  1. Agreed!, Sinclair Ford Penrith BTW.
  2. Yep sorry, gotta agree with you there. I've had them snap bolts off at the head and blame me for it! I'm like WTF!!!! It just went in for a service..........! And it's stock as a rock...
  3. Looks awesome! Just needs some SSL springs, then it'd be complete.

    Yeah, have to say that came out a'ight!
  5. Let me be the first to say Congrats!
  6. OK, well, I'm no expert on BOV's but the flutter sound is not made from your BOV, but rather from turbo compression, where air is forced back against the turbo impeller. Most BOV's simply make a "k'chssss" sound. I fitted mine with a whistle trumpet which was available from GFB for the Stealth FX. Which make a, yep, you guessed it, a whistle sound. (as long as your boosting 10psi) Actual audio files of the difference between the 2 can be downloaed at GFB.com.au I have actually run my Xr6 witout a BOV altogether, and yes.... you get the flutter sound. This is debateable as to whether or not it is good for your turbo... Do a search... At the end of the day, the flutter is made from the air being forced back against your turbo impellor as you shut off the gas. The "k'chsss" sound is made from the BOV. Factory BOV is fully "plumb back". Meaning it should be pretty much silent. Might give flutter sound, but should give no "k'chssss" sound! Most atmo venting BOV's sound the same. The only exception being the "blitz" BOV I think. Which makes a very high pitched whistle. Hope this helps.
  7. I also run the GFB stealth FX BOV on mine. As I'm a bit of a sucker for the sound too. But to be honest with you, I have it set to fully plumb back most of the time unless I feel like being a bit of a ricer. GFB, do however make a really good quality unit, and I fully recommend it if it's the path you want to go down.... Personally, looking back, I wished I'd now spent the money making the car go fast.... Not just sound fast..... As I'm sure you'll find out..... These BOV's aren't cheap! Just make sure you get the hose adaptors with it at the time of purcahse, and she'll bolt right on. (25mm from memory) Instant rice!
  8. Dunno if this is a repost, soz if it is. Been listening for a couple of hours already.... Pretty addictive.... http://speedy.akadns.info/streams/8000/sydneypolice.wax is the WMP version http://speedy.akadns.info/streams/8000/sydneypolice.ram is the realplayer version.
  9. Doesn't look real.... Just something about it.... dunno, Is it just me?

    I'm in two minds about this. On one hand, he knew what he was doing and we must pay for our actions in this world, and to think of the pain/hurt he could've caused so many...... On the other hand, locking him up forever would've achieved the same result IMO. Would the execution really act as a deterant to others? Or would it be forgotten about in 2 weeks time by the next idiot who tries move some drugs? I guarantee the Mother of the executed bas*ard won't have forgotten about it by then.....
  11. Soz, forgot to mention not to get caught up in the megapixel war. Just cos one camera is 7 megapixel and the other is 5, doesn't mean that one will take a better quality image than the other. This is basically just a good marketing tactic IMO......
  12. I recently picked up a Canon S2 IS. These are great cameras in the sense that they have many features and not a huge price tag. 12X (optical) zoom. (forget digital zoom as it's pretty much useless on any camera) 5mp, which is sufficient and it is also image stabilised, which is good for low light and anything with a decent zoom. It's got a 30fps 640 x 480 movie mode which looks as good as my mates new camcorder. You can also zoom and use image stabiliser during movie recording! Only major drawbacks are: The size. It's not what you'd call pocketable.... And the images get a bit noisy at high ISO, but you'll prolly find most non DSLR cams do cos of their small sensor. Anyhow, not a bad camera. Pretty good allrounder for times when I don't feel like lugging my 20d and equip with me. Checkout the review Canon review on dpreview.com my 2cents worth....... I don't work for Canon BTW.....
  13. I would need only the one, and this would be it...... As seen at the 2005 sydney motorshow....
  14. Rims on the left are the go IMO. Go the phat dish look. They will look smaller as another poster already pointed out, compared to the others. So I guess you'll just have to get the left ones in at LEAST 19 inch! Which ever you decide on, duddn't madda cos either one's gonna look nice.
  15. All I have to say is that Murphy has now confirmed what I long thought of him.... Cough... W@nka... cough.....
