could those coming please arrive with petrol and tyres checked ready to go as with so many cars it makes it hard for us to go to a petrol station in a group without wasting too much time and looking like trouble makers on a sunday morning.

Hi James

  Don't worry we will behave, anyways I will.

  Also people who know how to drive, drive 2WD, other have to resort to AWD/4WD  :D ..........joking

Cheers

Sport1vo

Hahaha, thats funny.. the AWD is fun to drive if you knows and understands how to push the limits of the AWD.

yeah, i had 2wd most of my time in 13 years of driving, so now just wanna try something different.. hehehe

Still AWD rules.. trust me mate, once you own a AWD, u never goes back.. B)

For Those who needs a CB radio and you dont know where to buy and which one to buy..

Here is some information for you guys:

http://www.timeplus.com.au (VIC) and http://www.prestigecom.net.au/

IF you dunno which one to get and if you have bugect:

Uniden Uniden UH044 (2 Watt) UHF CB $139.00

Icom IC40S Series 2 (5 watts) UHF CB $385.00

Try not to buy 0.5 watt or 1 watt CB radio as they arent very good for cruising up or in the mountains

you can also buy the CB radios at your local Dicksmith.

Cheers

Dear Guys,

Thanks to all who come down for the cruise..

It was really a Awesome cruise orgainise with Macus and the rest. You guys are awesome...

We have alot of fun driving up to lake mountain and came down to healsville for lunch and a passby told us someone from our group lock himself at lake mountain and need help to call RACV and contact us.

We had to drive all the way up there to save and in the end, we got him.. he really waited for us for 5 hours.. yeah geez...

On our way back to lake mountain, one of the girl driver who was in the black civic spur out at blackspur and hit her bumper, lucky it was just a small crack on the bumper.. I hope nothing is wrong to your car..

Anyway, end of the day, everyone was happy and we had alot of fun..

Thanks to everyone who is being so supportive and went back to lake mountain 2nd round..

Cheers all..

PS: BTW, Anyone has the photos ?

On the cruise I had to make a stop for the missus to take a toilet break. By the time we pulled back onto the road all the others had gone, so instead of trying to catch Peekay showed us some real drivers roads.

Guys (and I meen the Melbourne boys on this forum) we have to organise a day to go back.

Imagine a back road that goes for about 10km, no other traffic at all. Just paddocks on either side and you can see way off into the distance all directions. Now imagine the road is perfectly sealed with no noticeable imperfections, that sweeps through long corners and a few good sharp 90 degree bends. All this and the only road sign reads 100.

This was honestly the best drive I have ever had. The whole length of this road I kept the RX8 in 2nd or 3rd above 6500rpm. Peekay was in the back grinning from ear to ear, the rotary was absolutely singing and the wife was snoring :blink: !... Honest she was.

Even the roads back to Melbourne were good driving. For 3/4 of the distance they are long sweeping corners and short straights that just ooz driving fun. Both Peekay & myself drove the RX8 back along these roads and honestly finished in amazement at the cars handling. We have both driven a lot of top performance cars and have to say this car is right at the top of the table. Wow it was a great drive.

Cmon guys we have to go back. You will not be sorry. It honestly makes the drive to Arthurs Seat look like a boring drive up a straight freeway!

:D :D :D :D :D

      Rattle noise from Tailgate

      I just took it off and no noises at all, is it bad to leave it off I just have a subwoofer in the boot and nothing else

      P0303, rough idle, check VSC message.

      This thread is worth a reading and consideration of what needs to be removed either as a minimalist approach or the most beneficial. Recent post by ZZT86 is a great example of an unexpected bonus to reveal an improperly installed gasket during manufacturer assembly.

      P0303, rough idle, check VSC message.

      Hi Tony. I'm happy to wait. Aurion has just ticked over 172,500 and plugs aren't due until 180,000 so plenty of time.

      I'll be doing my plugs at some stage in the near future. You can count on a detailed DIY from me, if you're happy to wait.

      Rattle noise from Tailgate

      I feel your pain. I've had issues like that in the past and it drives me mental. I doubt you'll ever get it to sit flush and have zero clearance without gluing it on, which is impractical, but My solution would be to buy a roll of double sided tape, say 20 or 30mm wide and 1mm thick and cut out strips and stick the pieces either to the back of the plastic panel or to the metal tailgate. Leave the other side unpeeled and this will act as an insulator and stop the loose plastic interference slapping the metal. Also, while you have it off, check for any wiring loom in there that could also be a source of rubbing or slapping the inners. Apply the pieces to the majority area of the flat section. That's where you noise will be the greatest. Hope that helps. Let us know how you go.

      Rear Tail lights - LED or normal bulbs

      I'd hazard a guess and say yes. Depending on model I suspect. You may have to just dig into it anyway and learn more about it for your own knowledge. I saw a tail light for that model for sale on ebay and it looks to have a four pin plug. It could well be a connector for an LED array as it didn't appear to be a bulb socket either. Do you have the factory owners manual ? That could shed some light on it.

      Converting my corolla into a Sportivo

      My immediate thoughts were, "good luck finding original Sportivo parts". It seems you've done well to find the hard to get bits, especially the front lip. I'm assuming it's original. You didn't mention anything yet. Nice little project. Car looks great mate !

      ECU Error P1660. What is it?

      Yeah, I've been hovering for the last couple of years mainly due to being so busy with a shed project at my place. It took so long for a number of factors, but mainly because it was an owner builder D.A. project and undertaking the construction side by myself, it took a lot of time and all of my energy. I was always too tired to be able to sit at a desk and visit all my forums. I tried here and there, but it was too much. I'm on the downhill run now, not much left to do, and so I have been able to get back in touch. I am considering doing a write up of my shed saga and post it in the general section. So, mice in the engine bay ? Not good. They like to chew and pee on everything. Good you caught it now and be able to take some action.

      Rattle noise from Tailgate

      I have a 05 Zze and I have a issue where the tailgate plastic trim slaps against the body and rattles, any tips to make it sit flush like normal or to kill the noise, I have bought 3 new ones and have the same issue each time, 100000% sure it’s causing the issue as I put a couple spots of blutac as a softener and the noise is gone for but I want it to sit flush like it used to.
