Well definitely a lot of interest here.. amazing, people do read the QLD forums :mad:

I think its just a matter of planning a route, that a large number of people its not too out of the way for, its a reasonable time, and giving PLENTY OF NOTICE.. i think that is the main key. At least 2-3 weeks notice, not "oh I'm going down here tonight, anybody want to meet up".

Sundays is good for me usually. I'll come down to Coomera if its a once a fortnight thing, its not far.. and its fairly open area around there for mucking about later on. But I'm not going anywhere for a while because I'm a bit poor :D

The other option is to get some more hardcore cruisers who want to try the mountains as a smaller group some nights. Sometimes late night runs can be excellent, because you get the cooler conditions to make your turbo go zip, and less cop and traffic troubles... but I'm not sure I guess you want to watch out for kangaroos this part of the world! That was never a problem in VIC :)

Hey Strutto,

Kudos for organising a good meet, too bad we were temporarily interupted by a bogan in a bombadore who came within a metre of a petrol bowser going sideways, what a wanker!

Hey did you see that RX7 spitting flames?!?! When you came up and past me and we took off it ATE me! After you got off we slowed down a bit and saw the flames shooting out the back, it was pretty cool!

Cant wait till next week! We'll have to get some "Team //GC" stickers :D

Ska: Thanks! Yeah some nice flames from the rotor. I've seen bigger from mine on the dyno though :rofl: Betcha the RX7 is in the workshop tomorrow!

Bogans: "Hey man, is that a skyline?? Do you'se like em or sumfin? Watch me do a fully sik donut in my stock EA Falcon in a packed servo with video cameras everywhere" LOSERS...

MELV: Your car is GOD...

Everyone who showed up: Thanks for comin...

Everyone else: This was NOT Mad Mountain //GC... Just a little meet up at BP Coomera to discuss the impending Mad Mountain cruise... Pity we didn't discuss it though... DOH!

Majority rules so it's going to be on a Sunday starting at BP Coomera... Early morning so the Brissy boys can make it... There will be PLENTY of notice when it happens. We have to sus the route first.

Stay tuned for further breaking information...

Yeah, was great to meet some of you tonight and hope to see you all when we go on a sunday cruise up the mountains. sunday at the coomera bP sounds good if we're going towards Mt tamborine, if heading north, glass house mtn then we can split to a few groups.

coomera bp for the gC boys then meet the Brissy boys at office works c/park and cont north to meet the rest at asply maccus and take off from there. what u think?

i went to milton and caught up with bryan, then we went to aspley, got there via airpot and at 10:30 not a **** in there, so we all park in there,(about 12) cars and the securtiy with a dog came out and told us to park elsewhere.

I'm sorry I coulnt go down to you guys, but would be interested in the crusie on sunday, pm me please.

:( sounded like you all had a great time, my headlights came today so if alls well hopefully i can join the next one :)

whos planning on going to drag combat? im hoping ill be able to drive there, either way i am going :cheers:

Zoix: I think i saw you yesterday, at gumdale/belmont post office ? we drove past in a grey skyline with big fmic, not sure if it was you. If it wasnt, then you have someone copying you !

    • Yeah 98 for me, and 6.7/100 was my actual usage. On the downside the bloody thing still isn't running properly but at least they hybrid system is happy now. It starts but missfires like a bastard, and isn't throwing any code except "missfire". Thanks scoop. I did notice the AFMs are reading quite different at idle 1.33v and 1.67v so 25% variance (and have both changed and swapped them, the issue stays on the driver's side afm) so I'm looking for exhaust restriction (mouse nest?), compression issue or (hopefully not, no physical damage seen) wiring issue. Throttle might also be an issue but that is harder because you can't swap them side to side and not cheap to fire the parts cannon at.
    • I hope you're right and it somehow justifies it's existence!
    • actually, I've had one of those for a while and it gets more use than you'd think. Yes catching subframes, engines etc coming out under a car on a hoist, but also getting heavy stuff on shelving (to a certain height) without a forklift, holding the fuga's hybrid battery....like many good tools you'll find the jobs for it once you have it
    • Right, so God, it's been nearly 12 months since my last confession....  The main confession is I'm a horrible car modifier (amongst other things).  Obviously the pool was a massive distraction for the entirety of last year but really doesn't excuse me for doing nothing at all on the car for this year.  To be honest this year was a mental break to get over the extreme mental torment and pressure I put myself through putting the pool in!  It really was a slog.  The pool is still not completely finished but it might never be....  The kids love it and the wifey and I love it so mission success! I have spent a grand total of 30 minutes working on the car since when I commenced on the pool.  I just have not had a spare brain cell to be able to focus on it.  The thought of working on it just seems abhorrent to be honest.  My heart is just not into it.  Yet..... What I have done is decide that I'm a clown to not paint ALL of the underside of the car while I'm at it.  Originally I was stopping at the start of the rear subframe to then "get back to it later on once I'm ready".  Let's be honest, later on might never happen so may as well keep diving in!  I'm already balls deep so may as well go a bit deeper! So......  I've just purchased a hydraulic scissor lift table to be able to take the rear subframe out as a whole unit without having to dick around with jack stands rolling around on the ground.  Us 6' 8" blokes don't operate well at ground level! One of these- Anyway, will the investment in an expensive tool that I'll probably only ever use for one job motivate me to crack on?  Only time will tell..... Wish me luck!
    • Yeah the ACL and similar formable heat shielding materials are really nice. But most people do not have the patience or talent to do a good job like that. Almost anything is better than nothing though. Even if you didn't form it closely like that and just had a slab of it slipped in between the manifold and somewhere/thing you wanted to protect, you would gain benefit. There has to be a market opportunity for people like Artec to make formed heatshields to suit their cast manifolds. The fact that they are cast means that they are consistently the exact same dimensions and they could add bosses to the castings like you see on stockers to allow heat shields to be firmly attached yet floating away from the manifold itself.
