  1. I'm a massive F1 fan hence the F1 reference....if you know anything about F1 you would know about the F-duct & double diffuser issue that went through at the start of last season. A couple of us on here ran an F1 thread last season(Project are we on again this season?)

    Sorry mate, not long read this post.......To answer your question, damn straight we are on again this season..........the return of KERS and the unknown associated with the adjustable rear wing......how could we not!!!

    Anyway, we shall chat about this in the F1 thread......!

    As for the the off topic comments......I think enough has been said so I wont add but I will say, (simply because I can), @ Bluewaffle, great community contribution mate.....and nice work with the diffuser! Im sure you are going to get some interest with em! Great thing here, everyone has an opinion and sometimes not all are quite what we expect.....trust me, Lex51s and I are the ones that moderate them.......but that being said, its a great diverse community with all having a common interest in their rides mate!! As for Dis-lex-sic, yeah, he might not be picking the winners come F1, but as Ilv mentioned, he is a genuine bloke that likes to stir!! He's had a go at most of us mate and having met him, you know its all good fun!!!

    Anyway, thanks again for the contribution mate.......nice work!

  2. It actually costs at least $1600 for a original Lexus windscreen; replaced by Lexus.

    Oh yeah, its been a while and I never did update on this!!!

    I had the Lexus oem glass fitted, with oem facias as the clips do break on replacement for $900 neat. YES, it wasn't fitted by Lexus but I ensured that I chose an owner operator that I could trust to replace the screen for me. No apprentices here thank you!!!

    He fitted it at my place and I was one of those annoying by standers that just didn't leave!!!

    So that being said I would say that Lexus was charging considerable for the install!!!

    Soooooo, understanding how much the oem glass costs, do shop around guys!!!

    (And definately do not consider the non oem.........the green tinge and the waviness in the glass is horrific)!!!

    Hope this helps anyone in that crappy situation!

  3. Hey guys!

    I am so touched that I was missed!!!!!:rolleyes: Justin, I should of expected a sly comment from U!!! All good, you will keep! HA!;)

    Dis-lex-sic, mate, my 4 year old has out grown "where's Wally"........Question beckons.......Do you need some help finding him??? Would u like me to organise one of my kids to help?? HAHA!!

    Seriously guys......Danny knows that I would of LOVED to of been there to meet some of you..........(& to give Justin some pay back), but unfortunately due to some unforeseen circumstances, I just couldn't make it! Dan knows!

    Anyway, back on topic, the cars look absolutely brilliant guys!!!! Terry and Dan, Wheels look brilliant. The pics don't do your your car justice Dan!!

    Chris, thks for representing mate and apologies to all again for not being able to attend.....Next time hey!!!! (& Chris, your car looks brilliant mate....I just laugh reading through earlier posts where u talk about keeping things stock!!!)

  4. Hi mate,

    Welcome!

    Quickly, how quickly does it blow the fuse?? Are we talking minutes or days??

    Something is obviously drawing a substantial amount of current to blow that fuse. Either one of the ballasts is faulty and shorting internally when it heats up, or perhaps when you plugged into the lamp sockets, they are shorting somewhere intermittently!

    More info please!!!

  5. Yeah...hmmm.....pretty dissapointed with Lewis. U know Im a massive LH fan and I reckon he has matured soooooo much this year as a driver. He is making calculated risks, and displaying his awesome skill as a driver. With all that being said, why did he have the brain slip and push in a two car corner with 3 already there??? Look, he has admitted fault and I still reckon that Mclaren will have a good down force package for the remaining races, and Lewis will get some winning consistency to help secure the constructors from Redbull! Ferrari have definately stepped it up a notch I must say.....I have to apologise for the lack of "body" in this review, ie..pretty standard so to speak....but I am preparing all my word smithing and opinions for Singapore....................which I was meant to go but unfortunately had to bail from due to certain circumstances............Can't wait...always enjoy Singapore.!!

    On another note, not sure if you watched the doco on Foxtel the other night, but it was on the secrets behind F1.

    Here is a link if you want to stream it. Awesome doco and its makes you realise why there is so much money in F1......and in Bernies pocket!!!!

  6. Well you weren't far off, hey!!! Hope u put some money on!!

    I won't comment too much on the race.........actually I won't say anything.......hows that for a change..!

    As for Flavio Briatore, isn't he Webbers Manager!!!!! Thats why he is hanging around!! He's the one pushing the number 1 status for Webber!!!

    Anyway, I look forward to Singapore!!!

  7. Spotted this amazing black IS250 driving down near Concord Rd this morning. This thing was HOT.......It had MAZZURI HEADERS - TAKEDA INTAKE - TANABE EXHAUST - GFX - 6000K HID KIT - ANGEL EYES - SMD FOGS - LED TAIL LIGHTS - 18" RIMS + EAGLE F1'S - SLOTTED/CROSSDRILLED ROTORS - JUN-TW STRUT BAR - SHARK FIN...........HAHA

    Nice one Justin!!! Didn't get time to do the traditional high beam.....Although u wouldn't probably take notice of a near stocker!!!

  8. Ferrari are just too powerful and as a result have way too much pull !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (in my opinion)!! History dictates this!

    Crazy decision!!!! Its taking the sport away from the fans if they decide to bring team orders back in...................and I don't care how they govern its implementation.

    You couldn't bet on a driver anymore!!!! Oh well, the show must go on!! (and what an awesome show it has been)!!!

    Monza??? Thoughts??

    U reckon the "crash kid" will put a show on??

    Only 5 more races... Not happy!!

  9. Vettel thought he was in a dodgem car, not an F1 car!!!! Damn he lacks race craft.......!!!!

    Brilliant race though.............I got no nails left after the rain periods and LH's greeting with the wall!!!!

    What a great season......Christian Horner better realise that Webber is number 1 in his team...............and Ferrari need to realise that they shouldn't put all their eggs in the one basket!!!!!

  10. Bout bloody time you weigh in!!!

    Mate, I can't wait. I've got the projector, beer fridge etc set up outside for the occasion!! Got friends from all factions representing...........and what a track to start proceedings for the final few races of the season!!!

    Alonso looked strong in P1 and P2.........but with the weather at play.......who knows! Yeah, high speed circuit, low down force, will be interesting. LH to take the win in the wet or dry!!!! Interested to see how the front wings go with the heavier testing!!!

  11. Hey Justin,

    No need for a fat wallet inorder to get good ,(reliable), HIDs! Most of the guys here bought from this local supplier and his kits are pretty damn good. Again, reliabilty is the key!!

    I wasn't asking about the brand, I was enquiring along the lines of specs....... Its all good. I assume the guys there would of given you advice on matching the ballasts to the globes!!!

  12. Guys, I have to say that I just read through these posts and and all I can say is......... "entertaining"!!!!! I know you guys, and I know that you all will remember to keep this topic on the friendly tip!!!!! Very funny again!!! If I can put my 5cents in, 8k very blue Justin no matter the globe type or region!!! But like you said, just get new globes! Problem solved and no need to take it further!! What ballasts did u buy?? biggrin.gif

  13. Okay

    here we go

    finally we are here

    Semi agressive set up

    049-3.jpg

    047-2.jpg

    wheel specs are

    20x9.5F 32offset

    20x10.5R i think 41offset

    i can go lower in the front but im waiting for the new INGS front lip

    and then ill see how much lower i can go

    What can I say Dan..................You got style!!! NIce work! The Off-sets are absolutely superb...........and the over-all look, ie. drop to wheel style..brilliant! Thumbs up!!!wink.gif

  14. Dan, Lalo, great shots.

    Project, there's always next time for the group photo smile.gif Perhaps you'll be there?

    well denis has promised me that he'll be there

    it's been too long

    only old members that are active are me and cevu (justin)

    so about time you show up dennis lol

    Nice pix Danny.

    Next meeting at Denis's place ?!

    How does Justin always get is head in the pics??? Dodgy brother!!

    hhmmm,.....it's not like i took the photos! right place right time i guess :-)

    Talk about a gang up!!! I will try my best fellas. It would be awesome to meet you all!! As for meeting at my joint, hmmmmm.........I only wish my drive was that big!!!!

    And im sure Justin will be there ready to pose.........................I just hope that I can get my ride to a standard where he would want a photo with it!!! HAHA!

  15. Well done Webber...................even though it looked like he was done for after not taking the pit advantage during the pace car..........! How quick are the RB6's......Seriously. Pole position last year was a 1:21.500 by Alonso, What did Vettel pull??1:18.733!!! Wow! And Mark...............to build 2 lots of 20second buffers on second...............impressive.! Vettel falling asleep behind the pace car, says alot about the guy. LOSER!!!

    Poor showing from Mclaren. Damn shame about the LH's gearbox as he was there for a podium. Now people always critise Lewis and say Button is so much quicker............look at what Lewis can do with a car that is clearly not even close to the RB6's or even the Ferrari's at the moment......... !

    The front wings are crazy though......look at the flex.....Crazy~!

    And lastly, Schumie...........I don't need to say anything...............He definately ain't making any friends this season. (But he did leave an inch from the concrete wall for Rubens.......!!!) He was slightly considerate!!! HA!
