HI ALL!

We have decided to make the May Monthly meet/cruise for us Victorians on MAY 16th SUNDAY at the Dandenong Ranges. This is not a quick paced mountain run, but rather a cruisy drive so dont be disappointed if you cant go zipping through it. A chance for us to meet up and check each others rides and enjoy each others company.

Things you will need:

- Yourself and your car (Preferably a toyota.. and a zre) jks :P

- Warm clothes (because its a bit cold up there)

- Petrol (If you want to make it there and back home)

- Some cash (For food, 5bux entry to Skyhigh, more petrol)

- CB Radios and mobile phones (So we can keep in contact!) CB's would be nice

- A mature driving attitude (So we dont have any problems that day) i know, im a hypocrite. lol

- A camera if you want for photo opportunities

It can be a fair drive that day for a few of us so check your fluids, oil, tyre pressure *ahem tomee* and if your car or yourself is not capable of anything, dont risk it. Theres bound to be a few of us watching out for stragglers and waiting for everyone. Its gonna be a tough challenge.. but we'll manage.

For all you westsiders, a few of us will meet for a carwash beforehand at VicRoads carpark, Sunshine Plaza at 9.20am sharp! Should be enough time to get ur ride sparkling.

We'll then go for a carwash and leave at 10.30am to head up there. You can meet here and we'll go together and or you could make ur own way there and we'll meet at the bottom of the mountain.

So far details are:

We decided that the start position should be at the bottom of the mountain, Burwood Hwy entrance. Going onto Mount Dandenong Tourist Road from Burwood Hwy, there is an entrance to a carpark immediately on the left. We can meet there.

Due to roadworks our initial meet point has now changed;

Ferntree Gully Hotel, 1132 Burwood Hwy, Ferntree Gully VIC Australia 11-11.30am

We'll just park here and wait for everyone to meet up.

Departing at 12pm midday, we'll start the cruise and make our way up the mountain.

Drive to SkyHigh and eat, chat, pics etc (26 Observatory Road , Mount Dandenong)

12.30-1pm

We'll be at Skyhigh for lunch and photo ops, catching up and general hoo hah. After that we can either head to the secluded BBQ spot to kick back or have a run down the mountain itself. Find a few spots to stop over take pics and chat.

If anything and we cant fit everyone there for a meal then we'll head to either Pie in the sky or Ivy Restaurant to have lunch or if people want to shoot off and get something then thats fine.

For those who want a bit of a spirited drive we'll go for a drive afterwards from Yarra Glen to Kinglake and then end the day after that. Hope everyones cool with that.. if your not then you can organise the next meet. :P

Hope to see everyone there!

HI ALL!

I thought i might put my hand up for this months' montly meet for Victorian TOCA members.

I was thinking something along the line of a cruise to the dandenong mountains. We could pre-arrange meeting spots and drive up there together or anyone could just come along whenever. This is still very raw and in the early stages of planning so feel free to add input or ideas/suggestions.

I was thinking of doing it on a sunday and making a day thing cause this month is a busy one for me. :P

We could meetup for carwashes and head up there, have a (responsible) mountain run if we want, check out the scenery, stop by somewhere for a nice meal by lunchtime and head home after that. Plus throw in a few stops here and there for a chat, catchup and photo opportunities of course!

I think we've all changed our rides a fair bit since our last meets, it'll be nice to catch up and see how everyone is going. hopefully we can get some new faces out too.

In saying this though, i dont know how the weather will be on us this month so hopefully if it goes ahead.. we have a nice day with sunshine and no rain.

The date hasnt been announced yet.. so we'll see how this goes and we'll go from there.

Putting up your hand aye? Haha nah sounds good man! But I'm not sure if I'll be able to make it this month (see how busy it gets).

I can always help you out with scoping things out/routes etc, been to Mt. Dandenong several times.

Maybe it's better to make it last Sunday of the month, gives time for organising & people the chance to get themselves free. ;)

Hey guys that all sounds fantastic to me - my wingwoman aka camerawoman aka Barb is keen to come along again too :D Dandenong's run sounds great, you must have read my mind because Nathan and I were thinking of checking out the Mt Macedon area as well one weekend soon to see if it's suitable.

One suggestion though, the last Sunday of this month is probably no good because it'll be Anzac Day, might have to be the end of next month or maybe the first Sunday in May which is the 2nd. Just think you will struggle for numbers on Anzac Day.

Anyhoo, all looks great so hopefully with a combined effort we can get something regular happening :)

Looks like there's a few people interested in this!

Maybe it's easier to decide on a date if you state which days you guys are free. :)

Ok. Just copy and paste, and then add your name to date you're free. Makes it easier for Johnnie to decide the date! :P

      1999 Camry Driver's door locking hatch issue

      It's possible that it could be something fouling or dirt build up, dry, or a broken mechanism, so have a look and give the mechanism some lubrication, most likely though, it'll be the actuator. I found one for a good price on Ebay, $25 delivered: Front Door Lock Actuator Right Side For Toyota Camry 1997-2001 | eBay

      Query about the correct rotors for 2006 ACV40 Camry.

      Hi, I'm looking at a set of front rotors for an ACV40 2006, 2.4L Camry. I got a good price on some RDA's at Sparesbox. However both RDA8112 and RDA7686 show as for my car and I'm wondering what the difference is and if there were changes to the rotors during the model production. So does anyone know which rotor is the correct one? Many thanks in advance.

      It's a simple solution though? Already laying down 60k for a RAV4, so what's another 1k on a phone to make everything work seamlessly? 👍

      Your solution is akin to suggesting that switching to a different car manufacturer would resolve the issue. However, not everyone shares the same enthusiasm for using an iPhone as you do.

      Turboed Corolla Overbuilt?

      that engine will be fine, the rods are the main thing to be concerned about. The 2860 is a decent turbo for the 1zz but in this day and age I'd go for a G25-550. The injectors might be on the small side, we run DW1000's. You need a full length injector, the shorter injectors with adaptors like ID1050x dont fit the 1zz head. You don't need an aftermarket intake manifold, if you do go down that path, avoid the CNC innovations unit, it's garbage. Do the boost control with a MAC valve and control it with the aftermarket ECU of your choice, I use Link stuff on most of my builds with the G4x Storm as the minimum. I also wire a fuel pressure sensor and oil pressure sensor to the ECU in my installs. Use a decent intercooler, the better cores (ARE, PWR, Garrett, Vibrant, Plazmaman, Hypertune) work a lot better than the chinese stuff like Aeroflow. a 450x250-300 fits fairly well with custom end tanks to route the cooler pipes through next to the radiator Don't forget about the clutch and gearbox. These days I like the Uniclutch twinplate, Above 300whp you'll want to think about upgrading the 3rd and 4th gears in the box also with the SSC (Hollinger) gear set and install an LSD of your choice. If you're going to give it a hard time, you'll also want an oil cooler. I like the HKS thermostat type sandwich plates and setrab or mocal oil coolers with -10 speedflow fittings/lines (Chinese AN fittings neck down to a lot smaller internal diameter in their bends, not great for flow) You'll also want to think about brakes, Celica or Sportivo front calipers will bolt on with sportivo discs as a starting point. To have somewhere like Tunehouse do the work you'll want to budget somewhere between 20-40K

      Camry Touring 2010 Fuel consumption 15.2L/100km. Normal?

      I did the mathematics myself regarding costs vs benefits for fuel injector cleaner. I have changed from 91ULP to 95PULP and 98PULP. Price difference can be about 13 -20 cents. Compared to 91ULP, Premium quality fuel should have a better quality additive package designed to have superior engine cleaning capabilities so the engine can perform at their best.
