Yep... :shake:

Havent been down Bobbin Hd Rd before.... Whats it like ? :burnout:

LePpErFiSh...........

*IF* I come tonight (got battery issues but its charging well so should be fine) can we just "drive" tonight instead of "thrashing the living guts out of 15 lines to see who is quickest in a follow the leader race".

As usual i'll be towards the back just to enjoy the scenery (actually its because I can never keep up).

Did anyone else come across a Porsche 996 Turbo, Audi S3 and a BMW 540IL screaming down Pacific Hwy on the drive home?

I had just taken off from some traffic lights, when the Porsche came SCREAMING up behind me (it was raining :P ) and tailgated me for about 15 seconds before I changed lanes... He nailed it and went by me... Then the Audi came screaming past... Then the BMW tried to but it was slow :)

Stopped at the next light, they all surrounded me and the passenger in the BMW (which was beside me) leaned out, had a huuuuuuuge grin, and took a photo of my car...

Gave the thumbs up and off we went again... Played with them for about 5 mins until they turned off towards the Harbour Bridge... Was tempted to follow them, but cbf'ed :)

    • 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?
