or not. same engine or not, the volvo has a different chassis, one which is designed to take the fwd or awd drivetrain. someone correct me if im wrong, but I dont think the focus chassis has the appropriate design (trans tunnel, mounting points, rear suspoension design) to be able to take the awd system.

I thought I cancelled the first "new topic" I started (photos were too big in size, so I made them smaller and made started a new "new topic" (with more photos), but it added it anyway. and no, theres nothing that hasn't been re-painted or chromed.

were you able to bludgen the cabbie to death? if so, pics!

← Where are you located ← sydney mate, a wee while away from you.

Sorry about the pics but there from my phone. The motor is just to pass the pits. He has layed down $20000 for a 800Hp motor coming soon. All the interior is all new and original and undernieth is either chrome or powdercoat. He didnt like paint much. Cheers Adrian ← that looks sensational. love the blue. this has taken us a bit over 6 years working on and off and needs to be finished by next april cause its my wedding car.

the xp on the wall was the hilliers brothers. everyone needs a little inspiration on the wall

just thought a few would like these pics. the cars coming along nicely. anyone else out there throwing together an oldy?

damn. I really was hoping he was dead or seriously injured, so I wouldnt have to see his pitiful race efforts every 2 weeks.

Looks like a Lynx to me ← seeing they are sitting in a mustang, and the group is probably called the mustangs (sounds feasable for a cheerleeding group) could the animal in the background be a..... mustang?

New colours: Ego: dark gun-metal grey metallic. Neo: much like blueprint, slightly lighter. Seduce: darker maroon-type metallic. Wired: tan-sunburnt type colour. Octane: mustard yellow, much like the old colour on xa-xb-xc falcons (see pic below).

would of hated to be in any seat.

the funny thing is they had a "heated debate", but they still need to lobby the government who could just reject it. councils have nothing better to do. me no care. me dont live there.

Sh1t. When my balls dropped I started looking at girls. ← you waited till your balls dropped? first car: 84 vk commo (6 cyl) - still have a soft spot. second car: 94 vr commo (6 cyl) - never had a mechanical issue. third car: the turb. more mechanical issues than both previous cars put together but you get that with 300kw. and I LOVE IT.

what he said

that's not a spoiler. its the new free ironing board.

im sure they'll do a good job... but imagine the expence

hate to burst your bubble, but our recent korean visitors admitted (and were genuinely embarrased) that koreans and taiwanese also eat whale meat. in fact the korean harbour they lived at is one of the bigger whaling harbours.

is there a way to download this video?. good video, when 'racing men' were 'men'. I get the feeling todays racers wouldn't run towards a burning car to help another driver. might burn their nail polish.

im insured through shannons, and havent had an "issue" yet, so cant tell you how they are when it comes to the crunch (bad pun!). but I was with nrma until they brought in thier new system of fixing cars, and I was paying 1650 a year (24 year old, western sydney, maximum no claim bonus, no at-fault claims, insured under business use). when my renewal came up I explained that I was told last time I needed business use, but I now realised I didnt so I wanted to change back to private use. they said no problem, price now up to 1750. WTF! bugger off! went to shannons - same price, choice of repairer, allowance for 1 new windscreen per year, and added my xy falcon (valued at 25k) on to the policy for 450. a bit over 2k pear year and ive got both cars insured for the agreed amount I want and choice of repairer (and if you have at least half a brain cell and love your car, you want to be able to choose your repairer). im happy with them, but as I said, I havent had to deal with them in regards to claims yet.

I like. looks aggresive. thumbs up from me.

Tell your mate to read the instruction manual. It's a very simple process to put it valet mode, or switch off the anti-hijack feature. I have this in both my Sti's, and never had an issue with it. I'd rather have it than not have it. Brian ← cheers, brian, I'll tell him

why dont you line the garage with a removable ceiling over where the car is. and I dont have a garage or carport so mines out in the cold!.

its a good system at a time like this, but its a pain in the arrrssse every other time. mates got the system in his rex, and if he wants to start the engine then get out to look in the engine bay, he climbs out the window, dukes of hazzard style!.
