    fred's $1500 turbo power up

    Mate top job. You have achieved a lot on a shoestring budget. Well done and as you said it was all done without taking it off the road. At 7psi you will be around 90kw. You may be happy with this but maybe the dark side will consume you totally and the next step will be the internals so you can...

    Drink Driving

    Spot on Cisco. The substance abuse is reaching epidemic proportions. Speed/ice so cheap to buy and that stuffs your brain up forever. Penalities are non existant and the magistrates/judges are not in touch with the real world. Zero tolerance for sure.Drink/drugs driving 1 st offence no licence...

    Drink Driving

First corner rolled it.Lucky idiot (...

    Cisco's Intentions

    Go for it Cisco. I would have bought the Colt but the shape just leaves me cold. Yes bang for your buck it wins and good on Mitsubishi for taking the plunge. I hope they sell thousands of them. Getting used to cars with all the mod cons is frustrating. I do not know how many times I pulled up...

    Cisco's Intentions

    Got me Yom. Which Japanese cars have bad build quality?? One of the reasons I like most Japanese cars is because of their build quality. Must admit the Koreans are catching up quickly but their cars are so boring. Never mind the Chinese are coming. We will all laugh at them to begin with but...

    Cisco's Intentions

    THis is a great thread. Horses for courses I reckon. I could never own a big car. I feel so uncomfortable in them and so isolated from the outside but my foreman at work has a new Holden Dunnydore SS. That thing really flies and when you flick it into sports mode its like another car.A lot of...

    Cisco's Intentions

    Agree with you Cisco re the Colt but the shape does nothing for me. Be a sad world if we all had the same likes/dislikes. Go for it Cisco and yes set up a site.I know what you mean about that turbo boost. Swifty unless it one day gets a turbo does not give you the same buzz as Hack when the...

    Cisco's Intentions

    Hey Cisco any closer to another car?? I think the Suzuki Swift Sports would be a good fit with you. 2 members now paddling around in them so more the merrier. My extractors not far away and still trying to work out which rear muffler would be the best. Also ordered the " sports" air induction...

    Gone Fishing

    Now Toma. If the fish are not floating belly up they are fine. Eat my bait and I eat them.Only real worry is heavy metals and chemicals such as chlorinated hydrocarbonates/ organo phosphates.Swan/Canning okay in this regard but suffer from algae blooms brought about non organic fertilizers. I...

    Gone Fishing

    Gee you are right about those blowfish. Never caught so many in my life!! There must be millions of them in the Swan. Ah yes bream fishing bit of an art. Very softly softly, very light gear and stay quiet. Lot of the time they are very timid feeders and you must be very patient before you...

    Gone Fishing

    WEll caught stuff all but the Swan/Canning river system is new to me so will take a few trips to sort it out. I like to find my own spots, which bait is the best, and hate fishing in a crowd. Do not laugh but my rig consists of a long whippy rod coupled to my 40year old side cast 6" Alvey reel...

    Can't Help Myself

    Good discussion this one. I looked hard at what was around and decided that the Swift was probably best value for money in the price range I was looking at.Yeah Polo with 2 doors was a downer.I also like the shape of the Swift and well you have to buy a car that you like looking at. Ah the turbo...
