This is a Continuation of this topic - Brisbane Meetup (Every Thursday 9pm)
The purpose of this thread is mainly for the Brisbane members to keep active on the forums as well as to discuss anything that is related to our Weekly Meetup. If anyone is intending on attending any one of our Meets, adding a post to this tread to say so would help keep everyone in the loop (no pun intended).
------------------------------------------------------------
About the Meet:
The Brisbane TOCAU group meets nearly every week from 8pm at either the "Loop" if it is dry or the "Train" if it is wet. A decision on where to meet when the weather is questionable is typically made around 7:30pm and an update is usually posted in the thread here. We welcome all members of the forum who own a Toyota as well as any prospective new members who are planning on getting a Toyota and want to stand around and talk Toyota. We are a very open group too, so if you ever move on, it's not like we will banish you from our meets. You will also be welcome to catch up with us regardless of where you move in the future. We are here just as a group of friends all with a common interest.
What to expect:
A bunch of guys and girls of various ages standing/sitting around in a crowd talking about anything and everything. Don't get the impression that because you may not know cars so well that you won't get along with us. We do talk about cars at times, but we don't revolve around just that. Just have a quick look at the discussion that goes on in this thread to give you an idea of how we all get along.
Cruises aren't the norm for us so if you get any ideas for a cruise somewhere, just mention it in the thread and we can think about planning something. Given the time of the week that the meet occurs though, options for cruises are fairly limited.
Where is it:
Loop (dry conditions) - Centenary Aquatic Centre: 400 Gregory Terrace, Spring Hill
Hoppy's (wet conditions) - Hoppy's Handwash Cafe Car Wash: 181 Abbotsford Road, Bowen Hills. <- If we do meet here, bear in mind that this is a privately owned business so please be considerate of that.
If you need any more details on how to get there, feel free to PM DJKOR, mick.wheelz, or SILVABULLIT.
We hope to see you out really soon!!!

They may be over rated in a yaris.....:P
-
Ill have the commo out with its new brakes, If i can get them to bloody work.
-
Ill be out in somthing with a alot of power, just not sure what yet...
-
Rods dont like doing 9K+. Another thing, whats the point in the extra RPM if the cam makes no more power over 8,400rpm?
so your saying don't go past 9K without doing the bottom end? That would be fine its looking far to pricey to past 9k anyway. And even then there will be no power increase past 8400? even with the piper stage 3 cams?
I wouldn't be going much over the stock 8,200 limit without doing the bottom end. The graphs on the MWR site show that the power peaks around 8,200-8,400 RPM so there isn't much point going any higher.

I will conceed on the ku36 as you have them and rate them
the 595's are average, i read enough tyre tests to learn that
whitestivo
I run the 595 EVO's on the commo, they seem to be able to keep 500hp under control, dont belive everything you read.
-
do remind me ..... if u n i ran down the 1/4 who would win :P :P :P :P ....... i did say faster not slower right :P :P :P
400m is where it starts :P
-
true true ….. I was thinking about this either a Evo, Rexy or even a skyline as these would be a good start with then very little mods to get them to where I am today …… for the moment I am think to sit tight with what I have …… unless someone gives me an offer I just cant refuse ;)
There is a 600hp R33 GTR sitting idle in the garage......ill do you a good deal.
OR, if you want somthing really fast ill let you drive the commo when I come down :P
-
Considering going, but the biggest hit is going to be accommodation.
My brother lives out in Singleton a few hours away but I wonder if this is a feasible option or not...
Most of us are going to stay the the F1, its like $70 a night for the room, so shack up with sombody and cut that in half.
-
eff study ill be there,
trav............time has come.................... :D
might be a bit late 20 past so dont leave without me
Thats the spirit.
-

-
at this stage i'm a yes. :D
i'll be driving... but would like some guide on where to book accomodation... :)
what's that? you will give me a lift down too if i pitch in for fuel. What a dude!
im in :)
Ill be coming down, If you want to pay for fuel my car uses it endlessly.....
-
That will buff right out?
Its a shame to see your car like that Daryl and main thing is everyone is ok. Just goes to show how strong the toyotas really are, not a single broken window....When i smashed up my commo AAMI were so easy to deal with, good to hear your getting the same treatment.
-
Are you putting your hand up DJKOR?
-
This guy cracks me up.....
PS My toyota Yaris (1.3L) flogged my 500hp SSV, also made mince meat out of the R33 GTR sitting in the garage as well (it runs 28psi boost)
FOOL!
-
meanwhile, you better be bringing the gtr northy!!!
Its not running atm, but that may change over the course of the day......
-
So you all don't think i'm bailing on the night, there is triathlon at Raby bay on Sunday, checkin 5.15am. 1/2 Olympic distance.
I made commitment to come to dinner, but i won't be driving, Mrs Whitestivo will have the car and be dropping, picking me up.
So guess what I'm comsuming Saturday night, Carbs and Staminade.
whitestivo
SOFT!
PS, ill set the ET in the yaris :P (mick knows what im talking about)
-
I'll be out too
-
HAHA, TRD588 mate your on drugs.
Oh BTW before you try to shoot me down, I own a V8 Commodore, Work car is VE Clubsport, Boss's brother owns a TRD Aurion, Im not taking anything away from the Aurions, but your smoking crack if you think your going to "smash" the comparitive HSV. Seeings as the last HSV that had the 5.7L V8 was back in 2004 so well done.
