Is anyone planning on heading down to the downshift meet at Fairfield show grounds this Sunday? I'm gunna cruise down and check it out and I wanted to see if anyone else will be down there

It starts at 3pm if you don't follow DS on Facebook and hopefully someone can link the actual event that DS has because I'm on my phone and I can't

I went yesterday, first ever car meet for me. Was awesome to see all the vehicles rolling in to the showground at first, but it soon turned into people down burn outs in and around the car park and onto the roads. There was a strong, positive correlation to those doing burn outs and p-plates, burn outs and stock (or close to) vehicles, and burn outs to civics/integras/pulsars. Hate to generalise, but these guys were the ones that caused the police to show in force.

$5 entry, venue was relatively large and convenient, but the 'meet' shouldn't be confused with a show - there were not many interesting cars to see. Comparisons were drawn to this meet and a Woolworths car-park. Some also suggested that, being in fairfield, the chances of getting the limiter-bashing, peg-legging civics and pulsars is slightly higher. Also, this whole 'open attitude any car enthusiast welcome' means it attracts many people who you wouldn't want to meet - I imagine because they're not welcome to most other clubs/cruises.

All in all, good to experience once, but I won't attend again. Looking forward to getting more involved in the skyline club

lol wat that ginger was going to steal some dudes wheel at a car meet ?

is this real life. aware me on story pls.

Dude arrived in a bashed up VS Commodore ute with a massive Roo bar with his bushpig girlfriend (sister? both?) in the tray. Then he sat on the window sill and started ghost riding it (inches from the expensive pride and joy pieces of metal of other car lovers). Was wearing a flanno, baggy jeans and rabens and ron weasley hairdo.

Then some dude, who i'm going to guess is from Cabramatta, parked next to him. Ranga apparently wanted to reserve the parking spot or something? So he pulled out a jack and tyre iron and got to work on the guys pretty sweet S2k, happily smiling for photos etc. Then a pretty large group started gathering around, because there was a confrontation. Guy in the honda drove off in a steam, and some of his mates were there and a few swings and kicks got in (nothing serious). Then i think the ranga drove off, and there's been like 600+ posts discussing this on the events facebook page.

Added a nice element of excitement, honestly.

    • Nah it factory manual not sure about ratio but it looks like there’s been some work at the rear 
    • so I need a new speedo cable 
    • Throwing my spoon to the soup here a bit.  When I installed a 044 back in 2012, along with the direct power mod, the car became very difficult to start. To a point I burned one starter motor as I was late for work and tried to get the thing going. With some tuning and careful use of gas pedal when cranking it became bearable. Trying to make this short as possible, but the 044 died after 2-3 years, after which I went with an AEM 320lph pump, which also died after about 4 years to my dismay. After that I went with a Nismo pump, and while trying diagnose an emissions problem, I noticed for the first time that my fuel pressure was 5bar/72psi on idle, and that removing the vacuum line did nothing. After monitoring the situation, and removing the direct power feed and going back to FPCM in attempts to remedy it, I noticed there was fuel in the pressure regulator vac line. Kept the FPCM, installed AEM external regu and the car became sooo much better in every way, including starting. And I had driven it like it was for 11 years.. Anyway, I agree these are likely two different problems, and the FP problem you just haven't noticed before. I do not know much about haltecs, but what first came to mind was the CAS, which probably is not there any more. So how is the wiring from haltec to gauge cluster? How is the battery voltage and alternator?
    • Your car was auto before? You have different diff ratio (auto vs manual i think? or n/a and turbo?)
    • +1 for getting a screen off alibaba, CarPlay/Android Auto is vastly better than whatever navigation cars had 10 years ago. I got an Android screen for my 2015 BMW, huge difference. Fully compatible with factory stuff including iDrive controls.
