I cannot believe that they can actually call it a show.

they get an idea and do the most half arsed segment on it.

There sense of humour fails.

I thought there was some big competition to get presenters - whos freakin idea was it to get those guys - they cant drive, there not funny and the stig wtf - the UK stig looks fit, calm and collected - the aus stig looks fat and looks like he struggles to control their cars.

I think Ignition DVD put on a better show than the Aus top gear.

Im a fairly optimistic person and I hoped that they would do a good job and make an enjoyable show but I just cant get into it.

As for drifting? If you call a wallowing oversteer "drifting" - then you are a master of it!

yeah i totally agree after two episodes ive had enough already!

the holden vs. ford was spose to be good challenge and what did they saw at the end their both good and equal what kind of shit is that ther too affraid to offend any potential viewers that ther sacrificing the point of the show(tell truth about the car/s) which makes it seem the show has lees substance. i swear all they did was snatch a few brits taught them the aussie accents overnight because they even look and dress like damn poms and are sooo the most f**kin boring people on tv. i hope 5th GEAR bring out an aussie version as competition hope it shits all over this pathetic rip off of what was a great show. put the brit version back on u cant beat their humour and sarcasm and that jerramy bloke is the best my 2 cents any way very dissapointing

Fell asleep half way through the Falcodore comparison. Who won? Am I right in reading it was a tie? Are they both the best cars on the face of the planet? Please can SBS just run repeats of the UK version. Or 1.5 hrs of Southpark? Or the satellite image? Seriously.

hahah satellite image FTW

i have to admit...the show had its moments, not many but some. you guys were right about the track time. you cant see f-all of the track, all the angles are down low...shithouse. was it me or was there alot of in cabin counter steering when they were doing the ford v holden? the gold mine was ok, but everytime they did a segment in the studio i cringe. their matterial just isnt working for me.

show was better than last week's I'll give it that much... which is not saying much. But by god, I've never seen so much bodyroll on a pair of "best value vehicles for the money" since I watched the Sydney to hobart boat race. WTF, apparenlty sane people are happy to drive tuning house tweaked cars that wobble like a 80 year old's knees?

And as per my previous complaint about last week's show... Absolutely no decent shots of the track, horrible coverage of the "celebrity in a bog stock car"... it was like two turns and he was over the finish line. For a second when they said "from Mad Max" I was hoping they actually managed to get Mel Gibson... but then they introduced some fat git who I'd never seen before. WTF.

Easily worse than last week....... I said I'd give it another chance, but it's official, I hate it. Pathetically thought out special feature at the mine, god-awful empty ford/holden comparo, and the Smart car hearse, well that took the farkin cake. Stig can't drive for shit, and I really mean that.

Top Gear Australia.... DROP DEAD!

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
