f**k, seriously buy the bmw then. I'd be happy with that, but fuel can be shit.

Also- how the f**k is the thunder the only good hsv to get.

Maloo's and GTO's are f**king great!.

New maloo is absolute sex.

No way, new Maloo is disgusting! Does put out decent power though. Monaro's also go hard, but too much of a two door commodore for me. Thunder's go hard without that "im a rich bogan" look that comes with Maloo's

These cars have zero mystique is the problem. Maybe that's just 'cos I wasn't born and brought up here I dunno?

The only Ford I'd think about is an Escort RS Cosworth from back in the day. As for Holden? Meh they are Vauxhall back in the UK...they make company cars.

The box wont go they are running them in 8 and 9 sec cars over in the US, they are getrags, similiar to the supra 6 speeds and wayy stronger than any gtr 5 speed box that for sure. I think wayyy too people beleive the crap published in hpi etc and they dont have a clue. Its the transfer case on the early models which are known for going with big launches and higher power but you can buy a billet replacement case for under $1500au brand new and they are running 8s on them too :)

SO much bullshit info with very little actual experience on these cars im afraid. Its as bad as trying to convince the yanks the gtr is a great car also.

The motor is also stronger than a rb26 as well :laugh: the yanks reckon 600awhp is the reliable limit of the stock internal bottom end if its in good health, dont think many 26s will go near that. Thats running 10s in a 1720kg car too, so no dodgy power figures.

Granted I have 0 first hand experience just quoting what I've heard.

You can get 600hp out of a stock 1jz bottom end as well, so people say.

Just got the Soarer. Get an auto as they all are, do the conversion for like 3k and be done with it.

I would LOVE to import one of those... but would cost a bomb

I am going for an E30 325i or 325is for my next car. So I voted for the 540i BEEMER here. 4.4L V8, mmmmm :)

    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn 
    • Sounds good, we will aim to be there! @The Bogan I'll give you a shout if you are heading up to campbelltown for the meet too.
    • Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.
    • Nah that is just crappy GPS mapping, I did have a small excursion (cold tyres, damp track, surprise!), will post up that when I get a chance.
