    Australia's only FRB197 (UPDATE 21/2/12)

    Ive got a few days off work in a row so its finally time for a correction detail. When I had the rear left hand side resprayed (the paint was burnt by sap) the body shop turned the job around far too quickly and left the paint in a shocking state, sanding marks and seemingly no attempt at...

    Honda civic Bugatti veyron

    What the hell were they thinking! Horrendous job and surely they won't sell (id like to think so anyway). I just can't understand what happened when they went past the door handles, it dosent even resemble a veyron!

    Recaro's

    Just a quick Q, Will the meg 250 recaro's fit in the 197? Im assuming the seat rails will have to be replaced but other than that its a usual sportster CS? Cheers Liam

    Your thoughts please :)

    I have had my stock wheels painted black and have found them unbelievably stone chipped after 3000km :( this leaves me with a decision to make : Powdercoat the stock wheels black or buy a set of Oz Ultraleggeras and get them powder coated black (I've got a chance to get some that would need...

    Flappy Paddle poll

    It would really depend on how good the box is, my idea of flappy gearbox's is that they should be manual up/down just without a clutch. At no point should the computer decide you need another gear up or down when in sport mode. If they made that Id buy it instantly

    Will 5dr spoil the appeal ?

    if they were to do it like the RX8 then it could be interesting... however I bet It won't look like the RX8 and will instead resemble dog turd

    It's a bit worrying when you start wet sanding your car...

    Russ If you EVER want to come to Sydney Ill happily offer you our spare room and my car for you to practise on... Your car looks fantastic! It looks a simple enough process, but I wouldn't have anywhere near the balls to attempt it! Heck I really worry when I DA polish!

    Toyota GT 86 finally official

    Id like to say I love it, I really would... but it looks cheap The front end looks really good, the back 2 thirds look a little too plain, cheap cheap looking windows/window moulding. Bugger all wheel arch flair, nasty wheels and a high stance. The bum looks like a toyota camry, old and cheap...

    200: Curtain airbags

    I blew a curtain, drivers side seat bag, belt pretensioners and front bags in a 07 astra, hit a wombat... and a tree... and another 3 trees then landed on my roof after going down a 5m sheer drop... It was definitely written off

    Supersprint (Race) anyone got one?

    yep it's about that, we get ripped big big big time on cars over here. We pay massive retails for them but they do hold their value a lot better. The cars you guys can get a hold of for 5-10k is ridiculous (something like a 6 year old BMW z4 over here goes for 35-40+ thousand bucks!). In all...

    197 v 200 at bedford datalog

    That test is surely almost useless! If they were tested years apart the driver has different physical conditions and the humidity/temperature/track conditions are completely different! It would be nice to know what tyres/brake pads they're using, 2 seconds could be lost or gained there!
