Geez SD, surprised you haven't bought out the lollies for the little ones yet Geez I'm glad your 3000 odd km away from me. You truely are a twisted fellow.

its only when they start glowing white that you really need to worry. (damn its fun having a dyno where you work)

http://www.magshop.com.au/Motor_Magazine_B...Issues_2006.htm On the back issue talk, click on this link and see if you know what issue it was, If it is still available then you can just add it to a cart, pay with that dreaded Paypal and have it delivered. At a guess it would be either January, April or October

Hell, if this is true I WILL be buying mine for the PS3 from Ebay. They can get stuffed if they think I am going to buy it from a shop here. Anyway, will probably get it cheaper from ebay as well.

damn, only 27 posts in OTT (now 28), that's less tha what Senna posts in a day!

I have been selling car parts through my work for about 20 months, the amount I have been charged with Paypal is huge. Total amount sold is in the region of $35k but after ebay AND paypal fees I reckon I would be lucky to have about $26-27k actually put into the bank. Thieving bastards. Although I ain't going to stop, just means I will have to adjust some of my prices. The reason I don't really care is that a lot of my parts go to europe, UK, USA and asia so I only accept paypal payments from overseas buyers anyway, just going to hurt little on the home front. Worst one was a $2500 sale to spain, paypal alone cost like $150 then ebay on top was approx $100 (a while ago so can't remember exact figures)

which means they shouldn't cost too much to fix (yeah right) Just can't see how 12 would have been damaged.

Welcome to an Audi R8R, Le Man racer. Suicidal muthaf@#kers driving on that road if you ask me. Watch it again, he hits 6th gear (quote taken from wikipedia, The highest speed of the R8 at Le Mans was 338 km/h (210 mph) in the practice sessions of the 2002 Le Mans 24 Hours Race. A low downforce setup could generate about 350 km/h (217 mph) ) But HELL YEAH give me a go.

can't see how they reckon 12 cars were written off.

turbo lag is just a characteristic of a turbo motor full stop. About the only way to lessen the lag would be to fit a turbo with smaller turbine housing but this will hurt not only peak power but also power high in the rev range. Just learn to deal with the lag

SeUMDY01uUA The motor is impressive BUT I reckon this replica is much more impressive. Find someone to drive it and it is possible. Everything works as it does on the original

LALALALALA NOT HEARING YOU LALALALALALALA

There are 2 things that saved his life. 1, the barriers they use on the ovals now, that absorbing stuff they were talking about. The other was that the car hit the wall AFTER it went past 90degrees to the wall so that the left front took the first impact and spun the car further. If he had of hit straighter, he would have been a gonner, not matter what he hit or the strength of the car. Quite unbelievable and I bet he will be sore tomorrow (today) Think he needs to go buy a lotto ticket.

Yep, me too Dags.

And I have just found out today that Robbie Farah has ruled himself out of the Tigers game. THAT WILL HURT ME.

Who is Belinda in the League (fantasy team foxes). Damn your having a good round. Well done. 340 and games to go.

Also the article states 'building industry' , Peter Champion is in mining and excavation equipment and so forth

no I don't think so, I met Peter Champion about a year ago when he had an open day at HDT special vehicles (that he had just bought) and seriously didn't seem to be the singlet and shorts kinda bloke. Also the webpage mentions nothing about any monaro's other than Brocky's 69 bathurst race car.

Yep small numbers alright, A whole massive amount of 2 were made.

That thing with the quad V8's is just plain nuts. Damn love to have a go of that.

Regards to Burnouts/Loss of Traction Subsection (1) A person must not, on a road or road related area, operate a motor vehicle in such a manner as to cause the vehicle to undergo loss of traction by one or more of the driving wheels (or, in the case of a motor cycle, the driving wheel) of the vehicle. The above does not mention anything about burnout, JUST broken traction. This is the problem I have with the laws, too open for interpretation. BTW, I am a mechanic, I have mechanical sympathy, I don't thrash my cars, I don't race on the road (I leave that for the track), I don't do burnouts, I don't 'drift' unless by accident (however yes I do speed but not stupidly, approx 10-15% over) and I have a young family that I WILL NOT RISK ( I always tell my wife she has never seen me drive quick) so these laws don't really apply to me however if I get done for a bullsh*t interpretation then by god I will be PISSED. IF I did deserve to lose my car so be it, I will cop it on the chin.

my problem is easy to fix, all I have to do is stop being an impatient son of a b!tch. Now you know why I bought a T Sorry for the hi-jack, again

Sorry Scotty, not a meant as a generalisation of all security meat heads , only the meat heads who believe 'they' are above the law. I.B, Again, read my post re oil and getting up to speed in traffic, these are the incidents that could have a car confiscated where there was no intent to do a burnout or 'drifting'.

I have had a similar thing happen, It mostly happens to me when I let go of the key too early, same symptoms, same restart procedure, no long lasting effects (I hope).

I am not blaming all cops, nor am I laying the blame for these laws on cops, It is just that these laws are able to be manipulated too easily by a cop who is as I said " power hungry, number making". We all know they exist and we all have met one I am sure. Again, nothing against the cops, just the ones who act like a 130kg, solid ball of muscle who pumps weights and steroids and who just got a security license.
