just came back from the show, it was great loved every minitue of it. Plenty of burnouts and drifting and syncronised driving and the car socccer game was awsome to see live. well worth the money and very funny.

should be kicking urself if you didnt go lol

what did the rest of u guy think of the show?

To be honest I was expecting more.. I think having read a review of Friday night's show I realised pretty quickly that they just do the same show every night and use the same jokes, there's not much ad-libbing. Some of the earlier synchronised driving shows with the cheap cars was impressive but when they brought out the expensive ones (ferraris) you could tell they had been told to keep a couple of metres apart to be sure they didn't crash :)

It was a good show I think I'm just difficult to please :D

I was at thursday nights show, I enjoyed it and was entertained the whole time, the only thing I was hoping for was a short film like in the regular tv shows or maybe even an interview with someone.

What did other people think of having Steve Pizza-Oven there instead of May? I thought it highlghted how far behind our Aussie TG hosts are against the UK guys :D

I thought it was boring, but maybe my standards are too high.

The "drifting" wasn't even drifting. It was just random skids. It was the kind of thing you see VL drivers do on Today Tonight's stock footage of hoons.

I have to agree with your comments and alu-siv_stagea's comments. It was well designed but lacking something. The addition of the australian host was useless, they should just have had the Stig play the third person. During the start one of the audience called out "fast forward the adds" which got great applause.

When he was doing the cool wall he "randomly" picked a person who ownded a porsche to talk about the porsche, he aso picked out some dumb ass "possible hearing impediment" that could not speak about anything but his dream of a commodore R8. Anyone have something similar?

Did we all get first place in the driving game???

No GTR or Nissan advertising at all.

paying for the f**king parking after coming out of the show was f**king gay!

4 ticket machines?

for a f**king stadium that holds what 50 billion people

I WAS LINING UP FOR 35 MINUTES TO PAY FOR THE PRIVILEGE OF PARKING THERE

COCK HEADS!

show was good though

You shouldve prepaid your ticket like many ppl did.

The soccer and bike stunt inside that ball was my highlight.

Driving sim and that stupid ninja act was terrible.

The Oz host, whatever his name is, was as useless as my grandmas tits. Even Clarkson mentioned to him on several occasions, "SPEAK UP!".

there was huge lines then as well

Enjoyed the car soccer game; oh yes the Alfa precision driving - but hey, for $120 there should have been a lot more.

Clarkson had to carry the show imho.

Still prefer Roy & HG for Aussie hosts imho.

Thought it was awesome!!

Much better than I expected for such a small space ..I now have a T shirt saying " I AM THE STIG" its a lot to live up to but its possible :(

Our session got the 2nd highest score in the Video game lap too...I was at the 11am Saturday show.. :( I was screaming my little head off :D

Not a bad idea Terry, they've got the charisma to lift the shows standard alot closer to the UK variant. Not sure if they have the driving skill though.

Lol hopefully the producers of Aussie TG saw Clarkson having to do that, and will realise they need to do something about our hosts...

    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it. 
    • Not yet quite as bad as what we've seen a Jim Berry clutch do in an R32 GTR though when it decided to cut a chassis rail in half... Still very very gnarly and a great reason to avoid.
