Kel & I are in.

We did a cruise over wisemans ferry a while back (mysfit charity cruise I think). Everyone was OK if they went s...l....o.....w...l...y enough.

Count me in just hope i got my car back

getting a service, injector clean, throttle body clean, dual stage boost contoller, and a bleed valve and tuned on the dino all done in the next 2 days just hope its ready for sunday.

So at this point i will be there

wooooooooo

Stickers have been ordered but not sure if they'll be ready on the day.:D

I'm cooking up a revised route through the North-West that will get us to Bobbin Head around 1 pm. :)

Just to throw a (late) alternative, I just heard from the Honda club that the Catalina circuit at Katoomba is having an open day on Sunday. This tracks been closed for about 30 years, but still exists and will be open (not for driving :D ).

So, should be consider this instead? We could head up there for the morning and then move on to a BBQ somewhere in the area.

if i remember correctly there is a coval about 30m diameter at the end of bobin heads with a tap in the middle.

if someone brought a hosse we could have some real fun round that circle..... bugger it we can do it in the dry.

wait a second ive just checked the rule books apparently it very illegal to do this, and the head people of SAU dont encorage this

shit

im there but ill bring some rods and catch me a tuna

pete

ps and watch out for bike rides on the way in ive almost hit 40000 of them

Bobbin head's a nice place for a get together, just watch the 101 speed humps! I snapped my sauce pipe last time I was there (not literally). I can't make this one but have fun anyhow :P

Finalised Route:

Homebush Carpark 6C 9-9.30 for 10 am departure -> Silverwater Road -> Victoria Road -> James Ruse Drive -> Old Windsor Road -> Maccas, Windsor Rd Kellyville at 10.45 for 11 am departure -> then cross country to Galston Gorge -> KU Ring Gai Chase Road -> Bobbin Head

We will have a meeting point along the route at Maccas, Windsor Road Kellyville.

This should put us at Bobbin Head around 11.45. If anyone wants to go straight there please do by all means (and reserve some spots :)).

I hope to make this BBQ, but I've got plans the night before and I'll be crashing at someone's house down south, so I'm not sure I'll get to Homebush by 10am...

If I don't wake up too late, I'll meet you guys at the BBQ spot :P

    • True, might get it looked at. Found out you can in fact flatten the 12v battery relatively easily too the other day (kids lefts the hazards on) so meaning to get that checked in the new year. What's odd is it'll blow cold from both vents if you have the ac down as low as poss (18), but anything else the passenger one blows warmish. Also has been summer since I got it obvs but noticed it didn't seem to want to blow hot last night when we had a cold snap. 
    • You ask for things. You specifically state you want responsiveness. A link was provided for a far superior, more responsive option. Find a MX5 workshop that will install it for you. Maybe MX5 Mania will throw on the Fab9 kit. It seems they want to charge almost 14K installed for their kit, so if they charge you $6K to install the FAB9 kit then you'll be ahead? Though really, the 2.5 with a 2860 running low boost will more or less feel as good as anything else. It's a lot of displacement and a small turbo. Think of a more modern RB26 with one stock turbo :p TBH, truth be told I've been driving my own car, and use about 50% throttle at most for 99.9% of the time. Mr Bogan is likely similar so this is all going to be semantics for the use case he actually has. (He'll be happy with anything relative to now) However, the EFR is hands down far superior in this use case. You really, really, really, really do notice it over the Garrett or equivalent.  
    • You are correct, the earlier the torque, the earlier things snap
    • Gents, it will be getting the MX5 Mania kit and the 2.5 will be staying where it is My query was about the 0.64 or the 0.86, whilst the 0.64 might spool a bit faster, would the 0.86 be better IRT EGT and mechanical sympathy, with only a small difference in spool And as I assume I won't need alot of boost to get to 200kw, probably around 10 psi, and with max rpm at 6500, would high EGT even really be a issue with a 0.64 I'm heading into MX5 Mania at the end of Jan to discuss the install, so any info is welcome prior to that Basically have a chat and book a time so they can throw on the turbo kit, and fit a oil cooler with a thermostat, drive in drive out of course  In other news: just finished cleaning the car inside and out, it's now all ready to get covered in bugs and dirt driving to Goulburn tomorrow to lunch,  and go for a stroll along woolondilly River with the daughter and her boy, and of course, visit my grandcats and my new grandpuppy 
    • Sounds like it has an actual problem with mode select doors, or something.
