further to ahb11m's suggestion, i thought i'd start another thread to get some thoughts on a cruise around the GC.

i guess the best day for most would be saturday nights from say 9 or 10pm onwards.

so what weekend suits as many as possible??? mates in other cars welcome, but we need as many 323's as possible.

let me know your thoughts?

almost any saturday suits me, but mid november (say 15th on) would be best....

post your thoughts!

yay i had an idea!!!
closer to the end of november is better for me - simple problem i am driving up from sydney... not a bad drive, but a big one all the same!! 29th is a sweet one for me -

i'm keen, coz i'm hanging for a drive up north no real reason behind it yet until now!!!

alright, who wants to take their life in their hands and come with me? - or drive along side me? or am i the only nutter from sydney???

weeeee 1.6!

ok so to where exactly... shall we go meet at the end of the sea world point?? easy to park - easier to spot random protegés as well!

other wise i guess i could be boring and suggest to meet somewhere else.... i'm staying up there maybe till monday morning - we'll see unless someone wants to drive back with me on sunday - i'm easy either way - but would like to know soon, so i can organise a bed!!!

hell we could even go to a theme park! woot woot!!
actually second thoughts a better idea would be go the cavill cruise after meetup and then possibly go go-karting - there is a pretty good place at south port i know of at the showground

yeah i was thinking meeting somewhere pretty central where we could like fill up with fuel if need be and get some munchies, then head off through the coast....waddia think?

Snert

10-27-2003, 03:09 AM

Sounds good

what time are we talking ??? 9-10pm

doesnt this seem a bit late for some good cruising ???

used to go cruising from about 3pm onwards

but i am up for anytime

twilightprotege

10-27-2003, 03:45 AM

kurt we could meet somewhere on the southside and head on down the coast. would be good to get there by say 9pm...PM me if that sounds good and suggest a place we can meet

ahb11m, thought of any placed to meet up at the coast?

Snert

10-27-2003, 04:09 AM

well maybe we could meet up either south bank area or maybe a bit futhur down at garden city/mt gravatt

then hit gold coast - runaway bay or somewhere

twilightprotege

10-27-2003, 04:17 AM

southbank area sounds good - what about riverside terrace at west end? do you know the one?

i have to admit i havent been to the gold coast for a while on a drive, but there's that big parking lot opposite australia fair where heaps of cars meet, we could all catch up there?

Snert

10-27-2003, 04:21 AM

sounds good riverside drv, west end

i havent been to gold coast in a while either but i would guess aust fair still has a big car park

twilightprotege, will have to catch up before then to fitt the Injen CAI should arrive soon

twilightprotege

10-27-2003, 04:24 AM

yeah no worries. i'll take you for a drive in my car too! :D

my HID headlights have quite literally just arrived too!!!! (yay)

Snert

10-27-2003, 04:28 AM

what are the headlights worth ???

I was just think a set of artic blue bulbs from supercheap
how much better are they ???

twilightprotege

10-27-2003, 04:33 AM

the HID setup cost me $440aud something....they certainly arent cheap, but are much brighter than any halogen lights you can get - they are the ones you see on audi's, bmw etc...they last heaps longer too (they bloody better)

the artic blue ones are pretty good....i used to have them on my old civic and had no issues

Snert

10-27-2003, 04:37 AM

Well at $440 I guess it is a set of cheap ones for me atm

have you got anyone for performance exhusts ???

twilightprotege

10-27-2003, 04:42 AM

yeah, i cant remember the name because it's a place a mate of mine knows, but it's down at like yatala and they apparently do the best exhaust systems for nissan 200sx's etc, so i'm sure they'll be great for our lil car

ahb11m

10-29-2003, 05:15 AM

snert if ya want a cheap mod - go to powerbulbs.com
then order yourself some osram silverstars - they are truly brilliant for $45!!!

andrew - looks like i'll be trying out the new supension drop!!!! woot woot!! (unless i go with the states... damn so hard to choose!!)

now back on topic, i think i already suggested sea world, but australia fair is good....

i don't care where we go really, but i really can't be there until 6ish?? keep in mind i'm gonna be driving up from sydney!!

hmm maybe some one can pm me there mobile closer to the date, actually someone should be the head biatch on this - is it me or andrew?? and UHF is fine by everyone?? if not why not?? channel (sp)20 for the gold coast cruise

right back to planning my trip..

twilightprotege

10-29-2003, 05:34 AM

well i've got 2 little handheld uhf things...very small range, has channel 20 (yippy)

i can give snert my spare one so if you have one, that'll rock.

you can be lead on this one since you suggested it first. i assume snert is the same when i say this, but i'm sure we could be there at whatever time suits you. hell we've only gotta come from brisvegas

oh and ps - get the car dropped!!!!! :D

ahb11m

10-29-2003, 07:40 AM

yeah just that dropping thing, you got a damn good price on your eibachs, and i want some... getting that price is no problems, its getting them shppied that is the problem...

and serisously i don't want pedders stuff... i may consider king springs... grrr, too many options... too much money to throw around atm... bugger eh?

ahb11m

10-29-2003, 07:42 AM

haha, sure i'll be the leader!! i know the gold coast like i know brisbane!!!.... oh well i'll give it a go

yeah i'll definently need petrol when i get up there, hooray for the QLD government!!

twilightprotege

10-30-2003, 03:11 AM

yep, our petrol prices rock...

so i take it that means you dont know the gold coast well??? if you dont, i'll lead...it doesnt bother me

twilightprotege

10-30-2003, 11:49 PM

looks like we have another cruise participant and maybe 2... birdy85 pm'd me and said he'll probably come along and he has a friend who just got a SP20 for his birthday (b@stard) that might be interested as well.

looking good :D
