Hi Alfamale.
Awesome car you've got there.
;D
Hey Alfamale,
I missed this a while back. Nice one! Supercharged 147GTA, making some good horsepower too. You must be happy with mid 13 sec quarter mile times. Whats the understeer like?
Welcome, does the torque steer make the car change lanes like my old TX5 Turbo did?
Looks like a quick car. Nice work on the conversion, looks tidy.
Maybe you should come and join us at a track day to see just how fast it is. That way you won't have to speed on the street.
Fully sick. I like it.
Showing your age Marco. It's "sic".

Brad,
I fitted the Quaife LSD differential, Bilstein PSS9, also larger none floating swaybar. So no lane changing it just sits like a brick. But very hard on the tyres, which are next on the list. Im thinking the Falken RT215 semi slicks.

Understeer is just as abnormal as any front wheel drive. Lay of the power whilst cornering else u end up in the ditch, thou the diff makes the power easier to use

Just the way we like it bro, keeps out the tools. Once you've seen one HID or stereo install, you've seen them all.
Mate, that sounds like a serious piece of machinery you've got there. Phillip Island is in two weeks, you won't regret it (unless you stack it of course).

lol. yer stereo is standard sorry dude.
What do i have to fill out to have a run, I have a wakefield license. So assume the same process?
Sorry, forgot to say. If you come to the Island you could try and beat our resident 'old farts', Allan Goodall and Robin Doherty. Allan only has 250bhp in his 75 (from what I've heard), and Robin has 190 bhp in his 90, and both are over 50 (in fact Robin is retired).
They'll be no trouble to beat around the Island, surely? ;)

Schweet, the Stig will be driving. And the semi-slicks will now be slicks.
There'll be a link on the front page of the website, under 'downloads'. Sorry don't know what a 'wakefield' licence is? Need a Cams 2S licence, you can get it on the day, and you need to be a member of any affiliated car club.
Come on down bro, 2nd best track in the country!
Slicks! Got a cage in that bad boy? I could be wrong, but I believe that if you're running slicks with no cage the scrutineers or clerk-of-course can choose to not let you run.
What size wheels you running?
