yeah, but everything else was gentle.  

Paul has a habit of making things......faster/dangerous.

Lets just say that on average micko and paul drive faster than russ and Liz.  

which is not an endigtment on russ or liz, just that micko and paul are maniacs!

:D

Thanks Alex - I'll remember to keep my slow unconfident ass out of cruises.... don't want to hold you guys up or anything.

C'mon Lizzah,

I dont have any complaints - besides, Id much rather share breakfast with you than with paul :D

like I said - theres two types of cruises...

..and that wasnt the type where paul gets behind you and snow-ploughs you to the finish line!!

(thank god)

as far as unconfident etc goes - I think the hills are good for that, because you can generally find your own pace.

Always gonna get different rates of driving, but its probably dangerous to try and keep up with a car as modified as pauls when you're driving a semi-stock one.

Yer aidwin has been hiding. Who knows where?

Get out of the govt. U just waiting for that long service and pension plan they have. I know:)

so are you seeing him on the weekend or something??

govt - preaching to the converted. but for now it pays better than private enterprise anyways.:uh-huh:

I think Russ does a damn fine job with his N/A.... oh and me... well after ploughing through a car and 4 traffic lights and also the minor incident at that cruise.... hrrmmmm I was actually beginning to get my confidence back and I thought I did well at the cruise and even better on Friday night.

Nothing like an awesome comment on ones driving to change all that.....

Liz, like I said - comment was not about your driving ... more about Paul's.

as for micko - he's driving a GTR.

re the brekky cruise - you had fun and you didnt bin it. therefore you did a good job.

the whole point of having those cruises is to have fun. provided that you do that, it doesnt really matter how fast you're going.

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
