So we had a cruise up north today with the Newcastle guys

Unfortunately ( or fortunately ) depending on your point of view not many turned up

There was myself, Benji, J-Rad and Matt who turned up at the servo,

Anthony couldn't make it as his car wouldn't start for some reason, hope you get it sorted easily mate

Had a nice well behaved drive up the highway with the official newcastle photographer getting plenty of rolling shots of the cars then onto Wotten Way,

Man that is a great bit of road just a little to much debris for my liking with all the leaves etc but shows just how little use the road gets nowadays

After a run up Wotten and back we did a quick drive along the start of the lakes way and back again

Was s fun day with great weather and great roads, I think next time we do this run we should advertise it better as my original post did suck balls.

Oh and the best part of the day was when we were at the pub and Benji did admit that yes indeed he is a tool

But enough rambling bring on the pics

Successful cruise was successful. Thanks Martin for organising!!

Absolute great stretch of road and a very enjoyable drive. Enjoyed Wootton Way even more than the Putty Rd.

Yes, I'd say just about the only drawback of Wootten way was there was a bit of debris on the road... but I guess that's a small price to pay to enjoy a drive along road that basically seemed deserted lol

Some nice cars there and pics!

Yep, shame Big Bird didn't make an appearance, and my nugget got a damn screw through the tyre :/

Looking forward to the next one!

    • Sorry, are coilovers ACTUALLY ILLEGAL in NSW? They aren't in Vic, as long as they retain 70% of stock travel and the car is above 100mm off the ground. Does NSW actually have a law making coilovers actually illegal? RWC/Blue Slip/Engineering people not knowing the actual f**king laws boils my blood. Demand them to point to the documentation that states a coilover is illegal. (it may exist in NSW )
    • But seriously, can we ask for the results of the "tip a bottle of metho into a nearly empty tank" experiment?
    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
