i spent $500 (inc install) for my black widow. From what I know it has 3 point imobb, 2 shock sensors and all black wires. It also has its own backup battery, so the siren will keep going once the normal car battery has been disconnected. I was just looking for something simple as its only for a 4wd.. So far I havent had any problems with it.. although when i used to live in melbourne, my building had an undercover car park and loud exhausts would set the shock sensors off..

on the subject of mags... i picked up a copy of SPEED (yellow cover with circuit GTR). I beleive its only its 2nd month now, but it seems pretty good and is well worth a read. NOTE: there are no pictures of hyundai excels in the whole magazine.... thankfully.

probably right.. who knows.. somehow i dont think it will get hot enough to create a problem. Even the airbox has been ice cold since putting it on.

well i spose if there is a car involved..... but any other time, a sane man would choose his skyline over family !:burnout:

mre - we havent heard much about your car... i assume its all been hassle free for you? anyway, the pan would have been fun, specially for the 1st time in a 'line too

sent it to some people in subaru.. will be interesting to hear their responses.. im sure they will appreciated the joke

cam - dont know what u mean by "turn up" - it was them thinking of the dyno day. toowomba.. where is that? how far from the nsw/qld border do you think?

went into subzero the other day and spoke to mick and he said that he was up for the dyno day after the jamboree.. where is this dyno day u have organised cam? they wont mind if i chuck my 4wd on for a 40kw run ?

the pod flter doesnt give me the power... its the K&N stickers that i got with it that make the difference.. re the mesh - we decided to use tabs on the edge to bend over and sikaflex.. should look nice.. decided to put some mesh on my surf now.

you said you wanted to "DO" her car... i thought u meant clean it... you siiickk person.

sure... but at $35, im sure there was a cheaper option that wasnt mesh?

not like you erin to miss out on a cruise..??? Michael (boxcar racer) told me he would wash your car if you come

using chopsticks maybe... *cough* rice *cough*. The aero dynamic effect of autobarn mesh will give u 10hp at the wheels for sure but as i said TABS GOD DAMMIT.

the technology park sounds like a good idea.. we are having a bbq on 10 aug and that would be a good idea to discuss further club stuff. also, i think we should have se qld Gran Tourismo 3 contest night..

gunmetal is the gts4 (La la lands), the white is a gtst (evilkarlos) and the silver is a 33 gtst (nizman).

its a little bit cleaner in the top pic

this one...

ALSO... lets see who has good eyes. anyone notice something that is shared on the top pic that SIR gtr posted and on this pic...

and another.. i think it looks ugly in this pic.. also, forget to mention, that by the end of the day the brembo's and newish (5000km's) brake pads couldnt handle the pressure and decided to give up going down the mountain.. a bit scarey to say the least.

here is a pic from one of our recent cruises. The STi took the mountain roads really well. It was taking recommended 50km/h corners at 140km/h.. without even sliding. I think I lost traction only twice all day, while even la_la (luke) got his gts4 sideways most corners. The STi was even with a slightly worked GTST... so its no rocket.. but as I said it has the traction advantage. also, its got a rice shift light which means it must be good

nice one welcome to SAU .

could be wrong but I read somewhere that there were XX amounts of red , ... xx amount of yellow etc, but red was most common, and then the other colours there were only 10 or so of each.. so maybe that would make this one even more of a catch.?

pics?

fuel is very bad becuase I floor it all the time... but driving from qld to vic.. i was getting 500km per 60l but that was doing 130km the whole time... at 3300 rpm, where 100km/h is only 2000rpm. rust not a problem at all. when your buying if its a 3ltr u wont have a problem, but a 2.4 make sure its had head work. Also heaps of them are accident damage. Umm.. also, diesels last forever but cost heaps to maintain, so make you get a well maintained one or you will be in for big bucks. Since having mine the main expense was the head.. then after that i had most belts and hoses replaced just due to age. Also a CV joint boot needed replacing but they break when something from the road flies up and hits them. Other than that I got a well maintained 2.4 with full recaro interior and it has been great and only costs $550 a year to insure (and im only 19).

disconnect your battery then leave something on the brake pedal to drain the power..
