  1. Whats the quickest and fastest that anyone has gone on ture street tyres? I dont mean things like et streets, but true street tyres.
  2. Have been for a ride in a FG XR8. Very nice thing. I think it had more than 302kw....
  3. go TCE or Dominator.. ive had stalls from other companies ( not in the xr6t ) and they were horrible. driven a couple of cars with ones from these two companies and they were excelent
  4. Pitty I havent got my brembo kit yet. when a cruise comes up and I dont have to work im there. looked like my kind of roads too
  5. Would you be so kind as to estimate a weight so i can get a freight estimate to 3757? Cheers!
  6. problem is they all are/were trying to work out their life issues..... Every great artist has had their issues. I believe that's what pushes them to strive so hard for public acceptance. since hetfield got off the booze he is a mellow calm person. no anger within. no spark fo fire his creativiy like before.
  7. I know its old, but its still good. http://www.stickdeath.com/whisky.html
  8. If we can get the cat dump and y pipe i am interested also...
  9. scribr, I dont have a house and that is one of the main reasons. I should have said that more loosley. that's the ideal minimum aim, because this course puts you in a better position for the future. I have a firm belieif that property prices are so over exagerated at the moment, im not buying.. I think there is major pain in the future for people that have borrowed large amounts and are near their limit. when the time comes for me to buy, I will not enter the market with less than 10% + costs. That will only be if I stumble across the right property at the right price. otherwise I will hold my aim for 20% +. If the only goal is to own a house, then much of what I said seem too painful and hard to achieve when it can be done with less up front cash. I look at things to try to provide as much financial freedoms as possible. therefore reducing costs to the minimum necessary is a priority.
  10. maybe the council will start paying us to take grass clippings?
  11. My family own a wizard finace buisness and its run by an uncle. He told me the best way is to knock the personal loan out, because that comes off your borrowing capacity. To use the calculators online to work out stamp duty and other payable costs over and above property purchase then save that amount + 10% of purchase price. My personal opinion is also to not borrow to close to your upper limit. This gives breathing room for any rate rises or change of curcamstances ( job changes resulting in lower income..) if you have any specific questions, I can pass them on and get his answer.
  12. I think the fuel cap seals. This seems like the cuplrit as the smell is strong near the front of the car. I will investigate and report.
  13. Latley this has been getting worse. When I pull up and get out of the car there is a fuel smell around the car, but I cannot find any fuel leaks or weeps. it has been getting to the point that when I ge home from work ( 45 miniute drive with a 5 miniute pull up a hill on boost a bit ) it is starting to become noticable from the cabin. Is there anywhere I can look? or is there a breather somewhere causing this? in hte heat the other day also the bugger would start to load up to come on boost then it was like the ecu just cut the throttle. step off and back on and it was fine until I squeezed it enough to try for boost again, same thing. but its not doing it now? I thought there might be a safe guard in the ecu regarding ambient air temp but its been hot again and its not done it?
  14. definantly tryhard. a mate is friends with craig , but he doesnt let too much slip about whats going on with it for some reason.. its all geared up to go to the salt aparantly.. so it will be out pushing for some mph very shortly.
  15. the best beach is the one in my rear view mirror.. on a serious note, fraiser island has some great spots. only problem is you need a 4x4 or dirtbike for access. well worth it though.
  16. simple fact is if your watching the speedo your not watching the road..
  17. The Alpine way is a great road to crank it up on too. there is a reason all the bikes come down to the motogp that way
  18. found mine on the coffee table as walked in from work. who did you bribe to get mine here that quick? cheers bloke!
  19. [quote name='Muzza' post='602835' date='Dec 1 2007, 09:53 AM']Yeh what he said....The one's being posted should have went first because we paid more. Make the pick ups wait till you have got back from post office. Muz[/quote] geeze give the bloke a break! if you wanted them so urgently you should have bought them at full noise. Danny will do the pickups and postages in a quick time, but he DOES have other things in life, as im sure we all do. i know everyone is keen but chill! although, i've got a TL1000R so im not hanging for the speed fix as much
  20. This is good to look at, but its more funn being in or seeing a full laden b-double ( 62.5 tonnes ) at 100mph :D
  21. 8-9 tonnes. that's how diesels run when they are making bulk power. the driver is pretty good on the jake gear changes though! if I didnt have to pay for the diesel, I'd love that for my truck!
  22. Go the Butter Truck!!! I havea couple of vids of them racing with trailers on too. Mabes my star look like a dog. I think I want to go to qubeck in canada now. (that's where this is)
  23. maybe have a look at who is coming into brisvegas and call them and ask if they will top load the wheels for you? if I knew for certian when a mate was going to be on the way up ( does melb-bris lots ) I would put you onto him. If you get stuck, let me know and I will talk to him
  24. Running Standard 17" tyres, a full tank of fuel, lots of crap in the boot, My T ran a 12.8 @ 108 with 255rwkw. Needed WAY more traction off the line and it could have knocked a few tenths more off that. Getting off the line cleanly and right on the edge of wheelspin is Critical to running a good time. you can flub the launch up or a shift and still post a good mph.
