Ok ladies/gents.

There was talk about a SAU-Camping event again on Sat.

ie, down GOR, camp the night, then move onto the 12 Apostles and the other tourist style sights on that part of the GOR that you really cant do in one whole day.

This is something you will have to committ 100% too.

Cant have pikers, and it will require a deposit etc etc.

I was thinking around the 24th April, 3 weeks after MAS to give everyone a few weeks off for rest and relaxation and so-on.

We'd stay close to Apollo Bay at a camping ground i know of, that is very secure for valuable cars like ours.

So the element of security wont be a problem.

The location would be given out to those who actually committ of course.

Just to keep it relatively safe etc.

It'd be a later (11am) departure and probably head to Apollo Bay Hotel for beers/dinner etc.

And then more beers and all the comes with it at the camping ground.

What are peoples thoughts?

Any ideas to be thrown around ? ? ?

I know this is a bit early, but something like this needs a bit of planning.

There are a few fishing spots.

There is sea (obviously) and fresh water places.

*The harbour pier

*Surf Fishing

*boat (if you bring one yourself you can do that)

*off the rocks too.

*local fresh water estuaries etc.

I know of lots, dunno how successful you'll be at getting something of an edible size.

But i can certainly show you the areas to go. That's easy done.

Depending on the tides, i'll be able to go and pick-up some good amounts of Abalone for a BBQ ;)

I have a few places where they can be found but i aint telling no-one over this forum where they are hiding. hehehe!

There is also good surf fishing for Salmon about 10 mins from where we are...

But i dunno when salmon season is :) so i cant help too much.

Sounds good ash. Just set the date and i'm there.

I'm thinking you're going to need a fair bit of planning for camping room if it ends up as big as Saturdays GOR cruise.

My car will well and truely be back on the road by then so my hand is up. Let me know if you guys need a hand planning anything mate.

I very much doubt we'll get 45 committed people to camping.

Well im secretly hoping we dont lol!

It'll be a logistics nightmare.

But nothing that cant be done of course with some planning ;)

But in a few weeks i'll go for a quick run down to the camp site (when i get my car back too incidently)

I'll get all their brochures and let them know we might have a reasonable booking coming up to get the ball rolling. See how much of a deposit (if any) they require etc.

So if anyone wants to come for quick belt one morning PM me to keep it outta this thread.

You can come for the food if you like ;)

That's provided i can get it... see, it's dependant on the low tide.

That's the only problem.

As for Camping Equipment... it'll be totally BYO, unless you can find someone to tent it with.

BBQ's etc, is something that we'll look at separately.

It's upto you if a swag will be enough. If it rains, you'll look like a drowned rat in the morning though...

I am definately interested, and keen. Haven't been campin for ages, due to the duck season :D being on hold. I'll bring the marshmellows!!

Would you have any objection to staging another cruise down to Apollo Bay, then the people that want to camp continue up, the others just head back home.

If nothing happens (future is unpredictable) my car would be more than ready to handle the twists, with the new suspension and braking mods :).

Go to K-Mart and pick a tent up for cheap! Actually I think I have a spare 2 man tent if any people are really keen but dont have one.

For that matter my main tent is so massive it can sleep about 10! :wassup:

      The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.

      Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?

      You can probably scrub the rust with a toothbrush or something. After you get the rust off flush well with water to neutralize and you will probably want to also use a fuel tank sealer to keep it from rusting again.

      The sodium citrate solution is designed to buffer the citric acid to keep it from attacking metal quite so much, the guy that came up with that recipe did a ton of testing on how much metal loss occurs over time and it's nothing crazy unless you forget about it for months:

      Dumb rich kid tries modding for the first time

      By Hexi · Posted

      Ohhh I see lol To be honest the main reason why I wanted to start modding is because of a business trip to Japan and Indonesia. I saw many cool and modded cars all throughout in these countries, especially Japan. I myself am of Chinese+Japanese nationality and when living in china (never lived in Japan js my dad side lol) I remember staring at these cars pass by with their loud tacky exhausts and insane wide body kits. And when I went back to Japan, I got even more invested even asking people about their cars and why they modded. Most gave similar answers to what you said but funny enough one guy just said that he saw the need for speed movie being filmed once in Tokyo I think near Shibuya Crossing and got inspired to tune and mod. After that I just started to fantasize on owning a car like that. Also tbh I prefer the R32 over the R34 it's just the R34 is more iconic lol (also apparently better aftermarket support than the R32) and my only goal really is just to make the car mine and make it fun to drive. As much as I love my Cayenne it's pretty bland to drive. Sure the interior is nice and pretty, gives you attention yada yada but I've wanted to experience what it is like to have a car that is truly yours. I suppose thats the goal so far. Haha if you find where I'm from, then sure. Ill help you out on your next "financial decision"
