  1. Ariel Atom! It uses a Honda Vtec engine from a Civic Type R and the ballistic version has a super charger!! Apparently it does 0-100 in like 2.9 seconds - NUTS It beat the Koenigsegg and the Porcshe GT and all the other exotics around a UK airport test track designed by Lotus to really compare cars, only the Enzo was faster by a fraction of a second. The best thing is that this car is only like AU$70K... If you didn't need to carry luggage and parked it in mid winter you'd be laughing and still have money to fork out on a house. It looks like a mini F1 car WICKED.
  2. I've been really impressed with Hankook’s, have been driving them really hard for the better half of a year and they’ve lasted outstandingly. A whole heap of grip and are surprisingly sticky.. surely there are always going to better/more expensive (and softer for that matter – wear out faster). Worth considering for good street use. Also, my old 33 gtst used to Severely waste tires because It had aftermarket coilovers (teins – which were excellent for spirited driving!) and the tires would die easily on the outer side. Should have forked out for a chamber kit. Thank god the 32 with Ohlins doesn’t seem to be as bad as the 33.
  3. Beefy – excellent choice of vehicles, let us know hpw the FD rotary compared!
  4. Intersesting.. let us know how much were looking at? Ball Park!
  5. They are wicked aren't they!! INAST - yeah there are heaps of programs that can convert divx,xvid etc into DVD's, vcd.. SuperDVD Creator I know can Rrrage - if you look in the final gear forums you'll see there are a few FTP sites with EVERY Top/Fifth Gear and a sheiit load of Automotive and Clarkson videos - well worth the trouble trying to connect as there is like 50gig worth - tasty stuff
  6. Yeah, my passenger side is fine and my drivers side window can Always go up, although seriously, on warmer days it won't go down. Someone had mentioned to take the door panel off and clean the contacts on the switch. I haven't had time yet to try - though certainly worth a go
  7. Excellent.. great use of standard switches - I like! Well then please put me down too!! Thanks Duncan
  8. How does the jaycar boost controller compare to the $500 - $700 mainstream EBC's? If there just as good put me down!! - have most tuners come accross these? Cheers
  9. Hi Duncan, In regards to the standard radio operating the unit.. is that the toggle switches on the left of the drivers gauge consol as opposed to the centre consol (32)? My car came with an aftermarket stereo so not sure if the stanndard radio was mounted in the centre consol and like some modern cars there was also control switches nearer the driver. Cheers
  10. Very interested.. can't wait for the pics
  11. DUDE!! well now you wouldn't want to be inside that
  12. Ok Cheers, I'll try cleaning them
  13. As strange as it sounds my drivers side window seems to not want to go down on hot days. It's been happening heaps and oddly enough ONLY when it's really warm! it's otherwise fine, I can use it even on reallt rough roads - so I'd imagine that it's not a loose connection - weird. I haven't had a chance to take off the door lining and check out the connections etc - Just wondering if anyones experienced this before
  14. When I purchased my 32 the passangers seat had a cigarette burn on it.. I'd imagine that theres not a whole bunch you can do to repair suade, just thought I'd ask incase anone has had any success or ideas
  15. Other Japanese Performance tuning shops off the top of my head are: Morpowa - 8264 2077 Tilbrooks Auto & Dyno - 8261 8619 Japanese Motosport - 8260 6919 Always good to know that you can ring around for prices
  16. Whilst walking around town I've noticed quite a few VL Turbo's in Adelaide. I used to have an r33 gtst and naturally I'd imagine handling, interior etc to be far superior.. though how does a 'typical' street driven VL turbo cut its mustard with the rest?
  17. Always lacked decent stonk even the turbo (what are they the SP models or something).. although nearly every motor journalist praised it for it's brilliant handling characteristics. I'd love to see a rotary in it.. the engine being lightweight and with for more power available than it's current little NA and turbo mills. But toatlly aggreed.. the new looks are like what the bug-eyed rex was to Subaru!!
  18. That's such an arbitory question.. Stage 1's average Price / KW is going to be a lot cheaper than further development stages. How long is a piece of string
  19. Help appretiated. Are All RB Crank Angle Sensors the same?? IE I have an r32 gtr.. will an RB20 or RB25 sensor retro fit as mines farked? Cheers
  20. Aparantly it's sold out - which kind of bites. I have heard that a few tickets will be available on Wed. at the show grounds, though I wouldn't imagine many.
  21. This car has and still is driving around Adelaide: Nuf Said!
  22. point taken... duely noted
  23. must have been what happened to the REX scoop I still can't comprehend how that thing hasn't been defected yet! like having particularly large cardboard fabrications flying off your car all over the road is safer than a car that is slightly lowered and has a bov
  24. Perhaps not the proverbial tarmac weapon one brings to mind! Saw this today near Rostrevor, had seen it a day or two ago when it still had it's wrx scoop
  25. PM me
