11ty civics with orange wheels and roof racks.

Nah, was a fun night. Loads of "variety". Some rare stuff, some more mundane stuff. A few new sau nsw members joined up which was good. Behaviour was good. Some Honda fanbois thought limiter bashing was a recognised sport. Our little sau setup proved good for car watching.

I was AMAZED at the amount of cars still outside when we left. There must have been at least 200 cars I drove past that couldn't get in! Need a bigger space with more entry exit options in the future.

And for the record, I didn't see one hwp near the meet. Traffic operations were in house and seemed efficient. Only saw hwp on the way on the m7.

Car scene dead? No, it's very much alive.

In the line for an hour, so we left. Took all our cars to Krispy Kremes and had our own mega meet :)

Would have loved to be in that meet.... Kind of glad we didn't make the 4hr round trip

Was a HUGE night, and as Alex said, we're very lucky with the location of the spot we were provided. We had the perfect vantage point to watch heaps of cars coming in. We were located right near the entry/exit. When it got packed, there just happened to be enough room for us all to leave without having to ask people to move cars/barriers, etc. If we'd have had to do that, it would have been an absolute nightmare!

If thats the NSW car scene these days ill pass... hellaflush and roof racks are almost as gay as sex spec cars.

Started out really good with some decent variety of well modified cars before the p plater brigade of 1000+ standard spazda 3's, hondas with fluro wheels, commodores all sporting the same 3 types of wheels on XXXL springs turned up.

Got reallly tempted to go thump a few of the idiots at the end 5k limiter bashing, no u cant hit vtec in neurtal kids stop ruining your mums car or you will have no money to take your 15yr old girlfriends to maccas for your next date.

in closing 20% awesome 80% retarded. no fault to the organisers though!

I was impressed by many aspects of the Mega Meet

  • Simply how many cars turned up considering the showery conditions - it was amazing
  • How very well behaved eneryone was
  • The wide spectrum of cars that attended from classic cars, nicely modified imports, street driven imports to the 17 year old red "P" platers driving a shitbox covered in stickers
  • We had no trouble leaving the site and there was no Police presence travelling south from the venue to the M7
  • The one thing that stood out for me was the lack of brand rivelry (none of the normal Ford V Holden crap) instead good cars seemed to get respect for what they were irrespective of the brand as long as it was JDM.

The turn out was crazy, I was very surprised in the amount of cars that arrived

It was good to meet some of the members and finally sign up as one

Lots of laughs had

I think for me, the highlight was that EK Civic with half of the car packed full of subs. That car should of fallen apart with that amount of bass

Here's a few happy snaps

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
