[SYD] Coilover Extravaganza!

[The_Hawk]

If you need Mk5's I'll offer mine(If I have not moved interstate by then), but I will be choosing the people who drive it.

MK5 - Bilstein PSS10's

Are you saying you don't trust me?

[jayjay]

Hahaha Demil nah its OK hopefully good I keep adding things oin the list of todo things and also going away in 2 weeks for 2 months so that doesn't help Also with working 50-60 hours a week and then working at night sometimes a few hours a night doesn't help either

Will post some more pics of the weekends progress I have alot of things done since last postings

With a few weeks to go we need to pin down the location and the attendee list. So who coming to see whats what

Looks like we will be testing MK3 coils unless we get a few other common models.

So Sunday August 31 at a location yet to be decided. Get together and answer the question once and for all. Is it worth the money?


I would also call for suggestions on a location for a meet. I'm thinking one of the Dams like Warragamba or Avon or Napean or somewhere like Stanwell Park. We are not looking for a race track, rather just some average roads, but also somewhere we can drive in and out of easily without having to worry about parking or too many people around.

Warragamba isn't open to the public at the moment - it's a construction site (unless you mean the picnic area in the town).

As for the other Dams - the roads around them are rough but not very twisty. Also lots of "we hate people in cars" picnicers on the weekends.

True, any suggestions of alternative places that have both a bit of parking, a little bit of twisties or at least a little bit of road (without having to drive 30 minutes in a loop every time) and preferably away from houses so we don't "concern" the locals too much.

I keep thinking about the Southern Highlands... maybe the back of Picton, or the run between Tahmoor and Bargo, even if you base it at Avon dam in Bargo (or at the pub ) There is a kick arse fish and chip shop or I think there is a KFC at Tahmoor now...

It also leaves the Picton road for the drive in and out, which is always fun

One of the Southern Dams is closed to public as well...

Cataract is open - it's the one with the long driveway & the scout camp.

/google maps...... I think Avon is shut -which is a bugger because it has the most suitable road (twisty but low speed).

What about Broughton Pass?

[Golf Loon]

Any idea on location and dates yet? I have a Mk1 on Hottuning that would come for a flog

I`ll make Ibeezer come, he has KWs in the Beeza.

The cupra is on hottuning now, I might be able to make it to compare beezas!

[malteser]

This sounds like a really good idea. I'm willing to give my car up for a bit of scientific testing... I'm running KW V2's, with stock sized tyres and rims, the first thing I did to my car (apart from all of the repairs!), and it has been probably the best upgrade possible to the car.
I can't really say how they stack up against other coilovers, but I guess this is what we'll determine on the day.

[peedman]

I have koni's but the car dont move yet

[Mischa]

so is this happening? ill start the date discussion off by suggesting the 23rd of september

[DubSteve]

Even better sometime in November on the way down to Melbourne for DOVW along the great ocean road but thats only a suggestion

[Golf Houso]

What if you ... a ... don't have coilovers ...
