Yup, even on the other side of the world, i'm getting some serious static zaps. Some of them really hurt

Could you ship them to Australia? Would they be painted? If so, I'll have: Front bar Front guards Bonnet Rear Hatch Rear bar Mirrors Door trims Console If i could get all this stuff, i'd strip the interior of my car down to bare metal. Soo much weight to rid!

If you lower the car first, you might find your new wheels scrub on the guards, leaving you with a "scrubber". Best to look for wheels first, then suspension. You'll need to work out rolling diameters first to keep your speedometer reading correctly, and make sure the wheels wont scrub...

Over here in Oz, the best we've got is 98RON. We need 100RON to run a lot of Japanese imports (like GT-R Skylines, Supras, RX-7s). To get around this, many people (illegally) run C16 (116RON) or Avgas, while highly-tuned V8s normally run C16 or methanol since running avgas on the street attracts a...

Sell yours to her, then sell your soul to the devil and buy a Mazdaspeed RX-8

I prefer Christina Agulera (??!!) shakin' what the plastic surgeon gave her....

Heyall my name's Iain and I like my SP20 (P5 in Oz) but i'd love it if Mazda gave it more f&*(king power!

You're going to be rather dissapointed when you watch the R34 get the sh&* kicked out of it by a 996 911 Turbo. Seen it happen and even the NA GT3 just pulverises the TT Nissan. V8 R35 won't be able to touch it either...

Oh to go tap, tap, tappin' that ass.... Cars weren't bad either... Yellow fever! I take it they were in a tuner magazine over there? What's been done to them?

Remember that extra power is offset by more weight... I don't care if it DOES have a 2.3L, the extra size puts me off. How's it going to be able to handle like the current model? It certainly won't be able to change directions as quick...

NOROTOR, NO13B??? WHOOSH, SLEEPA, YULOOZ (you'll lose)...

Cons? Previous cars being V8s and with my job being to sample some of the finest hi-po cars from round the globe, the SP20 (pro5) leaves me flat in speed terms.... The paint and ride height are other gripes... Pros? The individuality, quality, interior (love it!), aesthetics, chassis dynamics...

Doing top speed runs in the parts of western New South Wales (where Mad Max 2 / Road Warrior was filmed) we saw 313km.h in a de-restricted AMG, that works out to be about 200mph or near-as damnit! Also saw 270km/h out of a $40k 300hp family car we've got over here called the Holden Commodore...

I wanna go to Hawaii, yay! Hawaii! :p Seriously, it's good to hear you got out ok. To be old and wise first you must be young and foolish...

We got ALL Celica GT-Fours. ST165-ST180. Guy up the road has a mint condition one that has 350kW @ wheels. It's got wild cams and is nuts to drive in the wet... (plus he's on a dirt road)

Oops. Minidisc and tape are an option in Oz... My bad, sorry! We get rear-screen wiper, fog lights, climate air-con, power windows all round, 16-inch alloys, ABS and EBD all standard. How many kW do your cars make on 100RON fuel? Our max octane fuel (in most service stations) is 98RON and...

Ok, in Australia we call it the Pro5 the SP20 and before i post pics of my SP, I wanted to find out about what's different on the interior... What's the standard and optional features on your cars? eg: cruise control, climate-control air con, MP3-player, sunroof, etc??? I've seen some people...

Erm, anybody scanned a pic of it (even a small one from the contents?) cause we don't get that mag (or many good US ones) out here in Australia. The only American stuff we get is C&D, Road & Track and ones that are chock full of god-awful MoPars and Mustangs. Not even any Hot Rod or Customs...

Jellyfish are only in parts of the country (far north Queensland, near the Great Barrier Reef) Although there are large Great White Sharks (you know, same type as Jaws) in "The Great Australian Bite" in South Australia (it's actually called the Bite cuz it looks like someone's bitten off a...

Erm, i didn't get the dumb broad reference Iconoclast... As for fitting in in Oz Midnightracer, it's easy: don't take anything too seriously and be prepared to see some seriously tough cars (also known out here as unroadworthy), hot women and full-strength beer (5.0%? Nah, gimme a 12% brew!)...
