  1. Nice fat pipes at the rear of this one today (thought it mighta been chikt, but the driver was somewhat more manly lol). Also spotted a fantastic looking white F6 310 Ute :banghead: turning right from north lake rd onto leach hwy but I couldn't catch up in the damn traffic :( Think he was chasing down a chev badged Expensive Daewoo SS ute which turned in front of him. Actually a few turbos around today, must be the slightly cooler day hehe. Edit: Was that tinyplums F6???
  2. Maybe your friend has a ZF and busted it stalling his beemer up to like 4 grand at traffic light GP's day in day out hahahahaha... Have only heard excellent praise for this gearbox! I drive one myself and love it.
  3. Yeah I've been keen for a long time to take advantage of the economy AND power lift. Warranty is still new on the car which is why I didnt do it...but I'm starting to get bored and am sure I could get a nice safe tune that won't make my wheels fall off Gotta kill off this credit card first though...then I will better all those 4th 5th 6th 7th and 8th gear doughies with my fully sik front wheel nuts while reversing through a giant half pipe, the power will just make it happen.
  4. It's not illegal until you're caught, and it's not a cruise until someone lunches their new clutch! Hope it's a big turnout, I'm trying to restrict my driving to save fuel for proper cruises hahaha...I think I need a coach though since I'm still emptying the tank too fast. Seems to be better after doing the solenoid and TB clean though! Shame I missed the 600+ cruise on friday :(
  5. Also saw that GAM3 ON at titan's actually when I was in there the other day, very nice yes! Chikt, my mate at work gets 2 whoppers every day for lunch, I'm often the lunch run bloke so I know that drive through well hahaha. Good luck getting some net, maybe some unsecured wireless networks around there
  6. Small drive this arvo, spotted a red XR Ute with Phoon wheels leaving HJ's drive through in Palmyra. Plates were something like ROBBO08. Looked good
  7. Oh and spotted this pulling in next to me at BP. My next car Lemme know if the plate needs to be covered anyone. Generally I do but this was worth a pic hehehe A sneaky side street pic during work
  8. Mine came with the Hayman Reese heavy duty pack fitted...I'm told it was used to tow the booze bus! Police owned it before me. I'm pretty sure you could option that from factory though? Am I wrong?
  9. Near Freo, take a guess if you like. I will say to their credit they lent me another crossover when I just dropped in unannounced the week after servicing (when I found the broken fitting) and got me going in 30 mins or so. Mine's getting put back on in a couple days when some rust gets fixed under warranty. Cost also included coolant system flush I think, woulda been $500 without it. Also offered fuel rail and injector clean for $120 - declined that one (hope the BP98 does the job) and wheel balance and align for $50 also declined. Otherwise fine dealer, service wise - but I wouldn't say I'm well versed, only bought a dealer car once!
  10. Cheers - caught it did you? lol...yeah I actually thought it might be getting a bit out of hand, and could be taken the wrong way. Saw the warn post and agreed to reign it in. You can edit 7 mins after first posting I think...is the limit 10?
  11. 45K service, fuel economy went from 14 to 18 immediately after service (road test *cough*). Car slower post service (engine breather pipe snapped). $560. $300 of that service. Not happy and will be asking for advice come 60k >:(
  12. I had a good LOL at the rollershutter addon and colander sponge intake comments hahaha! Nice work all.
  13. Tocchi, do EF's respond well to boost? lol, I'm curious, though no doubt Dean is having a good stir once again. I swear your posts end with that emoticon more times than not Also spotted a black Phoon heading north over the new bridge in Freo, bugger me though I can't remember if it was today or yesterday...
  14. Nice! Shoulda asked what he was running. Member here? Might have beaten me even with it loaded up with mates like it was hahaha!
  15. Also wishing you a good recovery mate, sorry to hear you got unpaid sick leave :( Good luck with the car once you're through it!! Did wonder where the orange FG with the 500Kgs of dynamat went!
  16. The wheels!!! Very nice mate. Break her in right!!! Hope you live in some hills hahaha PS
  17. Saving film for when I get a pic of you and the shocked look on your face maybe... Seriously I was thinking of mounting a cam somewhere and rigging it up to my unused cruise control button. Maybe a whole bunch like the google van? LOL
  18. Nah, but he is Kice. Guess I'm bored too. Who's up for a cruise? lol
  19. Had a great drive this arvo, spotted all manner of beasts. Those I can remember... old EH Expensive Daewoo on North Lake Rd, the same Yellow XR6T with bonnet vents for the 4th time haha (beeped you), a nice silver (not sure if it was HgAg or my cars Lightning Strike) XR8 with a shaker poking out the bonnet...thumbs up and sounded nice! Same ute twice - blue, dreddies driver, debadged at the rear with the wing on, plates something like AB-14141. A yellow XR6T ute with side stripes which I followed down the coast from Scabs...a couple STi's as well, one old blue one new 09 black... oh and a nice blue XY GT being followed closely by 2x red skylines - saw this one a couple times near the coast, then Freo, then on Carrington in Hammy Hill hahaha. Oh and a very straight looking blue EF, XR 8 U with chromies and blue body with red stripe, which looked the goods and told him so at the lights in Freo Adrian, you may be disappointed at my lack of pics, I apologise in advance
  20. LOL, nice work! To keep it on topic...spotted myself and my mate going for a midnight burger run. Was good to have cold air going in again for once! Fun fun fun.
  21. Glad I never hit anything while learning. That came on my full license PS Hope you put your hard hat on! Safety first
  22. I have since decided it is a bit retardedly try hard to drive with them, as well as not wanting another fine, so the button doesn't get used these days. Maybe if I'm driving at night on a bush road I'll use them, since they go sideways well enough to help around corners etc. Can't say they bother me much seeing other cars using them, the bitterness is passing Far more annoying is a 4WD behind with normal lights on, but raised up a foot and shining right in my rear view :/ PS I'm having rust done under warranty at Titan's next week, and they also are fixing the engine breather pipe they broke during servicing. Cough. Seem reasonable to deal with thankfully, my car is stock standard though, aside from the extra cop wiring bits.
