On the balance of things, if I can get a replacement cap from linemup, then I think I should be okay. Spoke with deek and he reckons it will just drop into my sump any small pieces that are missing. The cap is fairly perished so I think if the car was okay in the past with all that stuff falling into the engine oil hole, it will be okay.

Yep, seventytwo - no. 1 mod is replace the plastic oil cap with a metal billet one from Supercheap Auto - $20 for the CPC Billet according a search I did.

Hopefully see you tomorrow - thanks paulie2256 and blackxr6turbo for you PMs as well.

Ladies and Gentlemen, start your engines - CRUISE IS DEFINITELY ON :3gears:

Just went outside - beautiful blue skies, the sound of morning birds tweeting and the fresh smell of dew :spoton:

See you there - remember the plan is to leave the meet point at Shell westward bound just before the Westgate Bridge as close as possible to 9am. We won't be hard to find if you need to catch up - just look for a line of XRs roaring along the Princes Highway :spoton:

What a great day for a cruise !!! Blue skies, sunshine, some of the best scenic road in the world and great bunch of guys.

I gotta say that was the best run I've ever done on the Great Ocean Road - guess we picked a good time to leave the hotel - hardly anyone blocking us most of the way :3gears:

So thanks peeps (and Paulie2265 riding shotgun with me bringing me up to speed with the latest in mods) :beerchug:

Special thanks to deek for being my impromptu co-cruise controller helping me out on the day :thumbsup:

Seriously though, you guys who came along made it the great day :spoton:

Some figures - 10 cars, 400km (meet point roundtrip), 3/4 tank of fuel, approx. 8 hours, lots of grins :w00t2:

I should have some photos up soon :turboboink:

A SENSATIONAL run. Thanks Gary for a well organised cruise. Felt like I was on a tour. lol

I still can't believe that chick/bloke on the bike near Deans Marsh on the way home. 80k on the open road, what a spanker.

That supercharged XR sounded like a jet and the kids christened it the F1-11. REALLY wanna see that when he is done with it. And the guy in the blue FG (Sorry guys, I didn't get all your names) man if you get some decent brakes on that, what a car, well it is now.

The new brakes worked a treat thank chr+st cause there were a coupl of those bends I went into thinkin I wasn't gunna pull up.

Anyway, a really great day and for those of you who couldn't come, you missed a good run. For those of you who couldn't be bothered. you REALLY missed a great day.

Bring on the next one. Best way to blow a tank (well half) a tank of juice I can think of.

Cheers.
