  1. ^This sort of a jog always makes the drive home from work entertaining, especially when it's with something that handles well Much prefer to be in front... I was chasing an STI (the Subaru type ok) through some twisties a while back and nearly re-shaped his bumper & boot when he braked a fair bit earlier and harder than expected into a tight-ish left hander.
  2. What steered you to a powerglide rather than a built zf? on a street/strip car I mean
  3. Do you have a powerglide in your car? No I can't answer your question, but am curious.
  4. quadruple post Disagree, there's a lot to learn on how not to go about things
  5. @pottypirate read this thread, it's a fair old rollercoaster of a build but end result was around 450rwkw on a built btr. Not sure if @Red Tonner / @genuine honest person / gunna still comes on this forum but if so he could give you some feedback, he's in the Caloundra area from memory so you could possibly use the same guy to build your trans?
  6. Any reason you didn't start one earlier? What sort of apprenticeship?
  7. 2 posts in 11 years to be precise...! Mods have set it so typing 'H0lden' auto corrects to 'Expensive Daewoo' for sh*ts & giggles
  8. @Puffwagon do me a workout plan..? pay you in cash or beer
  9. ^ one of my favourites along with 'All I know' Sewn & Silent on mine for the past 18 months or so Something of a record for me, usually by 2-3 months in I end up hating whatever I have on and have to ditch it for something else
  10. First of all - sacrilege It's the noise of angels being ingested What kit do you have on there, plaz, PW or something else? Getting rid of any ally/steel bends and replacing with silicone will make a difference
  11. @JETURBO has a lot of good things to say about Exide's X56CMF... sold me Can't fault it, 630CCA goodness Looks like on special at Beaurepaires right now, bloody steal at $144 https://www.beaurepaires.com.au/batteries/exide-x56cmf-car-battery-my-50001
  12. @Goeer is from Adelaide isn't he? this would push all his tinfoil hat government conspiracy buttons for sure: https://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/motoring/on-the-road/why-cars-wont-unlock-in-adelaides-twilight-zone/news-story/5ed5046618571fa930172d45ccab57b3
  13. @Joe gallo I will do you a set for $5K
  14. Well that's something I learnt today: oil is categorised by "velosty" Must be what speed the oil does around the block, yeh? So higher has to be better then. Wonder what Hyundai recommends for a Veloster, turbo model would need different oil since apparently it won't run as hot as an N/A This forum is just a freaking gold mine of info
  15. Thread name says 600hp but you want 600rwkw, correct? Read threads in this part of the forum to get a good idea of what's required. https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/forum/189-600-club/ What's the most powerful car you've ever owned/driven? 600rwkw on the street is a sh*tload in anybody's money. Some of the questions you asked in your original post would suggest you're possibly new or at least new-ish to the modified car scene, nothing wrong with that but what you want to do is not beginner level by any means.
  16. Good advice delivered clearly without insults...you feeling ok fluff? 😃
  17. Did a pissy little job for the father-in-law the other day...he doesn't believe in owing favours
  18. Buy Zelda BOTW and arrange for a third week of sick leave....
  19. As does the good old squirt of inox/WD on the apprentice's arc when they've become irritating 😄
  20. The waft of singed hair and burning skin is pretty distinctive also @Puffwagon if you haven't already add Welding Tips & Tricks to your YT list, old mate is pretty easy to watch and covers all levels
  21. Holy sh*t that looks uncomfortable
