  1. Finally a Honda worth buying...
  2. You won't know until you try it. The stock coils can run at that power level but they are starting to age quite a bit so might start breaking down at any point. Aftermarket coils (Splitfires) are so damn cheap these days (~$500) that its good insurance if you can stretch the budget.

  9. Haha that bloke certainly gets around!
  10. Because he has a public image and fan base to keep happy and the 2nd incident (3rd for you) made him look like a bad sport.
  11. The article says exactly what I stated above, yet Nascar still called Gordon as being in the wrong (which he was for the 2nd incident but not the first which started it all).
  12. From the footage I seen, Gordon made a clean pass up the inside of the corner, then Ambrose gave him a nudge on the way out of the corner and turned Gordon around. It was Ambrose that should have gone back to position 12 not Gordon.
  13. Maybe what you should be saying is how does someone not get black flagged for shunting the leader off the track (thats what ambrose did).

    Brendan your car vs a stock gtr would be a very interesting race doing flat or low 13's. Low 12's is easy it just requires some money and a good driver.

    I'll be there..... spectating
  17. That's what worries me about the extensions.
  18. RB25, R32 GTS-t.
  19. I'm on the fence on this 1. It's a fact of life these days to expect police to be in these type of area's picking up speeding drivers. I'd rather the cops spend an hour waiting outside an event like this than spending an entire weekend out cruising the hwy's picking them off 1 at a time. It's a much smarter way of doing business from the police point of view. If the police were to start defecting then I would be pissed. Anybody that enters/exits the WSID/EC venues driving over the speed limit deserves to get a ticket, the police have been doing it since the day WSID opened and will do it until the day it closes. The 2 roads are the perfect area to go a casual 10 or 20 over the speed limit (60km/h) which can easily be done without even deliberately meaning it. I do the drive atleast once a week and atleast once a week I get some idiot flashing me from behind or overtaking me because they can't handle sitting on 60km/h behind me. The problem is that not all attendee's of WSID are into cars like users of this forum are. Their are the people that are into it seriously and compete, their are spectators that are enthusiasts that either compete casually or would like to compete, their are regular joe's that enjoy watching the sport but have no other interests (and drive camry's) and then their are the "hoons" which have enough money to spectate but not enough money (or brains) to compete or simply don't think it is cool enough doing it legally on the strip. I'd throw a $50 on it that these were the majority of drivers that were booked outside the venue. It is quite annoying that the media decide to show footage of the legal drag racing and tie it in with illegal street racing and/or speeding drivers. The general public are left with images of young people doing burnouts and speeding cars in their head when in actual fact it was all perfectly legal. What annoys me most is that on sunday I drove 400km/h to Newcastle and back and didn't see 1 single cop car, not 1 single hwy patrol on the m4, m2 or f3.
  20. Buy an oil filter relocator and mount it wherever you want.
  21. Maybe my eyes were mistaking me then when last wednesday lunchtime I was at my local markets and drove past a chick in a commodore doing a massive burnout in a public carpark to then watch 2 plain clothed police pull over in a commodore stationwagon with flashing lights on the dash and get out holding their badges up to the chicks window.
  22. All parts still available.
  23. If you mean "undercover" as in "plain clothed police officers" if so yes they do drive commodores.
