I could be keen for that.

Cheers Brad.

Adam, would you prefer the whale stock or in JDM guise?

[SilverRA23]

JDM JDM JDM...

But might be worth a recce to check the speed humps before you go that way?

[dfunkt]

lucky me, i have 5 days without the wife, so plenty of time to check them out.
might do it tonite actually......gonna be that way for supporting/heckling track cyclists. if i can get over without scraping while stock, it'll be JDM in 4 weeks.

I live literally around the corner, gotta mate who's been ranting about showing his datsun 260C wagon since he saw the flyer, I'll definitely be there, not sure if either of my car's is really up to the standard that I want to show them off and take up the place of a more deserving car, but I'm definitely going to have both of them in the car park!

That would be awesome if you could check it out Tate. I absolutely hammered the living shit out of the centre muffler on the Crown after the speed humps at Coffee and Donuts in Brimbank park a couple of month's ago.

mine is also well beaten, have been waiting for it to rip open/off, but no luck on that front as yet......probably cos i'm driving it once a month

I think the last one is most likely to present issues, but if you approach it at the right speed and angle, it may be alright too.

We may consider putting extra ramps on it or something for the day if need be...let me know what you think.

that sounds like a very excellent idea. i'm sure i won't be the only one who will be grateful for it.

i did indeed go and check out Yarra Bend Rd and it's speed bumps last night.
the crown cleared them beautifully, and i didn't need to crab over them either. i could've done them at 15-20 km/h and not scraped, but they're a bit jolty. going over at ~5 km/h was nice and smooth.
they're a bit tall, but they are also fairly long. you can see the ones that are worse as there's plenty of gouge marks on the road, mostly on the way out.
i don't think ppl will be scraping going over them. they seemed safe enough to crab if ppl are that way inclined (pun intended).

tl;dr

JDM TIME!
