  1. From what I've heard, e10 is the devil. Drive did a study and found 98 premium ends up costing essentially the same as 91 over 20,000kms because of increased efficiency. Then you need to consider the extra power and how much nicer it is for you engine.
  2. Ozzy tyres are based in nsw but offer free nation wide shipping. Mixing front and rear tyres Is no issue. In fact it's a simple way to neutralize the handling of the understeer biased IS.
  3. 7.5 seems quite high from sydney to Melbourne(temp probably playing a big part). I managed 6.7 just last month with cruise set to 117kmh.
  4. Aww man! In Victoria the 350 is already on the blacklist, so im stuck with lil old 250 for at least 3 years.
  5. http://s17.postimage.org/zci1uoai3/IMG_1315.jpg' alt='IMG_1315.jpg'> In theory this should work??? who thought it was so hard to post a damn picture!
  6. That's it. Call the FBI this is some twilight zone *BLEEP*!!!! Lol you must be in nsw. I'm in melbourne.
  7. I average about 11L/100 but to be completely honest i am a little bit of a hoon :D . However with some 'spirited' mountain driving i can easily see 25L/100, although thats essentially with the car never dropping below 4000rpm for an hour or so(My friends 330ci touches 30L under the same conditions). When my mum orginally drove the car she averaged about 7.8 what i would call average everyday driving.
  8. Yea thats the right bar, price seems pretty much even with buying staight from Jun TW. But yea, the bar itself seemed to be good(not quite F-sport *sigh*) quality but the bushing seemed very cheap and nasty so if you can get others go for it.
  9. Have a squiz at Ozzytyres, they seem to be pretty cheap in comparison to local dealers. Also check out Nitto Invo tyres, i have them on the back and their grip levels are chalk and cheese compared to the stock Dunlops.
  10. Can i ask how much those 2012 style lights set you back? and the install labour costs?
  11. I wouldn't say so. I Ended up using the f sport bushing on the rear because the jun tw ones looked pretty low quality.
  12. I recall the cars guide did a long term test on this issue. Apparently over the long run(20,000 Kms in a Holden captiva) 98 ends up averaging within $10 overall cost of 91 octane(95 was more costly because of less of an increase in efficiency) because of the increased efficiency, also you need to take into account how much better it is for your engine. LPG ended up being significantly more expensive because of the skyrocket in consumption.
  13. Dimensions and weights can be found on the jun tw website. From memory the front weighs 5.7kgs and the "read away bar" 3.5 or somthing?
  14. Yea that's not the PayPal charge they called it the PayPal transfer fee. As in jun tw charging me for paying via PayPal. Probably a ripoff but at this point I just want a freaken bar.
  15. True, it seemed cheap, but with shipping and the PayPal charge(I could have bank transfered but I prefer PayPal) it escalated quickly. Besides from the reviews I've read on this and the US forums the bar are essentially identical.
  16. Thanks. I've been in contact with 'Teng' from jun tw and have ordered the rear bar. $187+$99 shipping and $45 PayPal transfer charge. Thanks so much for all your help, especially ilv1004. I think I'll certainly be looking at this forum more often, a very useful tool indeed.
  17. Selling BRAND NEW AND UNUSED f-sport rear sway bar for is-f. $220+shipping Cheaper than from the USA and save on shipping! Note: Will only fit is-f will NOT fit is250/350. Pm with any questions.
  18. Just got the sway bars and yep the rear does not fit. Having a look on the the jun tw website all I can find is the inquiry button. How do I actually buy the bar???
