serves people right for living near the track... i agree with that point.

dont move there and complain after. These 'minority' groups should be slapped around the head and told to be quiet or MOVE.

i live not far from calder and i used to LOVE hearing the top fuellers (when they were there years ago) fly up the strip.

I could hear it and i was about 15 mins away, but i have no problem.

add to that:

Do u want to be responsible for causing an accident at high speed and killing an innocent road user.

:(

Vl can set some good record, yes i've seen it, my friends own Vls too but when we talk about 10sec passes all day or 11 or 12 it would be Gtr.

I don't dis Vl cos' i own skyline but really that's how i see it. Another thing is on track, i don't see no VLs, i've seen r31 and that but no VL even though the RB30 can be powerfull. Maybe it's the Holden shell that doesn't created much balance!

yup i total agree with that statment about vls not able to run 11 12 sewc pass all day

hahaha

Do u want to be responsible for causing an accident at high speed and killing an innocent road user.

While that could be true, most of the time you are going to take out are going to be other spectators.. if people are hanging around the drags there is always that risk.. but its a risk that ppl knowingly take. The perception that illegal drag racing poses a "danger to others" is a bit of a fallacy i think, the only danger illegal drag racers is being a "danger to themselves". I don't see a problem with that, just like if I choose to stand in the middle of the road, i expect to get run over :D

thats wrong they should have a pic of a vl or s'thin coz theres so many commonwhores around, they cant just single out imports, what bout the v8 petrol drinkers too.  

I do agree that street racing is wrong, i think people should be more responsible.

dude why be so narrow minded?you wanna catergorise all commo drivers then expect to be catergorised yourself.

what your complaining about others doin,your doin yourself!

    • Don't use that manifold. Please don't use that manifold. Sunk cost fallacy is not worth the later pain. None of these will be relevant to the change that will come from the different turbo and manifold. As in, the effect of the exhaust will be nil, regardless of what else is changed. And all the cam and fuel system stuff is not changing either way, so has no effect. The turbo and manifold (and to a small extent the wastegate)....big change.
    • Just wanted to say thank you for your input   my man (lead mechanic by trade) and I have done a heap of work as you can imagine just to make the hot side work with the dump pipe, stupid massive intake on turbo, trying to get the waste gate on was not fun.  I’m kinda getting to the point where I don’t know if I try and make this work and not throw all this cash and time away or do I scrap the lot and start again? the Apexi I’ve got was tuned for a few slight differences:   Tomei pon cams (mine are stock neo) Turbo smart 38mm external waste gate (mines 45mm replumbed) with stainless screamer pipe  3inch turbo back exhaust with high flow cat Sard 800cc top feed injectors Sard adjustable fuel pressure reg    
    • Out here E90s are the cheapest way into a sporty-ish car because everyone knows just how expensive the repairs can get. 8-10k USD for an automatic 335i. 
    • Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.
    • Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.
