hehe sweet

I know a car that can take a turn like it at 80! an mr2! go mid engine! oh yeah! hehe

I updated the thread title and first message to reflect the fact that this is not just a NSW road trip anymore, go Aaron! Cool

btw if you need a place to stay in sydney each way then I have heaps of room, plus I owe you for those drill packs!

That's strange, my stock X19 did 140 without sweating (that was a few years ago now) sounds like yours needs some attention. Love that suspension!

I'll pick up a small UHF hand held next time I'm in town. When do we plan on leaving for this road trip? I'll probably have to leave a day or two earlier to meet you guys in Sydney. Another thing, what's everybody roughly getting distance wise out of a tank of petrol, we could probably work out some places we can pull up and stuff without all seperating.

I'm getting about 550km out of a tank in the Silvia right now, damn auto scuzzles fuel in town.... Road trip is gonna be sooooooooo sweeeeetttttt Razz

I get about the same from the mr2, depending on how I drive Razz

On the open road in the mr2 I get more like 700kms, but it depends a lot on the speed you travel, but if we are convoying we are unlikley to be sitting at 140kmh + Razz

If my 260Z is going by then I'll drive it down, otherwise I'm up for driving an X1-9 down for sure Smile

I always wanted one of those...

Piffle to all your 80km/h cornering action, my Silvia used to do the corkscrew onto the harbour bridge at 110 Smile

Go the Silvia Razz With the amount of decent cars going to be at Robowars 3, we should hold a car show Cool Just a rough count off the top of my head, we have the following cars:

2 x Silvia's (George's and Mine)
1 x MR2 (Prong's)
1 x 260Z (Dumhed's)
1 x Vannette (Nick's **I saw a Tarago at Autosalon, so a Venette can't be any worse...**)
2 x Chargers (Brett's and Gary's)
1 x Corolla (Neweyn's Corolla with a holden motor in it)
1 x Berlina (Andrew's Berlina has a solar panel on it, 2 batteries in the back with an inverter to run the PS2 for the kids)

And I'm sure I'm missing quite a few more Razz
