I've played a mates G-25 and its bloody nice havent played it with GT but he has a subscription for Live for Speed (which is pretty cool).... virtual drifting is great fun -D

This is my fave pic of my car atm...

Oh ruby wouldnt u just love a show with Amanda Blair, Amber Petty and Nicole Cornes? They'd prescribe it in preference of frontal lobe lobotomies I think.... either that, or they're keeping that combination off the air in fear that the suicide rate of SA would suddenly skyrocket... -D

In Sydney, you cant tell the difference, there are many flavours of chocolate ;D -D

Skylines? Arent those da fooly sik cars dat come wiv da 12 subwoofers from da factory? so sik uleh...esp wiv a 6" tin on da end yo -D

Yeah I reckon we should organize a pool of jelly so they can wrestle their differences out.... -D

The liberty on OG Road has it for $1.06, cheaper if you get the ethanol blended stuff (cheaper again if you have a shopping docket saver thing)... not bad for cars that dont require premium.. -D PS Happy birthday Tangles!

+1 for that quote alone. God, you're sounding like me when I was a sysadmin ;P Anywho, bitchiness aside, I just got a full tank of 98% Mobil 8000 from the Mobil on the corner of Fosters Road & North East Road @ Greenacres.... premium for $1.22 a litre which is great considering it was $1.55 2 weeks ago.... 60 litres cost me just over $70... love it I suggest everyone take advantage of Tuesdays fuel cycle -D

Dan, you're more full of shit than a colostomy bag with a broken tap.... I know you've been playing Dark Crusade ;P -D

Those pics r sex. Love the paint job.... wish I had one as good ;P -D

And I got enuff wog blood in my veins too. What, do you think u got the copyright on slang? Relax. I could give a rats arse if they call me or anyone else a wog, its all about the context and considering the bloke wasnt attacking anyone on the board, I think you're taking this way too personal. -D

Maybe he was listening to the Best Of Starship (hint; its a really short album) http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=p0cf0bDYqe0

Wog is a state of mind, not a racist term. The amount of australian wogs out there boggles the mind. -D

Speaking of air cons, anyone know a place that repairs dodgy air mix door/actuators? Mines short circuited and requires a replacement -D

Yeah what a dropkick eh.... surprised nothing more has been said about what charges the driver is going to face... -D

Yes its the second one -D

Hahaha pete for an old bugger you're a funny dude lol (k) PM incoming -D

I see your 10 and raise you 25. Beat THAT! -D

mine was $200, you'd better ring him for a definitive quote tho -D

Yeah it made perfect sense. I suppose thats why if you have shockproof and you shift like a ham fisted git then you might have some problems.... but if u drive it normally, maybe it'll be fine? Not sure eh... we need 10 people to get rebuilds and volunteer so we can test the theory (and write this clause where we both dont pay for damages haha) -D

I'm not sure about that; for a definitive answer I'd have to run scientific tests, requiring brand new boxes and a sampling distribution of at least a dozen cars ;P However I wonder if the viscosity and pressure differences might prevent the synchro from aligning correctly and then causing the problem. The main thing I see as being a downside with a synchro crunch you cant feel is that u cant adjust your shifting to compensate (ie meaty fist vs letting the gears slide in). On an 18 year old box like mine, theres no definitive answer but I really do trust my mechanics word. -D

Shes right, even if she might have heard it on the grapevine. Certainly the age and abuse of the box come into play, there is no question of that, however theres also no question that the shockproof crap destroys synchros. My mechanic (who is different to Kellies mechanic incidentally) said the exact same thing when I took it to him for the first trans service after I bought the car. He drained it and put in conventional oil (aka not the blue shit) which made the synchro issues more noticable. Basically the redline stuff cushions the blow when the synchros dont mesh. You feel it more while you have conventional oil because it has a different viscosity and density. When you have the shockproof stuff, its still doing the damage, u just dont feel it. There was even a notice on the redline website for a time which advised NOT using shockproof on any synchromesh gearbox. Its pretty much meant for dogboxes (not sure about straight cut boxes). In either case, my box is shagged. I'll be getting a replacement 33gtr S2 box but I sure as hell won't be using anything that looks like smurf diarrhea to lubricate it... -D

Mate who the f**k are you talking about? This guy is a one man operation and he comes to your house/business. There is no 'they'. He spent 7 hours detailing my car while I was able to do my housework. Tony used to work at Lexus doing details and has started to do his own work. Do some research before you knock a bloke, k? That said, here are some pictures of the handiwork (resized and cropped). Two thumbs up (Sadly I had no before pictures) but if you'd like to check the car out in person it'll be at Berri this Sat at their Show n Shine -D

yeah a64 3200 w1gig corsair low latency + x800 XT PE.... sux -D

Waiting for World of Warcraft : Wrath of the Lich King expansion out next Fri.... gonna be fun I'd buy some 3d shooters but my pc is 3 yrs old and struggles as it is -D
