Western side of the WRR.

When you get onto the WRR from the Geelong FWY - you'll be on the correct side of the road.

Worth noting to all - that between the Geelong FWY on-ramp and the Mobil servo are a set of 'traffic safety cameras' carefully disguised as a road-sign. They are active and regularly book criminals outrageously doing 104km/h in a 100km/h zone.

Please be aware of this and keep it under 100 for this short stretch of the WRR (the cameras are on the first 3-lane wide sign after the Geelong on-ramp). The servo is no-more than 2km from the ramp.

thanks for the heads up on the cameras an clarifying directions. I'd be more than happy to organise a meeting point in Geelong if there are any other geelong liners thinking of going? sounds like a good drive that shouldnt be missed. Hopefully theres even more cars than the GOR cruise.

have to get myself one of those UHF radios from Jaycar or something too....

Nothing wrong with just shy of 30!

And of coarse they can come. Cruise is open to all as long as they behave (shouldn't be an issue with "older" guys). I have a mate with a TX3 that is prob going to join us.

I've never witnessed them being stupid nor irresponsible, but there can always be a first time right? I'll word them up accordingly.

And I'm not laughing at you if your post was directed at me! I've just never seen your car man and know you'd prefer to drive than to be a passenger!

Andrew: anything wrong with over 30? :Paranoid:

Then they can't come......us older guys have to behave badly...overcompensating to fit in :D

Seriously it will be good, and Ash can't have my spare 'line. Troy (yellowgtr) must surely have a couple he could put together.

No not at all (only cause Im not far away from it!!) Infact later in the year I will have to organise an over 30's cruise just so I can feel young again! haha.

It should be a lot earlier this time. Im expecting to be returned no later than say 4pm. The difference is this time we are only ever 1hr from Melb city max at any point anyways so its much easier to go any time if you need to.

I wll be 30 in 4 weeks time [yikes] - count me in on the ADULTS cruise later in the year :D

Haha - you old farts. I'm not 30 until next year :P

You're gunna get a backhand from an old fart when I see ya on the cruise.

F**k I'll be 42 on Sunday so you have a lot of catching up to do. At least I still look good and I'm very immature.

    • I swear at my GKTech ones every time I have to take them apart and replace a spherical. But I wouldn't swap them for anything else. They absolutely slay every other option, at least in terms of how they actually work. You sure you don't want to live with bearings? I mean, they don't have "ball bearings". They are rod ends and sphericals throughout. Tough as nuts, even though I have found more than one way to wear them out.
    • From when I was looking at getting the 86 engineered for the turbo, the joint said to put in a few euro 5 or 6 cats, then tune the car on a nice clean E85 tune When I was looking at a turbo for the MX5, it was basically the same thing, a couple of cats and a nice clean tune Although, it will depend on the year of the Jeep IRT emmisions standards required, and what mods are done, especially if it has a newer engine installed that requires a higher Euro
    • Yeah - but it's not actually that easy. There are limits for HC, CO, NOx and particulates. Particulates shouldn't be a concern in any petrol engine unless trying to comply to the very latest Euro standard. But getting a tune right so that all the others stay within limits AT THE SAME TIME is not a trivial exercise. You couldn't possibly get it right by just guessing at the tuner's dyno, unless he had a 4 gas analyser up the pipe, which is not often the case these days. It used to be. Every decent shop that did "tune ups" (as opposed to tuning) would have a 4 gas analsyer. Perhaps there's still quite a few of them around these days. But most "tuners" are only watching O2 and power readings.
    • Slight segway but the most expensive part of the whole thing which I would have thought would only be required for an engine size/type swap, not a VIV test, is emissions testing.  That's when you get into the big bucks.  I can't remember the exact price now but I got quotes for the GT-R based on swapping to RB30 (not that anyone bothers doing it legally anymore...) and it was around $4500 just for that alone.  The guy that does them manipulates the tune on the vehicle to make sure it passes.  The cheaper option is to book into Kangan Batman Tafe (I think that's where it was) and hire their tester.  Allegedly you're not allowed in there with the car though so not in a position to tweak anything to make sure the vehicle passes.  I'm sure in this day and age of ultra tuneable ECU's you could get the tuner to program a special efficiency (clean) tune that emits the lowest amount of particulates possible that would pass the test.  It might only make 50kW's but as long as it passed who cares!
    • I'm sure he has left signs, or, he is looking down, laughing That's my cunning plan for when I leave, lots of half finished projects, with no rhyme or reason of where I was actually up to, just to keep everyone on their toes
