  1. Really good movie. So many people missed out on the ending after the credits too!
  2. weird it wont let me link directly to the car! they have a lightning strike FG XR6T. Was up on Carsales and they took the car down last week after someone put a deposit down. Finance didnt come through or something like that apparently. 94k with a full service history, tech pack, lux pack and 19s. small ding on the front passenger door. Asking 26k. Might be able to screw them down another 1k or 2.
  3. What do you guys think of this? It has the tech pack and luxuary pack through it. Worth the drive to Traralgon?
  4. Booked in! Now all I need to do is buy an anti-rapers kit
  5. There's still time for me to tattoo my ass like in !
  6. My brother and I might be keen to tag along if there is still accomodation in Omeo available. I'll check this evening if that's cool. Like to meet up face to face with some of the characters in these forums lol
  7. Doesnt matter how good a driver you are if someone else hits you or you're unlucky enough to be pulled over for an RBT then you're going to be in deep sh!t. You guys that have painted your I/Cs did you use any special paint or just a run of the mill black spray can?
  8. I didn't tell him I already owned one so he was treating me like a chump. TBH car only felt quicker to drive because it was an auto. As far as options go it's a downgrade over my one so I'll keep hunting around. Probably just keep this one and get it tuned if I can't find what I'm looking for.
  9. Yeah I've applied for about 60 jobs over there related to Lab work but because I work in the PVC plastic industry and it's not related to Geology its apparently an entirely different kettle of fish :banghead: Probably wouldn't pass the medical either. If they check for colour blindness I'll probably only be good as a cleaner or cook lol
  10. Name: Nic Age:28 Sex: Yes please Location: South East burbs of Melbourne Occupation: Lab Technician Drive: BA XR6T Next car: FG F6 or GS (undecided) Previous car: VR SS Comm Married: no Is it hard to get into the cadetships at the mines? A friend of mine (a diesel mechanic) said its very hard to get into roles in either QLD or WA without tickets or a usable professional background. He worked in WA for three years and although he said it was poor conditions he has now paid off one house and is now building units on a second .
  11. I had slipping with my clutch and it ended up being overboost from a failed actuator.
  12. Yeah I remember reading that here somewhere before. Car has been there for some time now. Cheers.
  13. Do you guys know if the nsw interceptors had tunes or not? Was looking at this car in Ringwood and they guy was telling me it still has the 'Cop Tune' in it.
  14. Whereabouts are you? I have dealt with the guys at Pitlane Performance before and have only good things to say about their knowledge and customer service with 4.0 Turbos. They are located in Frankston/Seaford and are one of our site sponsors.
  15. Schmick car Max. I don't think I've seen a turbo in that colour before either.
  16. It's all a juggling act with trade ins. You either get more for your car trade in and less off the car you want to buy or the other way around. Ford offered me 12k for my BA mkII XR6T 6 speed manual if I bought a 32k FG XR6T. Car looks brand new apart from the tacho reading 170xxx. If you can get 2 or 3k below what a comparable one on Carsales.com is going for you are probably doing alright.
  17. +1 for the XR floor mats. They look good and save your carpet Also have to agree on the tyres too. You don't wan't to be driving a Turbo on Melbourne roads with Triangles
  18. my glovebox is full of refresher towels from kfc
  19. I managed to get out of my Vodafail contract because of poor reception and joined Telstra. Outer eastern suburbs of Melbourne Telstra has better coverage.
  20. I had a friend that was beta testing this. Said it's the best mmorpg since WoW turned awful.
  21. Runs from under your steering wheel (near your phone handsfree loom) to below the tissuebox McDonalds serviette holder. Edit: sorry but I'm an unco at uploading files
  22. 1. VH SL/E, 253 stroked fluffer with the Traumatic (re:trimatic) that was a great car for it's age (considering I was on my P's!) 2. VR SS, 304 HSV enhanced T5 manual 3. BA MkII 6 speed manual with the premium pack, F6 Intercooler, Growler CAI, 4. ??? will be either a BF F6 or an FG XR6T. I'll be putting the tampon in and going a ZF auto with either of these.
  23. Just make sure you have installed it the correct way. They should have an arrow that indicates which direction flow should be(should aim to the rear end of the car). A few years back I had an exhaust shop install an entire exhaust for my old VR SS and it packed up a few months in. Upon replacing the cat myself I noticed the bloke had installed the cat back to front.
  24. +1 for replacing the middle mufflers with hotdogs. Gives the car a little more sound without the drone.
