  1. I read the same article. I loved how the XR trounced the Expensive Daewoo by 2 seconds at Winton.. that's a pretty convicing margin. Personally I reckon yeah, the blip would be oight.. But I`m not crying my car doesn`t have it.
  2. If it ruined your engine or turbo, yes it would void it. If your boot lid flew off or your headlights fell out, then no..
  3. Senna T ( Pat ) at Wholesale Suspension supplied me with a pair of 520 pound front and 310 rear Kings coils that I fitted to my BF Typhoon yesterday arv and this morning. I was prepared for a slight increase in harshness in trade for better handling. It rides SMOOTHER than before with just Bilstiens and stock springs, and also better than when it had Pedders lowered coils on the rear. It reminds me of when I had the forks on my dirt bikes set just right, with some intial plushness graduating to firmness. I`m thinking its the progessive wind on the coils. Definitely a more sophisticated set up over what it came with. I`m very happy with them.
  4. I have been fortunate ( in one respect anyway ) working at small places to have never been stuck in an excavator, I would spend sometimes a day or 2 clearing trees then mining sand then loading it on a moxy and taking it to the plant. Now if I get stuck on a loader or whatever all day I feel totally shagged, due too many trips to the deck off motorbikes in my youth. One guy I worked with who was at the time on the digger, brought up something I`d never considered: Deep Vein Thrombosis. You gotta get out, walk about a bit. Its easy to forget too if you`re under the gun loading multiple trucks or whatever. When I fed the plant and was on late lunch, I could get stuck in there for 7 hours straight. Plant operator as a profession is hard on your physical well being if you`re not carefull there can be no arguement. But if you didn`t finish high school and wanna make a quid wtf ya gonna do.. Hyjack ends..
  5. LOL I had to get on a digger today and heap up raw feed, not sat on one for 18 months.. I felt the pounds pile on after just a few hours
  6. The most important thing about being a dumpy truck driver is, if you have not heard a rumour by smoko, start one. Seriously, when you apply try to get across that you are focused on safety and safe working practice. The safety aspect in big places is mind numbing.. Be aware of drug and alky hole policies also.. Good luck.

    1,2,3....

    Nail on the head, but it made it interesting, that lil Pr!ck having the defuser gone had just enough to get a break down the straight and break the tow.. I cheered like a crazy when he got hunted out Same with Murphy I can`t stand him either :D
  8. WHo serviced it, Kyle? Sorry I`m not on the north side bud..
  9. Check that, Steves was a metalic bronze I think. Seniors moment there..
  10. 1962-1964 Ferrari GT 250 Lusso Berlinetta.. I`m a bit jaded with cars nowadays, but by God these things just f**k me over.. Its gotta be a green one, or that gunmetal sorta silver one Steve McQueen had.
  11. I agree the Barra engine is Australia`s best effort. But I am very interested in this new engine.
  12. Wow Matts` online! he must be at home getting his washing done

    Wait?!?! I want stuff right MIAOW!!!! ANywho, I bought an Asus ages ago ( scroll ) from a compy shop in town. Was a decent deal, I loike it.
  14. Since they went digital and started scrambling the signal the old scanner is slightly redundant. In my town, they have not gone to digital ( yet ) so the scanner - UHF combo in my work car still can provide me with some entertainment. It`s hardly going to stop me getting booked or whatever, but yeah, it can be entertaining.
  15. lol, don`t follow me.. You`ll all know next time
  16. I`m completely shagged from a day spent shoveling a raw feed bin out, but Ima be there.. 4:30am tomo wake up call is going to sux0r.
  17. Well, they can bash that up their arse..
  18. I thought the cruise was to culminate in us all doing skids outside Pauls?
  19. I`m going to try. I got told I`m now finishing at 5:30pm instead of 5 as of tomo. Which quite possibley could blow out to 6pm back to normal l knock off time. Factor in the 4:30am saturday alarm and a shuttle run to Redcliffe after work.. Ack.. But I reeeeeeeeally wanna play with my noo DSLR.. Like I said I`ll try..
  20. quote: if he doesnt ring back and tell the truth im going to kick your f*cking head in remember I know where you live asshole and besides that why the hell are you not telling the truth anyway GOLD! I had similar many yrs ago, guy in a 2 litre Cortina pulled out, I had right of way, I smashed his front guard onto his drivers side front tyre with my TT350. Promised me the world while I was laying on the ground, I was very very lucky, I just had a massive dead leg from smashing my thigh into the front of the car. I rang him next day and he was like, awww if I admit guilt you`ll sue me.. I said look junior, you buy me a pair of handle bars, a throttle and a pair of fork boots and we`ll do up an afadavit saying I won`t. This isn`t America.. It`s un Australian not to stand up to ya responsabilty.

    Lol at FPV owners thinking alike though, if I see a GT or whatever, I`ll park next to it figuring the owner will have the empathy not to dent my car.. Often I`ll come out of the shops and a GT or nice T will be parked beside me with the owner obviously thinking the same thing. Mostly, the harder you try to avoid it, the more chance there is of something bad happening.

    There was a black FG XR6 that I dunno how he didn`t take the front lip off on the bump stop thingy in the parking bay. Noticed as we walked up to the gate. I wasn`t too concerned about anyone parking near me, it was a non public holiday monday.

    I took that as we were exiting.. Bit fluffy crap fell off the tree but that blew off on the way home Here`s a gratuitious new rear springs pic for good measure..
  24. lol....
  25. I`m interested in knowing what guys who have had bad experiences with the Mythos have switched to and how they have faired? It`s certainly intrigueing to get such polar opposite responses.
