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 !

    • 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.
    • 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.
