This may sound silly but i count 4 cars going down. Is there a reason for 3?

Granted me and gav will be in cars all by our lonesome

project.r.racing · 30-03-2009, 02:55 PM

you guys gonna drive around for 4 days in 2 seperate vechicles? or you gonna alternate cars each trip away from dorrigo? i'd just thought you might do the latter.

Ice88 · 30-03-2009, 03:39 PM

Sounds good to me

Didnt really think of it tbh

marcs_sp20 · 30-03-2009, 03:52 PM

I take dibs in Gav's car

Lets just hope he returns the favour

i think you guys might want to bring them along just in case ... usually the time you really need to talk to someone in the other cars comes up at just the moment when you end up in a blackspot ... have a safe trip folks

Ice88 · 31-03-2009, 12:17 AM

Yeah ill be bringing them if i find them

I packed them before i moved house, just gotta find them when im back seeing mum n dad.

project.r.racing · 01-04-2009, 08:03 AM

Massive floods today.

Dorrigo and Bellingen are blocked.

Coffs Harbour main street is under 40cm of water.

marcs_sp20 · 01-04-2009, 08:43 AM

Lets just hope its right for us come 9 days time...

chicaboo · 01-04-2009, 09:21 AM

I heard this this morning too. Well, we can drive down and up Waterfall Road if it's blocked.

Seriously, there is another way to Coffs that bypasses Bellingen.

We will be fine.
Gav.

I got a new water pump today perhaps i wont need it tho? Just a long piece of garden hose might work it seems

Mad Mat · 01-04-2009, 09:06 PM

lol have'd u see the top gear episode when they all buy alfa-romaieos 4 less then 1000 pounds. hamonds water pump brecks right so he uses a hand pump and 4 44 gallon drum and some graden hoes. lol

Ice88 · 01-04-2009, 09:23 PM

yeah that episode is gold

Its not breaking just developing a leak

chicaboo · 02-04-2009, 11:14 AM

Better take out the CAI and put your stock airbox back in Marc!

I'll call DMR later today and see what this means for us if it doesn't clear up in time.

marcs_sp20 · 02-04-2009, 01:22 PM

It'd be nice to see the difference in powah if I were to change it back

chicaboo · 02-04-2009, 01:31 PM

The Mazdaspeed grill lets ram air into the stock intake, and that is quite noticeable from 80kph on.

marcs_sp20 · 02-04-2009, 01:36 PM

Hmm, dont you me autoexe?

Seriously, going to be watching the weather closer to the set off date to make a decision if I want to put the stock intake back in... something I really cant be farked doing

chicaboo · 02-04-2009, 01:41 PM

Same same...

Well, if you wanna take the risk, it's up to you. I haven't had mine in for about 3 weeks, so I know I can drive through a bit of water safely and not have anything to worry about.

marcs_sp20 · 02-04-2009, 01:52 PM

makes me wonder if I should take the pissy way on the pac hwy... seriously, after dorrigo, the car is going in to get he cv's & clucth done...

project.r.racing · 02-04-2009, 02:00 PM

pac hwy is under water currently marc, you cannot go that way for now.

chicaboo · 02-04-2009, 02:01 PM

I had some exciting and very floroushing waterfalls planned for us to see between Armidale and Dorrigo that we can only see along the NE route.
