Yeah, I just compared the two and the new one is a LOT bigger...

Don't forget our meeting on the 30th of January, at the shanty hotel (10 east of Wagga on the sturt hyway). This will be to discuss a larger overnight event for rural NSW and some others :D

I went to Narrandera Drags on 23rd. Got there at 10 and was gone by 12. Most sh1tful site I've ever been to. Hot, dry, dusty, hot, extra dusty, the veiwing was bloody woeful, 10 deep at the fence, no grandstands [even temporary ones would have been OK], the track was at 60 degrees away from the spectators, hot, bl00dy dusty, you could hear stuff going on, but you couldn't see diddly squat, dusty, dust everywhere and hot, no shade, and dust.

Carpark was a saltbush stubble wasteland, ground my car out a couple of times, needed my 4WD hilux.

You'd be better off going to Eastern Creek, Heathcote, or Calder, even the old Canberra strip was better [it actually wasn't too bad].

I won't be back, waste of money. And I reckon - going on the number of cars and motrobikes leaving when I was - that I'm not the only one thinking like this.

I agree with Narrandra, I arrived 11:00, was gone by 1. HEAPS of people left when I did. Had my vid carmera there and the footage I have says it all, boring, and far far away.

The drags themselves were good, and there seemed to be some fast cars having a big go (the trail bike lighting the back wheel was gold). The competitors did try and put on a showHowever if they built a dragstrip out here it might be a different story.. the carpark was like Ace Ventura in the 4wd bumping around.

The meeting on the 30th however offers all members flat parking, cool drinks and aircon. :P AND an oppurtunity to catch up with fellow liners.

Meeting at the Shanty pub on Sunday the 30th Jan start at 1200 midday.

The Shanty is located 15 kms East of Wagga Wagga on the Sturt Hyway.

The purpose - to organise a larger scale country event.

We have to think about food, drink, entertainment, and accommodation.

And, we are all different, all ages, and ethnic backgrounds etc etc etc so whatever we do we have to do for everyone.

Some time would people be interested in doing a cruise to Ulladulla? Which is halfway between sydney and canberra. Im right in the middle right on the beach. Really nice place here and a big carpark which would be perfect and sometimes cruises come down here to it :D

Id be keen to cruise up from the far south coast.

Post this on the south coast thread and you may get some interest aswell:)

sweet :D So do yas wana arrange something to here some time?

We could arrange something for in a month or so.

Lets try to get some kind of date which is good for everyone. Im pretty easy so most any times as long as its a weekend.

Im trying to organise a cruise to canberra on 18th feb to go see the butterfly effect with a few mates. Im also goin up that day to get some stuff done to the car. So it can be a day mission or an overnighter - its up to you.

Im keen for a cruise on any weekend really. You name a day and date and we'll most probably be there.

Like I said previously, post this on the south coast thread as there is a few lads from Narooma who might be keen aswell.

:D

Sounds interesting guys :D Keep us posted.

I'll do the 18th though... sounds like a good date :D Crusing to Canberra, then some Braddon and whatever else the night brings..... and the butterfly effect :(

Don't forget the 30th!!!

how far away from ulladulla is the cruise on the 30th? if its not to far i might consider comeing.

Ummm I think its a fair way... According to travelmate.com it's about 440kms,

But you are more than welcome to come along! Bring a carload!!

:rave:

If anyone is interested (ARM) have a look see in my gallery, I've got a heap of the fatz drift day piccies there.

Cheers!!

    • 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.
