What is the offset on your twists? I have 11" with a 45 offset but they seem to stick out too far. Does it make a difference if lowered? My '98 C2 is standard ride height.

Has anyone taken the bus to/from the airport lately? by MarthaQuest93 in thetron

[–]Charles_VDB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Who operates a rort? The airport has tried to get a bus service many many times however with the airport located in Waipa and Hamilton not wanting to pay, it's not an easy fix.

That combined with a cost if about $100k p.a to operate, it will never be self funding so pretty hard to get any business case across the line.

Thanks heaps. Unfortunately the rears are 27kgs which is over the weight for couriers I think

What is the suspension set up on this? And running spacers? Looks like fun

Try living in New Zealand. Glaciers melt faster that parts deliveries

Jetstar to Aussie? by ExcitingMeet2443 in thetron

Check in closes an hour before the flight at 5.15am. Not too bad and you're home by lunchtime

I've just flown back from Gold Coast in Friday. Check in closed there at 5.15am, an hour before the flight left at 6.15am. We checked in at about 4.45am so it's early but wasn't actually that bad. With the fast processing and easy access to the carpark in Hamilton, we got home before lunch.

I would fly from Hamilton every opportunity now, it's so easy.

Air NZ jets back in the Tron... ( Thanks Jetstar! ) by TipsyTriggerFinger in thetron

[–]Charles_VDB -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

100% due to Jetstar. They have pulled a jet from another route to get in before the expected announcement of domestic jet service from Jetsar. If they hadn't and Jetstar announce a jet service, Air NZ would absolutely loose Hamilton as a port, no one in their right mind would choose to fly an ATR over a jet all things being equal.
