Ok.....its been long enough and I've decided to go for a bit of a squirt next Friday night (26th).....not an "official" cruise as such, just a gathering of members keen for a little run. Meet at the Caltex Heathcote (southbound), 8.00pm for an 8.30pm leave...... Exact route will be PM'ed to those who show interest, however, it does involve Mac. Pass..... So who's in?

300rwkw....through a stock clutch!! sounds like a ticking bomb to me

Mac. Pass ......you didnt tell me ...would have gone with you ....ugh Back on topic...... A certain black GT and an orange T bearing a big C&V windscreen decal parked outside a well known brothel in Rockdale this afternoon Ok....so Jeff was standing on the footpath eating a kebab from the shop next door.......

With some of the characters we've got round here....that'd probably be a long thread eh' Back on topic though.....Im in the process of putting another night run together and after reading some of the above.....as 1 of 5 suggested...Its probably a good idea to start PMing stuff like route details etc., or hand out run sheets on the night to participants only rather than plaster it all over the forum.

Ok, so we have redlight cameras for detecting the obvious.....safetycam to detect truckies and speed cameras for revenue rai/...sorry.....speed detection..... I reckon these ones should be called "idiot" cameras...because they detect idiots...... Warrants, Unregistered, Unlicenced type idiots......

Following a new GTP through Rockdale some months ago.....and its got what appeared to be a HSV sticker on the back window..... I catch up and stop behind him at the lights, and it is a real HSV decal......but had been doctored to read.... HSV...I "don't" want one...... Somebody obviously makes these...... Does anybody know where I might be able to score one of these

How you use the lever comes into it too...... The plastic bonnet release should not be pulled straight back....(towards the seat)... If you pull it "down" towards the floor....it doesnt stress it out as much..

Ahem....old age and treachery will overcome youth and inexperience anyday

"sleep driving" .....jabbering away on the phone more like it....

A blueprint XR6 with a pair of big Cobra style silver stripes over it on Sutherland bypass tonight..... Had a "launch performance" sticker across the back window.... AND.....this afternoon at Heathcote....parked on highway near the Caltex.....an FG Typhoon in Octane.... Look at the Octane F6 on the header of this page , its plate is WHA-166........ The car at heathcote.....an identical car with...WHA-167 what are the chances of that eh'

Dead right......and yes.....the guy would have gotten a super deal on the GTP or whatever was that was swapped out...seriously......in the 16 years I worked with Ford.....you wouldnt believe some of the stuff we used to do at dealer level just to appease a customer.....no bull. If the customer was prepared to pay costs.....there wasn't much we wouldn't do.....even swapping seats:spoton:

Worth more than a try......FPV have obviously made it a headache to get them changed at build level.. So really your only option is to squeeze the dealer....if your prepared to pay, then I can't see why the dealer wouldnt be open to swapping the seats out of another car?

Yeah...Im looking at getting a flash tuner that's already been used on one car... Is it really worth the mucking around getting it unlocked? Or should I just get a new one and be done with it?

One more quick question...... The shift in those instructions has two little plates you adjust for setting movement of the gate (front and back). Whilst its a different brand of shifter, should I fabricate and fit some of these? Or are the Herrod shifters designed not to use them?

Yeah, I was told it was a bit of an origami lesson to get out.... thanks heaps seventytwo... :popcorn:

I only got the shifter...no hardware and no instructions.......but that shouldn't be a major.... My main query is the bolts..... Someone told me that the factory shift is held into the trans by bolts that cut their own thread...kinda like a self tapper?? Is that correct? By the look of it, the bolts that hold it on are big countersunk screws...but I think the ford ones are hex bolts and I don't know what thread they are to go and buy em'...... I dont want to get the thing all pulled apart then find out the bolts wont fit you know......

I just scored a Herrod Suresix shifter..... Is there much involved in fitting one of these?....do I need a hoist or can I do it on the ground? Checked their site but no fitting instructions... Has anybody else got one of these....what do you think of it? Thanks guys.....

Its only getting started?...... When I overtook the 4WD on the coast road.....Pat was about 4 or 5 carlengths behind me ....I wondered before I pulled out if he would come with me cause it wasnt a long stretch......3rd gear and Ive floored it to get round this guy.....look in the mirror.....no headlights behind......Im thinking..Oh' well...he didnt come too...... Then....he backs off and reappears from under my rear wing!!! sheese... That car came from that far back and was on me before I'd even rounded up the 4WD.....that's some serious punch man ......and there's still more?

A great run last night.....thought I was doing ok coming through Nasho and down the coast road, despite that 4WD holding us up for a while anyways .......we get to Maccas, meet up with Carly, then off we go up Mt Ousley. Carly leads us on merry chase up the mountain, at first, I was second in the queue behind her....then, in the blink of an eye, Ive gone from second to the back of the pack and watch while six sets of tailights disappear into the distance .....thanks for waiting by the way. Out onto Picton road and we're all still chasing that Ghia...till Pat takes over and leads us through Wilton and up into Appin....Pat and Chris decide to take the shortcut home from Appin so there's 4 of us left.....Carly leaves at Bulli to go back to Albion Park, leaving Ryan, Robbo and myself to....er..."cruise" ... back up the virtually deserted freeway to Waterfall then home. Thanks guys for coming along....weather was good, roads were clear (well almost) and the company was great...a good time was had by all and I'm already working on the next one.... After being hosed off by everybody up the hill, I realise that I've really got to get an edit for this car.....

Unless you've got enough for two.....I'll just have to give mine a quick tub when I get to the servo.....

Of course mate.....I hope we dont hold up any big trucks along the way.... Valet tune....smartass... Guys, while I dont intend to get booked or try and throw my car off the road at any stage tonite... Im really looking forward to having a bit of a run with the boys.....especially through the twisty (read isolated)bits of the route ok.....besides..we cant muck around too much.....Robbo has to get to bed early remember Disclaimer; Good morning Mr Phelps..... Please be aware that if any of your I.M...force or cruise participants are caught or crash.....the secretary of XR6 Turbo. com.au will deny any knowledge of your actions..... This thread will self destruct in five seconds......Good luck Jim......

Its actually 8.30 meet for a 9.00pm leave.....but if everyone gets there a little earlier, we can go anyway ok.... If Id known about your early start I would have set it up for 8.00 or so Rob.... It looks like the weather Gods have smiled upon us, so Ill see you guys at the servo tonite ok... So far, I think theres only about 6-7 of us so it should be a pretty good deal..and, assuming those going will read this thread before meeting up....if we can meet a bit earlier....Rob does need his beauty sleep you know Those in.....Robbo, Chris, Steve, Pat, Ryan, me and Brad (meeting us at Maccas).....any more?

"Son of Saleen".. Well, looks like the weather will be all good for Monday night.....see you all there ok... While were on the subject...whatever happened to Rob(Saleen).....did he move interstate or something?

Of course I'm just being a smartass ...couldnt help myself...... And if we can set up something that may be more flexible for you in time and distance one night.... then I'm sure we'd be open to suggestion ok...... 300ks from Sydney?...what area are you in/ 560 rwks....only if you promise to wait for the rest of us at the end of the cruise ok

Why do you think we run em' on Friday nights.....Oh' you do work Monday nights too dont you.....
