Besides! A fast run means we have to find something to do for longer in the day. :P If we spend time actually taking it easy and be nice and smooth, we can take more time. Heh. (providing we get to where we need in time tho)

As DJKOR has stated. This has occured to me aswell after moving from 17" 215/55R17 to 18" 235/45R18's. The speedometer beforehand would read exactly 2km/h over when doing 100km/h by GPS. GPS = 100km/h Speedo = 102km/h Now it's like this. GPS = 100km/h Speedo = 108km/h That's a 6km/h jump. Pretty scary to be honest, but I dare not go near 108km/h JUST incase it's not as accurate as ive figured it to be. :P

I should be good for that date! :D

I should be alright for this providing my finances are up to scratch this time round. (Buying stuff for your Aurion is bad for your health, and bad for your wallet, true story!) Need to get my hands on a walkie-talkie of sorts this time, i hear it makes the trip more interesting. Pity I didn't have one on the big meet. :( Can't wait! :D (I know I haven't been very active here lately, work has been just really beating down on me and yeah, when ya get home and just go to bed. It's painful. :(

what happened to your boot? im experiencing the same thing too. i followed it up myself, and everytime i wash my car, soap and water would leak into the boot via the left tail light, and itll stay inside one of the pockets.. :/ Turns out it was to do with water coming in via a hole where a rubber grommit should have been. The grommit looks like it was moved or just fell out, its the same grommit used by the reverse sensor cabling. But its plugged up and works a treat now. can you take a pic and show me? im going to look at my boot. I was not shown the gromit so I am unsure where it's located, but i'll take a squiz and see roughly where it might be. Then take a photo for you.

Yeah I get that too, and also thought it was normal. Let us know how you go mate. Since the moonroof is not a sealed unit, the off-flow piping goes through that drivers side pillar. So its normal to hear water flowing through there. Mine is ok.

my car got its 60,000km service yesterday. it feels happier now haha. also my boot doesnt leak anymore! I can wash my car again! HOORAY!

Bring it to the westside? :P (out my way...) haha nah. Definately want photoshoot opertunities like last time though. I'd be interested to try figure out an ideal cruising path. I will scour through whereis later. :P I dont know how it went last time but by the sounds of it very well. Similar format I guess, but change a bit here and there.

Has there been any updates/talks between you guys in regards to the September meet? I hope something does come to fruition as I'm still gutted from missing this one haha.

What would make you think that? The part numbers for the springs and shocks are exactly the same for both the SX6 and the ZR6. I wouldn't imagine anything in-between to be any different. Front Shocks Right: 48510-09Q10 Left: 48520-09J60 Front Coils Right/Left: 48471-06020 Rear Shocks Right: 48530-09M30 Left: 48540-09770 Rear Coils Right/Left: 48231-06450 The parts are the same, but the setup is different. Toe/Caster/Camber etc is a bit different I've been told. But then again, Toyota could be wrong? :P

Also the suspension configuration is different between the SX6 and ZR6. But only slightly. Not sure in what way, i'd have to compare Daryl's car to mine to find out. :P

Absolutely loving the photos! Tash that camera is pretty awesome too! Also in regards to the September meet... Don't do it on the weekend of September 19th and 20th. PLEASE! :P (Yep, another LAN gaming event!)

I am really glad that the meet turned out so well! I was so gutted I couldn't make it but the LAN Gaming event was just too hectic! Definately September meet though! DEFINATELY! Loving that sig Tash, and why didnt you jump in the photo!? ;) Oh what a feelin!

Hey everyone. Due to the other event that was running alongside this meet today (Respawn LAN for those interested, LAN computer gaming event). It's 3AM and I have been running around doing all sorts of stuff which has really drained me in these past two days. (Started Friday, had hardly any sleep!) So just a heads up that I MAY not make the meet. I'm not saying I am not going to make it just yet but Tash if you see this before you leave in the morning. Don't ring me, I'll ring you... If you don't hear from me, just keep going to the car wash. (I might just come for the chat and atmosphere, photos would be a bit silly for me if the cars not washed haha.) I also kind of spend quite a bit of money this weekend so I'm rather broke. :( Anyhow just so you all are aware. I MAY still make it but not sure depending on how I feel after a decent sleep! Cheers!

Hey man, tash and I were talking off-forum about mini cruising from Sunbury (where I live), feel like me joining in on the mini cruise haha ;)

Yeah, I was thinking either C or E, leaning more towards E though haha. F, where I was, the road ends where it is under the Bolte, so I thought it was the furthest I could go. <_< I guess just make it the meeting point, and one of us on the day can quickly scout it out to see whether it's better. ;) By the way, Lee do you have one of those tripod stands?? Haha I think you can guess what I'm thinking.. I was thinking of asking my dad if he still has his old-school film SLR so I can use! Excited! Can't Wait!! I'm rather excited aswell! I will see if I can get my hands on some uber camera gear. I know my friend has those car mount camera thingos. I really wanted them on the cruise so we could get uber action shots but he was overseas at the time. :( I'll see if I can get tripods n stuff tho, but not sure yet.

Depending on what time you check out the Bolte area, you might spot a gold Aurion heading outbound on that bridge. ;) haha. It be me coming home from work!

Oh what! That's really crap. :( I was looking forward to you coming haha.

That's reletively easy to get to aswell from the Westgate Freeway (just turn off at Williamstown road and ya there). I say that's the best location for us to do "The wash!" can't wait! :)

An Aurion in the sense that the lights and grille bear a passing resemblence, and the badge says Toyota :P All the Aussie Racing cars are the same underneath justabout, and also a heck of a lot different than the real cars (like NASCAR), moreso than the V8 Supercars (at least they're the right sort of size, and the shell is relatively accurate) Yeah I know. :( Don't ruin my dream though haha.

Tasmanian Adam Gowans has won Round 4 of the Aussie Racing Cars Super Series at Eastern Creek today after a meeting-long battle with series rivals Kyle Clews and David Lawrence. And to top it off, it was done in an Aurion. woo! :) http://www.aussieracingcars.com.au/news_29.htm

Hmm that only makes me wonder, these didn't come with double sided adhesive :(

First up, a big thanks to AUR30N for supplying me with a set of eyelids for the Aurion, they arrived today! Now... here comes to nitty gritty! What did you guys use to fasten them down to the top of the headlights? I'm looking at you Daryl for answers! :) Also they seem not to fit very...easily either, and one side seems to fit better than the other. I am rather confuzzled haha.

I want to say one day... "I have the 2nd fastest Aurion on the road, next to Daryl's..." :P I reckon it wouldn't be far off to be honest! But yeah, nice car mate, really nice. :) drag strip mate, drag strip! come on lets see some times lol It won't be worth it if I were driving! Daryl is a stick compared to me! I'd need to remove weight to get to Daryl's car weight lol! Should go to a drag strip one day... Never been ;)
