Hey guys the SuburbanStreets cruise # 2 is coming up soon! :D See here for details:

http://www.suburbanstreets.com/bb/viewtopic.php?t=165

Currently we are looking for your ideas and so far here is what we have:

Date Sunday August 29

The meeting point at Big W carpark on the corner of Cross Rd and Goodwood Rd.

We could then head up Cross Rd to the freeway for some hills driving.

Not sure where we will end up as of yet :D

There will be maps and cruise notes handed out. :)

Here are some pics of the first cruise :D

Good luck with the cruise, looks like you got a nice varied bunch of cars along to the last one.

I'll put myself in the same boat as some others here and say: thanks, but no thanks. My idea of a cruise is racing through the hills at breakneck speeds with a bunch of very high performance cars and equally high performance drivers (we've never had an accident in the 10+ cruises I've been on). I hate to think what it would be like to be stuck behind a riced up lancer (like the one in the pic) through the hills or worse still at a set of traffic lights.

Each to their own, and good luck with what you do. :P

Awww c'mon guys... you're all being a bit harsh, but I have to say I love the honesty :)

I know I have out dated tastes, but I just can't stand those UGLY (and heavy) chrome rims on that Silver S2 GTS25t - YUCK! :throwup:

Hey guys thanks for your honesty :) As much as I may agree with you on other peoples taste in cars we are open to anyone who wishes to come along, no matter how their car drives looks :rofl:

All in all, if your personal taste in cars is enough to warrant you not to come on this cruise that is fine. You are also right in saying that not all of the cars are at the same level of performance thus you may not go as fast as you would like through the hills :)

Finally, if you want to meet a few new people and come on a nice, not overly fast paced cruise, you are more than welcome to come along :)

Regards,

Marlon.

Whilst I do agree with the general vibe of my fellow Adelaide SAU members (driving experience and performance comments), I still thank you for including us in your invite Marlon :)

Hope it turns out well mate.

    • Given you're running a 2.8 and my 2.5 is not really like for like, I suspect there could be a bit more timing you could give it. What is the kW yield per degree you're putting through it? Here's my E85 map to give you an idea, where it was I could still get another 3~4kW per degree thrown at it.  
    • It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.
    • Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts. 
    • Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha
    • Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
