How times have changed regarding Skaife. In 1992 when Skaife and Richards won Bathurst in the Skyline under controversial circumstances, it was a whole different story. They were both booed in the...
Well just to correct you FPV although i wasnt around at the time, i do know that Gibson did give the Almight XRGT its first win at Bathurst, but it wasnt 1976, more like 1967. I think by 1976, the...
I always seem to come in late with my comments on the threads but to put my 2 bob in Id have to say the "R" and "S" series Valiant are perhaps unique, but I dont find them ugly at all(although in...
im going to stump you now fpv, did you deduct the 50 points penalty that rick kelly got for the indy infringment, and if u did how did you work out how many points his penalty was worth. Your system...
Some Fords such as xr6s in the mid 90s had an eletronic limiter when the car reached 180km/h, im not sure if the current model cars have the same type of limiter, but i think that would be a more...
yes when they showed the telecast times on the box i thought it was a misprint, but it is a twilight event for the first race. Is it going to be a delayed telecast for the first race, they will show...
Oh so there is a seperate thread for supercars now, as i have just discovered. Yes the Ambrose car was smoking but atleast he made it back to the pitlane unlike The Kelly brothers, which lessened the...
I dont know if theres a seperate area for v8 supercars now, i would probarbly of found it if i looked harder, if there was. I am just shocked that Ambrose had the championship in the bag today and...
I read somewhere, that this latest Monaro could be the last if sales dont improve, the yanks didnt warm to the aussie slash yankee pontiac coupe and sales were slow, but i think Holden are hampered...
If i remember correctly Ford was ahead of family car sales in the mid 90s till they brought out the "AU" which slowed there sales down, and form which theyre still prob suffering from to this day....
Ford has scooped the car awards(dont know the official sponsors of it) best family car, best SVU and best small car, Subaru beat them with there wrx for best sports car, and for Holden i dont think...
yes well he had good car control, but he is a dick for doing it on the street. I was reding with interest on a seperate thread about xr6 turbos, i actually test drove one with 46000 kms on the clock...
funny you should mention silvias, drifting and SA, as about a month ago i saw a silvia drifting from side to side going around a corner, he was a good driver as he hung it out both ways and kept it...
I think the best Monaro was the HK 327, theres no doubt in my mind about that, the new Monaro looks over aggresive and its not very flattering in my opinion. The new Commodore VZ is going to do to...
I dunno about you guys, but id love to see more decorated drivers drive in the GT Performance catagory and the manufacturers using it as an advertising tool and pouring more money into the sport. I...
Dang i should really go to bed, it wasnt Matras post at all, sheeesh, ahwell goodnight lol
Geez how people change, A V8 Ford -Matras favourite car?.......nooooooooooooooooo, say it aint so lol, hehe well i guess i was wrong, I thought people like Matra would never look at a V8 twice, I...
Well i get the rx7 back tomorow, the bloke whos doing the work on it seems pretty honest, but very expensive, he changed the airflow sensor and put a modified air filter on it, but the airflow sensor...
Well to be realistic you got to break down the cars into eras, before the first true aussie muscle car came out the "XRGT", you had cars like the GT cortinas and EHS4 and X2 HD Holden, which were...
I have to wait till monday to get the car back now(rx7),Im hoping itll run smoother quicker and more economical otherwise im not gonna hang on to it, with the XB series Falcon, it would of been a...
AND DONT FORGET The XL5 AU ute, now what a marketing tool that was.....(yes i was being sarcastic)
Well quite not so suprisingly the XA has a windsor which are renown for running hot so it warms up in a matter of minutes( i never drive it on a hot day otherwise itll cook itself). Yes you do have...
The falcon runs a 2.92 diff ratio which helps it economy wise. It may be a 30 year old model car, but its been completly rebuilt by hand and has won a trophy at a car show before i owned it!Its...
So basically if you turbo charge a rotary engine theres no need to port it? But if i was to keep it N/A, im better off with exhaust, air filter ECU and a mild port? At this stage im leaning more...
I own a 5 litre Falcon with very modified internals ( major head work, forged pistons, big cam etc) I also recently purchased a stock 13B non turbo rx7 series 4 as an everyday driver. This may...
