MIVEC

I dunno Leigh, if I had a choice between having to look at your 33 or one of those God aweful fluro-coloured wogmobiles.... I know I'd be cheerin for ya!

What's the offset and stud pattern of a Skyline? I've got 4 16" Mitsubishi FTO mags sitting here.

Spotted in Gowrie: Gun metal gray 33 with gold wheels and an SAU stick across the back window. Sounded soooo nice.

Heh, imagine trying to put side intrusions bars in those doors. Paint the doors, lose the dinner-plate tacho and she's set!

But doesn't he always brag about how Gus swallows? Hehe.

You're giving him credit.

Mrs Palmer and her five daughters don't count as plans Beau ^_^

That was probably Sleeman, was it a stockers S1??

A real rich fella just down the road from me and Long has an R34, silver one. Might have been him.

Hey Gus, I hear there's nomore crazy bike trail/jumps anymore

While you just get queer in the butt.

Had a maroon R33 with a nice fat FMIC follow me up Isabella Drive. I must say the new lights they're putting there are totally going to screw that roundabout up. Going all British like, except they're only putting one set there. Asses.

Spotted: About 5 or 6 different R33's just in the Woden to Erindale area.

I was in Goulburn a month or so ago and the BP had the Ultimate bowsers....but they were all "Out of Order"

Spotted Leigh this morning (I think) on Erindale drive Also spotted the DTS R33 in Tuggers.

Not sure about the R34 but the tiptronic FTO has a gear indicator on the speedo so that when you're in tip mode you can just look at the speedo to see what gear you're in. And when it comes to stopping....you can downshift to 1st if you want or you can just roll to a stop and the car will automatically shift down to 1st once the RPM's are low enough.

I drive a Mitsubishi FTO with Tiptronic transmission. Most people don't understand exactly what it is Tiptronic is.....it is a totally automatic gearbox. Untill you push the shift lever over into sports mode at which point the car becomes manual.....so to speak. You can take the car to redline and it will bounce off the rev limiter untill you change it (this may vary from model to model as I hear the XR's automatically change up if you bounce off the limiter) The car will not change gear untill you tell it to. Disadvantages of tiptronics are that you can't really launch the car....unless you got your foot on the break to hold you there. Some people also tend to think that there is massive delay in between shifts....there isn't really, we're talking milliseconds here people. Another disadvantage is that they're freakin expensive if they break! Considering tiptronics are generally cheaper than manuals.....I say go for it......you can have just as much fun as manual but push it back into auto if you just wanna chill in traffic.

Durka durka!!

2 or 3pm I would have been in Dickson on Friday. There's only 3 of us with big veilside wings and I was going through Woden, but that was later on in the arvo.

It's not a Skyline but I'm willing to do formal runs in my car. Free of charge too...it's all about fun!

There's at least three other FTO's with the same wing as mine getting around town.....what time did you see "me"?

Spotted the "NISSAN" R34 in Woden, midday. R34's are such hot cars.....siigh.

!! You owned that silver FTO with the CF bonnet didn't you!! Where's she gone now?

Just go get Irfanveiw....its free and easy to use.

Hehe, go the Blues. We creamed you.....but I'll be damned if that wasn't a boring game of football.
