Gordo Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Two weeks to go, can't wait to go through 5 tanks of 98 octain fuel, use up all the rubber left on my tyres and cover my nice shinny rims with $500.00 of brake dust , topped of with about 10 pub dinners, it's gonna be great.

620Z Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Yeah really looking forward to it now boys. We have Mick joining us for dinner at Stanley for the first night. Like I said last time down there. "I have never had a bad meal in Tassie. In fact all the dinners were excellent and I will order the same if I can". Ha Yes sadly will be wearing out some tyres and some brakes but it will be well worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Motec Screwdriver ECU Naps Manifold with K&H Air Filter Gareth's old school front spoiler MX5 Seats Should make his journey a smidge more fun!

Scoota G Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Mark, I notice that the throttle body is missing the TPS Yes do you happen to have a two wire one? That is the Mk1 screwdriver and there is no info on installing, tuning or any bloody thing else on this ecu. Instead of a tps it runs a vacuum hose straight to the ecu. Really, it does!

Gordo Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 I hope this won't give Dale an unfair advantage , cursing in to much luxury makes the other boys jealous . Air con ,powersteering,good driver ability, and comfy suspension .Are the serenity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoota G Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Hey it's not like you guys will be staying in 4 and 5 star accommodation only, it's backpackers and tent city so i here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
620Z Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 5 Star in Hobart $400- a night for a room but obviously we have some cheaper nights. The places we stay at are fantastic. Going to be one awesome trip. As you all know I have now booked our 3 hour Ocean Speed boat cruise off Port Arthur if the weather is good like last time it will be a memorable trip. I have attached a shot from out of accommodation window in Hobart and a shot of the last boat trip. 6 Days to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So once you pack the zed with a few spairs , luggage some food and bits and pieces, there is no room for a tent and camping gear.lol.

Um no he didn't ask but after my trip to Croatia late last year i wouldn't be able to afford it anyways. I certainly gearing up for the next one but. As for the accomodation i know how our man Craig rolls so i expected nothing but the best ( i do love ragging on him about it, what's the friggen point of getting a room with a massive spa when all you have is a bunch of guys around you) ooopps i've said too much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
