Tofuboi

Hehehe... And Nathan, man you do some crazy **** :P But it was pretty epic to watch!!

Let us never speak of the black 2 door levin again.

I slapped myself on the wrist for that, especially after what happened in the morning. :( But temptation got the better of me. (Mostly because he rode up my backside for about 10 seconds before booting past me.)

Oh well... Let us not do that again. :)

Awesome pics too! :D Need to see Lee's pics tho. They in another thread?

The random black 2 door levin on the way back home?

he was an idiot, i saw tofuboi ran after him though :) go the aurion stivo :D

Kept with him too, was pretty quick. Got too hairy for me though. Especially after remembering I did receive a ticket for doing the same thing earlier that day haha. :P

Let us never speak of this again. :P

Dandenong cruise today.

Spotted x5 pre-facelift sportivos, 1 facelift sportivo, x3 zres x1 lvl 4 x2 lvl 2, x2 gold camry sportivos, an aurion + big phat black weels, a WRXtivo?, gold corolla sportivo, x3 AE corollas, a facelift zre, a rolla with a tank buster cannon exhaust and a white camry with rim swallowing dumped'ness.

Did i miss anyone? lol

You called me a Camry! One Gold Camry Sportivo and One Gold Aurion Sportivo :P

:(.......got half way to meet point and ofcourse the car chose today as the day in which the alternator would pretty much pack right up and leave me on the side of the road in warrandyte :(...missus jumpstarted me and headed home, still got a decent cruise in between doreen and warrandyte..

:( I was looking forward to showing you something haha. Remember when you and I had that blast through the twisty roads toward Warburton last cruise and that no one got any pics or footage of it?

Well as I explained to the other people at the cruise today, a friend of mine is a anime/cartoon artist by hobby and I worked with him for a few months off and on since the last cruise getting a small thing put together to remind everyone how awesome that road was, and for those who weren't there to witness it. :P

So yeah, that's it haha. It was just something silly I wanted to do because no one got any photos. So I practically had my own made up. :D Heh.

----

The cruise today was epic too! Not much of a cruise route in comparison to the other times but still. It was a great social meetup. :)

i know when i wash my car in the morning, by the time it arrives at the meeting place it will be caked in dust <_<

You too eh?

I'm tempted to just do a basic wash, nothing fancy. Coz I know it's just gonna be dirty by the time I get there. haha.

Grr.. stupid Citylink weekend pass doesn't cover Eastlink. Now to find another way from East Bentleigh to our meet point...

Or you could just give me $10-15 and ill add you to my Citylink account which covers Eastlink. :P

I'm sure that's possible.

We can figure something out.

Definite dedication! If it wasn't so far out of the way I probably would have come and met you, but I'll hit up a carwash near Airport West late Saturday afternoon then hope that it doesn't rain lol

I'll have to do that myself actually. Question is, do I go to Sunbury. Or do I hang around Airport West and just 'happen' to see you there ;P

Put me down for the cruise.

So long as it's not on the 4th or 11th :P

id say lower it, and learn how to take driveways at angles

Driving into driveways at angles only works if the driveway in question is accessible via such an angle as it would work. But Tash's driveway is neigh on impossible to access from an angle.

Damnnn... our meet point compromised? I got no clue? i guess Ferntree Gully hotel isnt bad. lots of carparks there. hrmmm... damn!!

I just want to be able to put a location in my GPS and follow its instructions. The Ferntree Gully Hotel I can get the address for, so thats fine with me. :P

Alright, you confused me with now adding get the rear one and not the front, lol. On my original post I think I got confused with handling and body roll.

My main aim is to improve handling around corners, and from reading through this thread, the front strut bar will help turn ins, correct?

If that is the case, the rear one for body roll can wait as I would like to improve handling.

Is there any side effects to it? Would I be putting any strain on suspension etc for putting an after market piece?

I figured it was best to go all out and get the two bits (I also got the lower bar but we wont go into that, let's just say unless the cars on a track 24/7, no use and if you want to lower your car, forget it.)

The front upper bar should help with turning into the corner. So that initially turn point when usually the front wheel (opposite to the direction you're turning) will drop right down (depending on the suspension setup as is), The front bar is to 'help' prevent that. It wont prevent it 100%, that's what a decent set of coilovers added with this are for. Then the rear bar is to assist with consistant turning, so after that initial turn-in to keep the car stable throughout the corner.

Also in regards to damaging or putting extra wear on the suspension components. I cannot see why it would put 'additional' strain on the suspension components of the vehicle.

You just want to sit in front of my car which will be equipped with a GoPro Motorsports HERO HD Camera. :P

gopro motor.... what!? i'll just stick with my cheap 20 dollar suction mount, good enough for track and good enough for cruise use

Here :P

Oh no, that's no good :( But great that you can still come and say g'day beforehand cos I need to grab that wax kit off you hahahahah!

Sounds like there'll be plenty of cameras at this meet which is always awesome :D Some spirited driving towards the end will be good also, although I'll hang out toward the back and take it easy this time, take in more of the scenery hahah

nice and cool to help with our CAI's, SRI's and turbos. ;P heheheh

This morning I happened to spot this car on the Westgate Bridge. I lol'd. :D

Was driving on the westgate bridge this morning and I spotted the famous gold aurion with plates "WRXKLA"

Needless to say, I lol'd... Hard.

Okay I may own a gold sportivo zr6, but NO. it's not me

Well your plates are blacked out, so u will do :P

haha ok fair enough whatever :P

Okay I may own a gold sportivo zr6, but NO. it's not me :P

Nathan (Tofuboi) had fitted one. I can't remember if he still has it on or not.

Personally, I believe it is a waste of money unless your car is always at the track. It won't provide as much gain during day to day driving as a rear or front sway bar would provide. I wouldn't be surprised if after fitting it, you couldn't tell the difference. On top of that, this 4 point brace sits low. Be prepared to scrape it on things.

If I were you. I would not fit the front lower. Especially if it's a Sportivo or higher, or has been lowered at some point.

Wanna know why?

The lowest point on the car is about 4-6 inches from the ground if you fit it. Not even that! I had it scraping when entering driveways, I had a rock hit it doing 100km/h and completely ruined it. Much carnage from it.

After I took it off it was warped, scratched to buggery and much more.

While it DID improve the stability of the vehicle during cornering. The cons definately outweighed the pros, by a long mile. As Daryl (DJKOR) said, if the car's staying 100% on the track, that's fine. If not, don't go for it.

I know it's wrong the bring up a very old cruise thread again. But I just want to let you guys know who attended that there was a section of the drive where jaderd and myself did some very spirited driving near warburton where you guys couldn't quite see. (We went ahead).

Anywho, I've had my friend who is a very excellent artist do some work over the past month or two with myself and I am pleased to tell you that something is coming. :P

So stay tuned. I hope at least jaderd will like it haha. It was a pretty hard drive and yeah, I wanted to preserve the memory because no one was there to photo it haha. :P

Well pointed out tash. Thanks! Yeah we're only talking about recon run guys.. keep checking 1st post for updates!

All these stivos coming out.. gunna be lift like crazy.. i rather ride with kenshinx then get left behind. LOL

It's okay, Lee and myself from the 'Boat Brigade' will keep you guys on ya toes. ;P (200 killer wasps!)

i want a sportivo girl.. she can hit lift with me anyday :P

LOL!!!

Too right. :P

I had a red ZZE complement my car at 4:30am this morning when I was going to work. But I doubt it's anyone from here. :(

Just for the fun of it, someone took my photo:

I just obtained my new wallpaper for my desktop. Pity it's not a higher res haha. :P

We have 20!!!

btw, i'm uploading the 11 min video, youtube can only show 10 minutes if it, its still uploading though, does it just cut out the last min or does it error? cuz if it does then i'll be wasting 250 megs!!! argh!

YouTube MAY give you the benefit of the doubt and let you have 11 minutes of footage. It's a bit hit-and-miss though as to wether it will successfully process or not.

It does upload first though.
