are you thinking about Opel-ising her?

We got a group buy of all the badges direct from Ireland. There is information in the "Great Deals" section.

That reminds me - i should take some piccies of mine Opelised. Maybe after it's next wash.

It cost me $150 for get all the exterior badges (OPEL and CORSA on the back, the Blitz logo on front have back and all 4 wheels) which is a real bargain (just check the prices on EBay :shock:)

I like 'Corsa' better than 'Barina' so that was my main motivation in getting them, as well as having something different that stands out.

I plan on doing some interior mods next (Irmscher stuff mostly, and maybe a small sub) and a new air filter and possibly exhaust. dazza15 has a new exhaust on his SRi so talk to him if you are interested in doing that.

oh, btw - welcome to the site :)

Cruises are cool - we don't go crazy and drive like maniacs.
Well you can if you want, but nobody expects you to do so :wink:

We meet up with nice clean cars, take photos, go for a drive, have lunch somewhere, and come back here to tell everyone else what a great day we had!

Don't worry we don't bite.

Ok my friend, here is what happens...

we all meet up at the meet-point, chat, get to meet eachother, take photo's etc, then we go for a nice relaxing drive along the cruise route thats pre-determined. This one in particular, we'll be having a bbq i think, so hopefully we'll get a lot of people turning up as its a day-cruise aswell.

Basically its a great chance to meet up with us so yeah... come along.
The roads on this one are difficult, but a good chance to test your car none-the-less.

I've just managed to spend more on my R/c car in the last week than I did on my SRI :lol:

I already own my sportscar,
unfortunately as stated above it's of the 1/10th scale :x

My04SRi
2nd April 2004, 01:57 PM
R/c Cars are mad fun!!! wat type do u have is it gas?

enj014
2nd April 2004, 03:22 PM
It's a Tamiya TA04 chasis (4wd),
540 (stock) engine, set up for road racing :D
sits mm's from the ground

Already done Mod's:
- full carbon fibre chasis
- fully ball-raced
- medium compound Tamiya rubber
- sport springs (hard fronts - medium rears)

Gas cars maybe faster,
but you have alot more feel for racing electric powered cars,
& as always in Cars,
the faster you want to go the more it costs :wink:

RC cars are bad news for the credit card!! I've been playing with them for about 10 years now, racing for 7 of those and I hate to think how much I've spent over the years on RC Car stuff.

Electric is better than gas, heaps of torque.

You electric guys can say what you want but gas does it for me :D
I've got a HPI with a .12ci (2.1cc) beast putting out 1.25hp @ 37000rpm !!
Nothing beats the sound of my little beast screaming at nearly 40 000 rpm 8)

check out www.novarossi.com (thats who makes my engine - mines a couple of years old now, they now have .12 engines putting out 1.6hp :shock: )
Some pretty cool stuff there - like a 3.5cc engine making over 2.8hp -

haha thats 805hp per litre :lol:

Altona boy eh? Now there's two people with street smart. I'm a Sunshine boy.
and don't be shy to come on these cruises, there's always someone to talk to, always someone to line you up, always someone to hold you back!
and the organisational skills i posses....well i won't be no CEO anytime soon. but atleast we're havin fun.

Yeah with Frank, we're definately having fun!
Honestly, dont worry if your not too experienced as a driver, or dont want to give some to your car, because we sensible drivers most of the time (we do have some fun here and there). Cruises are great fun. Why? Because you finally get to put a face to the name your talking to, get to go for a good drive, pretty much just have fun with a group of people sharing similar interests as you.

thats my 2c inc gst.

There is also something pretty sweet about a large amount of Astras and Corsa's and A Zafira in a line or driving like a swarm of bees on big Freeways.

Generally traffic moves aside for a large group of cars in a procession.
