Bogan's wouldn't settle for anything other than a V8 Preferably pushrods HOLDEN = WIN

Havn't driven the new 5L xr8 but anything before that fords never had anything on holen when it comes to 8's You'll be paying more for insurance and fuel anyways, turbo 6 is just as fast if not faster I'm proud of my 4jz

I set mine about 40 as well, just don't go under 35 otherwise the factory rims will start getting bent (if you choose to keep the factory ones)

450kw should be enough to get to 320 at least

Is this the one in Queensland that I'm thinking of?? Yes or No

It's the only place you can actually get to use the car's full power, and handling http://fooyoh.com/?mid=car_video&watch=pQy2tfkX7Pk Wouldn't mind one of them boxer motors too

Sell it and get an xr6 turbo

Boy was I looking forward to the 3.5 Direct Injection twin turbo, never arrived Or at least they should attempt on direct inject the current 4L Turbo, the typhoon will soon be 360 instead of the 310 You don't need an 8 to go fast these days

Who the fvck is DynoWog??

Better yet......150-300

0-100 *yawn* How about 100-200??

It seems like dealer servicing always try and educate vehicle owners on the benefits of increasing the duration during service intervals and most likely be of two reasons: 1) Help trim some of the running cost by owners and.... 2) More wear and tear due to lesser TLC = more cars sold as most cars will past it's usefulness That's like saying it's better to wash your socks after wearing it twice after a hot, humid day at the soccer practice than to wash it straigaht after wearing it once Change your oil at 5k u're car is stock

Got lag??

APS did it years ago in a 5 speed BA with a stage 3 kit on an airport in victoria back in 03' Can't see how hard it is to get over the 300km/h barrier, even with the zf All you need is boost up and heaps of camber / good coilover / stronger chassis

Speedo reads 200km/h @ 4th gear, 5000rpm, into 5th at 6000rpm @ 210km/h, so yes the magic wire is probabty giving out the false reading (So it gives the cops themselves the false sensation of having a true highway cruiser), great, so we've all spent money buying a "performance" car that can only travel up to 180km/hI can do faster than that in my 6 speed manual mazda sp25 c'mon guys we all know it's bullsh1t those T's are more than capable of doing more than 200, even the vy utes have a top speed of 270 And yes, freeway runs are bad mmmmkay the only reason why folks used to do it is simply because you cannot drive a car to it's full capacity on the street or on the track, as much as you can hammer your car on the track it cannot possibly perform at it's fullest, the only place left is the freeway I have since retreated the T back onto daily drive "overtaking duties" only

Btw mine was an ex-police chaser, dunno if it's any different than the civilian version though I've had a tune since

Your right, it was actually 60km/h on my property driveway, street cred made me inflate my ego

Food for thought, them buttons on the steering wheels could be used for NAWZ actuator

Had heaps of camber back then and bloody oath I enjoyed the high speed grip, the damn thing felt like it was on rails Them coilovers were designed for optimum cornering between 100-220km/h so obviously suffers a bit around tight corners and chicanes though the days of night runs down the coast is dead and gone due to heavy police presence *sigh* the good ol' days

Sorry guys for sidetracking, please continue

Floor pans are fine, I'm talking about the spare parts they're using so the damn car actually moves Anybody has simular problems after suspension/engine mods??

Well it isn't sh1t, I do own one after all. However I've had problems aplenty when it comes to consumables underneath the car. Recently my diff mount and lower control arms (the inner bush, part alone cost $250) is giving out. Before that were my CVs, control arms, etc. It was all good up until I did the coilover swap / lowered and a tune Dunno how peeps here never had problems like that Love my Turbo but would love it more if stuff would stop falling off from underneath

Not exactly, the E30 is about balance, not power. Even if a car has a 1.5 litre motor it can still be fast, a fast car needs GOOD RESPONSE, no matter which application it might be. Why swap the motor in the E30 anyway? It's designed to be what it is Besides, ever seen high powered drag cars, funny cars even top fuel swerving all over the drag strip? It's much to do with the body of the car being overpowered by the amount of torque/power the motor is producing Put a high power motor in a street car and the body panels will warp, it may not be visible to the naked eye, but your car is already unbalanced and out of shape, it effects the handling and speed of the car already. Ever wonder why supercars like the bugatti will happily do 417km/h and feels like it's on rails? it's because the car's being built specifically for that kind of power and speed, without it, it too, will fall to pieces I'm just wandering how guys here are making 400rwkw and their under chassis and body part's arn't falling off :S BTW I suggested the comparison between the bimmer and the turbo being that they are exactly the same size and yet how they are different from each other, and why one seemingly considered more superior by the motoring public and why one cost more than the other, everything has a reason

If you can wait or successfully rob a bank I'd say a BF mark II is a better buy Typhoon motor and slightly better brakes, updated centre console, and previous problems in the BA have been ironed out (except build quality) and not that much more than the BA too! If you look underneath the BF and the BA you will noticed the BF will have stronger nuts/bolts, if not then just more of them! Slightly stronger chassis which I like BA's have an extremely weak rear end
