Hey guys,

So I think a thread with things to do and go see in the ACT would be a worth while thing.

This will help new members or even people looking for things to do and are browsing the internet.

Lots of the things listed all over the place is parliament house and other attractions but maybe a few members have some secret places or activities they like doing.

I will start with one that I was told about and will get a layout happening that you can follow if you like.

Name: Island Getaway

Location: Off the edge of the Museum

Activity: There is an island that is situated just off the Museum which you are able to get to by boat.

My friends used a blow up boat purchased for $20 and rowed over there.

On this Island there is nice green grass a few trees and a BBQ! yep a bloody BBQ!

Take a boat full of snags etc and make a day of it with a few mates or a partner.

Could be romantic if you spent a little more then $20 on the boat haha.

Remember to take a BBQ scraper!

Items needed: BBQ things , blow up boat or other type of inflatable material,

Extras: *Warning* If your as daring as my friends they decided to keep floating down the river and ended up at the governor generals house and decided to go for a walk haha got chased by police as well.

Hope everyone gets in on this so I can find a few more things to do.

Also I am sure a few of you are stuck in a routine that you wouldn't mind getting out of.

It's called Springbank Island, Kasko!

Ok this is not very exciting, but if you love your doggy it's a nice spot. We had an SAU Xmas BBQ down here one time.

Name: Lazeh River Day :D

Location: Uriarra East Reserve, drive down the Cotter Road, turn at Uriarra Road, keep driving until you get to it

Activity: Only about 20mins from Weston. Laze around in the river in the sun, free from the dog nazis :P Lots of other friendly people who love their pupsters too. There's a "beach" and plenty of separate little spots if you want to get away from everyone else. Enormous grassy area to have a picnic or BBQ.

Items needed: Swimmers, sunscreen, beers, stubby holders, food (optional :D ) and dog!

Extras: Check if there's a fire ban before planning a BBQ as they are wood. On that note you may need to bring some firewood too.

Gordon adventure playground for the WIN!

Aside from having BBQ facilities, it offers a few very fun ways to break a limb, which is more than i can say for the rest of Canberra.

Just get some unsuspecting friend of loved one to cross the rope bridge thingy and start taking pot shots at them with a football.....

However this place is most suitable for either big kids or young families

Name: Gordon Adventure playground (not a very secret place)

Location: Uh, Gordon.....

Activity: BBQ's, General Shennanigans, Ball games, etc.

Items needed: Friends, Family, BBQ supplies, Food, Beers, Football.

You're right Kasko, there ain't much to do around here it would seem. lol.

      Yeah, really happy with how it all turned out As for aftermarket lip, nah, I'm not really a fan for practically reasons on a street car that gets driven everywhere  I did have the full lower kit on my 2015 STI, but found the front lip scrapped alot, even at stock 4x4ish ride height As the NC sits now, with the lowest point of the car at 110mm, so just legal, some steep driveways and steep speed humps will still "just" scrap those little plastic OEM air dam thingies on the undertray just before the front wheels

      Here's one I help build and tuned a decade ago, Garrett  GTX3071R Gen 1, T3 twin scroll 0.83 rear housing. Went from larger 272 cams down to smaller Tomei Poncams to help with the low end. S13 non VCT motor. Car was purpose built for the track, hence low down was the focus. Note the actual dyno chart shows lower boost, however the EBC and boost gauge showed 1.9Bar (Ignore the torque, I was young and didn't know how to set derived torque)

      I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.

      Awesome writeup and details. Thanks for sharing the story so far. I can relate to parts of it with my previous car and some of the issues I had to deal with.

      Wow the colour matched hard top completely transforms the car. Are there any nice front lip options for the car or is that off the table?
