So after many topics about Perth cruises for us, nothing ever happened and nothing got planned so this is the thread that will get things into motion. (hopefully)

Im just asking a few questions first are we interested in a doing a cruise up to the hills or York, Toodyay or south with a stop somewhere for a bite to eat (something like our last adventures)or are you wanting to have a social get together without the cruise instead?

Dates i was looking at would be around Sat/Sun Weekend 25-26th October or Sat/Sund Weekend 8-9th November. This would give plenty of time to organise, sort and book if need be etc.

throw your ideas etc in here and lets organise to have the next meet :D

Cheers

too many weddings and interstate trips for me to commit to October but November would be sweet!

I am up for anything, but a small cruise combined with a social get together at the end would be my preference. Obviously something at least a little kid friendly would be good, coz if I wanted to hoon about with tools then there are plenty of other options available.

South would be good too - maybe dwellingup or similar? Or, if people are up for an adventure maybe even a picnic at somewhere like Logue Brook Dam.

I would be up for a cruise in november as october is full of wedding as well for me also doing the engine swap.

I know an awesome cruise route down south, takes a while but is sweet. For you perth guys allow a full day.

Basically meet here in bunbury at BP australaind (huge carpark and last chance to fill up on BP98) then go to bridgetown via collie, in bridgetown there's a place to stop for those of us with kids, stretch get something to nibble etc (there's a great lolly shop)

Then from bridgetown through to Nannup (brockman highway, awesome road bit bumpy and single lane sometimes but worth it, the idiots stay at home for this one).

Then Nannup to Balignup, at the end of the road as you come into Balignup there is an awesome tavern with really good food and not bad prices, and a play ground for the kids.

Then from Balignup you go back through donnybrook to bunbury or you can go through to Busselton. So basically at nannup everyone makes there own way home.

We have done this one before and if you leave early in the morning you make the tavern by lunch.

I have the map route at work i will try and get it 2moro.

Just an idea.

how in the hell did you manage to leave donelly river off there?

Great route, but the road from brigetown to donelly river is an absolute cracker IMO

Other than that, I can def vouch for this route.

i'd come along but that weekend is no good for me. family stuff on..

dates arent confirmed at all as of yet...trying to figure out if October or Nov suit....looks like November is working at this stage...???

Ok i'll get the map route 2moro and see if we can incorporate it in??

i havent organised anything myself as the car will be undergoing work in a couple of weeks and trying to get this yellow sticker off, i dont know how long the conversion will take me but should be right for mid to late november, i can always bring the gto if the stagea aint going anyway.

Mid to late Nov gonna be the best for me to.

I have the map route now from work. Not gonna post it up coz there could be people watching :(

if anyone wants it i can send it to them and we can think bout it, just an idea.

    • 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.
