  1. damn that mercedes pace car sounded good (during onboard footage)
  2. and they reckon more rain on the way within 15 mins
  3. yep, and spyker front row, now that's crazzy
  4. red flag, race restart, webber kept out of trouble, will start the "restart" 4th
  5. wowww, crazy start, pissed down rain half way through first lap, 6 cars in the sand on one corner, tractor comes to get them, another car slides into tractor (ony just). crazzzy
  6. I tell ya, I been looking for ages for a site like this. plus http://85.92.128.155/~myp2p/index.htm under other sports, it shows a bunch of sources for different sports, including f1
  7. I had the problem of I only have foxtel satellite in the bedroom and want to watch F1. With no Ch10 on foxtel satellite, I finally found a site that will let you stream it free. http://embedded-tv.com/wiki/index.php/F1 All you need to install is sopcast (no registration required). also shows all of the pre races (GP2 on now).
  8. hey falcon73, looks bloody awesome. I was wondering when you'd finally get it in, looked impressive when out of the car (I come n bought some interior bits off ya). Here's my engine bay, a credit to the last owner though, still nice none the less.
  9. mmmm interesting. Not sure what the thickness of the bolts are, nor the pressure running through them but hope a warranty issue doesn't ever come about. I've seen a few blokes around here that are doing the bonnet vents for cooling with impressive results. Not as quick or easy, but maybe worth it if you got high temps.
  10. so potentially heavier car, less low down torque, even ralph wiggan knows that doesn't make sense. combine with twinturbo, gonna be some lag....
  11. either way, the main lines of the car match the spy pics. in short, very impressive. the ass looks like they started with an aston martin and worked backwards. trading up the 11 sec xr6t,mmmm, I dont think I could go back to a normal power car. once I got extra $$ for mods, that will be a different story.
  12. a mate of mine has bought from these guys for his r34 skyline and I must say I'm impressed. To look and sit in them today, I wouldnt have know they were just covers. The covers didnt slip or wrinkle funny (been in the car for 6months +). I'll get a couple piccy's of it to post
  13. yeah some how I got forwarded an email on this this morning. I'm surprised they stayed this long after shell and castrol are gone. Guess they were sick of the silly fly's ad with Rus...
  14. I went the K104's in but in 275x30x19, paid $360 so will be a bit cheaper for the 245x35's. Jax's tyres were the cheapest. I must say they are very quiet for a low profile tyre and quite good grip. I have noticed on these cold mornings though a bit more power with the cold and a bit less road temp makes em a bit slippery. I running 320rw though so its certainly workn the tyres.
  15. looks like dog balls, functional yet ugly.
  16. I've had bad experience with gold coast car sound at slacks creek. They made a gaint box when I asked for something else, wired the subw wrong (in series, not parallel when the amp they supplied didnt support this way) and then sold me a cap that wasn't needed when the amp cut out for the wrong wiring. Go to http://www.caraudioaustralia.com/ and post there, there are some serious stereo boys there with recommendations from experience.
  17. thankyou heaps ninka, will get on me back again this weekend and see how I go. hopefully can see/feel this little gear without pulling the car to bits.
  18. cheers mate, keep me posted. I was gonna book into ford at start of july for inspection only and then do the work meself but let me know how you go.
  19. Hey mate is it the grey or silver? The grey around mine is SNB 150 Desert Rose Met. You can see where the guy painted his surround around his second stereo install. http://blazovic.customer.netspace.net.au/I...ll/IMG_2902.JPG Hope it helps
  20. farkkkkk, so lucky.....I was at powercruise today and say the rdp xr8 TT running 1230 odd hp and I saw how that thing stood up on the dyno.....
  21. just got back from powercruise and its bloody freezing here too
  22. happy help, but am a little more blue.....print.
  23. Hey mate, would do but im in brissy but seriously, give it a go as its really that easy. 30 minute job and walla.
  24. indeed, but powers a drug man. I run 320rw and neeeeed more. Its beyond a must, its a need now. Just ask some of the 400+ boys, they start with the same 240fw.....
  25. from what I've seen and read, mark 1 internals have a question mark. Running anywhere up to 320rw will break eventually, but nowhere near as quick as 350+ but lets be real, its all about how its driven. There's fellas, and girls, that run 260rw that drive hard most of the time and break em where others with 300+ drive normal with the odd stab and last for yonks.
