Newcastle meet and greet????

im in providing its not TOO expensive. 120Kw FTW!!

Good stuff

I like this idea. You have my interest.

Well i did an independant dyno run there in November and it was $110 for x3 power runs and printout of the best run. I havent made any group dyno day enquiries with them yet, but im sure we can get the price down a bit - perhaps $80 bucks each or something? The price will probably also vary a bit depending on how many cars we can get - utimately it would be good to have 6-10 cars to make it worthwhile.

I am back on the fence. There has been an idea of making a weekend out of the dyno day in April, then the drag day on the Sunday. I may opt for this.

I would be interested in a a couple of Dyno runs.

No worries - i just saw that thread. Perhaps thats a better idea.

Lets see if i can get anymore interest. Would need at least 5 people i would think to make it worthwhile.

On a slightly different note, who do you guys use for servicing? My car is due for its first 12month service (despite the fact its only travelled 7,500km and i did an oil change at 5,000km). I definetly WONT be taking the car back to Kloster VW as their service dept are utterly useless. My bother works at Skoda/Audi (same owner so he shifts between the two dealerships) and he got me a quote for $340 to get it serviced at Audi. At this point in time ill probably go with this option.

But i know European Auto Centre at Wickham also do log book servicing, its just that ive heard both good and bad reports about them.

Anywhere else around Newcastle that does Euro's and treats them with respect? Who do you guys trust with your pride n joy?

[HaydEn]

Most people use European auto centre as he is good. Not sure of anyone else in Newcastle as good

[jamie88]

im gonna let euro auto centre do my timing belt.. should be fun haha,

I'm moving to Cooks Hill on April 10, give or take.

Another R to be kicking around the local area.

Not a bad place to end up Andrew haha

Work? Who for?

Lucas, I'd give Audi a go for sure. Especially at that price.

Yeah, I like it. Toss up between there and Merewether for me after spending some time in the area. If I like it I'll buy in the area next year.

I work for a small urban design company based in Gosford, but we are looking at expanding into the Newcastle market to give the local boys a bit of a shakeup. Doing a fair bit of work for some mining companies as well.

I like Adamstown as a suburb, to me has a bit of character to it.

Only problem with mereweather, is That you'll be buying new elctricals every year due to rust..

Doing a big new development in Adamstown at the moment. Still in the arguing with Council stage...

But yeah, if I was buying I'd look Adamstown and places like that instead. As I'm a poxy renter because I don't know whether I like the place yet I decided to go Cooks Hill as it's most like where I am now.

Good stuff Andrew. Welcome to Newe....

And cheers to y'all for info on the service centres. I might give European Car Centre a call (or swing past) to get a feel for them - otherwise ill go with Audi. Im a fussy mother fuc^ker so they better be top notch.

[jamie88]

if i spent 60k on a car id be a fussy mother**ker too

[Lucas_R]

Exactly - although even if it was a $2,000 car id still be fussy. You cant put a value on good service...if you can find it, then stick with it. Im still trying to find it.....
