Dunno anything about a car wash

About 5 Skylines there but very much outnumbered by the 70s muscle

7 new mustangs; no one gives a shit

R33 starting to get looks when leaving = classic mode nearly activated

Camaros

[Leroy Peterson]

when I was in Gosford after WTAC there was a new mustang meet going on at the car museum. some of the mustangs already had supercharger kits on them. not bad for a bunch of middle-aged dudes. i like the gun metal colour i think.

[Birds]

Maybe I'm stuck in a time era but the new Mustangs don't do it for me, or really any new cars for that matter

Might appreciate them more in a few years

There was a black new mustang there with a harrop supercharger on it and these bronzey wheels.. looked the goods 

[dezz]

Thinking about taking my ute to harrop /walkinshaw etc....

[UNR33L]

That would make it good fun. If you got the $ do it 

[Leroy Peterson]

Do walkinshaw even work on anything that isn't a HSV? Or do they only give out badges to HSVs?

Someone at work has a 2015 mini Cooper s. New engine under warranty at 13,000kms. Most of the motors out of the factory had incorrect crank bearing clearances. Lots of lunches motors. Each Cooper model has had a different engine, the latest 2 have had the most issues. Bit of a joke really

If my car gets stolen during a test drive for a potential buyer am i covered with full comp insurance?

And how would I prevent someone stealing it, say they ask to take it for a test drive, maybe they leave me there keys but wat if that cars stolen too

[Leroy Peterson]

Why can't you jump in the car with them?

[emts]

Always get a copy of their license prior to a test drive..

other than that call your insurance to confirm.

From the passenger seat you tell them alright let's turn back now, at which point the driver takes you back to your house, where you left a photocopy of their driver's licence, that you asked them for before handing over the keys.

If they look Sudanese then maybe get the money first

[UNR33L]

I think it's fairly easy to judge character.. I let a guy ride my bike & was fine, facebook stalked him before hand and everything checked out (stories of old bikes, the family car in pictures etc.) he left his license and car keys as well.

Gotta be careful with that shit though, cars are easy just go with them and bring a gun 

[Jonnoo]

I'm not exactly the toughest guy! Lmao [emoji23]
So i was more thinking if they took it for a drive, me in the passenger seat and around the corner there mates are there in another car waiting haha...

Its pretty easy to get a fake id these days too

If they're willing to do that they'll take the car without worrying about bothering you for a test drive

[Jonnoo]

Except its locked inside a bollarded factory so they couldn't get it out anyway lol

[Count Grantleyish]

If there's a will, there'll be a way.

Walkinshaw do kits for the ss etc just like harrop and all the others... Not sure on prices for my engine but the '325kw' kit which is the first stage of their kits, was about 5k on the 6L...exhaust CAI and tune... Or drop 20k on the full kit, supercharger etc and be putting out a lazy 460+rwkw (hub dyno)

[dezz]

Given my engine is 320kw stock, the 325 kit becomes the 375 kit I believe... Seem to be big losses though, 375kw resulting in like 280rwkw on their hub dyno... Maybe I've been out of the game too long but I don't remember skylines etc having that much drive train loss..
