12.9 a 32 R does doesn't it?

Depending on how hard you launch it.

Or with Boost Restrictor removed.

From memory Mr. Windsurf (Andrew) ran a 12.7 sec, no Boost Restrictor.

Times I have seen for the R32 GTR are between 13.7 to 12.8...

But I only take 'published' figures... Meaning magazine articles... Websites are just estimates...

you reckon the BA was no good?

it was a good step forward for ford

new build, new engine from scratch, drive by wire, performance range

before the BA they were really lacking any decent performance models

no i said i liked the BA more than current shape.

maybe from stand still to ~70ks, but after that i doubt the SS would be crying...

i meant @flywheel

HSV coupe/monaro. thank me in a few years when they're worth a pretty penny.

cheaply made yes, compared to an Audi. compared to a Nissan/Toyota? lol dont think so...

there's more to an ///M3 than just power/straight line speed

this.

yes.

coupe/monaro dont like all have high ks or spastic price, you the interior is the equivelant of a vt commo no thanks.

audi's are nothing special my mates TT current model interior is pitiful to my lexus, and dont even start with merc or bmw interior eats both alive.

lol i was wondering where mohsen was with his 2c on ford vs holden, then remembered that I banned him.

only thing he can give opinions on is the bus vs train

yours is Lexus not Toyota...

actually lexus gets shittier specs than toyota. only benefit of buying a lexus is standard leather. No 1JZ, no air suspension, no wagon option etc etc.

senator kinda looks like ass if you ask me. I'd buy a calais and bring in pontiac G8 kit from the US and slam it on 22's.

bogans will all be mad jelly.

you can buy the pontiac front as a factory option when you buy a new holden (I have been told)

I reckon it looks ugly and goes in the same category of chevy badges.

  • Like 1

I was sitting at my desk when I remembered a phone call I'd forgotten to make. I found the number and dialled it. A man answered, saying "Hello" I politely said, "This is Fred. Could I please speak with Robert Campbell?" Suddenly a manic voice yelled out in my ear "Get the right f*kin' number!" and the phone was slammed down on me. I couldn't believe that anyone could be so rude. When I tracked down Robert's correct number to call him, I found that I had accidentally transposed the last two digits.

After hanging up with Robert, I decided to call the 'wrong' number again.

When the same guy answered the phone, I yelled "You're a flamin mongrel!" and hung up. I wrote his number down with the word 'flamin mongrel' next to it, and put it in my desk drawer. Every couple of weeks, when I was paying bills or had a really bad day, I'd call him up and yell, "You're a flamin mongrel!". It always cheered me up.

When Caller ID was introduced, I thought my therapeutic "flamin mongrel" calling would have to stop. So, I called his number and said "Hi, this is John Smith from the phone company. I'm calling to see if you're familiar with our Caller ID Program?" He yelled "NO!" and slammed down the phone. I quickly called him back and said, that's because you're a flamin mongrel!"

Then one day I was at Lakeside Shopping Centre, getting ready to pull into a parking spot. Some guy in a gunmetal grey Land Rover cut me off and pulled into the spot I had patiently waited for. I hit the horn and yelled that I'd been waiting for that spot, but the idiot ignored me. I noticed a "For Sale" sign in his back window, so I wrote down his number.

A couple of days later, right after calling the first flamin mongrel (I had his number on speed dial by this stage,) I thought that I'd better call the Land Rover flamin mongrel, too. I said, "Is this the man with the gunmetal grey Land Rover for sale?" "Yes, it is", he said. "Can you tell me where I can see it?" I asked. "Yes, I live at 221 William Street. It's a terraced house, and the car's parked right out in front."

"What's your name?" I asked. "My name is Steve Hansen," he said. "When's a good time to catch you, Steve?" "I'm home most days as I'm currently unemployed." "Listen, Steve, can I tell you something?" "Yes?" "Steve, you're a flamin mongrel!" Then I hung up, and added his number to my speed dial, too. Now, when I had a problem, I had two dream boats to call. Then one day I came up with an idea.

I called flamin mongrel #1. "Hello?" "You're a flamin mongrel!" (But I didn't hang up.) "Are you still there?" he asked. "Yeah," I said. "Stop calling me," he screamed. "Make me," I said. "Who are you?" he asked. "My name is Steve Hansen." "Yeah? Where do you live?" "I live at 221 William Street, a terraced house. There's a gunmetal grey Land Rover parked out the front." He said, "I'm coming over right now, Steve. And you had better start saying your prayers." I said, "Yeah, like I'm really scared, flamin mongrel," and hung up.

Then I called flamin mongrel #2. "Hello?" he said. "Hello, flamin mongrel," I said. He yelled, "If I ever find out who you are..." "You'll do what?" I said. "I'll kick your arse," he exclaimed. I answered, "Well, flamin mongrel, here's your chance. I'm coming over right now."

Then I hung up and immediately called the police, saying that I lived at 221 William Street, and that I was on my way over there to kill my gay lover. Then I called Channel 7 News about the hood war going down on William Street.

I quickly got into my car and headed over to William Street. I got there just in time to watch two dream boats beating the crap out of each other in front of six police cars, an overhead police helicopter and a news crew. Now I feel MUCH better. Take it from me, anger management really works...

thats not a great comparison when your talking the top of the tree for the manufacturer and the 8 is a over priced heap of shit, thats well known.

thats not top of the range, top of the range is the RS6 with a lambo v10 under the bonnet. nuff said

its fair enough if people dislike something, but to say its shit, overpriced etc is just being narrow minded and queer

ever read a review on an audi? always say teh same shit, hence why you see fk all of them around. audis biggest killer is everything is an option. hows this for a "top of the range/flagship car" and options list.

Sports differential: $3000

Sports air suspension: $2200

20-inch alloys with 265/40 tyres: $3000

Adaptive cruise control with stop/go function plus lane and side assist: $9000

Dynamic steering: $3500

Full LED lighting package: $2700

Night vision with pedestrian detection: $5400

Double glazing with rear privacy glass: $5500

Sunroof with solar panel: $1100

Electric sun blinds for the rear: $2700

Sports front seats: $1100

Front seats with ventilation and massage function (I used this; you want it. Trust me on this.) $5500

Electric rear seats (makes the car a four-seater but, hey, the remaining two kids will be v-e-r-y comfy): $9400

19-speaker, 1400W Bang and Olufsen audio system: $14,400

Rear seat entertainment system: $9800

neally all of that is standard on rival cars, for $220k give or take i aint adding options.

lol yeh they add cheap leather and charge you twice as much thas exactly all they add. :rolleyes: so many know it alls

lexus is pretty win. They've taken Toyota's quality manufacturing process and pushed it to another level. There's a reason they're the biggest car company in the world.

Always been thinking about moving to Toyota but got it comfy here at Cadbury haha

    • I'd need to check my notes at work Duncan, but I'm pretty sure most of that is purely OBD2 on the display. How quickly is it all able to update? Do you have any internet capability in your workshop with a laptop?
    • Yeah just gonna be near stock runner only want 180kw to 210kw can’t find anything been looking ages looked in to rb25 but money is tight as the moment need the car back on the road 
    • From there it is trickier. Ecutek seems to be one of those closed ecosystems where everyone password protects their tunes which means I either choose a tuner and can't change from them and can't make any changes myself for any reason, or I have to buy the tuning software (about $4k) and then get someone to tune from scratch (which is not simple with all the multi dimensional tables these days). Once you buy about 300 "flash points" per ECU you can get it tuned and add their "RaceROM" function which hacks extra functionality like launch control onto the ECU, and also makes extra data available for logging over CAN Not sure what I'll do there yet; I'm tempted to use one of the overseas shops that does billions of remote tunes of the platform instead of starting from scratch locally, a lot can be done online these days.
    • Can I log IAT eh? Well, can now So next thing was looking at data logging. Not straight forward because none of the motorsport displays have cracked the nissan/inifinti CAN and ECU based displays don't do g logging, lap timing, predictive laps etc.  So, I bought an Ecutek dongle from Tunehouse (Oz distributor). Even without a tune onboard that allows display and logging of about 50 parameters via Android (and presumably iOS) app. Approx 600 for the bluetooth + Usb version That gives me (pretty ugly but) functional dash display on Android And logging of these parameters I'll play around a bit over the break, but at least now I can make sure I have oil pressure when I get to some track testing.
