Great cars, just a pity you guys got the KA24 :)

You've got some damn nice gloves Dupes, I'm jealous!!

Love the Stempniak's. Very nice!

Good looking stick, be interested to hear what it's like.

That pic makes me tired just looking at it! :P

Ahhh cool, thanks

They look awesome mate, nice one. What is Split Sizing?

Those are beautiful Eagles Darkstar, very nice indeed!

Nice setup CTK

Doesn't he just! I noticed that first up too

They're nice mate, simple but classy.

still have 2 pairs of 3 finger wicked light gloves. i loved those damn things. Then i came up on some X72's...all of a sudden the wicked lights didn't mean so much to me anymore lol Same here. I was in love with my mission 3 fingers, until I got my X70's :)

Nice Warriors Dupes

Hey mate, who are you getting the customs made by?

Agree wholeheartedly, those look great.

That's one comfy looking helmet!

I dig the X6, they look pretty tough. But it did take a little while to grow on me.

Yowzers! That's nasty man...

What happened with your face? Butt end?

Nice Leafs stuff you got there. Those Vapors are very nice, I'd love one in a righty.

thanks. what kind of racecar are you towing? i tow my m3 and formula ford with an old GMC V8 pickup that i got for $3000. i never drive that truck other than to/from the racetrack, with a trailer on the back. i'll try to get some pictures of the formula ford 1600 up soon, but i keep it at a warehouse (along with the truck) away from home. the B5 S4 was a great daily driver. if i could do it again (and i might), i'd find one that has never been modified whatsoever, and either leave the drivetrain absolutely stock (except for a samco hose kit), or just go all the way and do a complete OEM RS4 engine/turbo upgrade. mine was chipped and had a number of other go-fast modifications, which made it a true rocket on the highway, but it was a ticking time bomb. turbos were failing, head gasket leaking, rear main seal leaking, etc. that's not speaking badly of the car, though... that was a result of the modifications i did to it, and the amount of time it spent on the track. if properly maintained, and conservatively/smartly modified, it's a perfectly reliable car. the funny thing is my 135i drives like an e46 m3 with a chipped b5 s4 motor. unless you have a particular soft spot for the B5 S4 (twin turbo v6 like i had), i'd suggest looking at a B6 S4 (made from 2004-2005.5). it's a naturally aspirated V8, and only slightly more expensive than a B5. you'd likely have less maintenance on one of those, and it would definitely make a better tow vehicle. (this is all assuming you're towing something rather light). Thanks for that mate. My load is pretty light (for a car) at around 1500kg's including trailer, and it's a 180SX (240SX over there). I want to try to avoid having a dedicated tow car as I live in an apartment and it's enough issue trying to get room to store the car and the trailer let alone a third car, but I am considering it as it would open up my daily driver options immensley. I currently keep them in a warehouse, but we may be changing premises soon, which would equal me hiring out storage which could be an issue. The reliability of the B5 S4 is what scares me the most. I used to have a B5 QT which was nice, but I didn't have it long enough to experience issues with it. I don't really want to be forking out massive maintenance as I prefer to spend my spare cash to race with (or spend on hockey :P ). The B6 S4 is the other option I'm thinking of, just need to do some research into it's towing capacity. I think I'd prefer a B5, but the B6 is probably the smarter option... if it can tow that is.

Nice selection buddy! Can I ask how you found the S4? I used to have an A4 QT and found it a beautiful car, but very boring. I need somehting to tow my race car with and be my daily and the S4 fits the bill. How was reliability? I've heard they have a few issues...

Your point is very low! :P Just jokes, nice shot :)

They're nice Malcolm, wouldn't mind giving one of them a go.
