YAY! I'll be mailing this out:

New event is ON! We're going to Hartebeespoort on the 2nd of September 2007 (that is this coming Sunday). The destination is Stone's (located in the Xanadu Shopping Centre in Harties) where we will be treated to a complimentary meal. Provision is made for 20 cars, SO PLEASE get the hell out there and let us show some good style. With the sx's of course. There will be pool tables, big screen, cocktail bar and regular bar. Unfortunately they were not very clear on the terms and conditions of the complimentary meal, so bring some money *just in case* and for drinks. Also, feel free to bring family or friends in your SX. Nuren, you can bring your bike 🙂

The plan for the day is as follows:
- We have a secondary meetup point for guys from the East Rand and Mpumalanga - this is optional, you guys must please chat on this thread (http://200sx.za.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=1149) to arrange this:

Meet up at EAST GATE SHOPPING MALL at 10AM, on the roof parking (from Bruma flea market, take ramp over highway to East gate, and park on the left. Those from the N12 highway, go straight over Gilooly's, then take the East Gate offramp, drive around the front of the mall, then take the spiral ramp to the roof parking on the left, once at the top turn left, then immediate right and park there). Leave there at 10:15AM and drive back towards N12 east, then take the N3 Pretoria offramp, then take N1 Pretoria at Buccleau till you get to primary meeting place. Note that I don't suggest meeting at Ceasars as you will find it more difficult to get to the primary meeting place. If anyone is late and misses this meetup, they can move on to the primary meetup directly.

- The primary meeting place is at the Shell Ultra City in Midrand, on the N1 north side (going towards Pretoria). We are meeting there at 10:30AM. I hope all the guys from Joburg, Randburg, Midrand and Pretoria will meet up here, along with the guys from East rand & Mpumalanga. We will endeavour to leave at 10:45AM, or 11AM the latest.

- We will then drive along the R28 Krugersdorp highway, till we get to the R511 offramp, then we will take the R511 all the way into Hartebeespoort. I must warn you that some parts of this road is in terrible condition and it is advisable that you have good tires and a good spare tire. The guys from Randburg who don't want to drive out to Midrand can meet us at this offramp if you wish, but we won't be stopping here (plus it's not a safe place to wait) so phone us to find out where we are and maybe you can catch up to us!

- Once we get into Hartebeespoort, hopefully Jaco will meet us at the first or second robot - somewhere where there is space for all of us to park if we have to wait, but hopefully like the last time, we can just keep going and Jaco will show us how to get to the final destination.

As always, please refer to the cellphone application for any last minute changes to the plan, or call me or Freddie (ChemCool) - our number is on the cellphone application. Please save and dial *120*444*2000# for the 200SX cellphone application and make sure you keep it in your phonebook for reference on the day.

Here's to hoping for a record crowd - we have 14 SX's to beat! Infact that time it was 14 S13's! Let's get some S14's in the mix, shall we? And Vlade, PLEASE don't tell Silvia about this event - she gets very nervous about events, rather surprise her when she gets there!

TThe Calibrator29 Aug 2007, 19:42

TTobyadmin29 Aug 2007, 19:56

Fraking whole turbo fell apart, I just hope there aint no damage, all 4 bolts on the exhaust housing came loose, the core and the compressor side were off set to the one side with about 3/5mm just hope the wheel didn't touch the housing Idiots at Turbo Exchange never used locktight on the bolts.

It runs, but I idled home from Santon was at the testing station getting my booking for my bike learners when it happened.

Heard your actuator also fell off or nearly did.

yup the two bolts came off, noticed it luckily.

CCharl31 Aug 2007, 08:18

I think ill be coming, ive just got tempermental water hoses at the moment, their all perrishing one by one. Jon, if you can call between 12:15 and 13:00 we can see how to arrange transport.

Im also just scared with the rough road, low profiles and rock hard suspension, no spare... 🙄

I work in midrand so just wondering who else is here in their sx, iv seen a red one floating around and yesterday a black one with a supra like wing on it 8)

and vlade, ive got the stock turbo off the engine i just bought, don't know the condition of it, havn't really looked at it, but if you'd like you can have a look at it for temporary measures

VVladeadmin31 Aug 2007, 08:44

thanks... Mine should be fine, don't think anything happened with it, it just got loose.

vveecee31 Aug 2007, 09:32

i'll be there. midrand at 10:30. i'm in.

BUT- i've also got no spare, rock hard suspension and very low ride height.

is there not a better road to choose to get to harties???

whats the tally at so far toby?

TTobyadmin31 Aug 2007, 09:37

Don;t know what the tally is 🙁 Unfortunately this is about the best way there. Taking the N4 means driving through pretoria which can be a pain when you have a long tail of cars following you. Plus you gotta pay toll fees. All other routes have some bad road (remember December last year when Snooby blew a tire?). We'll just take it easy, it's a short stretch of bad road, and the road is like a roller coaster, so it's fun! 🙂

For those that don't have spares, maybe consider getting those tyre weld jobbies that you just spray into the tyre.
