  1. I'll see your wednesday and a few weeks and raise you to I have one now.
  2. 17 x 255 rears and 17 x 235 fronts cost me 1100 fitted and balanced here in the switch.
  3. Interesting indeed.
  4. Yes I have one in perfect condition.
  5. 350/400 if i keep off it a bit. Track days are a different animal altogether. about 150/200.
  6. I am guessing it was a series 2. I have rarely seen one that doesnt need some mods to the front bar. If you hadnt done too many series 2 lines i guess its an honest mistake but if you have done a few you should have been aware. That doesnt give the customer the right to go nuts tho. Theese issues are best sorted with discussion rather than allowing it to get out of hand. (thats my job)
  7. LAG! Who said Lag. Never heard of it.
  8. South Africa bud. Its to stop the coons car jacking.
  9. Didnt see you do to much lurkin Mike. All I saw was the arse of that white gtr dissapearing around the next bend.
  10. I've towed most of my working life and tried them all, Utes are ok but there is the afore mentioned security and lack of passenger room. Landcruisers are good too, Just not as bombproof as toyota would have you believe. The best tow vehicle I have used and still use is the Nissan patrol. I have owned the 3 litre variant, the 2.8 litre td jobbie, the 4.2 petrol and my current worker is the 4.8 petrol. They all performed a stellar job, even the smaller engined units worked well above their weight and both ran up many hundreds of thousands of kays before i moved them on. The 4.8 laughs at any load I care to pull with it. It likes a drink but that has been minimised with some custom pipework. an ecu and a dyno. Its big, comfy. power to burn and refuses to fail. (it will also tow a loaded car trailer faster than that too Russ ) The other advantage to using 4b's is the weight over the front axle. rwd utes etc are ok but still subject to rock steer even on a well set up balanced trailer package. You start hitting some undulating road and the weight transfer to and from the front of the tow vehicle is far more pronounced in the rwd. The heavier fronted 4wd virtually eliminate this phenomina. The only other option that I can see is the even bigger ford/chev pickup truck style vehicles but cost becomes a real limiting factor there.
  11. Thats a saloon you idjut
  12. Dont know if its doable or worth it but my mate runs a series 2 wheel on his series 1 no probs. the air bag mechanism simply isnt connected.
  13. Just drop your left side off the bitumen on to the gravel. A nice little stone shower sees them back off smartly.
  14. Nice work there bud. Good to see one of these import crimes have a positive outcome for a change.
  15. Emo Dundee...Now theres a look.
  16. Kill 2 birds with the one stone that way. Invite emo's round for a swim.
  17. Did it taste like chicken?
  18. Cats...Taste like chicken...MMMMMMMMMMMM
  19. Just get a crocodile and call it a short legged long tail swamp dog. No permit required.
  20. Illegal without a permit Josh. Speak to parks and wildlife for more details. Highly unlikely they will let you keep one tho.
  21. You want cash on top for those hideous farkin things.!!!! Are you drunk. p.s. Farkorf.
  22. Had a similar prob and it turned out to be a sticking bov. Have a look at it.
  23. I hear Colin Buckley is going to be there signing autographs.
  24. Kent! I looked everywhere for you.
  25. Dunno, but if it were my g/f wife i wouldnt drive it.
