Where do you see Top Gear? 5th Gear is on the lifestyle channel on foxtel. Or at least it was, it hasn't been on lately. I've heard a lot about Top Gear, but never actually seen it.

I'll download it if I have to but is it on any channel on Foxtel or Free-to-air?

5th Gear can be a bit boring sometimes but the last one I saw was good. Had Porsche vs. Porsche and Lamborgini Gallardo vs. Ducati. The crash tests are usually good as well. I think the boring parts are usually the non-performance stuff. Like when they road tested different fuel efficient cars, or some bloody people-mover.

Top gear is on BBC World on foxtel but at random times. It's also a heavily cut down version of the one the BBC shows in the UK.

I watch Top Gear by downloading the full length episodes from usenet.

I already posted this on the Arial Atom thread, but for Top Gear fans Final Gear have some classic Top Gear episodes (1989-90) for download if you're interested.

Yeah ive been going throught them. Very interesting to see the old reviews... 1990 episode 7 - Tiff Needle gets show how to do the scandinavian flick in a rally car - this may be the first epsiode where tiff learns to go side ways... and now look at him... all he does is go sideways.

Also in the season of fifth gear episode 2 tiff drives a williams f1... man he was nervous and excited

Bring on more topgear and fifth gear

Funny - Im currently downloading and watching Top Gear episodes from 1989 and 1990. Im hoping ill run across a 1989 episode where they review the R32 GTR...

It seems to be more looking at auctions, car tips etc and then there is reviewing of the cars... it would be very interesting to see what they thought back then.

Episodes 3 is up.

It will be interesting to see if Clarkson's back holds up for the next season as by the end of the last he could hardly walk!!

What about the car 5th gear give away as prizes everyweek?? They are damn nice, and the answer to the multiply answer questions is always the same for the whole season :)

    • Kinda glad I never got to this ..    https://www.facebook.com/groups/1483859159195077
    • @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.  
    • I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.  
    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
