  1. Moite, why get pod filters when in the western subz you can fill up on boost at da pumpz bro!
  2. top work mate, I am a huge wiki fan. Some articles I have contributed to: TISM You Am I Tim Rogers Turbonegro Victoria Bitter Will be adding chunks to yours as well!
  3. how could quad pipes ever have a detrimental effect on performance or aesthetics! I don't surpose you could get the pagani zonda pipes?!
  4. Meh come and show them why if the japanese had ford falcon taxis to buy from the junkyards, they'd never drift silvias!
  5. Ahhhhhh, Bill Hicks...There is a man who is sorely missed. No one knows what it's like...To be a dustbin...In shaftsbury....with Hooligans Lumpy <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yes you live in hobbiton and I am Bill-bo-Hicks. . . .! Bill-ze-bub!
  6. Nice... I love the sig's here... always good for a laugh!! Good work Jack <{POST_SNAPBACK}> bugger I just changed it! I wanna get a good rotation of 'lock stock' quotes in there. But yes it's very true. As Bill Hicks used to say: [george hw bush impression] er Irag have incredible weapons. Incredible weapons! [hicks] how do you know? [george hw bush] er we checked the receipt. But as soon as that cheque clears, we're going in!
  7. Mate, there should be about 12 vacancies on each day so you should be right anyway. Having any more than that would simply be unfeasible as you'd get about 5 minutes on the skid pan each. But have a chat to Kevin Flynn and see what you can work out. 0413 540 197. Best of luck.
  8. Hey fellas. For those of you who would like to get yer backside sideways on Melbourne's very own skid pan. It's in Attwood about 10 minutes from the Melb Airport. You'll learn shvt tins about sliding and have heaps of fun doing it too. dates: saturday and sunday the 25/26th of Feb cost $120 for 4 hours of slideways goodness. Last one we did, we had my t there and yoda's 300kw jobbie. He ended up sliding pretty well by the end of it. There was also a dorifto spec 180sx and we usually get the import contingent en masse. So we need more xr6ts to show em what sliding is all about. For more info http://driverdynamics.com/skidpan.php contact details are on the above link
  9. good to see mate. Good to see!
  10. xr8 old mans car xr6t young mans car Simple! Especially in larger fleets, it's always the old baby boomers who get the xr8 because they don't trust this new fangled technology and are too scared of what their mates might think. So keep the buldge in your pants and not your bonnet! It should come with a free bottle of Just For Men and a Cold Chisel tape. That and the fact that the v8 is bits of several US truck engines and the turbo 6 is for all intents, all oz. Im sure you guys remember the reason why, but my North American buddies can't work out for the life of them, why we didn't get the Mustang SVT v8! That alone puts me off the v8.
  11. Heh most older japanese imports come from the country where cars go to die. On heaps of import yards web sites, you see many of the cars are all but dumped in paddocks in Hokkaido or Okinawa or some wayward part of shizuoka, where the tax is a lot more lenient on older cars. So your basically buying some crap that's been rotting around for years or some uni students have drifted the absolute crap out of. So yes they're shocking quality! Of course the ultimate irony is that japan imports v8 Expensive Daewoo utes www.holden.co.jp. Why not the xr6t ute and the pursuit!
  12. Pretty damn easily. Heads, cam, exhaust, CAI and edit. Idles very well, pulls 6th gear from 50km/h on the flat, and still gets 9l/100km freeway cruising. People bag the LS1 but it's a very easy engine to get big power out of. Look at Street Tuners 7psi single turbo kit, getting 355rwkw on a stock LS1. And the LS2 is much better. I'd love to see how well an XR8 would go with the LS2 rather than the breathless 5.4 <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Somehow chevy v8 small blocks defy all laws of common sense. Pushrods and two valves per cylinder for example. But I am loathed to admit for a 40-50 yo engine, it mods up rather well and puts some turbos to shame in modability just because half the chevy gene pool has them.
  13. Monaros have no boot and go great with a receding hair line if you're a baby boomer. Also the fact that in the commodores most basic form, it's positively agricultural after a year. Ford has a little more refinement. To a large extent, I don't think it's too subjective either. Look at the centre console in a t and then compare it with an ss or a monaro and the choice is obvious. Ford gives you a much better car for your money.
  14. This is why I used the "I had a mate" clause in my reply. Kinda similar to the fifth amendmant in the US. but seriously is $6K on the money?
  15. 300 ks a tank? Bloody corolla drivers. Ok so I get about 350 kays tank. I must be a bloody lefty pinko
