why do you need a lift if you have your car?

I would offer you a lift but you live too far away :cheers:

I 2nd moving this to Events section, give some newer people a chance to attend cruises etc...unless we just want regulars? Edit my post where you see fit.

I'm there as long as there are drunk women and a photocopier... preferabbly both... ahhh much fun was had at previous chrstmas parties with drunk women n photocopiers...

someone go out get food put in there own money

people chip in whatever they want, last bbq at bmt it ranged from 5 to 10 to 20 moneys so whatever is payed can be given back to the person who bought the meat (unless they wanna donate) and then the rest towards the club either to the forums or in the treasurers pocket

I can bring copious amounts of chicken and chicken products (were talkin marinates, kebabs, chicken meatloaf etc etc) as my cuz works in a chicken shop and he gives em to me for free (my freezer is full of chcken)

OK - shall we get confirmations going on before we open it up to all?

Which day - Sat 20th, or Sun 21st?

I know Sat was originally discussed - but we tend to have more success getting people along on Sundays.

Is there a BBQ at Elwood beach carpark? Obviously parking is easy there - but we need to confirm cooking facilities. Other possible location is the Yarra next to Botanical Gardens. Again, ample parking and good BBQs.

I think - yes - for open invitation. Also - yes - for BYO, but we could easily do a pool of sausages/chicken etc and collect some donations on the day (like the pre MAS one at BMT).

Would be good to get all this confirmed by Thurs of this week so there is ample time for people to arrange themselves to be able to come along.

Sorry guys,

was moving house, no net for a few days

Yes, lets make it a public event. Yes there are BBQ's and plenty of parking at the beach at the spot that I'm thinking of (only problem is there are parking fees - $2/hour, $6 daily max)

I would prefer Saturday but I can swap my shift if Sunday is better for the majority... but frankly as we know theres no way of satisfying every1 so we just have to decide on a day

The BBQ is best left at BYO I think, particularly because we never know exact numbers etc. It should be a great day though.

I will post Melway Refs and a map ASAP.

    • Yeah, whenever I say "HP", I mean HP. As in, at the engine. Allowing for a 25% discount from engine to typical Ozzie braked roller dyno figures, then subtracting the usual (more optimistic) US inertia dyno offset..... you get into the 600 actual engine HP territory from your 484 wheel number. 484 / 0.75 = 645   (that's Aussie rw intertia HP, converting to approximate engine HP. 645 --> 600 is discount for inertia dyno. Could actually be worse than that. But that would still be up around 600. So near enough for purposes.
    • Still fast enough to have fun (kinda). Time for a modern turbo with a divided turbine housing and a proper twin scroll manifold. I think 400-450kW is a great place to be, provided it's all in before 4500 rpm.
    • i'm not at 600 though 😢 its 484hp (356kw) at the wheels.. 
    • Nice. 600ish HP is probably a nice place to be.
    • In the US the EPA has been going after shops that sold aftermarket ECU tuning software that allowed you to disable CELs for things like EGR, DPF, SCR, or TWC failure. They also went after shops for selling emissions delete equipment. Their logic is that all cars built for street use have this emissions equipment and you cannot do an after the fact conversion to an off-road vehicle not intended for street use. Cobb, Hondata, and similar companies have basically all revised their tuning software such that going forward you cannot suppress DTCs for emissions-critical systems, nor can you toggle systems on and off in the tune like EGR. You also cannot adjust OBD emissions monitoring logic. You can still tune these cars. But you have to do things the hard way, basically. For example Subaru FA20DITs used to delete the TGV system to get spare analog IO for a flex fuel sensor. EGR also has to be dramatically pared back because without the TGVs the stock EGR map causes bad misfires. Now instead they have to implement the flex fuel system as a CAN bus sensor instead. IMO, this is heavy-handed but the EPA in the US gave so much leeway for so long and the aftermarket relentlessly abused that leeway to the point that they could actually see the effects of all these emissions-deleted work trucks on their air quality monitoring for cities that haven't met Clean Air Act standards. It's one thing to have a few people deleting emissions on their weekend car that spends 9 months out of the year on jack stands. It's another thing entirely for entire fleets of tradies driving around 8 hours a day on deleted diesels that emit 1000x the emissions per mile of a compliant vehicle.
