They want us off the roads and to not congregate in groups. Fullstop. It doesn't matter how legal your car is, if they decide they don't like you or your group, they will lock down the carpark and go over you all car by car. I have had this done before on an NS cruise some years ago - 150 cars were checked vigorously for defects (and something like 30 were issued full Regency defects) - they blocked off both entrances of the Newton Shopping Centre carpark and it took some guys 4 hours on lineup to get out, while they checked each car out with a fine tooth comb.

AHHH good times those:)

We are not saying don't organize a cruise. There are different ways of organizing a cruise. First of all should have kept the start date, time and place to a pm. This prevents all retards rocking up to the cruise as this forum is open to the public.

Either way, even I might make an appearance. You never know hehehe. Good luck with the whole cruise mate.

Hmmm this thread is cool !!!! Pull the pin and surprise the grenade went bang who could of guessed. Not being negative but a lot of the guys trying to give you guidance or suggestions have been in the car game along time ,like myself 20+ years and have owned everything from v8 funny doors to rotisserie and rice burners to family shopping wagons, and I can tell you now more than ever we are an endangered ,targeted species ,for what ever reason you choose safety, revenue . There is always a safe professional way of doing things that keeps everybody happy .

The most disturbing trend is the one where the guys are selling there vn's and buying 33's it will not do the scene any good we will end up with RSK not RCK :(

Haha, I think this was the one when I got one of my many "emit undue noise" fines in my pewter S15 for doing a 2nd gear standstill when leaving the carpark. Cops kept me there for 1.5 hours in the freezing cold while a Regency specialist was called out to try to defect my car - and they couldn't find a single thing - he even congratulated me on how nicely and legally modded my car was. Those were the days!

Ahhh, the good ol' days ;)

I have heaps of feeback and messages from people saying there going you think they haven't been on a cruise before and they don't know what cops are like wake up!

Was there supposed to be a comma in there somewhere?

-D

so whens the next cruise? ..........I'm So keen!!!Not :rofl:

Liking the idea of Joining SAU SA and getting involved with your cruises and events and steering clear of the kinds of events published in this thread....especially with operation falcon, aka operation defect every f*#@King import you can, that seems to be happening in Radelaide at the moment.

I find it the most ironic thing in the world that a heap of us who have been around the block said "don't do it like this, you are asking for trouble", and then we haven't seen a single post from Ben or anyone who said they were going on the cruise since. So how was the cruise - was there any police or bogan trouble?

That was sooo long ago, lol. I didn't go, but pretty sure Ben said there was no trouble, I have caught up with him a cpl times.

has the SAUSA membership sign up been fixed yet?

PM me if you guys are arranging something please. =)

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
