MEET: 8AM
LEAVE: 9AM
DISTANCE: approx 460km

yeah ill be checking all the servo's out when i go for the test run, what about the caltex 98RON fuel? or striclty BP ulitmate?
RICEY
06-07-2010, 04:49 PM
Ive tried all the other 98rons, all ping city for some reason....
Bradoo
06-07-2010, 04:52 PM
ugh nice, alright ill check out the BPs then... anything anyone else wants me to check out while im doin the pre-runs?
Ive tried all the other 98rons, all ping city for some reason....
Don't quote me on this me but i got told by a guy who owns and chain of independant servos and it seems reasonable was that bp 98 is minimum 98 rating where others are average 98 so occasionally you might get 97-96 rated fuel...and ping city.

23-07-2010, 02:26 PM
My FD will hopefully be back from its build by then. I need to run her in 1000k's before it gets tuned for power so this will do nicely :P
No runs for me, please dont try as my right foot has little if not no will power. Staying away from gate is torture.

Nice cruise. Feel like extending it a little more, by say an extra 1200k? Drive up with me to Port Hedland hahah. No 98 fuel up there, nor traffic lights. Closest traffic lights and 98 fuel is Karratha.

Mint Map good group of guys. Good to see you guys aint shy lol. 32 GTR peeling out at about 80 trying to overtake was the best highlight of the day!!
Charger
08-08-2010, 06:42 PM
Had a great cruise today guys, rode shotgun with Dave in his blue 32 GTR.
What a massive map! But nice roads and decent amount of stops, was great meeting some new faces and cruising with cars I've never seen before.
Bugger to all the guys cars that went bang... I know your pain!
That Fairlane running on 3 cylinders smashing it onto Great Southern Highway was definitely the highlight for me.... not really.... the flaunting of a 2WD GTR was definitely highlight #1
Shame Channel 7 didn't make an appearance...
Looking forward to the next one
Cheers
