yes thats right guess yet another cruise!! sigh you all say :p

this one is a little bit special tho because we will be heading to the gold coast to catch up with kittykatsmack when she is up for her holiday ;)

i know the majority of QLDers havent met the kitty, but i tell you she is crazy and it will be a good way to spend the arvo down with all the fully sik cars

Meetups

Northside Aspley maccas, 10 sharp roll out
Southside springwood maccas 10:30 roll out
arrive at the spit sometime after 1.

i know kitty will be dieing to meet you all and if you can squeeze in another cruise this month it would be great toshow our hospitality and support

Bring your dorifto RC cars boys and girls!

KittyKatSmack
06-02-2006, 12:40 AM
Ah, we won't be able to fit the RC cars in on this trip.
We are delivering a load of stuff to a friend that has moved to Tweed Heads.

Nate, I spoke with Ian and Anita from the XR6turbo club and their BBQ starts in his new workshop at 12.30 - 1pm.

If you all arrive at the spit sooner, we can all hook up, and then go to a great BBQ with the ford guys. You will love Goldie, and the people are really nice too, especially Anita who is coordinating all my wedding stuff.

Bring some snags and come for a great afternoon helping christen the new workshop that Ian has moved into, and have some fun for all.

Come on all you Queenslanders, come and show us southerners what your famous hospitality is all about.

Looking forward to it!

Cheers

sigh... I was trying to plan my own cruise on that day..... Never mind....

as to a coast cruise..... Only if my heat problems are fixed by then... I cbf driving up the highway with the heater on anymore...

Also theres the whole money thing. I used alot of fule in todays cruise, lots more in next weeks mazda4's cruise, I only get paid fortnightly... Gota make the money stretch, as tempting as it is to blow 2 weeks wages on the first full day of shoping buying car bits...

Anyway, its weeks away yet.

DeeJay RyRy: Bring yourself, your sense of humour, your laughter and some sausages maybe? There will be stuff there being provided by Ian and Anita to the Ford folks, and it's already costing them so if we can all be a bit self sufficient, that would be great.

Nate: We have been planning this trip since before Xmas, as you know.
I appreciate the efforts you are going to in getting everyone together.
Some of the Ford people are also invited to my wedding, so you will get a chance to meet some people that you will see here in Canberra. Maybe we can have a multi-car-brand cruise from QLD to ACT for the Wedding? LOL

Anyway, I think it's a great opportunity to get car enthusiasts together.
Ford and Mazda are 1st cousins too I think?
It will be a fun day for sure.

Their cruise is starting near DreamWorld at 0830 am and they are going south of the border and back through some twisty bits. We won't be cruising with them though.

Nate
06-02-2006, 08:57 AM

Feedback from the xr6turbo cruise organiser (Goldie is his screen name, his name is Ian and he is such a wonderful guy, we love him to death!) says that the more cars the merrier. Don't have to be Fords, just as long as we all want to enjoy ourselves!

I'm EXCITED!!!

Ian
16-02-2006, 06:31 PM
mine hasent overheated in ages and ive given it some stick.

Might be an idea to go give it plenty up nebo during the day to make sure the heat issues have all gone away.

twilightprotege
16-02-2006, 08:00 PM
^ then throw some cold water on the red hot rotors.

man that's not the way to do it! luck isnt going to get rid of your cooling problems - FIX IT!

chicaboo
16-02-2006, 08:11 PM
Yeah Ian, I don't know whether the sizzling sounds you heard was the rotors or all our very surprised chins successively hitting the ground as we all watched in amazement that you actually did that!

Make sure you poor chilled coolant and oil into a hot radiator and engine next time you want to surprise us! :p

Ian
17-02-2006, 01:07 AM
larf it worked didnt it?

The noises went away.

Besides, they were only stock rotors, not slotted.

chicaboo
17-02-2006, 07:25 AM
Errr, yeah but rotors are meant to get hot and cool down on their own...

Nate
17-02-2006, 12:28 PM

Mad Mat
17-02-2006, 02:42 PM

3. KittyKatSmack and Aaron

The BBQ is at:

Ian Schmidt Auto Repairs
1/511 Olsen Ave
Ashmore

and starts at 1pm.

We will try to be at the spit early enough to lead everyone to the BBQ.

If anyone is interested in cruising with the Fords before the BBQ, they are meeting in the carpark of a soccerfield on DreamWorld Drive, opposite Boathouse Tavern.

Nate: you have my mobile number to stay in touch with us

We will also have the radio, what channel do people use?

See ya's tomorrow :)

ian cooled his back disc rotors with water about 30 secs after he parked his car on the nebo trip.

bad bad move

Ian here is an experiment to do at home with a glass to see what we mean

fill a glass with hot water from a kettle, leave for a minute or so. Empty the glass and fill it with ice cold water.

See what happens

its the same with rotors a good way to crack them

Not really a cruise, but it was nice to see that gold XR6T and it's Clarion competition system when we finally got there, it had more of a home theatre sound than a car sound (which I like).

It was a weird arsed day, we spent a lot of time standing around in the heat wondering WTF is going on. I'm annoyed I forgot to bring my DJR drift car with me more than anything else.

Lots of traffic going home from the spit too. I challenged Ian 3 times before he got sick of beating me. The first 2.5 times I had my A/C on, the 3rd time I didn't. Funnily enough the 2nd time was my best run against him, I stayed with him until I heard it spool, and off he went! I so cannot compete with 10psi...

Thanks to Tina, Aaron, Anita and Ian for hosting us and putting in the preperation to make the lunch thing happen, much appreciated. I am so annoyed I forgot my drift car...

What gear were you droping it back to man?

For two of thoes races I was just planting it in 5th and I think in one I droped it back to 4th.... That would of been the last run. It can go back to 3rd at thoes speeds but it doesent like it so much.

Mostly when i race some1 on the highway I just plant it in 5th.

I was like nigga..... please.

Each time I race one of u dudes on the highway I can just see my lisence meelllltttiinnng which is why I backed it off after the thrid one chickaboo.

I so need to get my suspension worked on so I can compete seriously up the mountains too...

89sp1.8
19-02-2006, 10:01 PM
i only went like once or twice today i think....i know i have no chance even if u missed gear i still wouldnt. last time i went a couple of times cause i like to see the great diffrence it makes after conversion.to see its worth the trouble and money. :)

Ian
19-02-2006, 10:04 PM
I think I made it to 180 when I was racing chickaboo... Mine starts shaking and **** at thoes speeds.

humm yeah the conversion did make alot of different... U woulda noticed that when u took it for a spin tho :P

bourbon
19-02-2006, 10:06 PM
bahahaha astinaboi...i no what you mean as well...my auto has hold...im guessin you were in 3rd when hold was on at 180...

i got to 190 at the start of 3rd i was on 180 top of 2nd and changed to 3rd with out hold on cause it was gonnna go in to low 3rd anyway... and got it to 190...only 1 reason i slowed down..cause of the other cars on the road...i was gonna go to 200 but just a lil tooooo many cars to do that...and also my speedo goes to 240 aswell doesnt mean thats its top speed...seen somewhere sayin the BG ASTINAS top speed is only 201km/h

dudes can you get stronger cars :p haha when iwas doin 190 it was riding smoothly...i had nothin to worry bout :confused: should ibe worried about that??? :confused:

Ian
19-02-2006, 10:07 PM
??

Since when were astinas capable of 180 in second?

How teh eff? Man ive never made it to 200 before or after the conversion. Specially not 200 in 3rd.

If I got a decent straight and planted it in 5th when I was at 110 it would happily go to 200, I think I could hit max speed of the gearbox which I believe is 210? But jeezus, I wouldnt wana be in it at thoes speeds.

Mostly when i race some1 on the highway I just plant it in 5th.I was going back to 3rd (if I can you can), but it didn't matter much with the A/C on. I could tell the ONE time you were in 5th (2nd run), it took quite a while for it to spool up (I could hear it building). The 1st time you went straight onto boost! The 3rd time it didn't take very long either. But if you were in 4th and 5th, your car is stronger than my friends MY98 WRX Clubspec 2 with STi turbo...? :confused:

Like I said, I can't compete with 10psi, you need to cut it back to 5psi and throw 100kg in the boot to make it even cuz. :p

19-02-2006, 10:11 PM
u know with hold what does it drop it to if ur in drive?? were u in s with hold? im always scared that if i have inhold and s it gona dmg the engine as u hear it hardcore revving... wat i do is i put s with old then quick in d with hold and then hold off....

19-02-2006, 10:17 PM
ok dude if your racing and changin through the gears like a manual DO NOT ON ANY CIRCUMSTANCE USE HOLD!!! CAUSE YOUR KEEPIN CONSTANT ACCELERATION TO THE ENGINE...and it will change up gears when needed... way i do it if im dragin is...drop into 1st let it do its gear change in to high first....then pop it into 2nd let it do its gear change in to 2nd and then 2nd high then pop her into 3rd and thats all youll neeed...

now if your doin more curcuit racing use hold when slowing down...put hold on when in 2nd gear at around 80-90 km/h...it will drop it back to low 2nd...that will build your revs up higher and will let you slow down a lot quicker meaning more speed for longer before the corner...when half way through the corner take hold off and accelerate baby!

Humm. Okey... Nah never went down past 4th, the first time I came straight on boost cause I was sitting right on 3k as we gunned it straight off from 110. While its rolling or under very little acceleration its still sitting on about 10 vacume, then when u open it up the gauge snaps straight onto 10PSI and you get 10 PSI straight up, no spool required. Is quite cool.

hey u kno how u do the engine break thingo in manuals to slow down like put it on 2nd from 4th type stuff.. .i do that in my auto... like from drive to s and then to L... and it does exactly the same thing even makes that same slowing down noise... is it good for the gearbox.. im thinking it cant be.. so should i stop... i know when im racing /speeding i start in s with hold on to rev it harder and then go to drive.. thats not wrekin it...is it??

bourbon
19-02-2006, 10:23 PM
i find you shouldnt really go down to L (1st) when still goin...but sometimes if i wanna over take someone (ie highway, 2way 1 lane either way road) i drop her back into first to get the revs up...and basically have to chuck her straight into 2nd after like .8secs of first...cause first i hit redline(6k) at 112km/h i think

Autos are very good for downhill twisties, but you can run the chance of overheating your tranny oil and getting locked into or out of gears... A Chicaboo Permacool oil cooler can fix that! :p

Permacool oil cooler is a typical looking oil cooler with the addition of an X cross section that goes through the piping to extend the cooling capacity by some rediculous amount.

Nup not free, but if you are serious I will look at what I paid and take off some $$$. It's never been used either... You can run it in-line with automatic cooling to the bottom of the radiator to extend your gay autos cooling capacity. Which basically means when you are driving in the mountains it won't suffer heat-lock. Or later on use it for the engine, it doesn't care what oil goes through it...

How the *fu*k* are you going 112 km/h in 1st?

Is your gearbox made out of kryptonite?

okey, ive never really looked into how an overdrive works, but from what I know, its aprox the equivilent of:

1st Low = 1st manual
1st High = 2nd manual
2nd low = 3rd manual
2nd high = 4th manual
3rd = 5th manual

Still and all, 112 KPH in 2nd is not the go. I know on a G series that 2nd has a top speed of 90...

Sigh... Autos...

1st Low = 1st manual
1st High = 2nd manual
2nd low = 3rd manual
2nd high = 4th manual
3rd = 5th manual

overdrive is a system like an added gear isn't it? so 12t = 2nd, 2nd = 3rd, 3rd = 4th, locking the gears into a lower rev ratio to allow higher speeds/lower fuel consumption.
Still and all, 112 KPH in 2nd is not the go. I know on a G series that 2nd has a top speed of 90...
Keep going higher son!

Must be different with the BGs as I know I have pushed mine past 100 in first before
Although I have the Lantis Box with LSD and the casing is a G series but the box's label states LZ. I have never been able to find out the gearing ratios anywhere before
Takes a good beating though

you wouldnt be able to get in trouble for posting bout it,the best they could do id take ur details of ur car(if on site) and keep an eye out.possibly blacklist you.
but really think about it,do u think police are going to spend time scrolling forums everyday to look for this stuff....?
i have been told that when someone asked a poilce officer if they actually go on the forums (eg. boostcruising,streetrydes,queensland street car etc etc.) and the officer actually laughed at them...like if they really want to bust u all they have to do is pull u over for random check.

eg. they can write u a fine for not having enough water in ur windscreen washer container...

i've found this site pretty accurate for that kinda poop :

http://www.wallaceracing.com/0-60_equation.php

using my 1/8th mile times of 9.484 seconds @ 73.31mph i get a 0-60mph of 6.35 seconds. i guess you can work yours out after saturday?

Ian
20-02-2006, 10:13 PM
Yeah. Provided I get there... I have to source a new radiator and find my spare engine mounts and install them, not to mention the ful sik choice bro mods I have yet to install, and theres a CAI that I have to install as well.

Laaarf. How much of that u reckon ill be able to get done? im betting on not alot.

Yeah mate, my ****s are positioned poorly. 4 - 8 every night, and I need the car to get there, so if I pull the mounts in the morning they have to be back in by nighttime or its all over red rover.

Hey Guys,

Sorry I haven't replied sooner.

I had a fantastic time meeting all the new faces, and seeing my family of AGT'ers.

Hope you all will organise a cruise to come to canberra for the wedding in 7 months time.

To Ian and Anita, a huge thankyou for the wonderful food, laughter and fun provided by you both over the few days we got to spend with you.
All the guys loved your efforts Anita with the food. You sure know how to put on a BBQ!

I honestly can't wait until our wedding day when all the people I love will be there for a MASSIVE PARTY!!!!!!

Good effort by the QLD AGT'ers, we really appreciate you all coming along to meet us and say g'day. I loved seeing all the BG's together. It is at events like this that I see just how much of a family and community we have here on AGT.

No matter what happens or where I am, I will always love all you guys!!!

Keep up the fantastic efforts!
I loved the pics taken of the cars at the spit!

*hugs all round*
