Welcome Tony.

Typhoon eh? interesting.

Have you done any work to the phoon?

Have you taken it around a circuit? and how did you go.

As I would never void warranty I have not fitted a JB spring/cambre kit and bilsteins. Nor have I changed anything engine wise. I put it on a dyno but the dyno must have been out of calibration as it read 271rwkw.

My best time on QLD Raceway is 1:27 on the national (V8SC) track, Lakeside 1:08 (stopwatch) and Morgan park 1:15 (stopwatch).

Yeh, kissing the ugly chick you picked up at 2am because you were too drunk to call a taxi is almost the same as kissing Jennifer Hawkins......:stick:

I try not to drive in NSW, too many gestapo rejects with a disco fetish. Up here is sunny QLD life is a LOT easier. 10-15km over the limit on the highway is not a hanging offence provided you are not "hoonlike" in appearance.

G'Day Tony ... welcome aboard, great to have a few more Turbo owners. :up2sum:

I have to disagree with you about QLD driving however, whenever I am in Brisbane 10km/h over the limit makes you stick out like a sore thumb because all the QLD nannas drive at 10km/h under the limit !!! At least in Sydney everyone drives too fast. :lol:

As others have said, would be great to see some pics of the phoon.
