Whilst Im sure it would be a great run.....by the time we travelled from Southern Sydney, did the cruise and got home again.....man, that's a huge day and as others have said.....the fuel bill!!!....wow Sorry.....

It has been brought to my attention that some competitors, and spectators, are being unfairly targeted by the Blacktown LAC after leaving the Wednesday night street meets at WSID. As current secretary of the NSW ANDRA Divisional council I would like to get some feedback on this as we have always encouraged people to race at the strip, not on the streets and harassment like this would seem to be very counterproductive to getting racers to run their vehicles at the racetrack. I intend taking this issue up at the Divisional council meeting next week and would appreciate any feedback prior so we can work towards a better deal for all concerned. Thanks guys.....

Well...that rained on that little parade didnt it..... Besides, there only appears to be one door in the joint and,knowing my luck, the car Id want would be waaay down the back.... Could you imagine having to jump start 100+ cars just to get to the one you want....

Im pretty much in the same boat too..... I didnt want to get a custom tune, then start doing more mods and have to take it back and get it redone again ....so I figured Id do what I wanted "then" take it round for a custom tune. I know I could have gotten a flash tuner and just loaded generic tunes into it but after reading about some of the dramas others have had with these I thought Id wait till I could just get it done properly and save the hassle. So far I have cut out to centre mufflers and replaced with hotdogs, fitted a Typhoon I/cooler, an engine oil cooler and a Typhoon cold air snorkel......does it feel any different?......dunno, but it feels like it and sounds like it but it could be just me. I have got a set of 42lb injectors for it but obviously they cant go in till Im ready for the flash tuner. Im not after top end power....what I want is good usable power and torque down low to keep it drivable you know... What sort of power figure will we end up with?...who knows..but the guys have told me she should be round 260-270 rwkws with these mods @ 10psi.....I cant wait for this....

What?....the car.....or your missus....

Good on ya' Jeff.....mate that's impressive...but I'd love to know what sort of 1/4 times she'll run

I first heard of it this morning when the chick reading the news comes on and says...... First off.....Im glad to here that the kid who was injured will be ok...... They had obviously gone to the drags and done the right thing by putting their cars down the strip.....then left their brains in their helmets to drive home......hence the result..... From a father's point of view......if one of my kids did this, he'd end up with my size 11 right in his backside for being stupid enough to get involved in a idiotic stunt like this..... And I want to know how these kids afford these things......let alone paying the insurance......when I was his age, I remember having to save for 3 months just to buy a set of roller rockers...... And if you want to say ...... his familys got money.... Id also like to know what sort of father would put a kid only two years out of his teens into a car strong enough to be used by the HWP for pursuits.....

Check your PMs.....

One of the biggest wastes of prime time TV Ive ever heard of...... I think they should have a new show devoted to the all BA/BF and FG Falcons and the people who drive them......now that would have to rate better wouldnt you think......

:ifiusethisimafag:

Spew....why did it have to be the 15th.....otherwise, Id have been in that like smoke Mrs Bionic is driving down to visit the rellos in Tumut for five days on the 12th isn't she... Oh..and she's taking the T.....

Fair enough....I can see how some people would get excited about a low ten second ride in a sedan.... However, just think about what 750 odd kws could do in a T bucket or rear engine dragster..... 750 kws in a car that weighs in about 750kgs comes out at high SIX second passes at over 320kmh ......that's over TWO HUNDRED MILES AN HOUR ....... How many people on this forum can say theyve driven over a double ton? Im stuffed if I know why noone has put an XR6T engine into of of these things yet...

Did they tell you what settings they used on it ? I only had mine reset last month when I put tyres on it..... Do you alter your wheel alignment settings for track days?

Mmmm......how about the shaving cream and toilet roll scene in the film "American Graffitti".... although some people might get upset about their paint though....

Shame......it was a good night......great turbo weather :ifiusethisimafag:

Yep, Ill be there, but only because Ive got a Divisional council meeting up in the tower.

Me too..... Hahaha....he'll be pissed at you now for letting the cat out of the bag Seriously though...Ive seen him turn up at club events, change wheels and tyres....then go out and give purpose built sports sedans a head start....before chasing them down and passing them..... Has he taken you for a run in it yet?

All we know is what the Police have said...... Unless of course they've told you something they have'nt told us....

I have posted this as a separate thread to make owners aware of this problem occuring in the Albion Park general area. After my previous post below........ Ok, an update...... After talking with the Police this morning, they told my soninlaw that 8 cars were targeted within a 5k radius of his home in Albion Park. They are sure that this an organised deal as , apart from my daughters Ghia, "all' those targeted were "XR6 and XR8 " BA-BF Fords and the Police said that if they find one, then they are confident that they will find all of them. Out of 8 targeted cars, they got away with 5 of them on Monday night......3 other attempts were foiled by either dogs or being otherwise disturbed...on one occasion they were chased by an owner and fled to another waiting XR sedan (probably already stolen) and got away. The Police feel that they are casing the residential areas and looking for easy targets, especially double storey homes with garages underneah or separate. So the message to all our friends in the southern Woolongong to Albion Park area is......secure your cars guys, at least until they bust these dropkicks.....

Yeah, I spoke with him today and apparently he discovered it had a couple of dying coils....hence the lousy performance.....Ive seen this thing go....make no mistake....it flys...and handles....and stops too...all up, its a very impressive package.

Ive often wondered how different colour rims would look on my car too..... Photoshop is your friend.

Yeah, thanks Pat.... although the cars are insured....everything else they took from inside the house is not...... and he had a fair bit of business related paperwork in the ute that he would dearly love to get back too. And my daughter is distraught that the car she waited so long to own has now gone......

My son in law gets woken at 4.30am today by the sound of his XR6 ute being wheelspun out of his driveway......my daughter's pride and joy, A black Fairmont Ghia, has already gone.... Thieving bastards have broken in through the garage door, rumaged through the lower level of the house and found thier car keys, then taken wallets, mobiles, some of my special needs grandson's remote control toys and my soninlaws golf clubs amongst other personal stuff..... Missing are.......03' XR6 Ute in Silver Rego No ZLE-553 04' Fairmont Ghia in Black with ACT Rego YDJ-53G....... Whilst I dont expect members to form a posse and go out looking for these things.....I figured that by at least making everyone aware of this theft, someone might see something, somewhere, and help bring these cretins to justice...... Thanks guys....any info appreciated.....

Didnt happen to have NSW five digit black and white plates starting with " DW " did it?
