Hahahah you bloody liar. I have proof NB - I dont really, but it would make it twice as comedy if I did.

Camerons Body Works does the painting for street machines and autoshop and they all come out looking sweet. Maybe give Cameron a call? Zoixy got his 33 painted there and touched up etc, and it's sweet as.

Some V8s sound fantastic.... Others, sound like a fat man farting on a leather couch in a concert hall. Also, a nice V8 is about equal to such turbo cars as 'PANIC' and the like I reckon.

Also, the little trooper (brutis) is full of water. Stupid little trooper and his inability to keep rain on the OUTSIDE of the car. Some would blame the lack of seals....

I checked brutis' oil. And water and stuff. Little trooper that he is.

You people talk too much :S

Funnily enough, we have totally opposite experiences :S Optimax the car runs fine, gives (relatively) ok fuel economy, smells nice when it burns.... Ultimate it keeps misfiring, stalling at idle and gives really bad economy. Bizzare huh? So yeah, we use optimax. My laser runs on whatever bowser I pull up at, be it optimax, LRP, ULP or PULP. Havent tried diesel yet, but I dare say it will run on that too ... 1980s ECUs give no fark for fuel. Or o2 sensor readings. Or more than one map. My ECU is no more advanced than some little chinese kid with an abacus.

I wear the pants in OUR relationship. When erin lets me anyway

Gavin Wood Autotech (www.autech.net.au) has it... The website for it is www.fc-datalogit.co.nz if you are after a legit copy for yourself. Naughty copies I cant help you with

I was being a knob in the work van yesterday morning and slid to a stop with the handbrake before wheel spinning (in the wet, omg im such a hero) around the corner into the side street I go to work by and didnt realise there was a marked car sitting in traffic literally 10m away. He had a stare, but never chased or nothing. Oh well, he saw the boostcruising.com sticker on the back so maybe he'll visit the site. And upload his ride to the members ride. Then, make a cruise journal entry.

My god, finally someone else who finds that fascinating! I often drive the car and hold throttle and go "look erin, look! the engine rpm stays the same, the throttle is the same, but watch the boost! *boost comes up to a positive pressure*" She never seems to get quite so excited as I do ... that comment applies to a lot of things actually. I get entertained by stupid things. Like the design of quilts (they do squares so the feathers dont all go to one end... GENIUS!)

The trouble with that theory is that the 34 was always meant to be a good car with a decent build quality. The HSV VX GTS is just a cheap sales rep car with some minor trimmings and a massive sales tag

PowerFC, AVCR, Adjustable exhaust cam gear, FMIC, big-arse exhaust and a good tuner. Will get plenty of power from stock manifolds / turbos / injectors.

Amen to that. I love optus cable. Back on topic for a moment (omg omg omg), the most important thing to bring to a cruise is common sense. Think, then act. And when I say think, I dont mean think about how cool is going to make you look. Skids on gravel near cars != cool Skids on clean bitumen away from cars == win Tailgating on mountain runs != cool Not having a UHF radio != cool ..etc

Ah yes, the old riced-up-gtst arguement. Just whats needed.

That reminds me of a time at Aspley Maccas (yeah I know I know) that had a few of us giggling.... A car pulled out of the hypermarket carpark where we were standing (waiting for a cruise to start actually) and its tires made the smallest of chirps as it went over the white line. *BANG* Commodore cop car coming the other way slams on the brakes, hooks a u-turn with the inside wheel squeeling and howling as all 14 horses of the commodore V6 went to ground and speeds off after him with the commo rattle-fart noise of the V6 louder than the chirp originally. "OMG! HE CHIRPED THE WHEEL! *hand brake u-turn*, *burnout launch*, *high speed chase*"

I blame DSL. The arse of broadband.

I just use intarweb exploder ftp... [url="ftp://username<img%20src="]ftp://username:[email protected][/url] Easy / simple / works

Throttle body was all gummed up iirc AFM could be reading arse, wether due to covered in K&N filter cleaning oil or just plain rooted. TPS could be a bit dick. CAS could be a bit dick. ECU could be loose. A wire could be loose. Brutis never has these problems, does he?

That is the coolest thing I've ever heard. Donuts. In a ute. With a BBQ on the back. I have a new idol and his name is Fatz (be better if it was Dazza?)

We followed the Astra and took photos of it (oh how the hunter has become the hunted! ho ho ho). We got followed by a cop ute though. Took it for a trip around the gold coast, showed it some sights and a good time. Quite amusing, they followed us from one end of the coast to the other and back again along back streets and highway alike. We were giggling the whole time. If they followed much longer, I was gonna hop out and give them an invoice for tour guide fees

That, and a big difference of opinion.

When we had the kingswood (mild 308, very tough sounding though) it was nothing but grins and thumbs up from the crowd... Now we got a skyline, its anger and agression from other import owners and sneers from on lookers. Amazing. I miss the world of v8s, but with fuel and rego costs so high.... **** that

I've made 3 moofies now. You may call me steven spielburg teh great.

My bottoms itchy. y0. Why arent you watching my moofie?
