Perry,

You obviously don't live in Winthrop, so...

Sorry Perry, can't make it at dawn, be working all night to fit my new racing beat brushless electric supercharger which is the really big model with 2 Computer fans in series and only cost $460 at Speedworks. It add's over 1000 microbars of boost at idle! It says so on the box. Should be good for another 80KW at least. Do you think the V8 will stand the strain of all that extra power continuously or should I fit a switch for that as well as the LED windscreen washers. P.S. my rear wing filled up with water yesterday and I could not open the boot. Do you think it will mess up the steering if I drill sum holes in it so the water runs out. The Steering is getting pretty light at 100 Km/h already or should I fit a full sik body kit as well.

Regards

Roger

Seriously Perry,

Why don't we settle this Fast and Furious, Winthrop Style. We all go down to the car park at Macca's, line up and compare dyno print-out's. A really accurate, fair way to resolve disputes like this. There are some dyno's here that are so accurate they would show me making over 100KW on a bicycle. Then afterwards the loser has to pay for the meal. Failing that, if you are intent on popping a cap in my back... could you make it one of the new 2 Farad ones with the LED display and the gold plated terminals cause with the 3 18's in the back my PIAA HID look 15,000 k headlights are dimming out too much on the bass notes.

Thanx

Seeing as you are "far ahead of the times" can you tell me if this look would be right for my Wife's LS400. I think it's really out there but I might be a bit ahead of my times too. Would I have to fit a V6 to get the pipes right? The double number plates is just pure class.

Yeah, it's not bad Roger but the tail pipes are a bit short and horizontal don't you think? Add about a metre to them and kick em out at a 45 and she'll sweet. Dyno shootout hey, hmm. I think I might stand more of a chance on a slalom around said Macca's car park. We can use pickles as the markers and my wife has final say on who the winner is if I was to lose.

How 'bout the Bunnings next door, its a lot bigger and I have to warn you I've done it in 4'26" on street tires including the underground carpark. Speeds of of up to 35 Km/h on the straight! Most of the other guys who come to Macca's could not drive a nail through soft soap but I trained for 2 years on my PlayStation and have got lightning fast reactions now. Only problem was I played Demolition Derby so I prang a bit more than some guy's. Thanks for the advice on the pipes, I knew there was something not quite right. The extra length and the kick up would give a lot more down force at full boost from the electric turbo.

Definately separate sensors for ECU and temp gauge. (pre'94 V8's anyway)

Perry

This is how the aforementioned underbody glow and LED Washers look on a Soarer as opposed to a fine Korean Product such as your daily driver. This is absolutely not my car (but is from Perth).

On the other hand this is a Fine Korean product with the same tasteful options. If you want to see some people really dedicated to Hyundai Style in a way that challenges our commitment to Soarers visit

if you dare.
