Auckland Meet 19.2.06

[dreamer]

Nah, if I have the cash for gas at the time ill use it. If I wanted to save gas I would have bought a different car

Right on.

[KiwiTT]

I believe, the route we will go to Piha, will be

Greenlane -> Motorway -> Western Motorway -> Gt North Road -> Ash Street -> Rata Street -> Titirangi Road -> Piha Road.

If anyone knows a good big carpark on or near that route we can pause at to catch some stragglers or westies, let me know.

[ShadyNZer]

how far is piha again?

[KiwiTT]

I think around 20km from Titirangi

Maybe you all might want to consider carrying on down the north western to Lincoln road, onto henderson valley, and along Mountain road to the other side of scenic drive???

Would take a bit longer from town, but the road is a whole lot more exciting, more tight stuff, and less public (ie: i saw one car in my last two trips).

I go that way from out west, just for the fun of it, grab a map and tell me what you think. But the route mentioned in the posts above is the normal way everyone else usually gets to piha.

Also you could have a stop in the big warehouse carpark on lincoln road, would be good for me, and people on the shore.

[NAUSED]

this is going to be huge

[bluey]

yeah!!!!!!
come out west............
don't go left at the bottom of the hill,
my car too low and can't make it over the speed bumps!!!!!!
keep going st8 and park on the grass! Past the camping grounds

need a vacant place to stop, Warehouse packed usually - King Dicks is in same complex and well us westies like the odd drink or two hundy.....
old Pak n Save - on Lincoln. Not many cars in there and on the way - and everyone can see!!!!! hehehee

[bradc]

the Pak n Save on Lincoln road could be a good place to meet, very easy to sell all the cars lined up from the road.

[KiwiTT]

Can some one update the route from Green Lane.

e.g. greenlane -> motorway -> western motorway -> .... > lincoln Rd

[mpau009]

[QUOTE=KiwiTT]Can some one update the route from Green Lane.

e.g. greenlane -> motorway -> western motorway -> .... > lincoln Rd (meet somewhere?? paknsave??)> left, Great North Rd > Right, Henderson Valley Rd > runs into Mountain Rd > Left, Scenic Drive > Right, Piha Rd...

Thats the route i was talking about earlier, feel free to edit.

BTW Someone might want to add some times to leave as well...

[maori_by_nature]

ok so me(+ 2 other vr4's mabey if they got cash) shady and osirs meeting at botny followd by dreamer and bradc c as well on there way up from bombay then on 2 greenlane..... any1 else meeting up with these 2 groups b4 greenlane? are we still leaving from greenlane @11? if so botny meet@ 10.30...???

[bradc]

Thats about it, then we meet at pak n svae on lincoln rd, then go to piha?

[mpau009]

Yep, just need the people from the south to tell us a time for everyone to gather at paknsave. I would expect you to be there from green lane around 11:30 ifyou leave around 11 *(and obey the speed limits ) so should we make it 12 to allow for the stragglers?

[maori_by_nature]

sounds good 2 me

[KiwiTT]

Deaprt 12 noon to Piha from PaknSave.

[Xeroid]

If anyone has got a factory airbox and filter they want to get rid of for a reasonable sum could they bring it along, this pod is sucking too much hot air buried back in the engine bay.
Let us know .....
Cheers

[bradc]

Xeriod, I'll have one in a few weeks once I get my custom airfilter setup, as well as a whole lot of other stock things like intercooler, stock fuel pump, etc. My filter is quite old though, you'd want to change that to the replacement K&N (or other aftermarket) panel filter that fits straight into the cold air box.

Or you could just buy a bonnet like me

[i3ooyah]

you painted that bonnet you brad?

i'll b able to come to one of the meetpoints, got work

[bradc]

booyah, I'm getting the whole car painted, I should have the ECU in there for the piha meet, and hopefully it will be painted by the dyno day. I might just swap the stock bonnet back on this weekend.

[Munta]

if i have the $ i mite come up for a cruise from tauranga and meet up. just gota see how $ is on the weekend. if im bored ill proly just fill my leggy up with a few mates and every1 can chip in for gas makes it cheaper for me that way
