[glamachickybabe]

[95CelicaSX]

what needs doing to it?

- radiator flush ( i might need a new one because its rusted and looses fluid)

- new fuel filter

- clutch adjustment and check

- brake pads need checking properly

- small oil leak behind rocker cover and possibly manual trans ( I cant tell exactly where its coming from)

- check valves and hoses

- clutch fluid bleed and change

- Check gearbox (supercharger whine comes when in 2nd gear)

- check all other components because I don't know service history ( bought it 4 weeks ago)

What i have done so far:

- Engine oil

- Oil filter

- Air filter

- Spark plugs

- Spark leads

- Injector clean

- wheel alignment and balance and rotate

- battery

Count me in, sounds like a good day.

[Whitey1212]

Count me in! :D Should be a great day! Just need to get work off.... But that shouldn't be a problem.

//Edit//

Book me in!

//Edit #2//

If I can suggest a slight route modifcation:

http://bit.ly/rx61E

Tourist Road from the top of Mac Pass, near Robertson to Bowral/Mittagong. It's a great road winds through the country a little bit. I totally recommend it.

[thunderbox]

i will be there, however due in at Conjola at around 12... so as soon as you get to Conjola i will head down the prices highway. and i will try and get the on time :)

[¥uri]

I'm a maybe for now ... just found out recently that assessments/exams are due the last week of Sept. and particularly on the 26th as well

hopefully some one can organise another meet, for those who cannot attend on the day prior to this event :)

[cuppas]

so there might be a bunch of non-toyotas rockin up to this

just putting it out there

really.....last time I checked this was a Toyota cruise? I dont remember (correct me if i'm wrong) that we as a TOCAU group tagged along to a non-Toyota cruise, unless we go invited by the organisers. To my knowledge, I haven't invited any other toyota or non toyota groups. There maybe an evo and cappuccino showing up, but that was by my invite only. I suggest who invited them to tell them nicely (because the use of hammers and nail guns only makes things dirty) and kindly to go there own way and forget about tagging along with us.

There is a very good reason why we keep it TOCAU / toyota drivers only. To date, we as a TOCAU group in Sydney haven't had ANY problem with the law, so there is no need to start now. The TOCAU club has a good name to it, I don't want to see that get F***ED by some try hards who want to show off. I'm not one to stop people having a good time, I just want to make that we don't ***** other people off in the process. I think that is a fair request.

Anyone who has a problem with this should consider there options before they show up :)

[cuppas]

righto

[httttt]

BG Pete, I appreciate the effort you and others put into organising this and I somewhat agree with you except for the part where it is okay for a non-toyota car to come if they are invited by you. I might have my facts wrong and please correct me if they are but that seems a bit unfair.

Either way I am looking forward to enjoying the day and seeing some Toyotas hopefully with no try hards thinking its a race and that they have something to prove.

[69.NIX]

I understand the concern that some may have, but let my explain:

the evo is a former TOCAU member now gone to the dark side. he joined us on the wisemans cruise and the cappuccino is a TOCAU member who has a ZZE as his daily. The only reason (to my knowledge) that he might bring the cappa is that he is going OS for 5 weeks and wants to give it a run befoer he goes.

If you want to invite others, i have no problems, just let one of the mods / organisers know. This goes for all Sydney TOCAU events, not just this one :)

[httttt]

Thanks for clearing that up BG. I figured they were previous members.

Cheers

Actually going away for 3 1/2 weeks :P But yes this will actually be the very first day cruise were I have not taking my Corolla....(some people have seen the cappa on some night meets) Plus I may not even have my Corolla as it goes in for repair tomorrow since a few months back someone thought there front end would look nice with my rear

Should be a good day cant wait! Topless driving here I come!
