many tassie locals out there? who's in for a cruise

[mreagon]

had my GSR down here for a few months now, and love it!

was thinking about going on a cruise
would like to explore lake leakes road, maybe go up or down through orford / swansea!

who is keen?

also what other good places are worth a look?

 

[Fugitiv]

I've never actually been through to strahan or zeehan but from what im told, the road to get there, from either north or south, is bloody awesome.

My personal fav would have to be the sideling to Scottsdale. Oldy buy a goody.
If your going to Swansea it'd be worth going through to Scottsdale then through to Launceston.

I'd be keen to come with, but my car isn't in fit shape to do anything atm.

Mike.

the road through mt arrowsmith to queenstown is mad,north from queenstown is good but its pretty high speed.

the sideling is getting pretty rough these days but its still pretty good

heleyer gorge is a bloody tops road too

 

[mreagon]

im keen to organise a cruise some time, fugitve (mike) where abouts do you live in tassie?
what is up with your car at the moment? need some help?

let me know

 

[Fugitiv]

I live in Launceston, or close enough to it.
Mine's getting some paint/panel repairs done atm, its close to being ready, just need to blast the paint on.
Thanks for the offer mate, should be ok though

I would be up for a cruise down the east coast... so long as its a cruise and not a race. Lol

 

[dj_konix]

im keen

 

[Fugitiv]

Right well i'm nearly set for a run again. Different colour bonnet and fill in panel but well it's japanese, i'll just play the drift damage card.

2-3 weeks and im in.

Cheers, Mike.

Track hours are from 9am till 5pm
If you intend on getting your moneys worth you WILL need spare fuel..... 40l minimum, running your car on the track is not the same as driving on the street- you will use a lot of fuel.
It will just be pot luck to get a day where the track is empty, regardless of if you know Des the caretaker or not, anyone can rock up and use the place without booking any day of the week apart from days that have been booked for official events.

To increase the chances of having the track to yourself plan to do it during a weekday as weekends usually have a lot of people on the circuit.
The only way to ensure you will have the track to yourself is to book it for a private day with Motorsports Tasmania but I think the fee was around 2 grand?

 

[zen4G63]

thanks for the fix up,
yes he is right u will need a bit of fuel as i forgot to mention i used about a tank and a half to two tanks hard driving, so bring a spare fuel container full lol,
thanks

i can get u a set of K Sport coil overs for 1750, part No kit
KS-M13 GALANT VR4 (4WD) MCPHERSON(FRONT) 88~92 PILLOWBALL﹢ ALUMINIUM

36 DIFFERENT DAMPENING SETTINGS-Freely adjust the dampening settings to meet the requirement of street setup and enjoy the hedonics of speed.

McPherson coilover offer camber plate can be adjusted by pillowball upper mount for camber and handling and rubber upper mount for comfort and cannot adjust the camber angle are for customers options.

The major setup of spring rate and dampening setting is for daily street comfort use. As far as without effect the setup of daily street use and sometimes can be used for weekend racing.

∮50mm strut∮44mm piston for monotube design-Oil and gas separately to increase the stability dampening force. The shock body is made by forged aluminium (6061) to reduce the weight and increase the safety of the shock absorber. Due to this design can avoid the rusty of coilover because it will snow for some countries which will put some salt on the road.

The most important function for ride height adjustable is avoided to compress the spring by the spring seat caused the unusual sound when you change the ride height or lower the vehicle too much caused the spring seat does not snug the spring, that will damage the coilover. The coilover can be dropped 100mm~120mm from OE ride height.

So it wouldn't just be us on the track then? Bunch of other random cars to have a shot at? Lol nice.

I doubt i'd need extra fuel. . . Not because i'm light on the throttle, nor because my car runs on an oily rag. . . But mainly because i'll without doubt break something 2 laps in. Lol

Buuut, Whats another 6 months off the road? pft, Just gotta make it worth it.
Count me in still.

Edit: I'd love a set, but i'll still have to save my pennies and i'd rather not go see mr bank man just yet.
I'll keep them in mind though mate.

Oh yeah, one more thing... Are coil overs street legal at all?

Cheers, Mike.
