If you're not working Sunday rotors are a half hour job tops could have it done in no time with a few helpers

It's been a while but it's cruise time again

This time we will be heading north to Buladelah and taking a left to travel Wotten Way and back to the pub for lunch

Will be a leisurly drive north with plenty of chances to get some rolling shots of the cars etc

Meet at the BP at the end of the F3 from 9:00 for a 9:30 departure just bring a full tank of fuel

As with the other cruises we will be the most friendly well behaved group of drivers on the road and any bad behaviour will be reported to the police

Can't edit first post so will add it here instead

Drove the lakes way the other day in the truck and the start is in good condition save for a very short stretch of road that is rough in the truck but would be okay in the cars. Hillclimb sections are perfect with a nice turn around area just after the second descent with lots of room for all the cars

Just thought I would let you all know if anyone is keen for a detour to the cruise on the day

    • Surely the merged entity will be called "Honda" given the relative company values. I've got to be honest, I don't understand how merging 2 companies that missed EVs (despite Nissan making the first mass produced one) will solve their problems
    • If you haven't bought the ECU yet, I would strongly consider buying a modern ECU. Yes it is very easy to setup and tune, however it is lacking many of the features of a modern ECU. The pro plug in is something like 10 or 12 years old now? Can't remember exactly but it is very dated now. In that time the Elite was released and now we have the Nexus platform.  I would strongly consider not buying the ECU that is 3 generations old now (especially as it isn't a cheap ECU!). 
    • Im happy for it as long as it means reanult gets the boot 
    • Sorry I should have been more clear with the previous post.  The block is a sanding block - picture something like this https://motorguard.com/product/motor-guard-bgr161-bgr16-1-rigid-psa-sanding-block-2-5-8-x-16/ The guide coat is the paint It's two separate things I was talking about, there is no "block guide coat". 
    • Maybe more accurately, you aren't just dulling the existing paint, you are giving the new paint something to 'grab on to'. By sanding the existing paint, you're creating a bunch of pores for the new paint to hook on to.  You can lay new paint over existing paint without sanding it, might last a year or two then sad times. The paint will peal/flake off in huge chunks. By sanding it, the new paint is able to hang onto it and won't flake off.  Depends on the primer you are using. When you buy your paint, as the paint supplier what grit of sand paper to use before you lay down the primer.  Use whatever you like as a guide coat. Pick a colour that really stands out in contrast to the paint. So say your sanding/painting a currently white car, using a black guide coat would work well. You very lightly lay the black guide coat down, then as you sand the car with the large block, all the high spots and low spots will stand out as the black paint is sanded off (or isn't sanded off).  When you buy your paint, hit up your supplier for recommendations for what paint to use for a guide coat if you're unsure what would work well with your setup.
