  1. If it's powerful and reliable as well as decent build quality it might win some decent fans that are not already attached to a brand too hard - either new drivers or those that are happy to swap badges. People like myself who love Fords tragically and don't like the idea of buying another brand will be harder to convince. I respect any car can can give me a run for my money down the drag strip, but that's just me. Has to be pretty special to want to buy one...I'd love a Dodge Hellcat or Demon. As for modding the Kia Stinger for more power - if the engine has decent power it might not have much left in terms of tune-ability if it's already at the pointy end of what the components can withstand. Time will possibly bring the goods though, as we saw with B series modded power levels increasing massively from 2002 to 2008! 300rwkw and 11 second quarters used to be impressive, now it's barely worth mentioning unless it's to someone that has never modified! Luckily an 11 second car still feels fairly impressive to passengers that haven't gone for a spin in a powerful car yet
  2. Brembo pad swaps are fast enough anyway it would only get annoying if you had to do it every weekend. Probably only take less than 5 minutes a side if you are organised. Failing that, as Arron said get a pad that does both! The HC800s were fine for daily driving just very dusty and harder on the rotors long term, and a bit of a squeak from them at low speeds.
  3. Oh man that would really annoy me. Does it really annoy you? Like really bad? Annoying.
  4. Just watched them again and still laughed even though it must be the 30th time. "What am I gonna do about MY LEGS EDDIE MURPHAYYYYYYYYYY!"
  5. “See, I never just did things just to do them. Come on, what am I gonna do? Just all of a sudden jump up and grind my feet on somebody's couch like it's...like it's something to do? Come on. I got a little more sense then that. ...Yeah, I remember grinding my feet on Eddie's couch.” Eddie: "Wow Rick really needs help man." Charlie: "Yo we just GAVE him some help!" Best
  6. Some of the best skits I've had the pleasure to watch (and re-watch) came from his stories!
  7. I don't because I never buy the paper. Pics? That's two ex police fleet cars up this way then.
  8. He's got a cat upgrade coming already, the factory pipes after the cat (cat back) will probably not help you getting 400 though being they are what, 2 x 2.25" still? Or are they larger twin pipes than the B series?
  9. The NS400s bite OK and have very low dust, decent street pad. I could imagine them not liking repeated heavy braking though. Can't have it all!
  10. See if you can import one of these
  11. I'm out this way about 2/3 of each day as it happens! There's also one more of us up here but I'll leave it a surprise for you. What colour is your FG? Any identifying features?
  12. Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww yeah Did someone say WA cruise time? Edit Pretty sure it was Rockatansky. Where we driving to?!?!?!
  13. He told me he uses them to splice wiring
  14. Needs moar axle stand angle. At least there's skids though.
  15. LOL so good Luke http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/BA-BF-Falcon-Heater-Hose-Tee-/282420326678? Also it popped in Luke's face at his joint before racewars, should have seen that hot green sh!t spray out lolololololololololol I was a couple meters away at the time so all was well. Ralphie had a spare plastic one so "we" fitted that and raced the car at 241km/h to test it out. @turboknapp also had a spare ally one which I kept in the glovebox all event just in case.
  16. 3 days I think, possibly. Worth it!
  17. The future's not set. There's no fate but what we make for ourselves. DUN-DUN, DUN DUN-DUN
  18. Would like to try a 'Stang now that you mention it...
  19. Hiring, not enough time off. Would have tried to organise a cruise otherwise, though people are welcome to convoy with me between cities!
  20. So I'll be heading to QLD at the end of this month and looks like I'll be driving from Brisbane to Bundaberg. Anything major I should stop past or drive through on the way? Might be doing it in the reverse order, unsure yet. Missus has a friend she'd like to visit who lives somewhere NW of Brissy so the more direct leg will only be done the once. Open to offers of fast cars to borrow for free while in the area too. I promise to bring it back scratch free, with cleaned wheel wells and a new set of Ling-Longs hahaha.
