Hey Crew, Want to cruise to the Shanty Pub this Sunday?

As most of you know myself and a few of the bretheren are organising a Rural Liners get to gether latter this year. Myself and Jayce are cruising down the highway to the Shanty Pub to hookup with Tri and others to help get it organised.

I'd like you Canberra guys to come down and help represent as we have Liners showing up from Tumut, Albury, Lavington, Wagga, Junee, Leeton, Shep all over NSW n Vic.

I'll be leaving Murrumbateman at 08:30am if your keen. or you can tag on early on the tuggers express as we cruise out to the Barton highway.

The return trip will take a tank of fuel.

So far we are hooking up with:

oscar32

ARM85

Tridentt150v

stolly (I think)

Kamikazee

Wild

Robbie from Tumut, 93 'line

Junee dude

Leeton fella (maybe)

seraphyn_r33

R33Dan (hopefully)

skysaresilver

another guy with a silver series 2 r33

maybe a few more.. still waiting to hear back from some

id come but its ed's turn to have the car this week not mine unfortunately :D

Nik - you can ride shotgun if you wish. Like to see how the car goes under load.

Between us two big fellas we'd have to way a Ton....lol

would love to come keen as for a cruise but preparing my garden grrrrr.

Hahahaha! It's a drought,Jon:NOTHING is growing! Everthing you're preparing will prolly die,so come for a drive! LOL!

Seriously tho',it's a good oppertunity to catch up with other 'Liners,and look at the drive this way:you can listen to those CD's you'd forgotten about since you'd been playing your fav's around town,or you can call it an economy run to check out your highway cruising mileage,or you can sing/scream at the top of your lungs without hurting innocent eardrums,or....ah,you get the idea! Those that don't come:that's OK-but we'll be expecting a BIG rollout from SAU A.C.T. once this event is sorted out fully! R. and me and whoever else will let you know details as we know more!

I should have been on the 'ball' a bit more and suggested a look at the Laurel Hill Convention Centre prior to the meeting at the Shanty, for all those that may have been interested and/or harbour doubts about the suggested venue. But you can get a fair idea from their website:

Mary, Mary, quite contrary, how does your garden grow??

With silver bells and ****le shells all planted in a row............

Well the 30th is over, the garden is still there/the chores are still about, guess I'll do 'em someday, to quote Alfred E. Neuman what me worry, haven't even touched 2007 wages yet [already spent '05, 06].

Thanks to Jayce and Sinista for coming, really helpful/constructive, plus showed us some support as well.

No worries mate, I reckon tht is where your presence will really count as well.

My previous comment was only a bit of tongue in cheek non constructive satire anyway. Not all ppl can do all things all the time, we all have other lives and committments, no mortal offence was intended.................and I'll wager none will be taken either [well anyone that knows me and my quip laden posts will].

Mirroring Sinista and Tridentt150v's comments:thanks to all who made the effort to meet up and thrash out the initail ideas for "the gathering". A good,fun crew and a good time was had:those that missed out?Well,ya missed out! But we'll endevour to keep you up to speed as this thing gets momentum...

    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
    • What ECU are you running? This is probably the biggest question. If it's a PowerFC, I'd probably change the ECU and get something newer that will handle the injectors in a nicer way.
