Greetings Sydney Peeps,

Anyone up for a cruise tomorrow Thursday? I know Adamski is keen and The Viking diod mention he wants to come out and play. Yangster, you up for it? Anyone else?

I want to get the Sparkle in Motion!

Tomorrow as in 2/1/02?

Where ya's going? May be up for it depending on thingamabobs, Colonel Sanders.

Aye mon, i am keen. Set a time and location and im there. There are some nice twisty roads up here in the mountains, lots of fun, but not sure if everyone (well...ANYONE), wants to travel that far...:dunno
Also, whats the weather like tomorrow? I know the Viking wouldnt last too long on those tyres :redspot

If the weather is good I should be up for a drive in the evening, where do you guys want to head to? Somewhere with decent roads and that is not well known to all the drivers of "fully sik mobiles".

It is supposed to be drizzle but clearing, so its still up in the air, we may have to postpone it for a few days.

Sounds good people. Depends what time... is this going to be a nite or day thing?

Hope the weather holds up.

Men of men,

How about a brunch meeting at 1030 at Maisy's to make firm plans? Bring your car and digital camera/Mini DV camera.

ok, is that AM or PM? ill be there either way :b_blue:

oh yeah, small question: where is Maisy's? :boobies

Adamski: 1030 AM. Maisys is on Military Road in Neutral Bay. It's on the left as you head towards Mosman.

Yangster is also confirmed.

Have fun guys !
Looks I'll have to give it a miss...got relatives to entertain..

10.30, can't we meet for lunch, I am not a morning person at all!
I will most likely rock up a bit later, but don't worry you'll hear me coming!!!

Sweet. Sounds like a plan. I'll be there at 10:30. Maybe we can plan what we want to do while we're there. I'm not sure about driving tomorrow straight after it because I'm not sure what the traffic will be like but we can definitely figure it out then...

Looking forward to it....

Go to work you bludgers ;)

Trailer Trash, hurry up and send me those photos. I need to photoshop your car :)
Does V-tec have an 'h' at the end? ;)
Muhuhahaha:evil2

Trailer Trash, hurry up and send me those photos

GT-RS is HKS's new turbo. Supposed to provide more airflow than 2540 and spool up as quick as 2510. I've been able to find it from net but no info on pricing:

http://www.hks-power.co.jp/products/turbo/gtrs/gtrs.html

BTW, I'd expect to find a HKS GT2530 for around $1500 USD so those prices you posted seem quite high, almost like the prices HKS USA is charging.

Just go for Trust turbo, a lot cheaper than HKS Exclusivity and premium.

What I'm after is good mid range power with decent top end. While the Garrett GT25 provides the first, it doesn't hold boost as good as HKS 2530 does. From the charts it seems that the new GT-RS would provide both. Mario from www.exvitermini.com said he is currently testing them, we'll see what the verdict is.

Just checked HKS USA, www.hksusa.com , lists it at $2290.00.

I could find out off Mario, although he'll put everything up online if he deems fit.

The setting is the FIC cubbyhouse at Maisys Cafe.

The humble photographer didn't even get any happy snaps of himself or his beast. Nothing like equality now.

Why not a group photo to go down with the ranks of the FIC for future reference?

Whats the coffee like at Maisys?

Oh Jeeze. You haven't forgoten have you. Sharp as a knife you are Kenny. :)

Let me go out on a limb then and say that you have already won. Your car is one of a kind. I cannot complete my plans to the exact way as planned before so resistance is futile. I have other plans instead but I have doubts as to their success.


Just to show what a good looser I am too, the next coffee' at Maisys is on me.
In my old age I am only getting slower anyway.
