Official event: Shepparton overnight stay and DECA fun day cheer squad cruise


Recommended Posts

I still come if someone out there wants to enter me as a second driver!! Come on - you know you want too!!

Im soo bummed my car isnt available :D Was looking forwards to this for ages.

But Im a crappy spectator (well Im a crappy driver as well but hey!) so I couldnt bring myself to go all that way just to watch.

Because I don't even have the ute at the moment - its in getting some touch up work so I can sell it.

And the wife wont let me use her car - and Gerlad just sold his car last Friday.

So the gods are against me.

Hey Andrew, I can let you use my Gemini if you like.. It's registered. 2 Litre, cam, head work exhust, RPM clutch lowered, 17" rims. No LSD, but I could swap the diff to a locked one if you wanna give me a hand. Goes ok, but nothing compared to the line. We might even swap on the day.

Let me know ASAP.

I have had a change of plans in regards to accomodation. Was staying at a friends in Merchison, but he has other stuff on now. Does anyone have a spare bed in a room?

Otherwise, James can you give me the number of this hotel so I can try book myself in..

Ta, Chris.

Chris / Jarrod,

Guys - thanks both for the offers and at this stage I am still keen to come up. The tough part is that it seems now there is a slim possibility my car may be ready on time. Although Im not holding my breath, but if toyota have gear sets in stock then Im in luck. But I won't know if my car is going to be ready until late in the week so especially to you Chris I couldn't say yes right now - although the idea of taking the gemini has some strange appeal I must admit! lol.

But one way or another it looks like I will come up anyways so if still need to beg for a drive I can do so at the Shep Pub on Sat night. :D

Chris - got your PM, rang hotel - all good.

Spoke to Al - he has the details of the hotel also.

I still at work - waiting for marketing dept to ruin my weekend again... but at this stage i still see y'all this arvo.

    • Hey all, I'm sorry if this has been discussed before.  I have a 2008 Japanese import V36 coupe with nav but without Bose. I bought one of those AliExpress android screens, which for the most part works really well.  The only thing that doesn't work is the air con controls (well sort of) and the factory reverse camera.  The AC can be controlled fine but it doesn't report the change in temp and mode to the screen, and the volume knob/other audio controls from the panel don't register on the learning app.  I am pretty certain that the problem is the difference in the head unit between base model (Nav but no Bose) 2007-2009 coupes and anything after 2009.  Mine is the one with the blue connector all the way to the right as seen in this forum post:  The reason I think this is there is one wire left over that doesn't fit anywhere on this head unit, or in the factory screen which also uses different connectors to more recent versions.  I've seen the upgrade from OWC, and have sent the guy a message on eBay but no response yet.  I also don't particularly need the whole kit, just *maybe* an adapter for this one cable.  Did anyone else here have the same problem, or have any insight about what I can do to get this working?  I have been in contact with the seller but all they seem to be able to do is ask for more pictures and videos. Minor edit to add:  I have been researching and found a screen on Aliexpress that actually specifies my head unit in the listing, so these things do exist.  I will contact the seller to see if the wiring adapters are interchangeable with other screens.   Thanks in advance!
