Hey guys and girls,

I'm interested in seeing what all your favourite roads to drive through are.

GOR and the dandenongs are pretty obvious places.

I like Yarra Bend Park, which i came across yesterday much to my delight :)

Alexandra Avenue is alright too :D

Euroa-Merton rd for us country lads, Tolmie-Whitfield rd is great, only been there in the work van, have always meant to go back, it would easily rival the great ocean rd for bends, without the traffic. The black spur heading out of Melbourne is another, where do you stop?

rrrage: is the yarra bend Park the one near chandler exist of eastern freeway? the one where you have an awesome view of the city at the top of the hill? Be very careful as their is sometimes a big police presence around their as those roads were made for racing!! my bro got picked up on his motorbike scraping his knee around a corner he was that low.

great bit of road though!

I agree with the dandenongs, not bad up past marysville aswell. Some roads around vineyards of mornington peninsula are very good aswell, near arthurs seat chairlift and sh*t.

Enjoy.

Paradizzle.

yup that's the one. there were a group of bikers there too.

i talked to my uncle about it today. he told me how when he was younger he'd go there with his friends at midnight and have a hoon... but now the speed limit is 50 and the cops patrol it. ahwell.

Still definately worth a hoon dude. good sideways corners, providing road is not that busy. Alot of the time its pretty good and u can go nuts, but wen u least expect it the boyz in blue r their to bend u over. Good place to test any suspension set up.

greg: where abouts in eltham are you talking about??

I love the kinglake/whittlesea road, but becareful of the black ice in winter... kangaroo ground panton hill is fun too, used to be 100k limit around there but now it's 80. Going out to warrandyte from research, or kangaroo ground has some fun twisties also.

yeah, i do that run and surrounding areas a bit, very nice drive... some of the roads, cant remember what one exactly, have been resurfaced lately :(

Mountain Hwy and and Mt. Dandenong Tourist Rd (off Canturbury Rd) both heading up the mountain at about 3am on a nice crisp night, nothing beats an uphill fang :(

geez Adz, thats my favourite haunt and time.. i used to fang the corolla around there all the time. Might seeya up there in the 'line sometime. I get there by belgrave-hallam road, starts off *real* steap, heh

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
