  1. Well Done Guys! Great Effort! A 10 second Typhoon!
  2. Sorry Guys, would have loved to make it but there's too much going on at work. Maybe next year.
  3. I owned a Hyundai Tiburon for three years. Great package overall. Not one single complaint about it & not one warranty claim. Hyundai service was very good compared to Fraud. I drove my aunties excel once and said I'd never buy a Hyundai then three years later looking for a car ended up buying a Tiburon for a run around. It has always rated very highly compared to the Honda integra and toyota celica. I had so many great remarks on the road. Not many people could believe Hyundai made such a car. As for the new car don't ride it off, Hyundai are genuinly trying to produce good cars.
  4. didn't know about that, but yes there were a few brock specials on the track
  5. I've heard the same and if needed anything would try Peter Warren. I took the Phoon into City Ford for it's first service and told them that I didn't want the car driven by anyone and if needed that I was up the road and would come in to be present, get a call thinking yeah come pick up the car instead the service manger breathing heavily tells me the head mechanic took the car for drive and hit the front bumper on a gutter so took some paint off a small section. He sh8t himself when we turned up anyway got it sorted and have never been back.
  6. Went to Eastern Creek for the Muscle Car Masters. Got there late arvo but got to see so many beautiful cars, sorry no photos. Anyone here go for Father's Day and take some snaps? Bought a scetch of a red 351 XY HO and got Allen Moffat to sign it, it was pretty exciting. The cars sounded awesome coming down the straight, music to anyone's ears!
  7. Came across a RS4 while we were in the T yesterday played some cat and mouse with it, it was infront of us and the thing got up and boogied, great sound track too, the way it cornered was quite impressive, spewing I didn't have the phoon, he would have got the shock of it's life...hahaha...
  8. Overdrive is between $3K-3.5K gives you 4 gears but also gives you the option of splitting the gears and running even six gears.
  9. Yeah Chris is runnning the box, but in speaking to him, he likes the box but being only three speed he reccomended not to get the Turbo 400 with out the overdrive.
  10. Great looking car though the V10 couldn't come quick enough for it. Apparently the first batch of R8's have already been spoken for. Imagine the attention from the ladies.......
  11. They look good but seem to be pretty common on the roads, I've seen heaps of ls1 boys with the same rims.
  12. I've seen recordings of a test at amg head quarters E55 vs E63 two runs over qtr mile. The E55 won suprisingly twice, then they tested the CLS55 vs CLS63 and they ran head to head this race was done twice from a 60km roll on a race track in somewhere in europe. I just sold my C55 and have been invited to drive the new CLK63 but I don't want to because the last time I went in for a test drive I spent 160K on a AMG.....CLK63 drive away they qouted me 190K...... I think I'll stick to my 440rwkw Phoon!
  13. Definately worthwhile investigating.
  14. I was looking into the C4 and Turbo 400 and spoke to Protrans Keas and Al's Race glides and they all recommended a Turbo 400 because it would handle alot more power. They all seemed to think that the C4 would not last long. You can get a overdrive for the C4's and Turbo 400's there around 3K but you get four gears so great for highway runs. Both boxes are similar money but the Turbo 400 is the way to go.
  15. Well Done Danny! Your doing very well and it's good to see your sorting out some of the troubled cars. *There's alot of guys out there that have paid for so-called custom tune but are unaware that they have paid for a copy'n'paste (generic) tune from their reputable tune shop.*
  16. PM Sent!
  17. Fingers Crossed!
  18. I'm looking to do the same so hoping someone has some feedback. If not may have to adjust the suspension to compensate.
  19. It's all about getting the right setup and yes my Turbo is High-flowed. I run close to 390rwkw on 14psi and 427 on 18psi.
  20. Over 420rwkw stock bottom end in BF ZF Phoon!

    I've heard two cases of the piston no 5 failing.

    There's alot of boys running between 350-380rwkw with not too many issues. One tornado let go at 375rwkw though that seemed to do alot of track work. Another in quensland with over 400 let go but was due to 'apparent' bad tuning. I run close to 390 daily (14psi) and over 420 (18psi) on the weekends, I've had this for about six months. As some will say time will tell. And I know that Xtreme F6 had his bottom end looked at when he upgraded from 400rwkw and there was no damage. There's a few things to consider; How much boost will you be running? anything over 18psi is dangerous in my opinion. What type of set up you'll have to make that power. If it's cheap buy it and see how you go.

    The Break Up

    Up to you mate, I'd definately go down the single path, there's so much fun to be had.
  25. Mine runs low 15's and when it gets a workout it gets to high 15's not sure if that's right. I get between 350-400kms with a mix of daily and race tune.
