wat car will u be in so i can put it in the list??? It'll be a black 05 sportivo

hey hey - put me down man - I'll be there... I haven't been out to one of these events for quite some time... Cheers elbowz17

are shops open that day? coz i'd say it'd be a hell of a fight to get cars in and out of there (pending number of ppl) other suggestion would prob be homebush.. Homebush sounds good Daz...I just wasn't sure where the carparks there were located...But if you PM me more details about the carpark in the olympic centre I'll be more than happy to organise the meet point there.. Cheers Elbowz17

I tried cutting and pasting photos and maps etc but the only shot I could get was a map of the meeting point..... I know the way down to Wollongong from anywhere in Sydney, so I think its best if we all meet down at the Centro Roselands Shopping Centre located just off King Georges Road at Roselands. The address of the shopping centre is Roselands Drive, Roselands. So if we keep the above meeting point as a start and lets say an 11am departure time, that'll get things started. From there, we can all follow each other down the princes hwy, the freeway etc, all the way to the Gong... Cheers! elbowz17 :)

Hey all, Well its that time of the year again where the Easter break and the Anzac Day public holiday are fast approaching during the month of April.... While Easter will be a busy time for everyone and good numbers at a great cruise will be hard to get, I'm hoping to generate some interest in an Anzac Day public holiday cruise from Sydney to Wollongong for the annual SuperCruise event. I'm not sure if the Anzac Day SuperCruise is still running - as I know the event had some drawbacks a few years ago etc - but I'm wondering who'll be interested in attending this year's event from Syndey to Woollongong on the Anzac Day public holiday, Wednesday 25th of April 2007. If anyone one else has more info about this event, please let me know. Otherwise I wouldn't mind organising something for TOCOA on that day if interest levels are above average. So far the meeting point is set for Centro Roselands carpark but a carpark at the Homebush olympic centre might be better - if anyone can supply more details about which street this carpark is off that'll be great. Meet time is 10am for departure at 11am sharp. Interested cruisers so far: * elbowz17 * Big Pete (pending route details) * Saintly * blk toy * Saiya Thanks elbowz17

Sweet - I'm in... We can do the old Berowra Waters and Old Pac Hwy drive... Any other suggestions about the route let me know... Ta Elbowz

Hey all, I've lowered my facelift sportivo using King Springs thru Ozzy Tyres but I'm getting plenty of guard rub when I have just 1 or 2 extra passengers riding with me.... :( I recently fitted 17 x 7 Lenso AGS Racing wheels :) and drove around for a while with the stock suspension (I've got 225/45/17 tyres on there) - the car felt really unsettled and nervous with the change in wheels so I decided it was time for a lowering job to improve the ride. Finally I got it dropped 2" all around and was happy with the ride quality until I had 4 people in the car last sat night - The thing scrubs up like crazy... and its driving me nuts Would rolling the guards eliminate this?? Or should I just get rid of these spings and std shocks and go coilovers??? The ride isn't stiff enough, so I'm thinking coilovers.... What do you guys think?? Thanks elbowz17 ;)

I've noticed my fuel consumption has gone up about 1L per 100km (From 8.2 to 9.2) after I changed over to 17" wheels. Don't know why...

Sweeeeeeeet! Add me in! :D Elbowz

hey hey - sorry for the late response... I ended up buying the rims for $500 (woo hoo) and I have a mate who owns a tyre shop - so I should get some good rubber for a great price. I'll have them fitted in 4 weeks time because I'm getting the following done at the same time: - Rear C-one wings (I'm yet to source these), - Face-lift eye lids (Custom-Made), - Internal & External Neons (RED), - Lowered springs (2-3 inch drop), and - Finally tune my system. I'll be at the next Sydney Cruise hopefully with everything on by then.. Cheers guys! PS: I'll have pics posted under 'Members rides' as soon as I have completed everything...

Feelin' HOT HOT HOT... Very sexy car bro.. Hey are those 18s on there??? Oh, and where did you get those eye lids from.. I've got an 05 stivo which I'm starting to work on - can I PM you for more details?? Cheers Saleem

Hey hey all you rolla lovers - I need some advice... I've been shopping around for a while now to change my stock '05 Stivo's rims to something that'll make it look faster when its standing still. The Lenso AGS Racing wheel is what I've narrowed it down to (2nd prize goes to the Lenso Six Speed, and 3rd prize to the chrome finished Ryver wheel by Work.) but I'm not sure whether I should go for the 17s or 18s. I've been quoted $1150 (inc. Tyres) for the 17"x7" and have been told that the 18"x7.5" will not fit to the '05 Stivo. I'd love to have these wheels in 18" as it makes the car look PHAT but I've been turned off by the fact that all the wheel retailers in Sydney keep telling me that the 18s don't fit my car - even though they've never tried one on. I found these 17x7s on Ebay for under $600 without tyres ( http://cgi.ebay.com.au/BRAND-NEW-LENSO-17-...1QQcmdZViewItem ) and now I'm thinking I can do the whole job (wheels, tyres, lowering) for under $1100. I have 2 issues: i) what do you guys think of the rims? and ii) do you think I should stick with the 17s, or pursue fitting 18s on? PS: I only drive this thing on weekends... Cheers all SAL33M

Hey Hey - Newcastle sounds great - I'm up for it for sure... Since we're already through Mid-May how about we make this one Mid-June... Say Sat 17th June or Sun the 18th.. Either way I'm up for it... SAL33M :)
