  1. don't make be change your user name to "Golf Buggy". lol.
  2. what size is the tank? if your 4 door 35 really is 80L and i'm pretty sure a 32 GTST is only around 50 or 60l max then it's not much of a comparison. saying I get XXX 'per tank' is a dumb way of measuring stuff. 1 tank is not a defined amount. it could be 30 litres, it could be 100 litres so it has no meaning. litres per hundred km is the ONLY way to judge fuel economy. and like I said a 32 GTST should be around 12-13 L/100.
  3. well I just knew I had to be good at something. my best of 48000kb/s must mean I'm hooked up with a 50Mb/s connection. pretty much like hooking the internet directly to my vein with a needle. nice.
  4. actually you'll probably find it a bit thirstier than the GTST, but much less thirstier than the GTR. 15L/100 is not that hot. not terrible, but not fantastic either. a decent 32 GTST will be around the 13L/100 mark.
  5. lol, john voit the dentist or john voit the actor? you should have seen the look on my girlfriends face when I asked kip to please "bite my pencil"... FTR it's a 2B and yes it comes with the car.
  6. lol, I remember when you hopped in the gallardo and started it up for the first time... teeehe. I only wish you could have seen james face. and yes, countach is on my list. I've said that many times. get me decked out in a white linen suit with a briefcase full of coke and let me loose in a nice black countach. nice.
  7. Nice one russ. fingers crossed for you tomorrow. surgery commences on my little 32 tomorrow. lots of changes. should be a whole heap quicker this coming few months. now if only I knew how to steer it!
  8. cool. i'll bet they were pretty impressed with the standard of your car.
  9. forget that. don't subject your wife to the 430, maybe get one for your girlfriend though. the wife can enjoy RB20 power on her way to the flamin mongrelry club.
  10. well it impresses me. probably impressed the 430 owner too as troy deafened him on the way through to a happier place. no one said they are not a supercar, troy just said he thinks they are a bit camp and that he wouldn't buy one, which is his right to think that if he wants to. is that so hard for you to understand?
  11. there are a few japanese companies that make them. cusco, ATS are two off the top of my head. if it were me I would go with a 1-way. otherwise the thing will understeer like mad if you are fond of trailing a little brake into corners. some people use a 1.5 way but I really think 1 way is the best choice.
  12. lol, I can confirm that when troy HAD AN F430 PARKED IN HIS GARAGE that even then he said he thought it was weak and couldn't even be coerced into taking it for a spin. sure nicely built, looks good, goes well, but just didn't float his boat. though if I could afford a few nice cars then it would make a nice 'daily supercar'. but it wouldn't be top of my list either. and troy is not homo-phobic after all he shared a flat with james for quite a while so he clearly is pretty tolerant of it all.
  13. most i've seen mount the bar for the chute mount to the tow hooks.
  14. I know! How cool is that. plus the bezel is aluminium where as the X series is plastic. saw them in the flesh today and it looks awesome.
  15. well I just ordered my new TV Sony XBR 46inch. 1080p http://www.sony.com.au/proaudio/catalog/pr...jsp?id=KDL46XBR I was going to be one of the original X series but when I heard they were being discontinued I held out for a few weeks and got this. not much difference, but a few. it's 100hz, higher contrast, has 'motion flow' chip and a few other nice things. best of all it comes in gun metal grey just like my GTR. can't wait till it gets here.
  16. the guy in the silvia must feel pretty lucky not to have been cleaned up.
  17. why stop at 3litre? are you half a fag or something roy? big block or not on the list I reckon.
  18. oh and from my summary. the best ever test done from my IP: Fastest Download: 48324 kb/s Fastest Upload: 36337 kb/s noice.
  19. you are going down slimbo. what's your best ever?
  20. nice looking stupid toyota. good choice in wheels too. should be pretty rapid with that size slick under the rear.
  21. lol, yeah he bought the late model soarer when he sold me this one. i think it was manual too. either way it was really nice. well you can't get much better than that folks, celebrity history. Plus I owned it too which is even more important really. I also still have a pencil with Kip Wightmans bite marks in it to assure the buyer of authenticity. and no i'm not joking. it's in the glovebox.
  22. holy cow. that's nasty. poor guy. i didn't even know it was possible to crash a street GTR in a drag race.... he must feel like the unluckiets mofo on earth.
  23. yeah big screen action reply would be a winner. considering each race only lasts 12 seconds or so and it takes a minute or two between runs some nice replays would be cool.
  24. pretty sure semi-forged is like semi-synthetic or semi-errect. it's better than nothing but it's not that great either. with wheels price is the indicator. sure RE30 are expensive but they are super light, strong, racing wheels. the SSRs you are looking at may be cheap but it's almost certain there are many areas where they are not as good as the RE30s.
