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??

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.

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.
Any one know whos the driver ? May be we can ask him how he did it . Than we all can have SuperCharged RX-8s :p :D what joy ...

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
