  1. Definatly.. And it would it's seem easier to adapt to the 'ricyer' style articles where they know they will sell X number of magazines per month. Totally agree with RVR Hyper sports gear as a new build up car.. Awesome little car with so much potential. I collect every DB and the last couple of issues(especially #13) have been a little dissapointing compared to earlier issues. And the Dvd that was included in the latest HPI issue - Possibly the worst thing HPI has ever been affiliated with IMO. I'm not here for HPI bashing in any respect, just please don't follow down the Fast Fours route!! Keep it for the real enthuisiasts.
  2. 32 4 door vertex seems to be a little troublsome to get a hold of.. Popular too. Go figure.
  3. Does anyone else rckon HPI seems do be going down hill? The last 5 or so issues have slowly been pushing my position of an 'avid reader' to more like 'meh didn't quite finish reading all of that one, hope the next one is better' Are they getting over comercialized? I feel they are loosing focus somewhat, in that they are trying to please a much larger fan base than say 2 years ago.
  4. Where are you? Who made it? Pics?
  5. 85URK you make it sound too easy! Firstly you have to organise third party insurance. Then on the appliction form it states- If the vehicle does not comply with the transport operations (Road Use Management - Vehicle standards and Safety) Regulation 1999 a Police Permit must be obtained Haha that would have been good to see the 33 screaming off it's tits
  6. I concur.
  7. How lenient are our friends in blue when they issue these fine pieces of paper? Will rims sticking outside the guards, low ride height etc get passed?
  8. Thanks heaps for the input fella's... I'm actually more worried about the 1.5cm tear wich looks to be on the sealing point of the bead.. Update with pics hopefully when I get the rim back in a week or so.. btw just been looking on the Falken site and the approved rim width for Azenis st115 235/40R18 is 8.0-9.5
  9. In wich case your opinion means nothing to me.. Another unconstructive comment.. No I don't know, but judging by the trouble they had at cracking the bead, and the fact that they used the two different exuses, one being the tyre size as a fault. Wich brings us to your next point. You will find you are contridicting yourself somewhat, in that this tyre place is what you would call unreputable.
  10. I'll say electrical most likely, then look at the pump.
  11. There is potential IMO.. Big Euro style flairs etc, Big stinking turbo... Would make most rwd Skylines look silly Question left is what transmission are they using?
  12. Yeah this what I mean, there was no warning.. How good is this bead sealer stuff?
  13. The right hand front holds pressure fine, as do the rears running 245/40's on 11's 15cm tear inside the bead is unlikely Umm.. I would expect anyone earning money to work on any part of my car to not damage it Wouldn't you?
  14. Baby on board sticker, you have much to teach us wise man Doubt that would help much with my situation though
  15. R18/40/235 stretched over a 10 inch rim. Tear runs along the inside of the bead. Also a small tear on the sealing edge around 1.5cm's. If it was my mums Mirage I would have let it fly, but these tyres are big $$$ new, tread is around 60-70% Sorry yeah no digicam atm..
  16. Meh, Enzo bores me somewhat.. 8m is a little too extavagent. An F40 with twin Porsche variable vein turbo's would make me a very happy man..
  17. Had the local tyre shop remove my Falken Azenis tyre from my bent front wheel the other day... Only noticed when I got home that there was some pretty significant dammage to the sealing edge of the tyre, the worst being a tear along the inside edge of around 15 cm's! I was watching them do it and it looked like they were having a bit of trouble trying to crack the bead, or what ever its called when the use the hydroic claw thingo. There was also some light gauging left on the rim band. Their excuse is along the lines of "How do you know it wasn't like that beforehand" and "The tyre was under sized for the rim" < WTF? Why did you touch it if you couldn't gaurentee the tyre wouldn't be damaged. What do I do? Try come to a deal with the tyre shop where I end up with a matching pair of perfomance R18/235/40 tyres? Can't see that happening.. Office of fair trading?
  18. Looks like an Astra. Will be interesting to see how HSV will enhace the supposed better handling the ve is meant to have.
  19. I could be interested in floor mats and late model grill in good nic+
  20. Try Gasresearch, They specialize in high performance LPG set-ups.
  21. I'd rather take my chances... ftp sigh*
  22. I think only non hicas ones fit...
  23. Group buy of land surrounding Lakeside Raceway?.... I woould rather wake to the noise of 'Brraaaap...BRAAAPAAaaappp!!! in the morning rather than some weener birds.
  24. As if your gonna get pulled up for no brake light. If you do need to go through rwc/regency etc just plonk a $12 one from K-Mart on the parcel shelf.
