  1. lol typical salesman telling you "IF" it has such and such it'll be sweet. IF not, your problem he said if..... Fact bro
  2. yeah six small turbos and six throttle bodies is the go.....
  3. This, fark them you gave them ample opportunity. The longer you wait to make a claim the more difficult it will get for you..
  4. does it do the same thing in neutral/park just slowly bringing the revs up?
  5. how many ks does your car have kokenose? fluctuating revs and a slight jerkyness at light throttle can be an unhappy ZF. could be a little low on fluid or need a service. They are known to make strange noises like wharring when they are unhappy.... Fact!
  6. I have a feeling the spool rods may not work with the factory lpi pistons due to the pins. Perhaps somebody in the know could elaborate?
  7. so from that I got buzzing/humming sound at 1/4 throttle and strange feedback through your electronic throttle pedal? I got nothing...
  8. I dunno if there is a such a thing as a safe 98 tune on a high comp turbo engine? Turbocharging an N/A engine has it limits..building an even higher compression engine and boosting it is not a logical thing to do to a street car.
  9. saw ova 310 at the bp servo at ferny grove this morning.
  10. lol fark me.......what are your thoughts on the workshop that did the work haha?
  11. Im am a haltech subscriber so that's how I got onto it, known about it for a while thought id check it out
  12. Street outlaws, not exactly off the radar and I know im late to the party just started season 1. Is it for real? cant decide yet, the cars, racing and even the drivers are defs the real deal. Pedaling the car full track on an average street surface is pretty wild. But it still feels like typical american fake reality tv, acted bullsh*t at times. Cant help but think there is no way they just close of a street for hours racing and no cops turn up....not to mention they are filming and broadcasting all of their illegal activities Oh and im already sick of hearing "bj pulls us up, bangs the light" 5/10 atm....ill put my flame suit on now as I know its very popular...
  13. FACT: Facts dont have to be actual facts you just need to say it convincingly enough and hope nobody questions it. Its up to keif to disprove the facts, using facts cheers
  14. lol and the redline has tracked focused suspension? Fact: the redline gains its advantage with corner speed and even exit speed with less power. It could be argued that the exit speed problem due to traction issues comes down to the driver, fact is it has more power than it can make use of in certain scenarios. Whilst your point is correct, its ridiculous. Why compare a modified car to a stock one?
  15. how about the N/A redline handing it to the fgx xr8 on a track? Proof enough, both have factory "tricked" suspension, big brakes, and the xr8 mops the ss in a straight line coz powaaaaar
  16. correct about the v8sc lol, you know what keif I thought should I specify a billion on the whole car not just the chassis. Nah generalisation will be enough...nope not for keif, I also had you in mind when I was thinking that. Your reputation for beinf a nit picker proceeds you.. It is "just better" though. Comparing a falcon with fully modified suspension to a stock vf pretty much says it all...bolt ons can only do so much. A good example of this, was watching a vid of a time attack race car build of an r34 gtr. They actually engineered new component's to change the suspension geometry to get rid of the inherent understeer a gtr has due to its factory geometry. So yeah suspension geometry, chassis stiffness, sh*t like that, do make it "just better" im really not bias having owned both, saying things like, a well setup falcon will out handle a stock daewoo is total, bias, boaganism denial....on the flip Expensive Daewoo will NEVER build an engine better than ford, no argument. Just take them both for what theh are
  17. the ve/vf chassis is just better than the fg...mostly coz Expensive Daewoo spent like a billion dollars on it back in the day. its not really apples for apples but they are direct competitors and its just the way it is. Even V8SC drivers like fabian coultard who have just gone from a Expensive Daewoo chassis to a ford chassis say its a completely different car to drive and that's with a "control" chassis, so it doesnt even make sense and is probably irrelevant to the fg vs ve/f handling debate lol....
  18. barnz

    Fg 428Rwkws

    if you still have a stock tailshaft id leave it at that for now. 1.7 60 isnt bad
  19. all good keify at least you figured out what the issue is
  20. mcm love the re003's also rate them as a bang for buck tyre
  21. lets see nope didnt appear until after edit, this line is also ment to be a new paragraph
  22. I Wonder yep easy work around for tapatalk users edit you post afterwards, change nothing and repost, paragraps appear maybe keif will figure out why they appear after editing, already posted pics of how it looks when editing so wont do it again
  23. keif whatever you have been messing around with fixed the paragraph issue on tapa see nice work no its not...randomly worked fine in the off the radar tv shows thread...never mind edited my post and they suddenly appeared, whatever. not bothered by it really
  24. yeah definitely gets better rabs the story is developing some depth now, definitely not a hunger games. I was a bit eh I dunno at first, 1 more episode of season 1 left and im already keen to see wat goes down in season 2 Its also becoming clear why its called the 100 and not the 2500........ill leave it at that
  25. The 100 - Netflix. Quick synopsis, nuclear war, humans live on space stations for 97 years, send 100 people(basically kids, prisonors at that) down to check it out and sh*t gets real. Worth a watch, rated 5 stars on netflix. wasnt sure at first but im hooked now
