hi guys/girls

just trying to spark up some intrest for a cruise to apollo bay via the back road [ie: from winchelsea to apollo bay].... lots of awsome twistys and puts gor to shame.

i know its a rather long cruise but is well worth it!!!!!

sunday 3rd of june, meet at maccas/ mobil servo western ring road inbound at 11 am for a 1130 start

post up your intrest and lets go for a drive..

No car till August :)

(i hope it's ready in August)

For those that do not know Spiro, i have meet him once and he was a top and honest bloke. He also has a mean looking silver 33 with black rims (like Dezz's), looks awesome.

Good luck with the cruise buddy :rant:

hi 95 sky and 33 god

yea some of the road has been resurfaced[the better sections of twistys] and is really grippy and smooth!!

and i hear you about the rain you really dont want any accidents on this road as you wont hit a car youll be looking at lots of trees/furns upside down most prob lol

any ways thinking sunday 3rd of june would be a good date and a meet at 11am mobil service station/maccas on the western ring road inbound would be a good place to start

come on people get behind this and come and have a great day

    • Update: I got the magnet out. I bought 3 different flexible magnetic reach tools, but none of them worked. The magnet on the tip was all less than 2lbs of force, so i had to buy a special cylindrical magnet that had a pull force of 9lbs.  The magnet finally came in the mail yesterday, so i got under the car to get to work. The super strong magnet isn't that long, so i only have about 1 finger pinch lengths to hold it. I was so scared when i was going in the hole, that the 9lb magnet would just fly away inside the oil pan never to be seen again, but i had my butt cheeks clenched and finger gripped on that thing so tight, i managed to get it to suck the other magnet out.  It was a victory for me last night.         
    • Yep, pretty much what you said is a good summary. The aftermarket thing just attached to the rim, then has two lines out to valve stems, one to inner wheel, one to outer wheel. Some of the systems even start to air up as you head towards highway speed. IE, you're in the logging tracks, then as speeds increase it knows you're on tarmac and airs up so the driver doesn't even have to remember. I bet the ones that need driver intervention to air up end up seeing a lot more tyre wear from "forest pressures" in use on the highway!
    • Yes, but you need to do these type certifications for tuning parts. That is the absurd part here. Meaning tuning parts are very costly (generally speaking) as well as the technical test documentation for say a turbo swap with more power. It just makes modifying everything crazy expensive and complicated. That bracket has been lost in translation many years ago I assume, it was not there.
    • Hahaha, yeah.... not what you'd call a tamper-proof design.... but yes, with the truck setup, the lines are always connected, but typically they sit just inside the plane of the rear metal mudguards, so if you clear the guards you clear the lines as well. Not rogue 4WD tracks with tree branches and bushes everywhere, ready to hook-up an air hose. You can do it externally like a mod, but dedicated setups air-pressurize the undriven hubs, and on driven axles you can do the same thing, or pressurize the axles (lots of designs out there for this idea)... https://www.trtaustralia.com.au/traction-air-cti-system/  for example.... ..the trouble I've got here... wrt the bimmer ad... is the last bit...they don't want to show it spinning, do they.... give all the illusion that things are moving...but no...and what the hell tyre profile is that?...25??? ...far kernel, rims would be dead inside 10klms on most roads around here.... 😃
    • You're just describing how type certification works. Personally I would be shocked to discover that catalytic converter is not in the stock mounting position. Is there a bracket on the transfer case holding the catalytic converter and front pipe together? If so, it should be in stock position.
