Damnit Damnit Damnit...

The whole overheating radiator thing **** me off like you wouldnt believe. I was gona try and push it hard today, but the car didnt like it, and had to contend myself with keeping to the back of the cruise.

Oh well. New radiator within a week.... If it wasent for this damned flue id be able to sort alot more **** out. I gota get the aircon radiator out too, sort out my internal wiring, fit a turbo timer, buy a whole bunch of gauges and fit them, fit my CAI, and lots lots more.

Anyone know where I can buy gauges cheap? Id like a Oil Temp, Water Temp and Boost gauge.

Oh and what was that place every1 recomended for buying radiators?

bourbon · 05-02-2006, 08:28 PM

do you want a stock radiator? cuase if so i can prob get one

Ian · 05-02-2006, 08:32 PM

is it a stock auto BG radiator, or stock manual?

The auto is alot bigger, and thats what im chasing.

project.r.racing · 05-02-2006, 08:36 PM

i spoke to my roomate - he said the one you got should be fine... he suggested a radiator flush cos if may have **** in it from older/gtx engine that settled while sitting a auto wreckers...

anywayz, good cruise even with little problems along the way, a must do again.

good cruise guys

sorry had to drop off at lunch time got a phone call to goto work it was my day off but i had to go and keep the boss happy

bourbon · 05-02-2006, 09:01 PM

yeah ian...ill see what i can doo...if i can get one it will prob be a new radiator..but lettin you no the AUTO radiators have extra holes in them on the bottom...

chicaboo · 05-02-2006, 09:46 PM

They have extra holes for their built-in oil cooler for the auto gearbox. I seriously doubt an auto box would be better at cooling because some of the space is used for the oil cooling. UNLESS you use the oil cooler for your engine???

mazmitch · 05-02-2006, 09:49 PM

great cruise guys, i got home and had to rotate my tyres all that hard driving seriously detreded my fronts

LordWorm · 05-02-2006, 09:52 PM

Thought I best sign up...

Had a ball... only complaint was the stopping on narrow roads, when we had just passed perfectly servicable lookouts where I could have gotten some nice photos!!!

Anyway, cant wait to see the photos and vids of the trip.. was a nice run.. The twisties were great fun (mandy didn't like them much unfortunatly...)... cant wait to try once the superlows go on...

was fairly "spirited" the whole way... car got the cobwebs blown out... and I got to road test the response of the TB and intake mods (these work an absolute treat Twilight...can't thank you enough for helping out with them!!)

Spoke to SILVERBULLIT from the toyota club.. he had a good time but pulled out due to last nights curry disagreeing with the twisties... He'll be at the drag day in force...Expect to see you all there... NA Guys and Gals to help us get the trophy, FI people to give us some awesome burnouts and ultra fast runs to look at...and to support your NA brethren in their march to superiority over the toyota guys (looking increasingly likely now that northy's car is out of commission...)

You need YOUR tires rotated???

project.r.racing · 05-02-2006, 09:57 PM

Good to see some new guys about and other non-astina cars also

I feel like a newbie every cruise i do cos i hardly do any.

Ryan

chicaboo · 05-02-2006, 10:00 PM

We had a great time, I wish I could've shown off more to the Silver Sportivo, but he was unfortunately stuck behind me on the wet twisties section, and with 2 cactus tyres I wasnt willing to push too hard...

I should probably check mine out..

didnt HEAR any howling... but had the stereo cranked for the most part...

the second or third lot of twisties i was getting a bit of oversteer happening.... trying to keep up with you guys at the front was a full time job! i've never been so buggered after a drive in my life =)

project.r.racing · 05-02-2006, 10:04 PM

bugger huh? need more sleep and food in ya!!! if i didn't live up here i would've go home the same way

My tyres generally don't make much noise, but today was the first time I hit the knifes edge and got them overheated, then they were noisy and kinda D1ish on the last set of twisties...

twilightprotege · 05-02-2006, 10:25 PM

yeah was a good day, as most of our cruises are.....

and i still got 300k's to the top half of the fuel tank

gav - get real tyres

Yeah I know, they grip nowhere near as good as Mitches Goodyear Eagle thingies, mine spin up too easy in comparison. I really want Toyo Proxes T1-S or whatever they are called now, but I'm worried they won't fit under the guards with those +38 rims...

I'm considering a lightweight 16" replacement rims soon. Any suggestions anyone? Must be cheap and light, pref' with gold/bronze finish and machined lip.

Gav.

MitchEG · 05-02-2006, 10:30 PM

yah, fun cruise...nice burnouts you two...need to go back again and add to the collection. set off some bushfire alerts.

I wish i could've driven (not that i wouldve kept up) but yeah, car = leaking. I found out it is an engine mount so its no biggie.

looking forward to the next one.
