    Top 'speed' done and where?

    120 kmh on the highway, 80 kmh during a winding downhill. It was my first time driving a downhill, and it was 4 in the morning. Very exciting for a newbie like me!

    ^ Thanks! Those links sure help a lot! The Toranas uses the same engine as Monaros? Thats news to me I think Ive seen some 68 Monaros too, but I never realize it until now! About the Torana: muscle "hatchbacks"? Never see that one in the States. FYI I love hatchbaks than sedans/coupes If u get...

    Computer-savvy BoSers! I need ur help!

    ^ Go get a desktop. They have more room for modifications and more powerful than any laptops there is at the same price. I also played games using my laptop and recently it tends to overheat and shuts off completely. I was playing the NFS: Carbon at the moment. Or get a heavy-duty laptop...

    turbo, yo.

    ^^ Correct me if Im wrong, but aint both Aurion and Camry basically the same, with minor detail changes. Also, arent both FWDs? At least the Camry here <Jakarta> are FWDs. Wouldnt it be better (ie: more enjoyable) if u got an RWD and crank the heck out of it? Well, I havent driven the new V6...

    ^ Do you mean the Ford's F150? Never heard of the f250 before. Im pretty sure that its the F150 that dominated the US truck market for quite sometime. Every thing Dodge came up these days are IMO disappointing. The Ram has a big engine, but still overrated by anyone who knew the Ram. The Viper...

    Australian Muscle

    ^ I agree. I also prefer to categorize the newer cars as "retro", and the real old muscle cars as "muscle". The new ones just dont have the 'coolness' of the older muscles. But since I wanted to know both new and old Australian muscle cars, I just call them muscle just as others would. Sounds...

    turbo, yo.

    ^^ Yeah, The Aurion seems like a nice car. Altho I'll look other {cheaper} cars if I wanted to mod the heck out o the car. It already has 200kW tho, how much more do you want? I mean, thats already a lot of power u got there .

    turbo, yo.

    True, even if u get catbacks and all u'll only get a tad of performance. Plus if u just install either one or two of the said components, it wont make any difference at all. U'll need to install ALL THREE (or two) to get any 'visible' change. And I figure they'll cost around $1000~1200...

    Well Im no Yank and I dont live there, but I know American Muscles more than I know Australian Muscle. The links u gave sure helps me with something solid to start <again> with (I tend not to trust Wikipedia when it comes to cars) Shelby GT500 sure is cool, but I prefer the 68 Fastback tho...

    Australian Muscle

    Does anyone here still like muscle cars? I love [American] muscle cars, but I barely know anything about Australian Mucle cars (and I dont live in Australia in the first place). I hope any of you enthusiast out there can enlighten me about them. I wanna know what was the hype back then? <Hope...

    turbo, yo.

    If u really like to work on your Yaris (and make it a tad faster), get high flow exhaust manifold, headers and intake. They would give a 'gentle' boost on ur cars performance and albeit cheaper than putting a turbo in your Yaris. And im pretty sure there're some bolt ons that works on a Yaris...

    Post your 2006 UAI here!

    Hi there, here's mine: UAI: 86.85 Math 2u: 89 Math 3u: 40/50 Software Design and Development: 83 Not impressive IMO. I really hoped for a +92.0 UAI score, but I just did stupid things and being lazy and all. Well, thats what u get for not studying hard enough. Hope the 2007 batch can do...

    turbo, yo.

    Just like evryone said: why bother putting a turbo in a Yaris in the first place? Well, u can turbo practically anything these days, just I never heard of a bolt-on turbo for a Yaris. It will be a full custom job. And u wont get a heck of a benefit after all that = waste o money. Better get...

    Any evo fans?

    I like the S200 style though, it looks calmer. But like had been said, it lacks low-end torque and power, pushing it to rev high. I'd still pick the Evo IX tho: cheaper, more aggresive, and track ready. Which reminds me, do anyone here knows EXACTLY the current Evo IX price range? Thx.

    Any evo fans?

    I like Evo's, from the 3rd generation throughout. The Evo8 IMO is a great car for its price, but Im still not sure bout the 9 tho. But, as for daily-driving, I'd pick other car than the Evo. Its not suitable for daily driving, gas-guzzler, hard clutch, high maintenance cost, hard suspension...

    Which car should I buy

    Well, I dont live in Australia but... I heard the Nissan Pulsar GTi is good, equipped with AWD and turbo fi im correct. A Nissan Silvia (180SX/S13/S14)? They're old, but I reckon they would do a track job nicely given you can handle and maintain them properly. But if you ant a new car...
