The 'loser' refers to the Rugby game. They love the car.

Some of the reviews they've given the Monaro on that show match ferrari's, lambos or whatever. They absolutely love it.

I think one of the reviews they said it was the most fun to drive car they've ever been in.

But let the holden bashing carry on :D

Its one thing test driving a brand new car, its another living with it and watching it age, break down and rear its ugly head.

Monaro is a good bang for your buck but matching it against a Ferrari? :D

So are you saying Italian built cars, particularly Ferrari are paragons of reliability & build quality? :( They are actually one of the few makes worse than Holden. :D

Everything is relative. I meant in their enthusiasm for the car.

If the Monaro cost $400,000 I doubt it would be met with such enthusiasm :D

Bang for buck wise, they love it.

No, the Ferrari for what its worth is not reliable at all, they are getting much better these days but in the past the engines had to be rebuilt often.

If you want to put it that way, a Ferrari is merely a status car... definately not worth the price and hassles as a track car unles your Bill Gates.

Historically Ferraris sounded pretty & looked pretty. But they were badly built & handled badly. Their handling is much improved nowadays which is in marked contrast to their looks.

    • I don't care for these at all, but at least the underside looks straight and not rusty. A good basis for a long life. Many cars from Japan have been lifted with forklifts and f**ked almost irrepairably.
    • Yes, but it's not dumb or dodgy. You can build a perfectly good boost controller from a pressure reg, a relief valve (looks same same as a reg if all from Norgren or SMC, for example) and a check valve. I ran one for years. Only superceded with  EBC because I could get one for cheaps and wanted finer control.   THis mod is certainly not a sketchy boost mod, provided the boost is kept below the "spin to death" threshold of the turbos.
    • With ordering the belt, you're doing water pump and the idler and tensioner at the same time too yes?
    • This is just a dumb way of keeping the wastegate closed to make more boost. Undo it and either follow the factory setup or redo it properly. Manual boost controllers just use a spring preload to determine when to close in response to boost pressure so it no longer vents to atmosphere.
    • So for the wide band is a Bosch 4.9 correct for the Link G4+ along with a Can bus? Just get the Link gear or is generic ok too? Eg here: LINK LINK DIGITAL WIDEBAND CAN MODULE WITH BOSCH 4.9 SENSOR : KYP Performance House
