Adz and scotsman, you better be in its only about 5 mins from your location's i believe. I should be there, prolly working during the day, but i should be able to get it off. Was up the dandies last night with friends, had a whole lotta fun espically when you run out of brakes on the last two corners just before the lights at the bottom of the hill.

Ps. andrew if you need any help figuring out the way up and down of the hill let me know, i'm up it quite a bit so i know my way around the dandie tourist road.

Ps. andrew if you need any help figuring out the way up and down of the hill let me know, i'm up it quite a bit so i know my way around the dandie tourist road.

should meet up and discuss ideas, i work up in MtD, actually im about to head up there right now, so i knows the roads pretty well...

Brad / Jarrod - I'm fully open to suggestions for this cruise! It was really just a simple plan I had anyways as the area isn't massive.

I was thinking we should try and meet at the base in FGully. And get up the top at 5ish as it will just be getting towards sunset and should look pretty cool. Then head down to Monbulk via the Olinda - Monbulk Rd as that road rocks, then make the way back to FGully. But as I said any other idea's are more than welcome.

But remember - twighlight at the end of June and possibly a decent number of cars so about as bad conditions as you can get so I want to keep things simple and safe for everyone. Its more of a meet-up than a typical SAU cruise this one.

Also - it seems a few people are keen for a social drink too. Any suggestions? In town somewhere or say chapel st? Be good to either go somewhere that will get better as the night goes on but is still fun to start - or somewhere thats close to the action for later.

Yeah, agreed, i just had to drive up there and back and well... its damn foggy, wet and the roads are covered in crud.

I basically take the route you described almost every 2nd day, the other option is the moutain hwy and back thru olinda-monbulk rd.

could be some good photo ops at skyhigh thou?

*glance at ns2500*

but as you said pretty bad conditions atm

If the weather is sh!t im not going on the cruise. Definitely up for a social meet though... so I can meet the rest of you monkeys :D

Any ideas where to go? I vote for Crown coz it's close to home for me :(

:.

Has the venue for the social meet up been decided yet?

I'm always down to go somewhere that serves good food... I suggest we head to the Crown Pub!

Good priced meals, full licensed bar.. not to mention the occasional stunning chicks wandering around :rofl:

Oh Did I mention I live 5 mins from Crown? :( haha

    • 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
