  1. M3's are great, but i doubt they are near their limit. Dad's 996 Porsche comes with 250kw out of the factory. Then you can stick on air filters, higher flowing exhausts, different plenums etc etc. It hard to say what an engines limit is unless you have unlimited funds to find out. As for 7500 in an RB30, there is a bloke in QLD who runs an RB30 in his VK Commo race car. he disconnected the rev limiter and he reckons he revs it to 9000 with nothing more than a lumpier cam. Admitedly he doesn't care if it blows up in 20 starts, but its still a considerable amount past 7500.
  2. i wanted to get "45HZL" as in "For shizzle" but some lucky bastard has it already. i bet its someone who has never even seen the Snoop Dogg show on MTV! i am also thinking of going "07EIN" because of the coil overs
  3. I am 20 living in a good suburb in Brissy. I am buying a 1988 GTS-X that has been imported and insured for years. I knew i wasn't going to have fun as soon as people say "there's no such thing as a GTS-x" I am a member of a car club and CAMS and i have been insured for my Silhouette and Falcon (both sold now) for over 3 years without a claim, or even a speeding fine. Shannons gave me the arse in a second because i was under 25. So rude. RACQ didn't want to know me because i said yes to their 3 biggest doo-doos 1) its an import 2) its a turbo 3) its been modified (an intercooler you say? ooh thats bad!) So that leaves me no option but to go 3rd party with JCI. Havent got a quote back from them yet, but i'm not looking forward to it. I'm tipping it'll be about $1000 premium just for 3rd party. Still, that's better than the $5,000,000,000,000 they wanted at rip-off young and cool. As soon as i saw that name i new i was screwed. anyway, as usual it seems that having an interest in a car that the dead-heads never brought to Australia is as good as a criminal offence. Apart from JCI, anyone got any suggestions for me? I am only going to go 3rd party, or 3rd party fire and theft at the most and i would be happy to be a nominated driver if dad could insure it under his name... Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Andrew
  4. makes 1600's on the back of Porsches seem pretty stiff, even if they do have all the weight over the back
