Cant go wrong with a Uniden hand held. They got the lil mini ones at Dick Smith for about 50 bucks last time i checked. The only shit thing with those ones is that you dont have the option of plugging in an external mic. The next size/model up from these are pretty good, but i think they're nearly double the price.

IF your looking for them

Aim for ones with 1watt--> 2watt

Otherwise you'll find as soon as you get into twisty areas, you wont be able to even pickup a car 300-400 meters infront of you.

If memory serves me correcy my CB is 1.5 watt

And as Age said, rechargeable batteries are a must. I made the mistake years ago of not doing it.

And after a few cruises you need batteries as they dont seem to last all that long

haha....

2 watts "quad power".

sounds scary.

It would be handy if they had the insight to make the antennas on the handhelds removable so that a decent antenna could be hooked up without having to mangle the radio to do it.

    • Jax Tyres this Monday morning. Front lifted 15mm Back lifted 12mm Quote1, $175 per tyre + wheel alignment. Quote2, $660 inc wheel alignment. paid $298 for the lot.  
    • Finally have an update on this  Rack came in this week so I did a test fit. You do need the S chassis bushings since the rack is 5mm thinner than the R33 rack. The main issue I foresaw and ran into was one of the hardlines not lining up properly with there it's meant to on the rack. After some gentle coercing and bending very slightly, I managed to get it to fit without any kinks and keeping the hardline pretty much in all of the factory mounting positions. I did have to unbolt all of the soft mounts to move the line around so I could snake it out and bend it safely but it looks good to me for now. I'll update when the rack is fully bolted in and functioning.  
    • I hear this thread needs an update following its adventures last Wednesday!
    • What are you thinking makes a sequential shit to drive on the street? About the ONLY thing I can think of, is if you're wanting to be able to roll up to lights in third or second and pop it straight into neutral, or you want to come down two or three gears, say out of 5th and back to second, but they shift quick enough it doesn't really matter
    • I'm not a drag racing guy, but that was a good watch. Didn't Ibrahim's car have some cooch! But the big question is....WTF is with so many of them running without seatbelts!
