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!
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! _________________ Australian 2015 Featherweight champion

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 _________________ https://www.halfdonethings.com/

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

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

Go the Silvia With the amount of decent cars going to be at Robowars 3, we should hold a car show 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)
