MAP with directions

Departing Garden City heading northwest to mount nebo & glorious then coming back around wivenhoe dam and landing at

willowbank raceway.

EDIT: Added a northside meet at Macca's The Gap on waterworks rd. Meet 2pm for 2:15 depart. If southside crew is running on time we should be there around 2:05pm.

Approximately 143k 2hrs 15 mins which should entail around 100ks of twisty fun.

I'm not sure if there's somewhere up top of glorious we could stop for a feed so will look into that shortly.

Willowbank Test n Tunes are awesome fun.

$40 to race for the night and includes car/driver & 1 passenger.

Willowbank Test n Tune

Damn... you know I can't say no to something like this. Luckily I'm due to head to Melbourne that following Monday, so I will be able to make it. This is going to be the last straw for my current set of tires I'd say.

So let them know the HMAS Aurion will be there :lol:

Hmmm, I guess I will be doing the 1/4 mile in street trim. When I do Nebo runs, I always have my sub in the boot. I'm used to the way it handles overall like that. So therefore I guess that will have to sit there for the drags as well.

I think I'm starting to get soft with wanting to do hard Nebo runs now. It's not that I'm bored of it... it just scares me more for some reason.

Speaking of soft, the strangest thing happened from the moment I left Willowbank on Saturday. I haven't really had the urge to purposely redline my car since. It's like my driving has tamed down a bit from just that one event.

As for the drags, I am going to be so p***ed off if I don't get at least a 14.131 again.

We should try the anti squat devices and see how that affects our times :D

Yeah. I didn't get the chance to do that last time. Maybe this time would be good to try.

I got a 14.24 last time as the sun set and it was still rather warm then. As well, trap speed was still high showing that power wasn't really affected by the temperature difference.

I have come to realise that launching off the line perfectly is the key to getting a good time. If I can manage this well, I reckon it wouldn't matter if it is summer or winter when it comes to beating my time.

hey everyone.. my name's gio and i bought a corolla seca a couple months ago. Since i bought it iv been doing small mods to it (nothing on the engine yet). After i joined this forum iv found a real interest in the car and all corolla's for that matter. I'd love to come with you all for a cruise if it is for corolla's? Is it open to anyone and is it open to corolla's or just aurion's? iv never been to a meet before, but i'm keen on coming to this for a cruise and to meet some new people who also have corolla's out there. Cheers, Gio

You are more than welcome to come along, it doesnt matter what model Toyota you have or even if you had another brand.

With a cruise like this just make sure you fill up with petrol before you get to the meeting point. Also a CB radio can be handy.

yeah, as Supa said... everyone is welcome...

but just drive to your own limits... its not a race for all of us and if you follow the directions, you shouldnt get lost between stopping points...

i cant stress enough that everyone needs to drive to their own limits... do not feel pressured to keep up with everyone... if you wanna go 30km/h, so be it... :)

Haha I'd love to, but the Yaris isn't raceworthy :( Tyres are beyond needing replacement :o I doubt I'd make it up Nebo without hitting a tree :P

      What can cause 2x bolts Missing on break calipers?

      In my humble experience with our car and Toyota - the majority we came across travelling around Australia towing a van is they are uncaring, irresponsible and possibly dangerous. One of them forgot to tighten the front wheel. Imagine the disaster if the wheel had decided to part company at 90kph towing a 3t caravan.

      Towing with landcruiser 300 series

      Good practice to tow in 4th. Lots of information on the now defunct LCCOL forum but everyone was in agreement about towing in 4th. I have done this towing a 3.5t rated van. Fuel consumption is so similar it is not an issue. It is more about getting the engine spinning. New diesel like to spin as opposed to chug along like the old style ones. Proof for me was when I had the ECU remapped and installed a lockup kit. Whilst the car was happy to hold 5th and 6th - extra power and locked - the EGTs were telling a different story. Towing in 4ht at a GPS 90 - 95 kph turned out to be the best combination for forward progress and fuel consumption.

      Remote batteries going flat very quickly

      There was a post on the now defunct LCOOL forum whereby you could put your remote in a 'sleep' state and save the battery. It seems the remote is constantly looking for a signal which in turn drains the battery.

      Major Oil Leak

      tragedy has struck 😔... my 07 SX6 suffered a major oil leak this morning. Got a low oil pressure alert, pulled over. dip stick was bone dry with small amounts of metal flakes on the end. i'm assuming the leak is caused by either the oil cooler lines or the vvti rubber line deterioration. Car has been towed to my house. Whats the best course of action now? fix the leak and do a few oil flushes? or do i need a whole new motor?

      ST-162 front door-glass seal availability

      Hi all, my wife has a 1988 ST-162 Celica which I have been lovingly caring for since we met 25 years ago. It is in VGC, but of late the wind noise at freeway speeds has become much louder, and with the current wet weather the front doors are leaking rain through the 'seal' point between the window glass and the door seals. The doors are hanging in the proper position and the windows do not seem to be unduly loose in their carriers. I am trying to find a new set of door seals to try to fix the problem, but have had no success anywhere. Any ideas or suggestions would be most appreciated! My mobile is 0427 478874, or reply here!

      Took the dust cover off, heart skipped a beat

      Not sure how many of the old guard are still around… fluids drained, fuel tank cleaned and lines purged, might be time to throw it into gear again.
