Hey Guys

Maybe long bay or perhaps even south? Like Kawakawa bay area

Ryan

Like Kawakawa bay area

Think that's where we held the last one... many moons ago now. I'd vote Long Bay personally unless there are other suggested options?

The fiance has agreed to a V6/V8 run sometime near the end of October - I'll find out when exactly first, as I would be quite keen to come for a cruise as long as it doesn't conflict :P

Ryan

What time do you have planned for this meet? Reason I ask is that I'm going to be otherwise occupied until about midday in West Auckland (thank goodness for that new west -> north motorway).

Not that I'm expecting the event to suit my own timings but 1500 sounds a bit late, some of us have to drive back to Whangarei :p

10-10-2012, 05:22 AM
lol i dont mind, what time suits you best?

Ryan
10-10-2012, 08:39 AM
Personally? Anytime after midday - will be coming from Riverside, so 1300-1330? That's just me though, what do the others think? Gly wintertidenz OnBoost! Subaru ETA 90blackvr4

wintertidenz
10-10-2012, 09:13 AM
Yup that works for me. The other cruise is on the 21st, so I'm in. I've gotta come from Mt Wellington, so maybe those of us out south can meet up at Greenlane and cruise up around midday?

roryfromnz
10-10-2012, 09:16 AM
i dont mind heading down to greenlane for midday then driving up :-D

Subaru ETA
10-10-2012, 12:27 PM
Voted 28th. I'm working from 2:30pm in Greenlane, so I'm voting on the assumption the meeting point will be countdown carpark Greenlane. I'll come and show you guys what a real exhaust note sounds like haha

Mind you, they could be wrong... today it has Whangarei listed as sunny and clear meanwhile it's been overcast since I got up this morning.

Ryan
25-10-2012, 05:19 AM
Hmm, by the time I've finished at the range, it'd be best if I skipped Greenlane and head straight to Long Bay. Will get there around 1330.

roryfromnz
25-10-2012, 09:52 AM

Ryan

Pity I couldn't make Long Bay as it looks like a White Power meeting or something, haha. Good to put some names to faces, everyone seemed quite pleasant too which is always a bonus. :D

Glad everyone made it home without attracting any attention from the 5-0.

29-10-2012, 12:35 AM
It was quite interesting to see how different everyones car is, considering they were originally all made pretty much the same! :-)

Didn't realise there was someone else from whangarei here. Myself and 3 legnums (one being a super) are driving out to Matapouri tomorrow for beers/photos if you're keen.

Hey mate, thanks for the invite - are you in Friday mode already or do you mean Saturday? I'm in Auckland for most of the day tomorrow for work unfortunately but... if you mean Saturday, what time did you have in mind as I possibly have plans.

Yeah it's looking great, what time did you have in mind? More than likely won't make it - particularly as there is cricket on in Aus which starts this arvo :)

Leaving onerahi at 12, will drive through centre of town and then tiki/glenbervie road out to the beach. Too bad if you can't make it, I'm out numbered against the legnums :/
What colour is your galant?

Hey Josh - didn't make it, as you can tell. Got back from Auckland late this afternoon by which time only cricket was on my mind :P I have a black manual Galant, lowered with Evo 9 wheels.

Fair enough, you missed a good day in the sun though. Nice, I'll have to keep an eye out, as I don't believe I've seen it yet. I've got a silver manual thats on the very loud side, with god knows what kind of wheels they are and needs to be lowered pronto. So very jealous that you got a black vr4.

Yes it is lol, also can you or anyone tell me why the rear lips are different?

Cause its a super? lol they came out with a different body kit

Ryan

Do you mean lips as in rear spoiler? If so, what Reece said... they're different (viz. "super"). By the way, this is what my car looks like minus the VR-4 stickers (removed all non factory stickers... hate stickers *shivers*). It is not quite that clean at the moment though, hahaha - but that'll change tomorrow with my wash / claybar mission.

I guessed that, but only noticed when I uploaded the pic that they were different.

I was referring to the bumper lip. Damn thats a nice example, the paint looks really good. I used a clay bar today, it feels smooth, though my paintwork isn't that great that I didn't notice a difference in appearance. :/

There are a couple of other differences too - should have a red/black Momo steering wheel, same colour handbrake, carbon effect dash and surround, silver gear shift surround and silver garnish on rear bootlid (legnum). Headlights have silver / red backgrounds and then there's the canards at the front too... IMHO the money could have spent generating a Subaru "super", the Tommy something or other which was a 2.2L as opposed to a 2.0L etc etc.

Has purply kind dash thing going on too.

ReMiiXxX
09-11-2012, 08:03 PM
I only noticed that the rear bumper lip was different, I did already know it was a super lol. Yesterday I had a hard time keeping up with the legnum around the corners with its bilstein suspension, though I had him on the straights.
