christ! no wonder that supra annihilated Jaffa on anza... i mean... a private drag strip...

omg Matt that is insane! Nice work! I bet your itching to start 'er up and go for a spin! I may have missed it, but did you say who's doing the re-build? Be hanging to see it on a near future cruise

Andrew, Jaf should be bringing out the commo. 90% sure. Will confirm in a day or two.

just thought you might be interested in seeing this. Was reading an article on Autospeed and a guy had done this with his Gti-R. Nice little hiding spot - the mirror even hangs down over it I thought that was pretty cool

Fully agree with you Steve... its definately not right that it is so inconsistent. It certainly appears that they just create new guildelines willy nilly as they see fit yet won't actually share with people what they are! Its one thing to have these rediculous restrictions in place, but its completely unacceptable that you aren't able to obtain a copy! And if you ring them up to find out something and can't/won't tell you, as far as i'm concerned they aren't doing their job. The ONLY thing i can pick you on is the fact that if you get issued some sort of certificate stating your mods are legal and all pass regulations, what's to stop you re-modifying your car after to suit you and then flashing the certificate to cops etc? There definately needs to be some standards put in place that are obtainable by the general public - jesus, we're the ones paying them! That's a good point about the taxis and their instruments on the dash. How the hell can that be allowed yet gauges tucked away on the on the a pillar not be? I think its excellent that you have the dedication to do something about it. I think any of us here would be happy to support you and offer assistance should it be required. Sigh Joolz

Sweet thats great news Matt. Such a nice car can't be handed over to a new owner after all that work Bring on summer!

lower insurance cost on a wrx... u sure? well, considering you can import these anywhere from $14k now, i guess seeing yours is already here maybe $18-20k? But I dunno... just a guess

Common theme these insurance threads... but very good to hear eveyone's experiences. Personally I haven't had insurance through any of these companies yet as im still waiting to get a car (shuddup rob) but I have had good quotes from Just Cars. I haven't tried any of the others but will do when seriously looking for insurance. I am 24 on rating 1 so its helps my cause, but you 18 year olds on rating 6 driving turbo cars should stop complaining - if i was an insurance company, i wouldn't insure you either... bugger all experience AND in a powerful car means bad news. If you want these cars at that age then you just have to pay the price... or not pay it at all at your risk. I really don't know what effects the cost the most but someone from just cars said that bodykits and lowering are the biggest factors (apart from age). The type of the car hasn't really had THAT much difference for me. Hippy is correct, its not necessarily the premium that kills you, its the excess if you make a claim. Quite rude really. On their online quotes you often see "Additional Excess" of, for example on a GTR, $1000. No reason for it, just an additional excess. What's up with that?! Not to mention the normal excess, age excess, theft excess plus if you have nice wheels and they are involved in the claim there is another excess for them..... its rediculous. BUT... is your car worth not insuring. I know its alot to pay for insurance but would you rather pay 4-7k over a couple of years or have to fork out another 20-25k if you total it or it gets stolen? Bit of a hard decision, but personally I'll take insurance any day. Of course I'm only willing to pay a certain amount so if its gonna cost too much to insure, i'll probably look for something else. my 2c.

im all for cruises such as the one you mentioned... however your route would have to be some of the heaviest policed roads/areas in adelaide....

Looking at selling my Ericsson R600. Its a nice small compact little phone and only a few months old. No sim lock so can be used with any pre paid sim you like. Am looking at going back to a plan as I'm starting to use my mobile more frequently so will prolly get a nice spiffy new one http://www.sonyericsson.com/R600/2_facts_a...d_features.html $150 contact: grafikdezine at hotmail.com

out of my price range, but damn that looks schmick! Good luck with the sale

lol, busted

holy crap! :eek:

westssssiiiiide :werd:

one word AWESOME!! I reckon it would have bean the zonda if the driver didn't slide it so much

Jaffa and I might be able to make it. Haven't been on a good cruise for a while Hate to tell you guys, but I think there is a LS1 category at the wednesday night drags FYI: http://www.ls1.com.au/forum/showthread.php...&threadid=16144

man that sucks! sorry to hear it. i dont understand how people who operate like that can still be in business!? Definately complain to Consumer Affairs.

lmao that's class

hmm well he blew jaffa away on friday night. We got him off the line but we didn't get a very good take off at all (wheel spin and diff bounce) and once his turbo spooled up all we saw were tail lights pretty impressive but as you say... thought it would be quicker with that sort of power. Sounds damn cool with it screaming at you through the window

hehe its cool dude, i'll take your word for it. personally i prefer the 180sx... so controllable and balanced. love it

Does the driver/owner of the Yellow RPM Supra use this forum?

too much power in those things dude... i would be interested to see you drifting because personally i can't see you drifting too well in one of those panoz cars. Wheelspin sure.... but drift?
