I've never seen a modified Lada in oz either, but I wouldn't be interested in it.

I have modded a Lada with fellow SAU club members!!! Yes.... i admit, it was after a few beers and a hacksaw may have been involved, but once we had finished.... it sounded awesome and it easily had 50+kw's added!!! :D

Oh and in the last 2 days I've spotted 2 Ferrari 430's. A Yellow Scud, then a 'normal' red one!

mazda 626 wagon in geelong yesterday, sporting a very nice body kit just revealing enough cooler core. lowerd black wheels on white car, and looked like a carbon fiber tail gate.

very much a sleeper

That would be my mates car, i think he'll find it quite amusing that its been posted in a thread with super cars ;)

Spotted an Aston Martin DB9 on my way to Chapel Street last night. He was letting it rip at every set of lights. I tried to race him for shits and giggles :P Needless to say, with 3X the amount of cylinders as me he kinda won... Just ;)

yep thats the one

and i was more or less stating you dont see things like that everyday , unlike these audi r8's i see everywere

Driving home towards Tooradin on Friday night.

Saw three cars giving way to me, all spotless even though they had just come from a dirt road - may have been some kind of show...

Yellow Lamborghini Galliardo (Gorgeous)

Red Mitsubishi GTO (Very, very nice)

Red Falcon XR6 (talk about hanging out with others that make you look U.G.L.Y.)

Damn that Lambo looked ace :D

(Prefer the Murch though)

hsv factory is on westal road, intersection with center and westal.

Probably taking the car on a test drive.

Have seen plenty of w427's flying past recustoms :D

Yeah, and the Test track is in Lang Lang.

I see a LOT of "right hand drive" Holden/Chevy's around my area.

spotted a black Chev Camaro soft top turning onto westal road out of a bathroom factory after work today

same camaro as Bumble Bee Transformers

Yeah, have seen that thing probably 6 or 7 times between Pakenham & Koo Wee Rup.

Very underwhelming machine... especially in the wet.

Dude driving does not like to be overtaken either :D

Black Lambo Countach this morning on Flinders st.

Still a p-ron vehicle!

Heh, you had that poster of the black Countach with the blond chick crawling up the bonnet in your room when you were a kid didn't you?

.... and you weren't the only one :D

    • Duncan:- it affect both sides.  Driver side is worse.
    • That seems like a very special issue!  Does it affect both sides? Either way, I would disconnect the driver's side switch and see if it still happens, noting that might require removal of the whole door card which is a bit of a pain (it does on V37 and HY51)  
    • MBS206:- The windows start to slowly open themselves. GTSBoy:- Battery is new since Dec. 
    • I currently have a 2008 370GT Coupe, with the big brakes (Akebeno if I'm correct), and Its coming time to get new pads. Previously, I had a 2003 350GT Coupe with the stock sized brakes, not Brembos. I had custom wheels on it that were pretty open to the brakes, and when I first put the wheels on it, the rims where completely coated with brake dust. A few years after adding the new rims, I needed to change to pads on that car. I didn't do any research, but I told the mechanic of the problem with the brake dust. I also told him I didn't track the car or even drive around the streets harshley. But the dust was an issue. The mechanics changed the pads to a different compound, and the dust was GONE! The other change I noted was that when coming to a complete stop, instead of having to press harder on the pedal as I approached 0kph, I had to actually lift off a little to not come to a hard jerky stop.( My unfounded explanation is they became stickier as they heated by stopping ) Since I got my 370gt with big brakes, I noticed that that as I came closer to stopping, I had to press harder and harder to reach a full stop. I am not talking about hard, just harder. I brought the car in from another state, so when I had a blue slip done, I asked the mechanic what he thought of the brakes, and he thought they were brilliant. The only negative of these pads on the 350GT, was that they squealed when cold. So driving out of a shopping center carpark, it was a little embarrassing, as the brakes squealed, and I am sure people thought that I needed new brakes, when they were actually fresh. I have no idea of what type of compound they were on the 350gt, but whatever it was, I want to get the exact same on my 370GT. They weren't ridiculously expensive, and were replaced at the local JAX (which is no longer open), so I am certain they would be a pretty common big brand, off the shelf type/brand. My current mechanic suggested I need top get the rear pads changed soonish, but he suggested standard Brembo pads. Which I expect to behave the same as the current ones and not like the ones on the 350GT.  I don't think dust will be an issue on the 370GT. With the behaviour I describe above on the 360GT, does anyone have a suggestion of pad material that will act like the change I had done on the 350GT?
