Things have been very quiet on the SAU cruise front recently for a few reasons.

a) The weather has been crap and hence isnt much fun for long cruises

B) Neither me or Ash have had functioning cars to do any scouting.

And the good news is that neither of those 2 issues have improved! :looney:

But instead of spending these cold winter months being anti-social bastards we have thought of a 2 part social event.

Firstly - we start off with a short but fun twilight cruise through the dandenongs. Say a meet-up/cruise time between 4pm - 6pm.

Then go home, dump the cars, freshen up and meet up again somewhere for a few drinks (and then a few more) about 9-10pm somewhere in town.

People would be more than welcome to come to either one or both of these meets. We are suggesting a date for this currently for Sat June 26th.

Would anyone be keen to do one and/or both of these events?

:D

well I still dont have the parts yet. and I dont know when I will have them so it might be the scooby - but I hope not.

anyways... gearboxes are the same... kinda. Different input shafts. Have most of the parts in Oz but need some slide sleaves from Toyota in Japan and thats being painfull. Apparently it will work - but time will tell when all the bits arrive.

    • I'd be looking at the mentioned EFR kit, room to turn it up if decide on e85 (which we know you will) and be super responsive and fun on the street. OR https://v8roadsters.com/product-category/engine-conversions/engine-conversion-lsx/engine-conversion-lsx-nc/?srsltid=AfmBOorrJa2S76JR5ekXprxBOtU44a1UProbe64YaiVi9zTVp1Lj814w And add whooshy noise for extra fun C5 corvette prices are coming down locally here and a mate has a manual one and is a heap of fun on the street and track.
    • I have an Elite 2500, honestly most of this has been a lot of smaller tasks chasing little details and a whole lot of life getting in the way of bigger projects. I don't mind too much looking at a spectrograph vs having audio knock ears. 
    • Nah nah nah nah. Don't do it. It's not all about the full throttle power delivery. The main "street fun" and drivability gains from smaller rear (in this case) is how you will have boost available from a low rpm when yo just roll onto the throttle. Think jinking in and out of traffic, coming out of roundabouts, etc etc, where you just want to roll onto the throttle a little and have the spooly noise from ~2000rpm and a swell of torque. More of what you've already achieved by going to 2.5. And then, towards the tail end of 2025 you can pull the turbo 4 out and put in a V8 like we originally suggested. :P
    • Cheers for the info mate, I'm old too, 60 years old next May, so a more linear delivery of the 0.86 would be better as baking tyres and snapping heads isn't on the cards for me or the car I assume a more linear power delivery would be better for engine and drivetrain reliability as well, IRT the torque load at lower RPM???, as well as lower EGT's???, if my understanding of that is correct, have I got that right??? I've only got a really basic understanding of turbo sizing and all there characteristics  Cheers for the useful information
