this is an even better souva place, flamed fetish, and you dont need to go through the middle of frankston to get there, they also have hj's, noodle in a box, appetito's, charcoal chicken a fish n chip shop and 2 supermarkets, for those that need fuel there is a safeway/caltex across the road and a mobil is easy to get to, and of course a big car park and the part we will be parking in is mostly empty as it is up the back.

if you keep going to mccormicks road and turn right the mobil is at the corner of ballarto rd and mccormicks.

my vote is down for the 6th at 4, i do night shift so 10am would be a bit hard for me to get to.

hell yeaH!!!! along with a light show =P hahahaha

i've done the full length of it a couple of times now and my god it's awesome. it would probably be better in something that doesn't run on deisel and do 0-100 in like a week and a half, although it is nice to be able to see over the top of everybody :laugh:

All righty Everyone...

Looks like it will be this Sunday, the 6th, meeting at 3:30pm at the Doncaster Park-and-Ride...

I'm still looking at the suggested south meet points...

The first was Melways Ref. 102 A5... ...On the beach between Liddesdale Av and Warringa Rd...

Second was 102 B3... ...The car park for Frankston Pier...

I think W0rp3D suggestion looks good (100 H3)... ...It is just off the end of EastLink where it becomes Frankston Fwy... ...and with the weather looking like it will be cloudy and less than 15ºC... ...Some under cover areas might be good... ...And we don't have to go all the way into Frankston...

And just for the extra Ref... ...Doncaster Park-and-Ride Melway Ref. is 46 J1...

And FYI... ...For some unknown reason... ...I can't Edit the details in my first post...

just so as you know the location i pointed out is not under cover but there are lots of shops and the shopping centre its self to take cover in.

for some reason they have changed the whole board so you cannot edit your posts, makes threads like this and the for sale section a pain in the arse.

Ahh... ...Oh well... ...It just looked like it when I went to Google Maps to have a look for myself...

is anyone else concerned that eastlink itself hasn't shown up on google maps yet?

is this whole eastlink thing just a mass hallucination or something?

according to their satellite images, there is no freeway there at all. just dirt.

damn backwards australians and their dirt freeways...

Just makes it more fun to get the ass out...

i'm in if the weather stays nice and i don't make finals in the tournament im in

if i do make finals i'll have to miss this one

been on eastlink a few times in different spots but think it'll be awesome to do the whole run with a bunch of other lines! can't wait

do we have a time for the frankston meet point?

Oh right... ...Yeah...

I'm guessing it will take about an hour to get down there... ...So lets say 5pm... ...We'll go with 100 H3 (Carrum Downs) as the Frankston meet point... ...The one you pointed out...

I can't get onto the EastLink web site for some reason tonight... ...So I'm not too sure how long it will really take us...

    • Thanks Duncan! Yeah it's street use for me only. Maybe occasional track day. Any difference in noise when running with the two pumps? I would expect the lift pump to be more quiet than the main pump so hopefully not? And yes, unfortunately quite a big price difference to the simple hanger setup. Though I'm usually willing to trade money for better reliability and future-proofing. Buy once, cry once and all that. I'd be very happy to never have to deal with fuel pump / wiring issues again  
    • The old manifold was quite under the GTR strut brace.  The new manifold is quite [unknown] the GTR strut brace. The GTR strut brace was needed to clear the bonnet vents. The Old strut brace will almost certainly clear the new manifold, but not the bonnet vents. The old strut brace will almost certainly clear the new manifold, and the new bonnet without vents. But I am hoping the GTR strut brace clears the new manifold :p
    • On the bright side, at least you knew that it happened and remedied before anything happened. A friend of mine just took his Fiat 124 to a shop for an oil change and they didn't tighten the oil filter housing properly. 4.5 quarts spewed out and even after refilling + tightening the cap the engine has a tick now.
    • So, more pain. The FAST manifold is a little larger than the stocker. This is problematic because there really wasn't much clearance to begin with, so going from 'barely enough' well into 'no' is sad based on the external dimensions of the thing, even though where it bolts to the head is the same. Result is the fuel rails sit a good 25mm higher, and this is a bit of an issue with the wiring that runs behind the motor, and the fuel lines, and everything else. When pushing the manifold on, it required a huge amount of force to crush wiring looms to fit it, sensors like the MAP sensor are about 1mm from the firewall, and the FPR just has to bend ABS lines to be forced into place. After some brainstorming and some sad drinking, the loom for some reason ran from the grommet behind the ABS sensor, then to the driver side head, then back to the passenger side head. So all of this was pulled back and stripped, a few wires cut and rejoined, so that the 'branch' was now on the passenger side's head as below: Before you basically couldn't see anything behind the driver head. This is much improved! The MAP sensor is now pointing up (instead of at the firewall) Brackets have been made up for the rail. The rails are for a LS1, the manifold is designed around a LS2 as it's base. Which of course has slightly different bracketry and water pump clearance, hence the mods people need to do. Should be hopefully mounted tonight. I spent money on a new FPR that is slightly more compact than my Turbosmart FPR1200. The gauge has also been moved to the rail. There's also apparently an ORB to AN Union instead of the adapter, because the ~25mm of the current adapter is going to make the difference. Provided this all goes together and arrives today, it'll be the totally not stressful attempt to start it.
