good cruise. quite unlike any cruise ive been on before. somehow i made it to the end. i think the money i was going to spend on a bodykit will now be spent on a brake upgrade and better tyres.

i got some pics too, ill just see how many of em turned out. :(

sounded bit f**ked if you guys left others behind even if it is due to skill or lack of speed boo boo

Nothing like adding your 2cents when you weren't even there. :mellow:

Was good to meet some guys I'd not met before. Sambo, Jason, Chris and Pete was good to see you guys still with us at the end of the night. It was a nice bunch of cars. Apologies to those that got lost, due to certain 'boy in blue' episodes we couldn't stick around at a couple of corners we normally would have waited at to regroup.

Catch you next time.

Cheers,

Stu

hehehe i turn left when i should have gone right, and richo and the fellas followed me, at least we learnt not to park on the main drag.

the copper knew we'd be driving "hard" since you couldn't put your hand on my front rims for more than a second, almost burnt myself, :D

Nice to meet some new people even if we did get separated. :)

Yeah was great to meet youse all, that was me in the distance with my yellow fog lights on...

I too had a police car follow me between stirling to bridegwater to hahndorf.... waited at stirling on the 4th time there to see if anyone would be coming around - I kept seeing Skylines on the opposite side of the road between stirling / bridgewater and kept turning around trying to catch up..... never caught up tho, I wonder why? :D

Weird, as I was 5secs behind up old eagle hill rd (remeber boys, I got a family wagon, and safc tune was shagged due to more air from recent fmic install), but get to the top and noone around? where did you go to? was a real pity, as I wanted to stop again and chat to ppl's.

Was thinking about Mt Lofty summit, but decided I was well truley lost from the group (happens now and then with the bike group but we've since learnt to wait at turn off corners) :) so went down south to Clarendon and home.

Oh well, next time, Stagea is being retuned on Tuesday with a box of tricky gear, then we'll see how we go! But I certainly noticed that my cheap-arsed tyres are real cheap-arse! :)

yeah, was good to meet some new people, most of the guys on this cruise i had never met before. there were some very nice cars there too :D too bad none of my pictures turned out very good :) they were all either too blurry or too dark.

i missed out due to sick gf but sounded bit f**ked if you guys left others behind even if it is due to skill or lack of speed boo boo

NAH dude we broke up coz the piggies were out revenue raising again, meanwhile there was dazza the yobbo on meth holding up a servo with a syringe and the donut eaters were out makin money for mikey rann.

next time we should make it a little later or really early in the morning like about 3-4am

having said that, it will reduce the likelihood of people getting distracted/lost since there's light but still dark enough to be driving with a variation of speed on the streets *wink wink*

    • 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.
