Presenting PsyCo's Nebo/Glorious/Willowbank Cruise/Race Day/Night :P

27/2/10 Meet at around 1 for 1:30 depart.

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

Make sure you check the requirements on the link above (Helmet and clothes ect).

So let me know if you wanna come and i'll add your name to the list... :)

daryl, you gotta come to show these lil rolla boys what a "HMAS Aurion" can do... :lol:

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

      overheated engine

      I drive a 2010 series 200 sahara V8 automatic. I recently towed a small caravan on a not that hotter day. The temperature gauge went to about half then dropped back to normal. The motor then went into limp mode and eventually stopped. On lifting the bonnet i noticed the top radiator tank had split all the way across. I have only two months ago had the complete cooling system checked with no defects. I called the RAA in South Aust and they tried to start it but just turned over but did not fire up. It was still pretty hot. I have been told the motor would be ruined by overheating. The car has been sitting at the repairers for 5 days now and as far as i know it has not been attempted to start. Before putting a new motor in it would it be worth putting a new radiator in it and see if it will fire up? Open to any suggestions at this stage.

      1996 Trueno XZ - Is it worth modding?

      Depends on how common/rare they are in your part of the world. The XZ trim was the second-lowest so didn't come with most of the fun bits that the full-fruit BZG/V/R models did, so it's not anywhere near as desirable stock but sometimes you have to make do with what you can find, plus you shouldn't feel as guilty modding the heck out of it since most of it isn't special.

      VSC, Traction Control, Check Engine lights all on

      I attended Toyota Preston for Aurion ATX 2013 major service today. Cost $~$1300. On the way home I stopped to pick up dinner. Two fault lights: engine and VSC lights came on when I restarted the car. Car drove home just fine. I can only return the car tomorrow for them to sort out. Annoyed. Let’s see if they’re still on in the morning.

      1996 Trueno XZ - Is it worth modding?

      Hi everyone, new member to the group and owner driver of a nifty little Toyota Sprinter Trueno XZ, now this was my cousins car, I bought it off him and after various drives, I have come to the decision that this needs alot of love. Now I am wondering if its worth putting my time and money into doing this certain make n model up or should I just buy a different car to do up? I am not very car-inclined so I really don't know a lot. Any opinions would be very helpful Thankful!

      Android auto

      OK. Does any of Toyota's advertising material mention Android Auto? If so then kick up a stink, with Toyota management, about misrepresentation and false advertising, reminding them of the hefty fines. Herb
