i quite enjoy leavin $70k hsv's etc for dead , not coz they are fast cars , but coz the silly bugger has spent so much money on a shitbox.

Tried racing them around a corner? Just cos they're slow in a straight line doesn't mean it's a shitbox. By that logic, a $2m McLaren F1 is a shitbox because a $20k GSXR1000 will beat it over the ¼ mile. It's a different matter of course if they think their car is the fastest thing around, or if they somehow think that you're 'below' them because you didn't spend as much money as they did. Then it's time for an arse whipping :)

Hehe yeah, the earlier model R1's weren't *that* fast in gear. At Darlington Park I dragged one off going down the back straight - niether of us could believe it, I just shrugged my shoulders and kept passing him :) Was that a 1st gear run on the bike? Most litre bikes will do over 130km/h in 1st and many also have torque limiters, so it's not until second and sometimes third that they get full power. Try it from 150 or 200 :)

Actually my brother ran a black R32 GTR on my bike, 2nd gear roll-on from about 100 to 180 the GTR was only four or five carlengths back. It shot flames on backoff too and sounded angry he reckons :)

Hrmm.. geeez.. mayb y this is some of the reason why I have had a lance n a magna tried to wipe me out.. :)

Ah well.. I dont race at all.. tho.. I did by accident once tested and confirmed that my traction control does work (ie. the slip light blink like crazy and I was not going anywhere), the ford behind me was not too impress tho.

one night travelling to surfers paradise from tweed area, we had these guys in a monaro, i wasnt driving as i had a bit to drink but even in currumbin were we were 2 or 3 cars back in traffic, he had to dump the clutch and do a burnout(for god knows why) and then all the way up, they were trying to race us.. at one set of lights we were finally matched, i told driver, dont worry about them as i cbf dealing with getting car confiscated if anything happens, anyway the drive of monaro revvs engine.. and almost stalls it(you know kangaroo hoping or whatever, its like a mili second away from stalling) , he then did the big fly by when we were sitting on speed limit 10seconds later, so we did the appropriate wanker signals to him(after about 3 or 4 times over the trip telling him were not bothering on public roads)we could stop laughing the rest of the way..

i mean seriously, i dont mind at night, on 'private roads' if asked politely(as in good nature) having a run with something.. but this whole, yoru car is shit, thing.. well i guess i missed that phase :S but whats with dickheads trying to race at every lighst after saying no already..(oh should be noted, all people in the monaro had beers in hand.. even the passenger was passing the beer to driver to take swigs )

Ok I had to add this one,

Girlfriend picked me up in the line from the station the other night...

Mr Joe Cokhead in his new M3 at the lights we take off slowly so he stabs it and reaches that rattly M3 exhaust note that seems so common yet reminds me of a $50 tip on an excel, so what happens next...

Girlfriend punches first bangs second...seeeya...

Next lights pull up on the other side of him...windows down both cars, girlfriend leans over me and says "Should let your wife drive, she couldn't do any worse..."

I am really starting to hate M3's I like the look but the fart in a tin can sounding exhaust makes me wonder how well manufactured the rest of the car is...

Ok was at Aspley with my car, and these guys were geeing me up for a run for the past 5 weeks or so and I couldn't run them because I needed to get my bigger fuel pump, because I was leaning out at around 10psi with the new turbo. Finally they come up to me again after fuel pump install and tune.

They told me that I was going upagainst a 5L VN and pointed to a black kitted VN parked no to far away. "it's got extractors, exhaust, chip, and a cam" Thats it I said? to which they replied yep.

So we cruise on out to the highway, on the way out the VN gives it a little while alongside me, and a particulsr sound grabs my attention... yes I herd that whine of a supercharger winding up. My mate herd it aswell, so we figured we were in for a decent run.

Had a run form 80 in third and he pulled 2 car lengths while i was lagging, They were all yelling and laughing shit as they tore away form me. Caught up and had a run from 100. different story, they pulled half a car length, then i came onto boost and pulled past them changing into 4th.

On the way back down the freeway raced from 2nd at about 20. He broke traction hardcore but still pulled 2 car lengths wheelspinning away from me as I was lagging then I hit boost broke traction, hooked up again at top of second, hit third spun till about 120, hooked up and once again passed them changing into 4th. Was a lot of good clean fun.

Not having to worry about wheelspin!? You try moving forward with an open diff on the pan!

You've beaten me on the skidpan in the past Marc.

You bake biscuits. An Air biscuit is a fart. I actually got that out of Cleo or something. Also obtained another good definition from there.

Wanking Spanners, noun; hands.

2 of my favourites from a chicks mag, they are turning dirty.

    • The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG has not responded to my emails so far since purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.  
    • There's a good German place in Brisbane if youre up for the drive 😛
    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋
