If you guys end up going on this little shindig, watch out for Petrol Prices in remote areas ie West and East Coasts. Launceston and Hobart of late have been the same if not cheaper than the Mainland but out the sticks where the roads are too good (you VIC fools think the Great Ocean Road is good) to describe, the prices are jacked up nicely.

Also, only BP Ultimate down there since I was there last.

Winter is the best and cheapest time to go.

Hobart is an awesome place for a night out.

And Drink CASCADE DRAUGHT, no Borries (Boags).

Hey Mike,

GOR is way over rated. Yes for picturesque/scenic routes GOR is probably best in VIC. If you want a good driving road the refton-black spur- kinglake run is tops, by the end off the day you'll be sick of driving through twisties :P

Join SAU VIC and come out with us for a few cruises, events, etc.

Yeah, done Kinglake a few times, nasty piece of road that - dangerous as but towards the King Lake National Park (ie past Dragway Wheels) side it's fantastic - Much like the East coast of VIC ie rolling fast hills and great scenery.

Thanks for the invite!

And Drink CASCADE DRAUGHT, no Borries (Boags).

nooooooooo Boags>Cascade any day of the week, Cascade is awful! You were a from the south?

Boags vs Cascade is mostly a north vs south thing, so you will hear this argument alot.

    • I agree on doing some better than factory pistons, rods, and oil pump. For anyone using the vehicle on the road, I don't get why everyone wants big cams. The stock cam profile, with some more lift would be mint for road usage. Everyone going big cams and then wondering why it isn't as responsive in traffic, when they've shifted the torque curve upwards an additional 1000RPM. Make torque, at lower RPM. Sure it's not as cool as claiming "500KW" and revving it to 8,0000RPM, but that same torque 2,000RPM earlier... Then you don't need the extremely high end pistons and rods, and blah blah blah.
    • Personal experience. Those f**kers burn. And are actually a PITA to put out. Next time I walk down the back, I'll snap a photo of what the inside of the bonnet looks like when that thing ignites. PS, powder fire extinguishers are useless on that stuff too as it's fibrous and when it ignites, it starts to pull apart. And you end up just blowing powder through a sieve effectively.   Like the big thing is, if it's fire resistant, it's job is to stop what burning? The METAL above it? It's just to try keep heat off the bonnet paint work.
    • Oh man, sorry, $60.00000000... 😛
    • That's more or less what he meant. What it really means is that you do not have to go full crazy on the build. Don't need the best oil pump, expensive rods & pistons, big cams, etc. You can upgrade whatever you want instead of using stock level items, but you don't have to. Having said that - any time an RB is opened up, if anything is getting replaced, I think the opportunity should be taken to do all the sensible upgrades. Pistons, rods, pump, etc.
    • February update 🙂 We managed to get the very last 1/18th "Extra Scale" cars stock available from bookstores in Kyoto. These are actually the last ones and will not be restocked again! Hachette Collections Japan have not decided on a release date for these or other models in the series, so for the time being these are all there are available new.  These are showing up on Yahoo auctions at inflated prices already (especially the Celica and NSX) so get yours now at a very reasonable price before they disappear! Stock quantities: NA1 Honda NSX - 1 left: https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/1-18-extra-scale-1990-na1-honda-nsx 1973 Toyota Celica LB 2000GT - 2 left: https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/1-18-extra-scale-1973-toyota-celica-lb-2000gt 1968 Mazda Cosmo Sport - 2 left: https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/1-18-extra-scale-1968-mazda-cosmo-sport 1970 KPGC10 Nissan Skyline 2000GT-R - 2 left: https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/1-18-extra-scale-1970-kpgc10-nissan-skyline-2000gt-r
