captiva is a crappy sounding name, at least the territory has a name that resembles the car it is, but captiva sounds like a genital desease. Dazza.

but aint no bigger engine gonna fit in the falcon, so force fed is the way to go, I thought the engine tech was going to be borrowed from the s/c mustang 5.4L in the US if it ever got built. Dazza.

Do you know if the tv at EB was high definition, its a big difference in the quality on a SDTV compared to HDTV with the 360, HD is just Dazza.

a worldwide launch for PS3 doesnt include Australia, its japan and north america only in november with europe shortly after, we wont see it till around march 2007. Microsoft did a worldwide launch with the 360 as well, and we are still waiting. The PS3 also has a build price of over US$600, I dont think they can sustain a loss per console of US$200+ without charging a big price for the games, ther 3rd party 360 games are anywhere from $109-$129 each and microsoft are only seeing a loss of US$125 per console at the moment, factor in the higher media costs of blueray and the extra development time and money needed to program for the PS3 with its fancy but hard to use new processor and games are going to cost upwards of $150 each. Reports are also circulating that the PS3 wont ship with the 60gb HDD that's required to play games, so if you dont buy it at the time you get your console at a huge premium (close to $200 if you use the 360's HDD as a guide) then you cant play your new games on it, only your old ps2/ps1 games, so the PS3 isnt going to be cheap. Dazza.

youll be waiting longer than 3 months, they arent the last players in the next gen of consoles, so the price drop wont come till 2007 when either the ps3 or revolution are released here. Untill then dont expect the price to drop any more than $50, if that. Dazza.

Anyone else getting a 360 on thursday?? I will be at the midnight launch wednesday night to pick my unit up, getting PGR3 and Kameo. Anyone else? Dazza.

that happened to a guy I used to work with, he bought a HSV GTS for 100k and they put the wrong dipstick in it, it was always under oiled and eventually the motor blew up, got it fixed no problems though. Dazza.

when you make up your mind on a price on the cooler pm me and let me know how much. Dazza.

Back then though they were also running full slicks and didnt have anywhere near the rules inplace to curb speed, it was because of senna's crash that F1 has been restricted over the years. Dazza.

yeah a little shocking they picked kaspa over bracken, even though the aussies got smashed in the last game, he did get his best figures. Katich is a much better batsmen than martyn, he hasnt done sh*t since his 96 in the 20/20 game. Bichels test days are over. Dazza.

Already have the exhaust, I snared an APS system for cheap off an unfortunate forum member. So it looks like 5k will be enough. Dazza.

But wouldnt the air be denser with moisture and not oxygen, which is why it has a negative effect. Dazza. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Moisture(water) is mostly made up of oxygen. In fact water has a higher proportion of oxygen than air does. But in any event that doesn't matter because oxygen doesn't burn. Hydrogen does though and very nicely thank you. This is why modern technology is leaning towards hydrogen propulsion - using water as the source of the hydrogen. PS Turbo cars have been using water injection for decades in order to lower combustion temps and therefore benefit from a more dense charge and higher boost. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Fair enough, I was just trying to understand better, I am what can be called scientifically handicapped. dazza.

or the guy before him walks like he got a pole up his a r s e! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Wonder what the doctors said to him. "Been doin a bit of fence sitting mate." Dazza.

well my best of 14.40 like in my sig is when my car had 195rwkw it now has 235rwkw so I am expecting to be into the 13's that's at willowbank which is a slower track than sydney. Dazza.

maybe the humidity did play a factor but it seems your losing heaps on the launches. Dazza.

dang, there some expensive brake pads. DAzza.

I have to say it. That guys got a woody. Dazza.

how were you launching? Did you stall it up to around 2500rpm? Dazza.

apparantly silver chair are playing at one of the concerts. Be good as long as you liked them. Dazza.

thanks. Dazza.

yeah they dont look bad on the BA, looks 1000 X better lowered. Dazza.

a little to complicated looking for me, I live by the less is more theory. Dazza.

I am planning on going my next step of mods a little sooner than expected, I want to do the normal gearbox stuff, valve springs and intercooler and piping, and fuel pump will 5k cover the costs for these you recon? Also how much would forged rods and pistons set me back, I am hopless at finding prices on this stuff. Dazza.

They would be more inclined to just re issue the ticket, I tried that where they got my name wrong, the colour of my car wrong, and it was described as a sedan when it was infact a hatch, all they did was write another ticket and told me to pay it. Dazza.
