  1. Mate there is no substitute for German engineering :P A guy whom I used to detail his Monaro weekly had an RS4 give him a run and over the distance of a quarter mile(roughly) he got spanked. It wasn't until he was top end 4th did he start to reel him in with any real acceleration. Audi RS4/6 ----- sexiest wagon ever built.I'd love one!!!!! My customer's Monaro---- LS edit, headers, full exhaust system, SS inductions "Big Mouth" throttle body, cam change, new roller rockers, cam followers etc etc and a full Mafless tune ---- 270kw atw. As for modifying a RS6,RS4 or Golf.... there is a hell of a lot of stuff out there for them BUT not a big call for it in Australia due to the price of the car and secondly the demographic of society who can afford and own one. I for one have seen the results of VW's and Audi's with bolt on's and tunes and they are serious bits of gear. The big thing that I have noticed is how the German's make cars with serious torque from smaller capacity engines as compared to the Japanese.(without the need for elaborate forced induction)
  2. OOOhhhhhh lets cruise with black cars :o I bet the talk would be who has the most scratches and biggest swirls in their paint. :P :P :P Or who has to wash their car the most to keep it looking clean I might just crash this meet to show you what a "real" shine is........ B)
  3. Better check to see if you can buy directly off whiteline as last time I checked you had to be one of their direct wholesalers to buy straight from the factory. If you can't get a good price then I still may be able to get them for the same price as last group buy which was $160inc gst plus freight to where ever you are. Let me know if I can help out Gazoom:)
  4. 1976 to be exact and about to get a whole lot more pimpin. B)
  5. Helcical is the way to go for smoothness of operation and Quaife is the one that I would choose. Not the cheapest but prolly the best. Been around for years and are used by a lot of off road racers that I know of and have been relatively trouble free and pretty much unbreakable.
  6. I think the wattage on the fog lights is 55w from memory. Anybody care to correct me on this???? I could be wrong :P
  7. All that I can say is that when my Kombi makes a return to the road I'll go looking for a R32 to stirr up and see if he takes the bait. Love to see the look on his face when the block of orange and white flats pulls up along side him so I can wave and smile then pull away. ;) WHY??? BECAUSE A REAL VOLKSWAGEN IS AIR COOLED BABY :P :P :P :P :P (and I'll have a nice lil turbo to boot hehehehehehe) Sportivo is nice and quick but the element of surprise comes in a big orange and white box :D Life In The Low Lane will be back in business real soon........
  8. OK 2 SPOTS UP FOR GRABS NOW. IF YOU KNOW OF SOMEONE WHO WANTS TO COME THEN PM ME ASAP
  9. OK 1 Spot is now available due to Buddha pulling out due to the ferociousness of the ol' mazda basher Celica. So if you want it then PM me ASAP and also if you haven't confirmed then PM me as well or you may loose your spot
  10. Sportivo pedals are roughly about $120+ depending on the dealer. As for sway bars I find that replacing the front sway bar induces more understeer on rougher roads. The rear is a must but unless your on a smooth track the benefits of a front sway bar upgrade are minimal and aren't really noticable with daily street driving.
  11. You can be fined for having the fog lights on. I've been lucky to get away with it on a few occasions but the the only legal use of fog lights in in adverse conditions. It doesn't matter if they are from the factory but this is what I was told by a mate who is a Cop in traffic branch. If you use them and the weather is of a safe acceptable condition they(Police if they want to be mongrels) can give you a ticket. Of course you can fight it but you'll need a good lawyer who has the ability to manipulate the law to suite your situation. As for the cannon..... enough said ;) But it does sound like a case of wrong place wrong time. Did they throw the book at the under age drinkers??? There the ones who should getting harrased as they are the ones who go around being little turds vandalising public property and cars parked out in the street.
  12. Dyno spots are all taken people. If you know some one on the list who is a possible then please get them to confirm otherwise they will be removed for somebody who is definate. Alternately please confirm that you yourself is still coming. cheers SB :D
  13. What bushes do you want??? Energy suspension from the states do poly bushes for our cars from front to back.
  14. Still looking for some sponsors of some trophies. If you would like to sponsor or work for a company that would sponsor a trophy then please contact me asap. Trophies cost $25 each to sponsor. Sponsors so far are CES, RBT Motorsport and Autobarn Logan City. Only 1 or 2 spots left on the dyno so be quick or miss out. There will be a whiteboard at CES on the day which will have the order of the cars on the dyno. Unless you specifically ask to be on at a particular time then you will just be added to the order as you arrive and pay your money. Some have requested particular times due to having to go to work etc etc. The show and shine judges have been organised and both have a lot of previous experience in judging cars at shows/displays. Guys/girls by all means if you have friends(Kyle relatives don't count :P ) then bring them along to watch but remember to enter the workshop you must have ENCLOSED FOOTWEAR otherwise you will have to stay outside. Any of our southern members who wish to come up for weekend let me know so that we can help make arrangements for your stay if you wish. Cheers Silvabullit. :D
  15. Check wheel alignment, wheel balance and tyre balance. Also check to see if the sway bar mounts are tight and all bolts holding the sub frame in as well. One Brissy member had a clonk in his front end and it ended up being a sway bar mount was very loose and close to falling off.
  16. I think we need to do up a spreadsheet of all the exhausts that different people are running on their cars. Then list price,performance gains,what the system/muffler consists of as well as if it is legal noise wise.
  17. Well seeing that Bangn hasn't answered my question about the muffler then maybe you in all your infinte wisdom can. Hope your wearing your clown suit tho :P Last time I checked the Spoon Muffler wasn't an axel back either ;) Unless you get someone to add the necessary pieces to make it one.
  18. I'm not out this week guys as I have a car to get ready for the VW show I'm going to on the weekend. Got some last minute detailing to do before driving down on Friday. See ya's in a fortnight!!! BTW Billy Joel ...... I'm there baby :P :P :P Cause I got tickets thanks to Mr Northy :D :D :D
  19. it's that what the 1/4 mile is... put it in gear and accelerate :P :D yeh doesn't look too flash but trust me it can go quicker than that, Wheels always have slower times due to them having one more or is it 2 more people in the car. They apparently also encountered some problems and had to do 7 consequtive runs in 10minutes which is obviously not good, if they had more time they could let the car cool down a little more between runs. ;) And a full tank of fuel as well ;)
  20. There you go Waiwong Rollamods has put his hand up to do it. On the cheap cheap perhaps???? :P
  21. Well paint them!! IT's not really that hard so just mask all the areas you don't want to paint and then prep the area you want to paint and then start spraying.
  22. Many happy returns for Yesterday!!
