Dyno Day
So it was dyno day today. Unfortunately I got there just after Pete, and Chuck had run their cars....bit strange weather today too.
Chuck ran a very impressive 91.4 KW and Pete 79 KW. hehehe...and chuck.... I think you're running out of ways to lighten your car  there were also 2 other vtir civics...one ran 90KW - just had exhaust, and the other 95 I believe. Too bad about the SIR badge though  I didn't dyno my car, but perhaps next time. It rained a bit here, and there, so the BBQ didn't get going much. The highlight of the day was probably the two commodores that ran....the red one, had to be strapped down with bolts, and 2 big blokes in the boot...and pulled a impressive 354KW  hahaha....and the funniest car to run, was the VW bug, which pulled a massive 25KW :hehehe: (probably still faster then you huh tannee - just kidding)

Chuck had to go to work...however Pete and I decided to take the cars for a bit of a drive.... Unfortunately Deb couldn't join us today because of a bad toothache, however after speaking to her, she said weather was bad out her way, so we decided to avoid the mountains....and head south.
So.. we went back through stacey street, back through menai, and onto heathcote rd. forgot to mention these P platers in a lancer we encountered near lidcombe...driving fast slow...fast slow.... they pulled up on one side next to me, and Pete pulled up the other...I smiled at Pete, and thought gotta teach these kids a lesson. Light went green, I was off, bit of wheel spin, however I nailed them on first, and started backing off when I got to about 90. Pete didn't realise we were running, and by the time he had traction, he caught the lancer in 2nd. I laughed as we got to Bankstown, the lancer went past...and I saw a look back in appreciation oh, and then this horrible ricey del sol went past.... all you could hear was exhaust, and see big chrome wheels, altezzas, and a big chrome bit on the back of the car....yuck. hehehe...although Pete also reckons I got him stuck behind a camry on purpose...honest I didn't next when we got to heathcote, this camry went from the right lane, to the left lane and pulled up at the set of lights I wasn't going to risk a camry getting infront, so I lost him at the lights...

next through to waterfall, and we turned off and headed through the national park....
this was a great run today...although bumpy in some sections, and my suspension was getting a workout...we were averaging about 110km most of the time, and having good fun with the corners... at one section, on the left near this bend were a few cars parked, and this lady getting stuff out of the back of a station wagon....I swear we scared the crap out of her, as we were coming around the bend full speed onto the recently resurfaced part, which was real smooth, and finally out to the final hairpin... bit quick my turn in, and screeched around a bit stopped at stanwell park....and got out of the car... you could smell the "burnt rubber" smell off the tyres...hehehe

after letting the tyres cool a little, we headed down lawrence henry drive, along the coastline to wollongong. I let pete lead this time, we caught behind some traffic unfortunately, and finallly got to wollongong, headed past south beach to check out if any cars were about...
a few wrx's, and rx7's, a porsche, and a nice celica. Parked near my unit, and then had some coffee. After this we headed south....along the nice SMOOTH roads to Barrack Point....real nice spot.

As we were just passing windang bridge, I pulled up behind a Nissan Pulsar SSS with number plates "BIZAR" tiger orange coloured, and Pete pulled up behind a GL....light went green.... and we had to tail these two, cause they were driving slow....
got past them, and the next light was red. The pulsar pulled up the inside lane...and I thought....hmmm....he wants to have a go. Lights went green...my wheels are spinning not getting that much traction....change to second, and I realise the pulsar is miles back, and Pete has to pull in behind me cause of the turning lane... the pulsar decides to pull on inside lane again....I thought hmm....wants another go huh? lights green...lots of wheel spin...I can hear his, as well as mine....and even though I'm not getting that much traction...I still beat him by miles...as I change into 2nd....REAL BIZARRE he had so much trouble just keeping up on 1st....the other civic was pretty disappointing too....lost him real easy After that, was driving along, and got to another red light, and Pete pulled up beside me, even though I was going to originally turn left there, and I wound the window down and said hey you wanna run.

as I was saying that....light went green....
real bad launch for me....wheels were spinning like crazy, and starting to lose it a little, steering inside, so I backed off a little and changed, was ahead about a car length, and changed however bend coming up, and I knew the lane merges...so pete was catching up...but I didn't want to risk it, so backed off a little...then I realised we got up to about 120 on a 70 road, and its like ok....better slow down now got to barrack point...was real nice, and lots of stars out... after that headed back out to the freeway, and off at Picton rd to head back to sydney. After turning into Picton rd...hehehe...there is this really nice bend...and yeah....Pete...I disappeared for a while there huh

Great run around the bend at about 140k - 150k...passed this commodore, and then slowed down, so pete could catch up
rest of picton rd, was a pretty good run...mostly driving about 120k, apart from where the overtaking lanes were, and when we overtook a truck....got up to about 170k... unfortunately got caught behind a CAMRY! doing 80k...who were switching their high beams on and off....real bad drivers but got past them soon after...thank god for that and then turned back onto the hume hwy...and drove averaged 130k all the way back to liverpool...hmmmm....most people getting out of my way when they saw me coming up behind A very good days drive.... ok I'm so tired now but great fun..and nice to meet you Chuck

SiR at full song - 8000rpm and some bastard reckoned he couldn't hear the VTEC kick in - prolly 'cause he has never heard of refinement

hehehehe....the main reason he probably couldn't hear the vtec....is cause his exhaust and lack of sound proofing....have made him a little hard of hearing

 Of course, it was nice to see that frankenstein's monster wasn't king of the Hondas
