  1. I understand the problem that cyclists aren't allowed to ride on the footpath therefore they must ride on the road. What I don't understand is why cyclists on Beach road (Melbourne) don't use the bike path that is specifically designated for them? Here is what beach road looks like every day: http://www.bv.com.au/file/inform/beach%20rd.jpg Notice the bike path on the bottom right. This is what they have in Holland: http://p.streetsblog.org/wp-content/upload...echt_biking.jpg Notice that there is a seperate: a) footpath b) bike lane c) road This is the only solution. For some reason cyclists in Australia refuse the bike lane though, this makes the road a dangerous place for everybody, as it makes it necessary to merge all the time to go around cyclists in peak hour. I think that the problem is that in Australia all cyclists think that they are all the next Tour de France champion - they even dress in such a way. In Europe people cycle sensibly. Just compare the two pictures. I beleive that cyclists are great since it means that there is less vehicle traffic and congestion on the roads. We should provide them with off road bike paths - but would cyclists even use them ???
  2. Do you need to re-tune if you swap from stock cooler to stage 1 ?
  3. Slightly off topic: Which coolers can easily bolt up to the stock piping? // Cheers.
  4. Alright. I'm in. Confirmed.
  5. I was right behind you mate! Very nicely done indeed. Great to see so many beautiful cars. YPURV4 at one stage planted the gas pedal and I could hear his car spooling up 100m behind me! Insane! Best looking car was the one with the dark bonnet & 22" rims.
  6. Just washed the car. Heading across to Ringwood soon. See you guys there.
  7. OK. I am 100% in.
  8. I might be overseas... 50/50 at this stage.
  9. I'll be up for it.
  10. Hi guys. I would like to get my car up on the dyno to see what's cooking. I was thinking about trying to find somewhere in SE Melbourne this weekend. Any recommendations? Anyone else interested? Do I need to book early? Anyone been here: http://www.hotfrog.com.au/Companies/M-K-Au...-Repairs_641913 cheers. Jake.
  11. Those are some of the best bits! Not sure why its louder at first startup?
  12. Noice !!!
  13. I don't have personalised plates...
  14. My missus has got six months to use up $800 on her work fuel card, and the servo's involved only have 95RON. I had to put my stock tune back in to help her use up the card. It's free petrol so I won't pass it up. Far out, it feels so slow now that I am used to having a custom tune. No more chirping into 2nd. No losing traction when spooling up on an uneven surface. No getting sucked back into the seat. It feels like drivign a N/A....
  15. Has anyine got experiences with lower temp thermostat? Does car run cooler and meake better power?
  16. Same here.
  17. Sounds good!
  18. So when is the expected date of completion? This is a really good suggestion actually.
  19. Apparently my car was blowing a few puffs of white smoke here and there on a recent cruise. It had an oil change done the week earlier. There is some oil in the air intake tube (before the plenum)Other members tell me that oil in this tube is fairly normal.. Should I be worried? Is there anything that can be done to stop the seals on the turbo leaking oil? Jake.
  20. I must say that the 427W looks fantastic. 370KW is not too shabby either... Very expensive though!!! Im sure that Ford can come back with a "Super F6" with 400KW and $30,000 cheaper.
  21. I have heard of dealers flashing Typhoon tune into an XR6T.
  22. Sound slike he should have his car confiscated!
  23. Hi guys. Fantastic event! Many thanks to Gary for organising the day. Highlight for me was Maximus getting it all crossed up going up the mountain! I will try to post up some photos at some stage. It was great to meet fellow enthusiasts. PS. Stay solid = Ceasar salad Jake.
  24. Hi guys. All systems go! HeadSex tune is a ripper! One question: Is everyone bringing their missus'es? My missus might come along if she's not going to be the only chick. I might leave her home though to avoid the comments like: "Why do you have accelrate so quickly"
  25. Ok diff is done. Headsex tune getting done tonight! I'm in !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See you guy at 9am Sunday! // Jake.
