The reason that i ask is because back in my younger days that used to be one of my favourite cars at autosalon/motorvation events.

That would be Denver... and yeah... he is still around... from time to time!

Hence why it disappeared so quickly!

Rashaad bought hansens (xspeed) evo 6 (in the days before the sheep jumped ship

) which in mid 07 was making around 630awhp. Sounds alot and i have NFI what dyno's in SA are like but remember 6 years ago he was running a GT35 (with gate, nos, autronic etc) on a MY00 clubspec. Bit of spare cash lying around and anything is possible!

Theres footage of both cars racing a GT2 over there that was interesting to say the least!

Fun times in those days. Kingsway maccas, [MAGNET], not getting raped and hoon lawed when you got caugfht doing 100kms over, [TRUBLSM] and his yellows, top carpark at scabs on a friday night.

Cant forget the oil downs at scabs on sunday arvo's! That made for some exciting sunday arvo laps!

Fun police FTL

Riyaad and Rashaad - theres two names I havnt heard in a while. Crazy fuckers too

Amazing what Ice Cream money can buy!

LOL @ Lendich and his yellows - he didnt care, it was good for the image. He is virtually married spec now.

LOL @ [Magnet], I remember that getting around, so very over rated, got chopped by some mivec converted lancer at the old illegals just off gnangarra road

Top carpark on a sunday FTW, some good times there. Best memory even though its not a WRX thing - bunky gemini rocks up, people laughing at it.. pulls out onto West Coast hwy ... brapppp brappp, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th all wheelspin ... ended up having S6 RX7 running gear with a big single etc. The looks on peoples faces was gold. Better then the old Leach Hwy days too - but there was some classics there. The old owner of Scottys GC8 when it had its Xspeed built motor and GT30 etc. My introduction to him and that car was a 2am off the clock run down the hill past maccas

Its come along way since.

Fun police ftl indeed!

Hardly just ice cream money though, more like peters & brownes spec

Still, i dont know many people worth that amount of money who would work that bloody hard for $14.80 an hour like we did. Lost mpst of our weeknights and a big chunk of our weekends. Woolworths really do treat their staff like crap.

They used to fight (brotherly punch ups) if one of them slacked off. One night rashaad "ran into a freezer door". Crazy but funny

Did hear rumours that MAGNET was slow, but when he left, you knew the cops werent far away!

Couldnt get away with those antics these days but its nice not to be paying $2600p/a in insurance though

MV morning afters...

I remember the first invloved lots of random dribble to do with Quiddich??!! Pizzas, bunny hops....

the 2nd involved a very very hot day coming on, rumors of it being 35C at 7am and listening to Snoops drop it like its hot lounging in a chair thinking....hmmmmm

Then there was my first Cruise, ETD 11:30pm Kings Park. 12 cars. Going sth. I remember trying to keep up with the 'rw on the freeway, roll-ons from 100 : P

Wind effects when a rex blows past you doing 250% of your current speed ! Yeew!

Ahhhhh remember the bug-eye Stock Rd runs on one of the old cruises Pete?

VF22 vs VF30, Link 44S vs Link 44S....136.1kw atw vs 136.2kw atw. It was dead even all the way through the gears

Sethor · #**138** 09-04-2008, 09:02 AM

Talking about dyno figures I still have the DDD03 results.

BALISTC · #**139** 09-04-2008, 09:07 AM

AHAHAHA ohhh I remember that day....boost issues, ended up being my spark blowing out because the spark plugs were f*cked. Still made 136.1kw, and I was crapping myself about pinging my engine on the dyno, so I dumped 10% toluene in the tank

Funny how the most powerful car on the day was Jme's at 164kw atw!! That dyno was an extremely low reading one.
