Good news for Royal Nat. Park run (Sydney)

[Captjono]

Hey Guys,

Just thought some people might be interested...

I just had a run (when I say run...I mean drive!) through the Royal Nat. park today, and for the first part, I was complaining about the crapy road surface, and the fact that they will probably never be bothered to properly resurface it again.

Well...I was wrong!!! Much to my delight, a little furthur into the drive, I drove onto a rough section that looked as if it was in the process of being resurfaced, and then onto a section that has already been finished. It was awsome! Grip was AMAZING and very smooth! Hopefully they will resurface all the way back to Audley, and then it won't be a good drive...it will be a GREAT drive!

Looking forward to driving it again soon!

I propose a natio run when the road is finished... :D

I used to fang it through there in the lancer... and i always thought I was gonna roll the car... mightve just been the lancer's suspension tho :D haha

[sri guy]

i second that motion. i wanna go give my swaybar a good workout

[Tricky Ricky]

Correct me if I'm wrong but the toll is about $13 per car to drive thru the park?

[1OPL2C]

its free, just say your passing thru

[Gildo]

i say we have a 11 pm meet and go for natio run

[oneightoo]

i say we get there..

[Captjono]

Well, as soon as it is reserfaced more...I will let you all know! I drive through it once every couple of weeks (just for fun), so I'll keep you all posted.

And yer, you only have to pay if you are parking your car inside the park...which I never do. If you are just going through it is free!!!

[Mr T]

[SRi_Jimbo]

I probably got a bit excited too quickly ;)

I'm hoping to have my CAI in a couple of weeks...so i won't mind if its then either!!

[SRi_Jimbo]

[maloo97]

Yes indeed. Thought id Take the wagon for a drive I wanna put a little bit more kms on her as it's her 1st birthday next week odo reading as we speak 3987. bahaha :eek:

[SRi_Jimbo]

So should we set a date for a few weeks time? I havn't been on a crusie with you guys before, so i'm not too sure how you organise it...

[btm]

we should continue this in the NSW opelaus section

[SRi_Jimbo]

we should continue this in the NSW opelaus section

I think that i am signed up to that part of the site, but i'm not sure...i'm logged in, but i can't see any threads/topics to go into...assuming that the site isn't brand new.

I'm just clicking on the 'New South Wales Forum' link up the top left of this page.

[btm]

PM shaun - he will add you name to the list :)

[SRi_Jimbo]

thankyou!!

Just PM'd him then :)

[oneightoo]

sunday is fathers day also..

i have bbq'ing duties for lunch time..

any other weekend im so there..

[Captjono]

If we want to get a good run through the park, it will need to be either early morning, or late arvo/early evening.

Sunday during the day (as we all found out last time we ran through there) is terrible for traffic!

[oneightoo]

night time run or a dawn raid..

[SRi_Jimbo]

I'm up for either, as we can work a good photo with a sunrise or sunset with the cars all lined up :)

[oneightoo]

yeah and with my cally in there it will make the photo sooo much better hahahahahahaha :P

[SRi_Jimbo]

hahaha well we will just have to make this run happen for you to prove that!! lol :)

[oneightoo]

haha lets make it happen then..

how does october 7 or 8 sound? gem is down from qld that weekend..

also, im no longer sitting on 18 inches of chrome.. i went back to 17 inches of shadow chrome.. car drives soooo much better..

[SRi_Jimbo]

I'm deciding to stay with 17's as well...with the height of my car i think that i would miss cornering fast without scrubbing the guards hehe

I'm definitely up for it that weekend!! My car should be together by then as well with my new intake, exhaust, and hopefully my wheels will be in the country by then :)

MAKE WAY FOR THE OPEL INVASION!!

[oneightoo]

with 17's i look like a 4x4.. lol.. lowering will fix that..

[SRi_Jimbo]

with 17's i look like a 4x4.. lol.. lowering will fix that..

haha yeh mate definitely will. I only lowered my car last Sunday afternoon. I still am impressed every time i look at the guards!!

[btm]

i want to lower mine...

[SRi_Jimbo]

i want to lover mine...

go for it mate, if you install the springs yourself its not too expensive :)

[btm]

how much did the super lows lower yours jimbo?

[SRi_Jimbo]

I need to get around to take some pics for you guys...

I'm running the astra turbo 17's and the guards are at the top of the tyres. So i reckon that it dropped about 30mm's roughly

[SRi_Jimbo]

actually, here is an interesting pic for you....i only took it with my phone. The pic is of the front springs....the black ones are obviously the standard SRi springs and the yellow ones are the super lows...will give you a bit of an idea of what happened.

The rear springs on the other hand...there was a massive difference in size!!

[btm]

emily - you were with me on that smooth part - thats where jase lost his lancer, and just on that side road out of the smooth was where i dinged the protegé

[SRi_Jimbo]

did you do it yourself?

Yup, one of my mates helped me who knows a bit more about the mechanical side than me...so it gave us that extra bit of confidence and we hooked it up in an arvo :)

[maloo97]

Oh didn't think of fathers day spewin,

October is good for me, By then i should also have my car lowered too :D

[Shaun]

Interested.
