Come down man

Should be allrite

Looks like Ford is getting serious about the focus with the turboed 165kw version making its way down here. It has 320 nm of Torque, 0-100 in 6.1 and a top end of 240. With the stivo's out of production its a good time for Ford to step in. Not to mention they have an awesome colour range compared to the bland toyota colours. Maybe its time for toyota to step in with the Supercharged Corolla. info courtesy of carsguide.com.au :P

Ok, just spoke to them again, you get 3 runs they provide a printout, and 30 cars is about the most they can do in a day. :D Let the battle begin.

Toyota vs Opel day :D I think its best to bring 30 bux along. will find out about the printout soon?

Its allrite if we get a few extra cars, anything up to 40 cars is menagable in a day i should think.

This is Great HDACHE cant wait to see the Astra's in action :)

Can you bring some latte's E-Gene?

Ok Guys.........Dyno day is booked for Sunday the 16th. Contact is Simon from NT Performance 9687 3074. Time start : 9am Finish: Late Afternoon Lunch : Free, oganised by NT performance Cost : $30/car Dyno mode: Shootout, 3 runs per car. Location: 25 Youell Street, Footscray Vic. I made the booking for 20 cars but more are welcome. :) RWD cars are welcome also. Be there !!!!!

At least we get money coming in from interstate :) so pay up biatches!!!!!!!!!!!

But you cant drive the titis off it and still be within the speed limit. If youre in a 80 zone, and youre doing 40, even if youre still in second, it will take a bit for the revs to build up, and by the time you rev out second youre over the speed limit. Thats what makes it a hard car to drive in certain traffic situations.

Allrite, looks like we have 13 so far. I will call the place oin monday and make a booking for 20 cars. Once those spots fill up, thats it. Ill let you know more on Monday...go the Swannies!!!!!!!! :D

And thats all fine guys I totally agree, just makes you think this car was designed with selling attributes in mind, not a purposeful built car. I now know why it got the bad publicity, because its got a sporty engine in a car designed for everyday use. Its built around numbers which dont add up for everyday driving. I mean its fine to drive, just, if you ever need to step on it and use that "power" and youre stuck in a high gear, by the time it arrives, it could be too late.

I'll find out. Shouldnt be an issue.

First of all, I dont intend to make this thread controversial, just informative. I love my car, handling great, just one concern....the engine doesent make sense for everyday driving. This morning was a perfect example, I had to overtake was in 3rd....the car didnt move, dropped to second, moved a bit....but by the time you get to lift it can be too late and you might stack. This car is hard to drive sometimes, you almost have to drive it like a race car,revving its tits off to move. What im more concerned about is lift....well its great and all, but how often do we use it in normal driving?? hardly....so its function is somewhat impractical, especially in 1st gear around a corner...just thought id share an issue that doesent get enough coverage on here...getting in trouble by the lack of usabale power.. Any opinions on this?

I'd say they give printouts, its a DynoDynamics dyno. The guy told me about a chevy club having one last month with 30 odd cars, took them a whole day. So who is in?? 1.Me+1 2.Peekay 3.Egene 4.HDACHE 5.Chompies the rest of you guys can confirm yourselves....at this stage im thinking the Bike Grand Prix weekend in October the 15th or 16th...does anyone have issues with those dates?

Here is a list of Dyno places http://www.dyno.com.au/nearest/vic.htm

Ok Guys I rang NT Performance Tubocharging in Footscray, they can do it next month, as long as we give them 2 weeks notice. Its $30 a car as long as we get 20...and you get 3 dyno runs. They will have a BBQ and it will take most day from 9.30 to about 4 in the afternoon.... So who would still be interested??? I would like people to confirm so that a booking can be made next week....It will be on a weekend day so let me know. Cheers

i rang dynologic, when they heard it was corollas they said "No Thanks", takes too long for setup, would only get 18 cars max in a day.

Some of you guys are taking this too seriously, i mean get a life, its not a federal election, you dont have special powers being a mod, infact you get restricted. Whethere I am a mod or not makes no difference, but to some i guess it does I was made a mod along with peekay and daniel(2zz_ge) and egene because when this forum started we had a common interest and we owned rolla sportivo's. Danz was also one of the first, so i reackon he would be worthy For the rest of you guys that want to become mods, its up to Steve, but to be honest there isnt much to do, apart from youre a mod WOW!!! i guess you can impress your parents and make up some shiet to make them think you dont spend all day on the pc downloading porn ;) as youre moderating the forum, but yer dont fark this forum up by signing every dikc just to get a vote. Sad farking world for some.

Get a Saab 900 turbo late 80's
