  1. In true Fenech style "i luvs ya all" ... but i bet there are only two people on this forum that can answer this question "of extraordinary magnitude"
  2. Well you only have to look at the milk crate in my car, it has to be fifty years old. Really its testament to the engineering they put into mill crates
  3. Fatz would do a 1:12 with one hand on the steering wheel and a schooner in the other
  4. Ditto, i have titanium in my back...so more then happy to run aroudn with the seat in my car. May be illegal but is out of this world comfortable and if bad luck strikes then the seat does a lot for my backs well being
  5. How would you wake your master?
  6. Reall both options are overkill. The mil crate in my car works a treat

    Whats The Deal?

    ...not to mention HIV, alcohol curfews and terrorism.
  8. Sounds like you know what you need to do, so ....
  9. Cool, it means that i can drink into the late hours of the night and as the GP will still be running i am sure to have a few companions on the journey into alcohol inducted stooper
  10. I have a Momo seat that has head supports similar to the Sebring, but nowhere near as obtrusive. Yes they do make it a little difficult on the street. Not for the obvious reason though. Becaue the supports are so deep, should you chose to use the std seat belt then it touches the seat about 3 inches before it even gets close to coming in contact with your body. SO, you end up needing to use the harness every time you drive, and the combination of harness, and obscured visibility means its a right painin the ass. Now perhaps stating the obvious. You know Cobra make a range of inserts for their seats, either that or just go to a trimmer and gets some inner cushions made up. Seat being a little too large is an easy fix, provided you are happy with the seat
  11. Its about 4 schooners east of the CBD (ie CLOSE!)

    Also, where are you advertising it? Car forums have to be the worse place, everyone is hunting bargains.
  13. Do not under estimate any Lotus. HKS took the super cheater spec EVO that holds the Tsukuba Super Lap record to Sepang and there was a car that was developed by Proton or something that wiped the floor with it. It was up for sale a few months ago and sold for about 230,000 pounds. Just looked to see if there are any vids and i think this is the car The Lotus Sports Exige 300RR was built for Lotus' parent company, Proton Cars. Based on the award winning aluminum bonded chassis of the production Elise, the Exige 300RR was Intended to be Lotus' reentry into International level motorsports. The one of a kind Exige 300RR is powered by a 400BHP Swindon built GM V6 derived from a DTM unit. Performance Data Weight: 1580 lbs Engine Builder: Swindon Manufacturer: GM Type: GM V6 DTM Spec Displacement: 3000cc Horsepower: 400BHP Torque: 340NM Induction: N/A Manfacturer: Hewland Sequential Body Construction: Dry Carbon Fibre Color: Red/White Shocks: Ohlins Brakes: AP Racing

    Good luck with the sale, hope you get your asking price Sadly the fact it is so easy to get cheap neat cars out of Japan, with the new import laws it has probably swung full circle and is now desirable for locally sold cars to have some fruit on them. If you want std and neat you can get them out of Japan for a song. (May or mat not be as neat as yours)
  16. I moved to Vic in late Jan 2004 and that was my first cruise driving, rather then riding shotgun and drinking. Was good fun, the only time i drive such nice roads is every 2nd year when servicing for the Alpine Rally
  17. Hmm. probably need to just wait and confirm length of tailshaft whenever the 20 box blows
  18. I would agree with that.
  19. Mate if my car looked as good as yours i would be a very happy camper. As for wheels, mostly 17" wheels, i have two sets of WEDS, a set of Desmond Regamasters, Work XD9s and a set of Enkei 18" RPF1 which i hope will squeeze under the rolled and lipped guards....so too many wheels Once i get the body done, wheels that clear the brakes and look good on the car then i am going to have to have a fire sale as i have way too much money tied up in wheels. Coming home drunk and bidding on yahoo auctions is bad
  20. If you are buying aftermarket turbos try not to buy a turbo spec'd for an RB25. A turbo that bolts to an RB25 will all but bolt up to an RB20, doesnt mean it will work that well though as wheels and trims, and housings shoudl be different
  21. Grab some used R33 Brembos, nice quality rotors and some punchy pads. Fingers crossed you can sell your current gear to a Silvia owner, but you will still be looking at around 3k total So would suggest you grab some NISMO brake ducts or similar which bolt to the castor rods, some good fluid, pads and tyres. If you are stressing that sort of brake setup then you probably shoudl be slowing down because of brake fade Try some Castrol SRF brake fluid, i am loving the Endless CCX pads i run and just do a walk around the cars current brakes. Check caliper pistons move freely and rotor condition. Binding pistons cause pad drag on the rotor which all throws heat into the brakes If you find your calipers are in need of a strip and rebuild, the rotors are shagged, then its time you look at the dollars you have to spend because you may be able to justify a slightly bigger spend for a nice 4 pot upgrade using an AP, Alcon or Brembo caliper with a 332mm rotor. So what is the budget? I love spending peoples money on brakes
  22. Dick? Innocent enough question. I have no idea what you drive. You talk of aawd Fonzie?!?! I cant see how that is possible without some serious sniffing salts I ask because i am curios, people are happy to make assumptions about people because they want a HSV, so curious to know what car you drive.
  23. LOL, isnt that what i said. It was what i was trying to say Shouldbt be on the forum when had plenty of work on a busy Friday
