Cee-Lo

So what cars is this cruise open to?

I'm for blanking out the plates on photos of cars with standard issue plates. But for those with custom plates, it's debatable. Some say they should be given the same privacy as those with standard issue plates, but then again, those with custom plates want their plates to be known?

And does no one from here live around my end of town?, I never spot anyone haha.

Pic too big, please upload a smaller version, took me an hour to scroll across to see it all.

Looks good though, did you recently give it a cut and polish?

Looks like it's a fun car to race :)

Should park it up next to a real Aurion, would put things in perspective.

Looks like those tyres have quite a bit more than 2 months left in them, unless you suffer from camber wear that the last pic doesn't show?

Nice Mark III. They pull off the 80's-early 90's look off really well.

And can be made into a powerhouse if you wished to go down that road.

Ahh this meet would be awesome! Been up past Healsville countless times. The black spur run is a bit of a waste of time IMO... head out past there to buxton (mmm... burgers...) then go to marysville and then up lake mountain. Smooth flowing roads that lead up to a huge car park (no skidz... ok mebbeh a few) then a 10 minute walk to some awesome scenery. Would make for some nice photos :)

Have fun guys! ill try and make it to the next one, this one clashes with the classic japanese car show

Im down for garage cafe... place looks mad!!

Hahaha typical twincam antics :P, TOCAU doesn't condone skids so no skids for this cruise/meet. Got more specific directions to get to that massive carpark? If everyone is keen we'd probably end up going there.

Do the garage cafe thing on the sat the day before, or we can hit up a kebab joint on sunday after the black spur run.

Ah Knox, that area can be harsh on modded japanese cars, best to keep a low profile when in the area...

What you mean by that?

some cops are not fully aware of ADR's and such, some are still using the 2" rule for aftermarket wheels.

what's ADR and 2 rules for after market lol sorry for stupid question I'm new to car modding world >=p

Not a stupid question at all, i doubt many members of the general public know what ADR's are. They are Australian Design Rules, one thing which tells you what is legal, and what is not. For example, take aftermarket steering wheels, some are ADR compliant, while others are not, anything which doesn't comply with the ADR's is illegal and is in every right defectable. When you are issued a defect notice by a police officer, what items are defected are pretty much up to the officers discretion, they may say an item is defective when it is not.

There is also the VSI's (Vehicle Standards Information) Here's one that applies to modified cars http://www.vicroads.vic.gov.au/NR/rdonlyres/CC48FC10-4D57-4F04-82E1-3BD72EF88340/0/VSI8.pdf

The old 2 inch rule meant that you could only legally use wheels up to 2" larger or smaller in diameter compared to what your car came out of the factory with. That rule is now obsolete, and you can run any size wheel you like, as long as the tyres you put on those wheels are load rated for that vehicle.

I'm a maybe, depends what time I start work the next day.

Obey the speed limits, don't push too hard in the corners (especially the blind ones) and you and your car will make it through in one piece.

I'm 100% in now, and mate may also bring his car, not sure how many passengers he'll bring though.

Wait that's not paint? The vinyl wrap looks real good, is there a reason why you chose that over a respray?

Needs matte black rims for more stealth!

Sounds pretty tough as well, you should come down to the Black Spur cruise on the 20th to let us see and hear this beast!

Just make sure you don't paint the discs too! I've seen it done.

Btw what area did you cop the defect in? And as far as I know, LED parkers are legal as long as they are white, any other colour is illegal for the reason of being a distraction to other drivers, and red or blue parkers can also nab you a fine for impersonating an emergency vehicle. Unless the rules have changed, but then again some cops are not fully aware of ADR's and such, some are still using the 2" rule for aftermarket wheels.

Looks Tidy! How about swapping the roof racks off for the ones that have that wind deflector thing in front of them? Like This http://67.99.204.142/Merchant2/graphics/00000001/ThuleFairing_m.jpg Seems it's called a fairing.

Tidy looking CAI! Is there any ducts running from the bumper up to near the pod?

If the Nov 20 Cruise is going to be a black spur run, why don't we cruise up to Igloo Roadhouse in Buxton for lunch? Never been there myself, but I hear the burgers are pretty good.

No one here keen on using a bit of kerosene or methanol poured in the fuel tank? Most of us have some lying around at home.

Going back to stock? So the thread should be renamed to Kenshin's stock rocket XD

How long is everyone going to hang around Sunshine Vicroads for? I might run late, as it's a bit of a drive for me.

hey guys tomorrow we are having a mini meet up again to welcome ben yip from sydney coming down for a visit and tracking at winton with his zre. meeting place tomorrow is at 6pm at vicorads car park in sunshine as per usual. we can have a chat there and then go to dinner wherever. i'll sms people later on today if they miss this online.

cheers everyone

We heading into the city for dinner? Or dinner could be somewhere in the west?

I'd be worried if your nuts were red or blue, might want to get that checked out...

Bad jokes aside, either one, just have the calipers and nuts a matching colour.

I might be up for doing something on sunday.

The gold rims could have worked ok if you slammed the car on coilovers, but if you're going for fitment, may as well offload them for something else.

+1 for Hyperspeeds, very rarely can you go wrong with a 5 spoke rim.

New rims suit the car better, goes well with the window and taillight tint, there's some treasures to be found at JDMyard :D

Where's the cup holder from? Looks pretty handy having a slot for headunit remotes.
