sure they put more staff on when we get closer to the day.

Martin spotted the 400g steak for 23 bucks on the menu!

A photo spot has been chosen infront of a open meadow with a bit of mountain behind it that all the photo nuts will froth over, a passing local said there is barely any traffic so we should have time to park on a slight angle on the side of the road and get some nice shots :)

After that we will go further south which involves a few hair pins and then opens up to a 100 zone (which i could barely maintain) and to our end location for a drink at a cafe if needed and we split from there :action-smiley-069:

Ofcoarse on this cruise we will be sticking to the speed limit as we have done on our other ones, i have just driven this and the speed limit is more then enough fast enough to enjoy.

Remember this is a cruise not a race, race day is at wakefield in nov,

We WILL:

Give way to everyone and everything!

Stick to the speed limit

NOT hoon

NOT be loud and stupid, ESPECIALLY in towns (low rpm!)

Have a great day like on our other cruises :wub:

ANY CAR IS WELCOME, ANY PERSON IS WELCOME, AS LONG AS YOU ARE BEHAVED AND HAVE THE RIGHT ATTITUDE!!!!

    • ok so if i wanted to go 18's i would go for 8's  in front 30+ or 32+ off set at front and the back 9 would be ok? what offset should i aim for.. then can i do some  hunting for wheel rim choices..    If i get this - will this fit all around: Size: 18 x 8.5 +37 - n what tyres size tyre should i get for front n back?  
    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
