What car do you drive? - Raging - 23-03-2009
Just interested to know what type of cars other busa riders are driving, just to sort of see if what people ride reflect in what people drive, eg need 4 speed etc etc...
Me? At the moment I have a 2008 FG XR6 Turbo and a 2006 Mitsubishi GLX-R Triton.
In the last 5 years I've had:
2007 BF II FPV Typhoon
2006 RV Cruiser Ute
2004 BA XR8 (modded to 330kw)
1983 XE Falcon (351 Clevo, toy car)
1988 XF Falcon ute (work ute)
Think there is another one but I can't remember
Had another 6 or 7 cars before that, not really worth mentioning though, some were good, some not so good, good memories in them all though..(especially my first car, 1972 HQ station wagon...VERY good memories!)

Mate, I've got a BF XR8 2006 Ute. Added extractors. hi flo cats, 2.5" exhaust, K&N, custom tune, advanti medusa rims and getting just over 330kw. Feels slow when u get off the bike and then go for a drive..haha
RE: What car do you drive? - humbussa - 23-03-2009
I drive a 2003 WRX with 3" mandrel exhaust, Turbo smart blow off valve, Sti body kit, short shifter...but as stated feels a little slow after the Busa but i'd put money on the wrx through corners over the bike....nearly as much fun to, my daily driver is a nissan X-trail great car in stock form to flog all day long.
when i was younger had a lot of Gemini's with Turbo's all the bling and a few Gti suzuki's..

Supercharged Mini Cooper S with hi flow sports air filter, pully reduction kit on the charger and lots of other goodies.
Outstanding in the twisties and not real slow on the straights.
Still no comparison to the busa of course for grunt.

RE: What car do you drive? - Raging - 23-03-2009
Nice choices...I was gonna get a mini cooper s for the better half to drive, or a VW GTi Golf, the twin-charged one...but decided against it while we are still out in the sticks a bit.
Both my cars are leased now, so it removes the temptation to mod, as over the years I have spent soooo much coin on exhausts, air intakes, other performance mods, stereo's, mags and tyres....next time I mod a car I want one I plan to keep.
Thinking about selling my 2 cars and getting a new Land Rover Discovery 3 though...

RE: What car do you drive? - Raging - 23-03-2009
You have these or had them?! Must have a big yard lol...
I had 2 VL's. First one was written off when a truck pulled out in front of me and I hit him side on. That hurt.
Second one was written off in a head-on with a semi up near Charters Towers, he liked my side of the road better apparently. That one REALLY hurt. No more VL's for me, though I love the Nissan RB30 donk in them, damn near indestructable

RE: What car do you drive? - spares - 24-03-2009
Gidday, haven't piped up before and was waiting for the opportune time and this is it. I drive a nissan patrol with a 3" lift kit and ride the Busa. The 4by because I like to go any where I want to, and the Busa because I want to get other places fast.
