  1. Any idea when you`ll arrive at the track, Spiro? I might have to go straight from work.
  2. I`ll drive ya car, Karl! Save me washing mine. But one caveat: I`m partially deaf, left ear doesn`t work. So in the passenger seat, no one can hear you scream
  3. Just remember, watch what goes on as you jack under the front crossmember. Its not a bathurst pitstop, so if it doesn`t look 100% let it down gently and go again. Skin and bones heal, but having the car fall off with a jack under there and what it could do to the sump doesn`t bear thinking about. I usually jack one side at a time at the front. Its easier for me, even with a race jack its slow going with limited movement for the handle under the middle, asking a lot of the jack too. The rear I got under the diff cradle. I ALWAYS use stands..
  4. Oh my.. I sense a poem or a disco link approaching.
  5. Dang, yo. Test and Tune tonight.. Just sayin..
  6. Dyno shmyno, get it out on the track where it belongs. Dyno is a tuning aid, the track is the proof of the pudding.. Mmmm, Pudding..
  7. Sh!t a brick.. Props to Tim for the 98 tune.
  8. Quote: Pat will look after ya! That he will. Wholesale Suspension have the range to cover pretty much anything you`d wanna do, and you get a discount. Best part is, Pat has a car like yours - ours , so he knows..
  9. If your shocks are okay now, they`ll be okay with new springs. The Kings Springs with the part number you have there I understand have a more progessive wind to the coil but aren`t particularly heavier than stock. If you`re just after a nicer look, it`ll all be good. Mate has those same coils ( he might have SL`s on the front ) of his BF MkII XR8 with the stock shocks and its all rosy. Depends on the klms you car has on it, maybe you might consider upgrading while your under there.
  10. To anyone reading this and contemplating attending one of Matts organised or anyone elses cruises, do it.. They are fun, you meet terrific people and you can network. You can see, hear touch and smell mods you`ve considered for your car on other peoples cars and get first hand advice straight from the horses mouth.
  11. It goes WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE for couple seconds when you turn the key to prime the rail, and then you can just hear it when its running, like when you`re in a carpark with the window down going slow. It sounds baddass. It is as stated, insurance. It will run fine with either stock or aftermarket, but it won`t run if it leans out at full noise. Not afterwards anyway. Not with all them holes..
  12. Mate its prolly too far ( except for diehards ) but once I went down thru the Lions, and down a bit.. err.. to whatsaname, and then came back up thru to Tenterfield and I tell you, my arms where aching from the corners I encountered. I`ll check the map later and go over the route I took. WHich is too say the way I went, not.. nvm..
  13. I`m with Wayne. Its insurance more than anything. It will sound kewl too. I love the sound my pump makes.
  14. Well, I`m suggesting variety. I love driving my car too. I`m game you know that. What I saying is just go somewhere to " meet" once in a while perhaps. Its a fair drive to the spit from my place and return I might tell you. Imagine if we had even 10 cars at the spit, let alone the multitude we normally can get. I`m with you Matt, mate I love carving up corners. I was as sour as cut snake I`ve missed two of the prime cruises, Loins Rd and Queen Mary. They are awesome roads. I wish more of my time was my own..
  15. I think anyone who gives 2 sh!ts what their car looks like is fully over it. I give my car a quick rinse and dry, do the windows go have shower come out ah be FARKED! it was sunny when I went inside pissin when I came out. On the way to the spit it was do de do do dee do cruisin` then ah be FARKED I carn see the end of me bonnet! Bucketing down. Re Matts Cruise I hadn`t signed up cause it was too far out from the date for me to give a definite response. Maybe a meet at the drags? Or a cruise to the spit? We`ve had some massive cruises, we don`t wanna lose heart. What about that night cruise? Was nearly every BA BF FG in SEQ on that one.
  16. I thought the highlight was that guy in the Titanium coloured Porsche giving it what for at the spit..
  17. I`m guessing that the fakes would all be " front " fitment wheels, which is too say some wouldn`t have the thicker centre like the OEM rears do. This agrees with Stazza`s post and sort of explains why. I gather the front Brembo`s on a Phoon stick out a bit over the stock brakes and they added a bit of fat to the centre of the rear wheels to get the front and rear track the same.
  18. Yep, mine was the only old burner. I had the most mods though Which makes a change from being embarressed to have the bonnet up like the last cruise where everyone has 700 at the wheels or even worse, at the drags last time..
  19. Sh!t picture, I was too scattered from no sleep all weekend.
  20. Don`t think there is even for a Vista - xcal 2 mash up, let alone 7. Its not supported anymore remember, they want you to jump on the xcal3 bandwagon. Talk about planned obsolescence.. When I got my lappy I thought beauty I can data log, well not with Vista I can`t.
  21. Washed car, sun was shining, just got out of the shower and it`s raining. Farkin.
  22. Well, if I can get off youtube learning songs with my guitar and go to bed I might have a chance.
