luke gtr

Whoretownin' at its finest? Hmm. I honestly doubt that.

Bumping an old thread for others with similar questions. Daily an X MR is very nice. Sat nav, heated seats, cruise control, auto lights and wipers, proximity start and entry, there's a LOT to like. Are they as fun as the older models? Not sure, never had the chance to drive an older gen. But, I've now got a second X which I'm not dailying purely to keep the kms down. Keep in mind, I had a 32 gtr with a china gt42 and a has dog box that I used as a daily, so it all comes down to how comfortable you want to be.....

Took her for a decent drive. Still under the 80k mark, but not sure for how much longer.

My new daily; 2012 audi a6 - adjusted sat nav voice level - adjusted bass and treble levels - adjusted side and back bolster settings - adjusted night vision camera contrast -drove it

Not completely. And, being here for 1 night has reminded me just how much more I prefer this platform.

Post a pic from your phone. Phones only. If possible, add make/model. I believe it's more about the person using the gear, than the gear itself. (Don't use my pics as an example to that). But, they're just so convenient now. So, post up whatever you want. Cheers.

Welcome. More pics please.......

Welcome! With that user name, I'm guessing you like chryslers as well? We don't discriminate here, and generally love all things cars, so post some pics if you get a chance.

Firstly, welcome. Second, if you have any further problems, shoot me a message and I will pass it along to some if the execs. Will be trying to spend a little more time on here.

Ad to this, jindabyne to Khancoban. Drove it today, 222km return trip of decent, twisty roads.

Yep, they basically have a double thickness star point. I swear they purely make different fasteners so they can sell more tools.

Unlikely to happen, but I miss SAU nationals. Either way, I miss what this place used to be. Have literally made life long friends.

Nice mate. Hopefully I will get mine e running o e day. Not sure if I should try and push for this year. 2020 hasn't been great, and I don't want to jinx the car.

it USED to be cheaper, but the market dropped out of it, and they realised performance peeps would still pay for it. Now Caltex doesnt sell E flex, makes even more sense, as they have a monopoly on the market.

down south FTMFW!

welcome. that tyre difference isnt that significant, so would wait until they are worn out and require replacement anyway. the silver looks nice on it. any plans for mods? or leaving standard?

welcome. im sure no matter what you do, your brother would appreciate it. as above, black isnt just hard to get right, its also hard to maintain. red could be cool, or just leave it white with red and black accents throughout. not sure about Vic, but in NSW, its much easier to get a standard car passed than any mods. just take it slow and see if your feelings change.

welcome. all depends on the car. do you live in Aus looking to import just a car? or, are you moving from NZ and bringing a personal car with you? all comes down to sale price, plus shipping costs, plus registration costs and possibly duties/taxes.

welcome. head studs are a good idea. may or may not require head gasket. what are your goals/aims for the car? what do you enjoy doing with it? this will determine which route you should head down.

he said a Ti, could be a Tida? also, welcome.

It's only a road trip away

Welcome. Plenty of info here, and many joining from the states. Post some pics in this thread when you get a chance.

Was thinking like this..... I like the look. But, have never owned one.

Welcome! Plenty of info in these hallowed halls. And we definitely appreciate the pics(everyone loves pics)

Another option(if you like them) will be the Forrester GT. They look pretty good with a nice set of wheels and lowered a little. I haven't had too much to do with the subies, but have heard their gearboxes are a weak point if you go a solid centre clutch. Good luck with the hunt!
