If any irony, sarcasm, funnies or other hilarities were implied - it was all lost on me. It's actually a good idea :D

Lol I deleted ur post before as per SnyperEB vs. BA's + Everyone else forum guidelines. See forum T+C section 6 part 9 line Fail.

Typhoon valve springs take 340-350atw before giving up. You'd need to do a lot more than a flash tune to get that far.

FTW!! That's what I did with two of my cars, and made money! You can do the same, then buy a real car with a man's gearbox.

QUEENSLAND HAS THE WORST ROADS EVERR.. Seriously.. It was crap. Not just road quality, but lines, cats eyes/other reflectors, signage (condition and amount) was just crappp.. there was not one Police car through all of QLD. Don't even know what your Police cars look like haha. NSW saw 1 Police car, then Vic had 2 or 3 TMU's and 3 camera cars and about 4 or 5 fixed cameras.

As for real man's gearbox, you forget I had a BF XRT and BA F6 with 6M. Variety is the spice of life lol, and a change is as good as a holiday to Rockhampton :lol:

Tuff car thou, impressed as.

Yeah, I remember doing 110-130kph down dirt roads in the west that were better then QLD highways. For eg. Just had a new stretch of road completely torn out and rebuilt between Rocky and Yeppoon.. it is now done, finished, bitumented and shite!! You can see the centre line goes up and down like a toilet seat.. and Mainroads them selves did it.. wtf!! This is a brand new road and I've seen better roads that look like they are 20yr old. It comes down to - Nobody in QLD knows how to build decent bitument roads.

Dont even get me started on the Rockhampton - Mackay highway, 3 and 1/2 hours of deadbeat roads, some of the stretches feel like the bitument is corrugated, Cut springs and sitting on the bumpstops doesnt help fsure but still (not to mention 4 ppl and a full boot and the spareseat was full as well).. Some of the bumps my auto dropped back into 3rd.. and I mean the actual T-bar changed.

of course the roads in qld are going to be shit house compared to vic. all you have to do is look at the population compared to how much road they have to do.

Thats a point but thats only saying the road is there longer before it gets rebuilt, Theres no excuse for not building a road right to begin with, wheres the standard. Problem is.. if its not right, it doesnt last as long therefore creating more work for themselves so they rush to keep up with the work. = A never ending cycle of building crap roads for QLD. Fail.
