I cant handle the Serious Performance vids, the quality of cars and the footage of them doesnt really float my boat....still ill buy anything and they are all much better then the Max Power videos...the Hi Octanes are good for a laugh (only once) and i like the track and runway footage from the first few

Overboost is by far the best one they have done yet, even though it still does have some of the usual cheesy crap in it. But it does have them in cars from top Japanese tuners such as: Stillway, HKS, Veilside and Signal.

So how much % of gay footage is there to car footage in this one?

There is only about maybe 10 minutes all up of his story that goes through the movie.

Yeah, this one is maybe 10% crap - which is still more than I'd like, but its better than the previous one with the trip to the US which was pretty much 99.9% crap.

High Octane 4 is the 2nd worst car video I have seen (Max Power - Beasts From the East being the worst) and High Octane Overboost is the best...

2 guys from NZ like it but no one from Aus has said anything yet.

HEHE national pride?

That might be because its either not out in Oz yet, or just because no one has seen it there yet :headspin: Considering I think the first 4 standard out OK, then got progressively shite - HO4 being the best quality utter shit I have ever seen - I think I am pretty neutral.

High Octane Overboost is definately worth a watch. Don't ever watch HO4.

The serious performance collection are much better IMO

Yeah, cos I love nothing more than watching a moron in his airbrushed and wheelie bar equipped, nos bottle weilding swift/cino/barina putting around Oran park with no seat belt! :D:)

lol considering the most boring parts of the last DVD/'s were when they went to the aussie/ US car shows.

if i see another Cyber honda or one of those gay lancer coupes you guys have infactuations with (well not you guys as you own skylines, but other guys) i think ill scream-

HO5 was great, better than the last BS one.

Alot of the other stuff in them is more relavant to us though, as its local.Hence why you probably find it boring. Pretty much works both ways as we have very different car scenes in our countrys.

I'm australian and I like High Octane

I think its just a different view of performance cars. I like the comical aspect of it.

I actually think that ketzal, while being stupid in some parts is quite funny. overal I like the dvd's (4 was a bit crap) and I own all 5

the whole thing is they aren't really a serious hardcore look at performance cars, if you want that buy HPI or something similar.

you can't say teh MR2 and GTS4 aren't hot though

Ok finially got around to watching overboost and its preety farking good.

Easily the best high octane they have released. Just the japan trip is worth paying for it.

I also got Best Motoring 11 and that rocks to with the testing of the new Galardo against the F360, 911 GT2 etc.

    • Yeap, not as doorty as ITB's, but alot more doorty than before, induction sound great when I'm up it 馃
    • Any difference in induction noise?
    • If I got a dollar for every flipped commuter missile I've driven past I'd have two dollars   Some people get into wild adventures on the road and I doubt it's gender or ethnicity specific. I'm just glad I don't usually drive during peak times.
    • Just got the car back and gave it a good run back home Power wise, whilst it only made a extra 5 killerwasps up top at 7200 rpm, it made more power everywhere from 2500 rpm and kept pulling much harder all the way, to the point of me relearning when to shift so I don't hit the 7200 limiter, with the old intake it seemed to take alot more time to rev out, and, throttle response is also much improved  As I didn't want to remove the bumper every time I serviced the air filter (basically every aftermarket and fabricated CAI has the filter behind the bumper) it currently has a hektic exposed pod in the engine bay sucking in hot air, this will be rectified shortly after some some of my CAD (cardboard assisted design) for a alloy heat shield feed by the OEM intake tube behind the bumper, this will cop some wrinkle black paint, as well as the intake pipe for that totally OEM look... The only fly in the ointment was that the OEM "strut" brace doesn't fit over the rear runner of the new intake with the 2.5 engine is in the engine bay, as the 2.5 raises the engine up by 20mm, it's not a war stopper, and I didn't notice any difference without it in some twisties, but....... MX5 Mania is bringing in some GWR "fancy pants" braces that apparently do fit, if it bolts up I'll grab it, it is also stiffer than the OEM one, which is a bonus All in all I'm happy with the outcome      Fancy pants "strut" brace that gives the required clearance      This is where the clearance issue was, the GWR extends out past this
