Although production values have improved i'm still waiting for something interesting to happen or maybe even a decent review..

It's pretty Charlie cox atm.

commodores again next week....lmao

i still cant stand it.. australia just doesnt get enough good cars.. and we dont have good enough roads.. and honestly, what is with the test track?? surely someone will let them on a proper race track like oran park or something..

and another thing... did anybody actually see what the mercedes looked like?? all i saw were artsy camera angles and contrast changes... my eyes were hurting trying to focus and catch a glimpse of whether it was a 2 door or 4 door..

was good to see them rubbish the stupid bmw "thing" though.

that was about all i saw, heck, it makes idol almost worth watching.. atleast i know the judges on it and they have their own characters.

the whole idea of the test track is to make a track that pushes the cars to its limits. so a long straight to test the higher speeds, some corners with sudden changes in direction, to test the chassis and brakes, etc. not just a track that is nice and flowing where all cars might do well. that is why the UKTG track was designed by lotus.

you can joke about more commodores but i think the 427 is going to be a serious bit of gear. i don't like holdens but even i am will to admit that the new 427 is going to have some serious go.

lol the porsche thing is classic. They had one of their engineers go out and try to get a decent time. While nissan use an actual racing driver and they wonder why they can't get near the time?

I still can't wait for these 8 episodes to be over so I can go back to watching the Uk top gear. Clarkson, May and Hammond make top gear what it is.

for me it still sucks arse . its gotten to the point that it doesnt matter what they do on the show the hosts themselves taint it by being soo annoying . last month the cars were at least interesting . these guys claim to be able to drive but so far ive seen nothing to indicate that at all .

and blaming roundabouts on the english ? wtf ? australia needs more roundabouts to get rid of all the traffic lights . keeps traffic moving for gods sake . he admitted that aussies dont know how to use them but blamed the english for australia for having them ?

everything they say has no credibility at all , sooner the show dissappears forever the happier i will be

who happens to be an expert on the ring.

eitherway they should both do their laps at the same time (obviously with a gap between cars so there is no slipstreaming) so that each manufacturer can look at the other car.

or even have nissan buy a gt2 from a dealership and have porsche buy a gtr from a dealership so that each company can know for sure that the car is 100% stock and then have them take them to the track and just have nissans driver hop in the gtr and porsche's driver hop in the gt2 and away they go.

ive seen motokhana courses in a carpark that are in better nick than their test track. and the old drift corner at oran park would even be enough to keep a mercedes black on its toes.

if i had $150000 i definatly would not even consider a holden.. i will give them the fact that the cars are much much better in that sort of price range from holden than a normal SS.. but still.. there are much nicer cars out there.

    • yeah i agree paint match stops it from standing out so much, oh that's actually really good to know i was wondering if it would help with air flow now actually having an outlet in the bonnet. Will have to focus on ducting into and out of the radiator now to make the most of it.
    • I would paint match the whole thing to avoid unwanted attention  I had a similar bonnet, paint matched, on my old R33 GTST, but mine was a fibreglass jobbie made by Blitz in QLD, they work extremely well for radiator efficiency and under bonnet temps
    • Does anyone run this kit with factory plenum? Does the adapter and bosch tb fit under factory strut brace? I wanted to get this setup before going forward facing manifold. Thanks
    • small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.  
    • I think it's bound to happen, you finally get it all perfect, and bam, something will happen. I took a while to get a Commodore rear quarter repaired where a P Plater clipped it. Two days after getting it back, Sarah wiped it out on a concrete pillar in an underground car park... This is why I take forever to repair them, it stretches how long until it gets bent again... 😛
