Thanks to Dave for coming along, i hope you had a good time. It's taken me a while to get back online as the next morning i was admitted to hospital with kidney stones and spent all last week in Nepean Hospital going round the twist!!!

You'll find most cars on the road have guages like that. The gauge goes down to half fairly slowly, drops to empty much quicker than the first half and then sits on empty even with 10 litres of fuel left in it. When i first got my lanecr the fuel light would come on when i had 22 litres of fuel left in the tank. Over time the empty light became more and more acurate untill it seemed to settle at 8-9 lites in the tank being the time to warn me.

Don't worry mate. I try to organise a cruise every couple of months, so if you can't make it to this one (though u should really try to), hopefully you can make it along to the next one. We've got a great group of Sydney cruise regulars and i'd really love to see some of the Sportivo guys join us to fly the flag for the current model rollas.

I just rang the RTA and the Bells Line of Road is definately open and ready for cruising on Saturday the 24th of April. Hope to see you all there :) BTW we are now meeting at 9-9:30am for a 10am departure.

Cool, it should be a top day. Captain Upsidedown and others from toymods and twincam forums will be coming along, we've even got one bloke coming down from Queensland :D

Please set this date aside for a bit of cruising action. Meeting at Windsor, heading up the very twisty and very scenic Bells Line of Road to Bell then south along the Darling Causeway to Mt Victoria and out to Mt York. From Mt York, we'll head down the Great Western Highway to Blackheath and then down thru some fine twisties into the Megalong Valley where we can have a BBQ lunch. After lunch we'll head out of the valley and then down the mountains via the GWH, detouring along cliff drive thru Leura & Katoomba. Should be a fine day and i hope to see you there Event date: Saturday, 24th of April Meeting spot: Hungry Jacks on Windsor Rd, McGraths Hill Depature time: Meet between 9-9:30am for a 10:00am departure. Cruise destination: Bells line of Road, Mt York, Megalong Valley & the upper Blue Mountains Please bring food & utensils for a BBQ, a jumper as the mtns are a bit cooler than Sydney, UHF radios and a full tank of fuel. Optimax available on Windsor Rd 1-2km back towards Parramatta, Synergy 8000 also available nearby. ALL WELCOME For further details PM me or e-mail to singlecam@4age.net

I take it you've got the cash ready and waiting for your new clutch then The 2ZZ motors sound like awesome fun up top, i'd love to put one in an AE82 and see how they'd fare against a 20v.

So at 120 in 6th the 2ZZ is reving at 4,000rpm?

The sportivo's ECU cannot record speeds are revs. Many large commercial trucks are fitted with tachographs and the like to prevent drivers from trashing them, but i'm unaware of any passenger vehicles(in AUS anyhow) having such a device fitted.

Dude, no way a "stivo" is gunna stay that close to a wrx or an evo. They either weren't racing, were toying with you or were complete retards who couldn't drive

Hybrid cars are the way of the future, they rock!!! My next a-b daily driver is going to be a hybrid :)

I wouldn't mind having a run against you too Greyw.... , i means GZE_Bandit :) Found my tyre pressures way down tonight at 30psi front, 28psi rear. Pumped them up to 36 front, 35 rear and the car goes so much faster. The gears pulled so much harder and it revved up towards the redline much quicker and freely. It's nights like 2nite that remind me why i love my car :D

Yeah, i've been a Liverpool fan since i was a little kid. I went to Anfield in December 2001 to watch them play Ar5enal, but unfortunately they lost 2-1 :( Edit - This language filter/blocker is so stupid. I can't even type the name a freaking football club

Unifilter RAM PODS are good and work well , but if you're going to get one for your 2ZZ or any other engine for that matter, be sure to get it heat shielded or you will lose power instead of gaining it.

Thanks mate. It's a picture of Liverpool footballers Robbie Fowler and Steve McMannaman taken in 1996(?). Robbie Fowler had been accussed of using cocaine, so after scoring a goal at Everton(the local rival club), he proceeded to taunt the Everton fans by snorting the touch line
