Glad you like the Victorian road. It is not bad overall. I travel 220km a day to and from work in the countryside and mostly the road is good. But when you see a pothole travelling 110kmh is certainly scarely. Not to mention most highway away from Melbourne is uneven due to servicing one part after another part and most country roads are made in the 60s and only repair were done since then.

Unlike the Autobarn in Germany. :o

But can u provide me with more info on the Aragosta Suspension, cos I did a search in the forum, but not much info.

I found out that the Tanabe Mark up is abit on the high side for the Tanabe.

Cos I went to GR and found out that the HKS HiperMax 2
Japan price is around 240000Yen = S$3720.
GR selling $4100

While the Tanabe
Japan price is $239000 = S$$3750
JeepChee selling $4500.

Anyone know of any shop would can import them??

Add another 190840 yen, you'll get 60 more horses on you car (Greddy turbo)!!! But in my opinion, Tanabe is good for tracking and reasonable for street use.

Same goes for people would are willing to pay $50K for a Watch but do not wish to drive a car.
(same goes for u, would do not wish to pay 1.50 for bottled water and 2 bucks for a canned drink)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And this is what u said in thread

Thread: EVO 9 show in SG

"There was a drink stall there in side on the left near the hanger...but at 1.50 for bottled water and 2 bucks for a canned drink ... i think they can go ****'emselves ...
"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So you think paying 1.50 for some unheard of brand of mineral water and 2 dollars for a canned drink is not expensive ? Wow, do you like to get ripped off ?

WOW I have been gone a long time... :D

Haha..my bad. Typed out that posting too fast and did not proof read the thing.

And as for the FLEX type tein suspension, It does offer a less bumpy ride on soft as compared to a full out race suspension.

Lennon: A turbo would be nice for the RX-8 but not sure how the high compression rotors will take it . Plus once you got boost

MargonOh: It is not illegal , if you get it approved . Which could cost you may be an arm, a leg and your left testicule plus the paperwork to get it all approved ..haha.. After all there is a supercharged LTA legal IS200 running around.

Yup - like Cuscorex said, the Lexus is running a TRD SC. Despite a quote on development of TC and/or SC in Road and Track 2003, no news so far from MS about TC or SC though

Would be nice to just plug and play :D

Maybe wait for 7!

Then can stun! :p

Greddy will give a conservative amount of boost, to prevent customer complain or bad reputation. But to play safe, 1 bar below will be positive figure (my opinion based on some mag).
