I'm holding out to see it!

Keith Cowie ran a 9.38 in the UK last week, are you sure that's not what you're thinking of? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Ah,Keith's car:another "cheapie" just slapped together to run 9's...NOT! A very big dollar,tough car- http://www.totb.co.uk/movies/

Yep,as OS Giken RB30 kit are pretty standard...on huge dollar engine builds. What was the last price anyone has on one of these kits? I'm pretty sure they're not $1099 at Autobarn... I agree Keir's cars,and John Munro's and even Theo W's cars,are at least closely related to the cars we drive,with the possible exception of HUGE amounts of development hours("free labour" or not;someone is paying somewhere for all that R & D),oh,and a small bank heist job on each car's complete set up. Anyone that says you can strap a STRONG RB26DETT(even without budgeting in an OS G. kit)and just slap it into a standard car and rip off a 9 or an 8 is beyond dreaming. I began reading about the development of these cars several years ago;and K's and J's cars were already running respectable time then:development was already underway. So,I'd assume that each car doesn't sit for months at a time doing nothing,then the covers get pulled off and they run a faster time. Whatever is done in between passes costs money,and it's not lunch money... People:where's the hard facts on these U.S. and U.K. cars that are running such times? I think we'll all find it will go from "relatively standard car runs a 9" to "oh,a fully researched and prepped and funded car rolls out a 9". DoughBoy,you started this(LOL)-time to 'fess up.Do you really think all they did was:"1/ Add turbos and a couple of other bolt ons 2/ Remove carpet + add cage 3/ Fit up Nittos (a must!) "?!?

F.Y.I. And I'll see those of you that can make it on Sunday,'K?

Saw Leech's ride parked securely in Manuka last night(at least I think it was Leech's...),and an R34 GT 4 door,dark blue,parked near Deep Dish restaurant(also in Manuka...)

Go and see Daniel Jitz at Shaftmasters-he owns a BIG Kw Supra,and has been playing with all things to do with diff's,boxes etc. If he can't help you directly,it's a fair bet he'll know who can!

Spotted a clean R33 GTS-T with a carbon bonnet,no rear wing,in a lighter shade of "Top Secret" gold with chrome rims circulating around Jerra' this afternoon...

Second this post! Heeeoooge congrat's to Buster! Serious haulage! Keep up the great work!

Bored,yes,but methinks funny,too! Also spotted same white R34 GTR in said undisclosed area last night- -niiiice. So;is said R34 owner on here?

:lol: :lol:

You need to talk to Pro Engines in Stevens Road,Queanbeyan...

This month...sorry!

These are just simple enough to be funny ! Have a good day ! 1. Two antennas meet on a roof, fall in love and get married. The ceremony wasn't much, but the reception was excellent. > 2. Two hydrogen atoms walk into a bar. One says, "I've lost my electron." The other says, "Are you sure?" The first replies, "Yes, I'm positive..." > 3. A jumper cable walks into a bar. The bartender says, "I'll serve you, but don't start anything." > 4. Two peanuts walk into a bar, and one was a salted. > 5. A sandwich walks into a bar. The bartender says, "Sorry we don't serve food in here." > 6. A dyslexic man walks into a bra. > 7. A man walks into a bar with a slab of asphalt under his arm and says: "A beer please, and one for the road." > 8. Two cannibals are eating a clown. One says to the other: "Does this taste funny to you?" > 9. "Doc, I can't stop singing 'The Green, Green Grass of Home.'" "That sounds like Tom Jones Syndrome." "Is it common?" Doc says, "It's Not Unusual." > 10. Two cows standing next to each other in a field, Daisy says to Dolly, "I was artificially inseminated this morning." "I don't believe you," said Dolly. "It's true, no bull!" exclaimed Daisy. > 11. An invisible man marries an invisible woman. The kids were nothing to look at either. > 12. A man takes his Rottweiler to the vet and says, "My dog's cross-eyed, is there anything you can do for him?" "Well," says the vet, "let's have a look at him." So he picks the dog up and examines his eyes, then checks his teeth. Finally, he says, "I'm going to have to put him down." "What? Because he's cross-eyed?" "No, because he's really heavy." > 13. I went to buy some camouflage trousers the other day but I couldn't find any. > 14. I went to the butcher's the other day and I bet him 50 bucks that he couldn't reach the meat off the top shelf. He said, "No, the steaks are too high." > 15. I went to a seafood disco last week...and pulled a mussel. > 16. What do you call a fish with no eyes? A fsh. > 17. Two termites walk into a bar. One asks, "Is the bar tender here?" > 18. Polish joke: A Polish immigrant goes to the Wisconsin Department of Motor Vehicles to apply for a driver's license. He has to take an Eye Test. The optician shows him a card with the letters 'C Z W I X N O S T A C Z'. "Can you read this?", the optician asks. "Read it?" the Polish man replies, "I know the guy."

Well,now that yesterday's SAU drag day got postponed,how about it:everyone up to WSID for whatever new date is set?I believe sat'dy the 26th is the proposed new date...

Yep,I couldn't get near a 'puter 'till just earlier...Stoopid me for leaving earlier ! Still,I'm assuming I also missed a whole day of racing,had it gone ahead. Whilst a trackday would've gone ahead,no matter the conditions,it's a a right royal pain in the proverbial that the powers that be canned todays' meeting. Still,I"ll probably still do six hours return drive to watch 'Lines hurl themselves down the strip at WSID! Who made the call anyway? I know it's more Mother Nature's fault,but it's gotta suck being the person that canned a day that didn't receive a drop after it was pulled...meh;bring on the next day!!

Big poof drag racers?That's a bit harsh,init?I thought it was the officialdom that canned the day for all & sundry...even those of us trackday nutters that drove 3 hours to watch a different type of motorsport that still involves our favorite brand/s of car. So...anyone else feel ripped off that not another drop fell AFTER the day was postponed?!?

I'll mirror all the comments re:Powertone-excellent service at the right price in my experiences!

As the Frogs would say:"Touche!"

Groan... Alright,then:non-"p.c." joke time: Worlds shortest joke:a baby Harp seal walks into a club... Speaking of short jokes:two Elephants fall off a cliff:Boom Boom! A man is running late to work,so he's off down the road in his Skyline(naturally...)in a rush. Cresting a bridge at a larger-than-legal velocity,a Police officer steps out from behind a bush with his radar gun and springs our hero for speeding.The officer,after checking out the youth's licence and car,say "Why the rush,son?" The youth replies"I'm late for work,officer" Officer:"What sort of work do you do?" Youth:"I'm a rectum stretcher" Officer:"A what?What do you have to do at your work if you're a rectum stretcher?" Youth:"I start with an a***hole,insert a device until it's 6 inches big,then a different device until it's 2 feet big,and then we finish off inserting another device again until the a***hole is 6 feet large." Office:"What do you do with a 6 foot a***hole,son?" Youth:"Put him behind a bush near a bridge,and give him a radar gun!"

Sorry R.;got a huge day at WSID helping TWOOGLE(long story...)go faster by yelling stupidly,cleaning the windscreen,dancing like an idiot in front of other competitors to throw their 60 ft times off,and any other little tasks required of me to help the car run faster...LOL!In short,sorry:can't make it! Hope some of the crew show up,tho'! P.S. I don't think I've said "welcome" to the forums!So;Hi!

Schweeet! All is good;it'd be great to see you and your Dad at the Marques in the Park!

Hi Slither:ditto R31DET's comment-spotted you car a number of times. VERY neat,I'd say. Top colour,too! Congrats!

G'day S! Where ya been? Welcome back to...ummm...here,I guess!LOL.

Hey HEY! Welcome back! I've been wondering where you and your Dad have been! To quote some movie:"it's been quiet...TOO quiet..." since...the Summernats,I believe?
