LOL Jerome!

Not going to be able to make have to work all day and I haven't been able to get it covered.

Oh man, that sucks James!! :thumbsdown:

Tim I wonder how mine would go on E85?
I'm currently building a firewall brace for my clutch! 10mm worth of flex is a bit much!
But she will be ready!

also need some gas for my Tig! not that it has anything to do with this saturday?

Nooooooooo. "Oh what a feeling" just turned into a very lonely feeling.

They are predicting rain/storms Saturday :fuuuuu: just saw on the news

I have been watching that on the long range forecast since Monday. Fingers crossed that the weather guys stay consistent and get it wrong as usual.

I have been thinking about what to do if the weather does turn "bloody horrible". Now I know that everyone here would always drive responsibly and within their and their vehicles limits (yer right!), so I dunno if I'll keep the route the same (but I'll just go really slow and hold you all up) or whether to cut out some of the "instant death" sections and make it more "cruisy".

What do the masses say?

When you are done, you can have a crack at a firewall brace for me as I have the same problem.

[ONPSI]

I was going to ring you the other day to see if you were coming but Dom said you had to work...sucks arse but hey someone has to do it :lol:

 

[blackers10]

if i can fix the surging on boost problem ill be right to attend by the looks of things
i THINK The bov is opening slightly on boost as holding it at 4k ish rpm while accelerating the bov opens (is that normal?) its a turbosmart type 1 (the baby atmo venting one)

 

[htgsr]

I have to pike now car is out of action due to driveshaft issues which im about to start a tread about in EVO 1-3 tech

 

[rob323]

No, it's leaking which means you be running rich. It should only be "open" when you take your foot off the gas.

 

[rob323]

:w00t::w00t: IMPORTANT!!!!!!!!!!

Can I please have your attention, following is a short message from your cruise director..........

IS THERE ANYONE THAT IS STILL COMING ON THE CRUISE THAT CAN'T GO FURTHER THAN 300km ON A TANK OF FUEL?:thumbsdown:

IF SO, LET ME KNOW BEFORE TOMORROW NIGHT.

I've been plotting the route on my gps and it's a good 400 km round trip o and that's the short version) from Milton and back to Milton. But if needed, I can change it to run past a BP with Ultimate if needed about half way through (but we'll miss out on some fun roads by doing so :fuuuuu.

It's based generally on the northside :thumbsup: (and north-west), starts at Milton of course (9am) and depending on where we get to by mid afternoon will depend on which way we head back towards the city.

Of course, if it's raining then it's all subject to change.

Thank you for your time.
Resume normal programming.

wish i could make it but my car is leaking a bit too much oil, which i wont be able to fix till after xmas
hopefully next year

 

[blackers10]

man thats one LOOOONG cruise.. if its over mountains etc would anybody even get CLOSE to 300km to a tank ?? due to the amount of spirited driving??

I am not terribly keen on driving this new car that far as I' still ironing out some bugs

 

[rob323]

Bring 4l of oil with you, there will be breaks where you can top it up.

 

[MDK87]

I'm good for that Rob, it looks like I'll probs be turning up in the Hundy. Some guy wants to buy my GSR in a real hurry (tonight).
Sounds like it be a good day Rob.
And good to see you here evolvr44.

EDIT: Yeah come along vr4goleta, is that all that's stopping you?

 

[blackers10]
