1. Mentok - Driving Syd > Mel, one spare seat, only one way 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.

FYI, my mobile number is 0414186682 for the Melbourne guys if they wanna track the progress from Sydney to Melbourne anytime on friday :)

just a reminder for the QLD'ers, if your passing thru Sydney and need a place to crash O/N, my door is open :)

/stabby stabby nar, sounds like a plan. BTW, i'll be wining the best car entry for the show and shine with tat's car after last years poor effort (2nd, what a load of pish!)

SHOT GUN! M_M's car with the camera.

the low down: meet at the twin servos, drive up the mountains till leura. as we are coming out of wentworth falls, we'll move into the left lane and get ready to turn before a rail bridge, you can download the route here http://members.iinet.net.au/~linuxuser191/ - Download the BM Cruise.pdf file I'll also have copies on the day to distribute

....on that rain note, i've been keeping atune to sundays forecast, and so far it isn't too bad, but there maybe showers. do we want to risk it or save it till after Easter?

there will be a guide handed out on the day (maps and stop points will be highlighted) i'll make sure there is enough to go round. i'll post a rough copy up once its all complete (COB Thursday....that means around 10pm :P) in a PDF format

http://au.toyotaownersclub.com/forums/inde...showtopic=20585 - new official thread, post close this and pin the thread admins :) all questions should be directed to the above ^^

i'm in I'm guessing the QLD group will stay at the F1 they stayed in for the annual meet in Sydney, or near by (my place). I suggest the twin servos past Mittagong (Marulan) for a meeting place for the Gongers, Briso's and New South Welshmen. Time 8am for a 8:30 leave? FYI, there are road works from Gundagai to Albury (approx 180km), speed is set at 80, so this will be a slow part for us. See below: http://maps.google.com.au/maps?f=d&sou....073425&z=9 My understanding is its freeway on the VIC side of the border, so it should be fast from there on in. Suggestions for breaks on the trip for those leaving Sydney Friday morning: 1: Wentworthville F1, 6am Sharp or earlier depending on how people feel 2: Twin Servos at Marulan ETA: 8am 3: Gundagai - drive into the town and park on the main road, ETA: 11AM 4: Chiltern - there is a off-freeway parking bay for a stretch of the legs, ETA:2:30PM....due to the road works 5: Seymour - somewhere in town, ETA: 4:30PM 6: Melbourne - to the accommodation, ETA: 6PM any more suggestions, please feel free to add them or we can run with this :)

night time just adds a greater element of death and you miss all the views. I would suggest 2-3 groups, depending on you driving style

up the mountains, across to bells line, back to light horse interchange see below: http://maps.google.com.au/maps?f=d&sou...e=UTF8&z=10

day cruise and feed and photoshooooooooting if you need a hand organising it, let me know. I have a few place we could go :)

QLDS'ERS: Sydney accommodation is free for 3 :)

ATTN QLD'ERS! if you need a place to crash mid way down, i have 3-4 spots at my place, which only 5-10mins from the F1 you stayed at for the Sydney meet PM if your interested

WHAT! so no suits and class this time?.....DAMM!

ME vs Northy BRING IT ON!

hey everyone, have a mate who needs a replacement plastic thingo that sits where the foggies go on a pre-face lift rolla '05. i'm looking for both side atm as i'm unsure which side needs to the part. any ideas? maybe rollaboy? any help is as always much apprenticed in advance :)

little does sikwitit know that he could pick me up on the way to the meet? Please? :)

slightly OT, but still relevant. razor_raef - did you have any problems mounting the 6" splits in the doors? did you cut any holes or could you use what came out of the factory to mount the speakers? cheers in advance

looks like good start. is that the start of a stereo install I see there? :o

looks like photoshop

it is a easy process you need to remove the black plastic around the dials, a/c controls and the 2 centre air vents. the whole thing is held in by 4 screws. you need to remove the plastic surrounding the stereo to get to 2 screws and then there are 2 screws in where the dials are. make sure you disconnect the hazard lights button and power mirror controls (and a the dash clock if you have one) then there will be 4 screws holding the dials in place. undo them. you should now be able to access the back of the dials and change the lights. the size of lights you are looking for are known as T10. most car shops have them, but added rice value goto www.autojoy.com.au (there in parra), they have good selection of rice lights any questions, you know how to contact me :)

If get less than 600km per tank i'm spewin'! FYI, i drive a manual things i do to get this: one a week, do a long steady freeway drive (about 40 -80 km) fill will 95 octane (caltex vortex works fine) change oil every ~8000k'm plus filter (nothing flash, just something that does the job) drive like old man where you can, only lay it down if I need to or on at a random moment :) plugs, leeds and full injector treatment (where they take them out and clean) - this should be done every 100,000 along with the t/belt. This is costly, but well worth it IMO i've done the above recently and can say that car runs better, smoother and get better fuel range per tank. the more freeway driving I do, the better range I get off each tank. just recenlty, got 850km off one full tank, a/c on all the time. anything is possible, if you put your mind to it :)
