  1. I have just tow the sports car to Winton (Benalla) and back. 500km with 1300kg on the trailer 650kg.

    Well ... I will tell my towing experience in another thread.

    But towing cost petrol, naturally.

    When I go to Benalla, I have V Power and it takes 16.9L/100km

    When I come back, I put the rest of my V Power racing in the tank (I did not end up using my tank in the car :() but the power increase and the fuel consumption drops! to 14.9L/100km.

    May be wind, but the total mass is 60L of petrol lighter. But I am sure V Power Racing rocks! :yahoo:

    Sorry to bring an old thread up, but this is pretty awesome.

    I bought an 80 Series Petrol Landcruiser to tow my Supra to the track, and the thing isnt that great at towing. I mean it tows it , but when it comes to hills i have battles with Semi Trailers! And Fuel...ha! Without towing returns at least 21/100km! With towing around 30!!

    Ive now discovered if you want to tow, you cant beat Turbo Diesel. Now I want the Current Hilux TD

  2. Damn, i love this car, but I would have got TE37 :P :lol: JK!!

    Damn, seems like your having a bit of issues. I was really considering one for the wife (In white), or an IS250. The IS250 is too small out the back, but she says the Aurion is not really a girly/mum car haha, so she wants an RX350 :angry:.

  3. shoulda bought a GTR... :P :P :P hahahaha

    just playing man... (just a joke from the other thread in case you didnt get it!)

    seriously though... what a car! congrats on actually modifying a supra that looks clean, but still stands out... :)

    honestly, a beautiful car! :)

    if it were my car, the only thing i'd change would be to get some side skirts and rear bar to suit the front lip... just so it looks a little more even... but thats just me...

    oh and that dash!!! OH. MY. GOD.... i dont know how the hell you found that dash, but good job!!!

    oh and 10.5" rims? what you couldnt fit 20" wide rims on it!? :lol:

    traction must be great... which tyres are you running on the new rims? i'm scared to ask the price of them!! :o

    hahahaha fark GTR's!!! That is my arch rival on the track hehe. I cant beat them, unless they break down haha. Thanks alot dude.

    Yeah, I have thought about some side skirts and rear pods, maybe in the future.

    Yeah the old RE30 were 11" wide hehe. Im running Toyo T1r. They are ok for the street. All up wheels with tyres, just shy of 6k :angry: :o :(

  4. Secaboy, maybe you should have worded it as: "What made you choose the IS-F over the AMG? I would have picked the AMG". Im sure thats probably what you meant, but when i read: "You should have got the AMG", it seems like he made the wrong decision.

  5. should have bought a C63 AMG... much better car, imo...

    Really nice thing to say when someone has spent 100k+ on a car. Im sure, he/she had their reasons to pick this over the AMG. I would pick the IS-F over both AMG and M3...but hey thats just me, and who gives a ****?

    Out on the track earlier this week, a driver with an AMG Black series (This is almost 300krrp), could not use his paddle shift, and had to make do with the auto because the downshifter paddle broke...this is one of the many reason alot of people go Japanese over European!

    Ohh and to the OP, awesome stuff. I love these things!

  6. Spotted a current shape Corolla yesterday, that blue colour, with a nice front lip, and TRD wheels, in Auburn area. VERY nice. I was in my wifes Echo Sportivo.

    Also, today I spotted a very nice Black Yaris, on what look like Buddy Club wheels, on Smithfield Rd, I was in my Supra.

    hehe thanks thats meee :)

    Ahh thats yours. Man makes me like the current the Corolla even more! What chasis is it? btw, i beat you into the city, i saw you again on parra road hehe
