Yeah thanks to the organisers - I had a good day... it was nice to take the 'line out (I've been working from home since March, so I haven't driven it that much lately).

I was gonna follow the Sunny Coasters back via Beerwah/Peachester, but thought I'd better get home a bit earlier and get stuck into the work I was supposed to be doing today... but instead I'm on here!! :dry:

yes,

thanks to the noisy actions of some people leaving, a police car turned up. :dry::wave::)

and for the record before all the rumours start, I was an issued a ticket for not having an up to date registration sticker.

Although rego has been paid, it wasn't showing up as so, and i was issued a ticket. I was told I could get it waived upon production of a reciept (which I have ) so no harm done.

thanks everyone for coming.

hope evryone got home safely

Good to see everybody, and went pretty well for the most part. Few new faces as well as the usual ones.

I'll sound like an old timer here, but yeah, common sense guys. Revving the shit out of the engine and flat lining it down the road in the area you are planning on staying for a few hours is pretty stupid. Not the thing for an official day cruise in a residential area. Only a matter of time before somebody complains and the cops show up, even if its just to take a look.

I couldn't agree more. I found myself shaking my head a few times. :( I guess it just goes to show that I am getting old I suppose.

Other than that, I had an enjoyable day. Was great to see some old faces and to meet some new ones. Was a little bit nipply early on, however once the sun came out it made things just that much nicer.

Look forward to the new thread with all the pics of the day.

Big thanks to the organisers and also to everyone who made the effort the to make the day worthy event.

Cheers

Peter

    • I am currently going this route. I am curious how much horse power you put behind the cut bell housing? Collins was telling me I am going to crack it and bluh bluh bluh. Because I didn’t buy the custom fly wheel from him. I am looking for somewhere around like 500 hp
    • Forgot to mention that these are the before pics when I first got it!
    • Thanks @PranK for the updated member status, much appreciated! 👍🏼 Now, about those pics… Unfortunately I could only find ones that I took in the dark. I was soon to discover that underneath it wasn’t in the best shape, but it was mine and that’s all I cared about at the time 😆
    • Oh, and only having done this task yesterday, I've now driven the car ~60km since, and while it is hard to avoid placebo effect and confirmation bias, I reckon that some annoyances I had with the way the car has been behaving have improved. Which....kinda makes sense, I guess. If the bushes were really stiff and resisting rotation, they would have been contributing to the effective wheel rate. And if it was more so on one side (which it was, because one side was worse than the other) then.... you might imagine that the additional rate would be asymmetric, and potentially even different between compression and rebound. And so... the car has been twitchy at higher speeds - like freeway on ramps. It really shouldn't be. The wheel alignment is good and there are no (other) known problems elsewhere in the suspension. But at 90-100 on a long sweeping ramp, tiny steering wheel motions would make it feel like it wanted to rear steer. Quite nervous. At lower speeds it would heave about in a manner that it didn't use to. Didn't want to put power down, etc etc. Now...seems to behave better. Am going to have to concentrate on the various corners where it has exhibited weirdness, on the rare occasions when I can get a decent run at them without Methanial getting in the way in his D-Max/Ranger/LDV Van/etc.
