we need another cruise

[thechuckster]

Please don't book out All Toyota Day on Sunday June 10 - am just checking today that it's still happening but our club has the day in our calendar.

We're having a "navigation run" after things wrap up at Toyota (usually by about midday or 1pm) and that's making its way up a hill somewhere in Brisbane.

cheers,
Charles.

Still keen on this cruise, but someone has to make a decision soon on where and when. If we go down the coast, maybe on the way back we cut back through mount tamborine, then head north back to brizzy? that way we get photo op at say The Spit, and twisties on the way home. just a suggestion.

this was the route (or most of it) that the OzCelica car club took on it's last QLD cruise, after meeting up at Yatala... Mt Tambourine, up to the Panorama and way down again to the Spit for pics and drive home after. if my engine were in better shape I'd probably do this run again, but she's seen better days and I don't feel like pushin the bitch home...

lilcrash - 240km (150mi) on a tank? that's worse than my old Scorpion with a 45mm Weber and Lynx crossflow manifold. I thought 300km highway driving was bad.

well i should get my car back from millennium motorsports soon whooohooo!!! cant wait for wolf controlled 1GGTE power
so yeah ill want sections of a cruise where i can actually make some boost and tewst it out. so not all mountain driving would be good. i like the idea of abit of highway and abit of mountains idea. with photos at the spit or somthing i dunno...

[love ke70]

if your not using boost up mountains ur either stuck behind someone or a cockfag...

[RAd28]

yeah thats it.. turbos LOVE mountains... hard to keep them off boost!

[Andrew162]

mountains = cool air.
cool air = turbo's best friend.
............
............
winnah!

[RAd28]

mountains = inclined slopes
= load on engine
= more air flow into the turbo
= more witchcraft inside the turbo
= more fasterness


more or less...

[celica77]

sheeessh everyone just rape me then lol.
haha yeah i know i know, but like i said this will be my first ever turbo set up so will take some getting used to for me..

[Andrew162]

first ever turbo? mmmm, mountain-run + turbo goodness + first-time turbo user = spare pair of daks!

[Mr DOHC]

first ever turbo? mmmm, mountain-run + turbo goodness + first-time turbo user = spare pair of daks!

plus spare pair for the guy behind him watching him go all over the place

[skiddz]

hehe NA goodness FTW!!

*runs and hides*

[RAd28]

lol... if skiddz ever has a car he can drive, then we're gonna have to hit some hilly roads just to test his metal...

for those of you interested, the NSW/QLD border loop has had some new tarmac put down on the QLD side of the border along the highway, was down there the other week, such a pity we were in the Patrol instead of the celica. me think we need to get together a bunch of celica and go christen the road...

So has it got new tarmac on the twisty bits, or just the highway?

But anyway, I was going to do a solo run of Nebo-Glorious this coming Saturday (9th) so if you (or anyone else who has wheels, doesn't have to be a celica) wants to join me, pm me.

...if skiddz ever has a car he can drive, then we're gonna have to hit some hilly roads just to test his mettle

fixed dude. mettle means courage and fortitude. if you wanted to test his car out then you can test his metal...

btw. where's this new tarmac on the N/Q border?

[RAd28]

i love the sound of a cruise but we're swapping dana head that weekend (the head on her engine btw)...

andrew.. if we were testing skiddz mettle, it would be very boring indeed his metal is his only chance to impress (jks)

thanks for the correction though, i though it was something like that.
