Copied this from various other sites its advertised on, the last one was in 2004 and was HUGE 600+ cars!

After the success of the 2003 & 2004 cruise and the support which this group achieved through the Melbourne modified car scean, The Melbourne Car Cruise Registry in conjunction with The Herald-Sun and The Royal Childrens Hospital are proud to present the 2006 Good Friday Appeal Cruise, on Good Friday, the 14th of April, in support of The Royal Childrens Hospital Appeal.

A lot of us and some parents have been associated in some way with the great work which the Royal Childrens Hospital in Melbourne has given the community. Now its our turn to give back to the hospital which has helped so many people in the Melbourne community, as well as people all around Australia and the world.

We have been talking to the Royal Childrens Hospital as well as Channel Seven and the Victorian police and will be running a cruise to raise money for the hospital, to enure that the benefits of this great hospital is available for many years to come.

The cruise will be running from Bunnings Warehouse in Vermont South and then be moving around to various points around Melbourne. Unfortunatly, due to health and saftey issues, we will be unable to use the "Telstra Dome" to park like last year. The Victoria Police have been notified about this cruise. All money raised from map sales will be put towards the appeal, as well as any money which you can add in the form of a donation.

It will be a fun cruise, the more people and cars we get to come, the more money we raise.

So get out there and spread the word about this cruise, it would be great to get as many cars as possible out there to show the community just what the modified car scean is about, but most of all, do it for the kids!

GIVE THAT THEY MAY GROW!!!!!!!!!

A very special thanks to Bunnings Warehouse for letting us use the Vermont South carpark to start this cruise.

    • I'm firmly on the "zero compliance is good compliance" for FUCAs. I'd be looking to solid metal joints even if the primary reason for having them is because they facilitate the twist in the arm. I have never been more happy with the way the front suspension behaves than I have since I got rid of the FUCA bushes. Even the thin little (short lived) poly bushes in the Whiteline adjustables have too much compliance for my liking. It probably won't be long before I have sphericals nearly everywhere, probably including both top and bottom arms in the rear, and I'll start complaining about the increased costs for dental work. But I will be enjoying the driving more, I'm sure.
    • Plus, you'll get great experience in bedding in pads!
    • I have offset Nismo brackets so the fact the gktechs can pivot is less important to me. I have 170mm JIC arms with bushings - but they provide no adjustment and I'm not sure whiteline eccentric bushings will fit them (I don't want to ruin the bushings currently in them to find out). Ideally I want something with bushings + adjustment; hence why I'd like to find a pair of these. Unfortunately they aren't easy to find.
    • @Vee37 How much do you really care about finding these pads again? If your pads are quiet, work well and produce minimal dust, really isn't that enough? If you are set on finding the exact pads again, I suppose I'd do something like this -  Visit your local Jax, find out what brand of pads they carry. If the Jax workshop you previously went to had the pads on the shelf, then you can almost guarantee it will be of said brand.   I'm guessing you don't have the receipt for the previous work and pads. Can you visit a Jax workshop and see if they can look up your previous job to see what pads were fitted?  Still no luck? Put your stalker hat on, find the staff that used to work at the Jax store and ask them. Talk to local workshops, try to find out where the mechanics went to. Talk to Jax workshops, maybe they relocated to another workshop. When it comes to mechanics, its a small world. You'd be surprised how easy it is to track someone down. If these ideas don't work, shit will start getting crazy very quickly.... You could find out every brand and model of pad that fits that car... and try them individually ticking each off the list if it wasn't the one you were looking for.... If you go down this path your going to want to learn how to swap pads yourself, it is very easy, takes minimal tools and space. If you have room to park the car you have room to swap the pads. Plus you have the advantage of making sure all the brake hardware goes back in so they won't squeal!
