ARRGHHGHGHHG THAT'S IT ZAP DIES THIS WEEK!

Um i din mean to dori dori in the carpark... i pulled out n the back slid out... and i was liek hey... this could be fine, so I switched sides and hung the other side out..

then my responsible side kicked in and went "oh shit, i jus threw up gravel n sand and there's liek 10 cars behnd me... there go recently washed look..." that's why I put an apologetic hand up...

I made a mistake with that meetup point tho... I meant it to be a bit further down where its like a lil carpark that's on the beach front and like u can actually see the cars and the bewach from the road... not hidden behind shrubs..

ahh well.. next time

cool photo, i like!

yeah shan, i first had a good look at the car park opposite 'Red Bluff Hotel', cos that has the 360 degree-ness u were talking about when u first organised this thing. Then all u guys weren't there so i was heading off down to half moon and just happened to catch a glimpse of some dude taking a pic of a white skyline thru the bushes ;)

anyways, if u r ever organising something down bayside again, just give me a bell if u want to clear anything up, cos i'm a yokel :)

maybe i can be SAU sacrificial car for cruises, i can like dori across 2 lanes so u guys can all stay together and stuff!! :) oooo ooo, and get those commander things than can change traffic lights!! hehe

yeah chinny das the one I was thinking of as well... i looked at it on the map n I was like.. yeah that looks about right...

but it wasn't ah well... i got to do some gravel powerslides out of it....

wonder if any1 else did or I was da only immature one ;)

and this :zap: stuff isn't too bad... after a few drinks...

:zap: :zap: :zap: :zap: :zap:

Where else nice scenic cruising routes beside GOR? I had a drive past Warrnambool along the coast up to Adelaide. It was a terrific drive with many things to see along the way, although it'll be a bit too far for many, and wouldn't be suitable for a 1 day cruise.

I was wondering if anyone tried going along the coast up to Lakes Entrance, would that be as nice as GOR?

I would be happy to do the same cruise again, as far as cruises go it was a little weak, but if we could fill the car park at elwood or somewhere similar, that would be awesome! I would like to end a cruise somewhere with a park in plain view of our cars. I am sure that folks right now are travelling to places over the holidays and will come back with some great suggestions!! HINT HINT C'mon peoples lets make the next cruise even better.

    • 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.
    • Hmmm. that's a tough one. There's a lot of history bundled up in that lot. Perhaps instead we can create a new pinned thread, called "Legacy Pinned Threads" and provide links to the these ones that will be unpinned in there. And maybe put the names of the pinned threads that are linked inside in the tags so they can seen from the outside? Or something like? I mean, it's half a step back towards having a more complicated forum structure, without actually having it. But there's a reason that heirarchical architectures exist. They are logical, and if executed properly, make it easy to find something without having any upfront knowledge of where it would be , and without using a search function.
    • Can we unpin a bunch of dead / irrelevant threads from: https://www.sau.com.au/forums/forum/8-engines-forced-induction/ New players at home will scroll and think this forum is dead.
    • It's all about selling non-compliant emmisions stuff, and things like tuning stuff that makes your car have more emmisions, a very small percentage of modifications and tuning go into race cars, the vast majority of tuning and mods, like catless exhausts, or non-compliant cats, go into street cars with registration  Like a gun shop can only sell to someone with a gun licence, if they don't, they are fined and even jailed, and whilst a gun is totally different to a tune, or a catless exhaust, they are still illegal for a street car As for customers, it easy, they send a letter and tell them to show up for an inspection, like if someone says your car is to loud now, if they don't show up for the test, they can cancel rego, just like not paying a traffic fine This has been happening for years overseas in other countries  I'm in no way happy about it, but, I think there is definitely writing on the wall for modern cars with emissions standards, which will effect tuning shops, parts suppliers and end users And like other countries around the world, it is the government's that makes the rules and regulations for street cars with rego What would happen to a tuner or workshop if they were investigated about turning off stuff in a ECU IRT emmisions stuff like engine check lights for cats, or removing cats, or putting in a lower cell cat, this is apparently all illegal IAW modifications to registered cars, or, retuning the car so that with even stock emmision stuff still installed, but due to the tuning, or parts, like bigger cam shafts, it will now not pass the emmisions test Yes, I am going into a rabbit hole, but going off what other countries are doing IRT everything related to emmisions........cars, trucks, manufacturing, mining, modified vehicles are a easy target Meh, time will tell how it goes either way
