thanks :) I've just got to change my HECS from upfront to deferred for this year, then apparently it will show up..

yeah be careful!!!!! Last year, I was innocently walking up the stairs with a friend of mine, and an asian man with glasses approached us with promises of a free lunch. I couldn't refuse, nor could my friend. He led us through a door, giving us a mysterious piece of paper as we entered, and...

but what about current students (eg 2nd year)? Do we have to pay the $250 soon, or does it just become part of our deferred HECS?

btw, is anyone here a member of the Uni Auto Club (UAC)? Apparently it's among a few unis, but when I spoke to one of the guys in charge last year, it didn't sound too inspiring.. does anyone know much about this club?

Haha sometimes I think I'm too anti-Honda.. but you're even worse! Nah.. I didn't mean Anzac as being a drag meet-up, it just seems like a popular place for spontaneous short sprint drags with all those perfect traffic lights..

Haha yeh $100,000.. maybe it did. The bit I never got about that movie was Johnny Tran was complaining to his mechanic about someone stealing his SR20 motors - but SR20s are from Nissan Silvias/180s. All Johnny's cars were Hondas (and one Lexus).. That car is more than enough to eat most rice...

Yeh it's going strong, mainly because Ford pretty much owns Mazda. Since the early 80s Mazda/Ford engines have been in each other cars etc, and it hasn't changed since.. Mazda is one of my favourite car makes, so I've learnt a fair bit about MazFords.. Why is Honda so scared to touch...

I know! These car threads are popping up everywhere here.. I hate to break it to you man, but check the latest autosalon magazine. They have a review on drags etc, and it quotes the fastest FWD in Australia as being Veselinovic's record of 9.68@150mph. Your mate better match this guy before he...

quite a list (you forgot Mitsubishi's MIVEC though :p)! Of course VCT = S-VT (cos Mazda engines are usually in Fords and vice versa). About the S2000 having the best power-to-litre ratio for an N/A - it makes 174kW for 2L. It's a shame it only makes around 200Nm of Torque (at 7000RPM lol)...

I never thought about that! They're just being safe! Yeh go torque steer! Try drifting in reverse, then you'll apprectiate FWD ;) Pretty much. Honda, Mitsubishi and Nissan have it in several of their cars. Unfortunately, the Hondas are still slow :( :hammer: :wave:

you should try standup you funny man

you're talking about old-school 3 speed autos (very laggy). 4 speed autos are pretty similar performance to manuals.. normally on autos when you floor it, it downshifts and uses the lower gear - it shouldn't go to neutral/wait til the revs lower..

somehow wine doesn't seem very appropriate in those sorts of 'restaurants'. unless it's goon. Then it's very appropriate.

isn't that just hitting golfballs into a river?

Haha yeh only if the seat's behind the pillar (ie you're driving from the back seat)! I think semi-slicks are road-legal tho.. I read in 'autosalon' (I never buy them lol) that Veselinovic broke that Honda's record of fastest FWD 3 weeks ago, with a time of 9.68@150mph, but I don't know what...

Black leather's way better! That 'fastest FWD' is only that quick because it uses slicks on the track + nos + Honda VTEC + Turbo kit - imo a big waste of time and money. If it didn't use the slicks it would be back in the 11's bracket, where there are plenty of other FWDs. I'd rather do up...

As if you need international recognition to make stacks as an actuary :p Yeh.. well the Audi TT Quattro is AWD Turbo. So it's pretty quick ;) in some colours I can kinda see your point. But in Black or silver I think they look hot, definitely not a girly car! Don't make me get out the pics...

What is an FIAA? Something to do with Actuarial? Nowhere to park!!? I've never failed to get a spot. But the city is usually where everyone meets up first, and then the majority head to the runs. The cars are amazing. If anyone wants to know where it is, PM me, but I thought ppl would be able...

yeh, all of the above (mainly in the city + western Sydney, and a few other areas for the runs) except what is wsid? western sydney international dragstrip? My dream car to own is probably a black Audi TT Quattro at the moment. I'm allowed to drive/run/cruise an Audi TT Quattro, but I wish I...
