I don't think anyone is attacking it, I know I certainly am not.. we're just talking about it. I think it looks great, but where I'm from it would last about 3 hours on the road before it's defected.

Or last 3 hours without ripping the front bar off on a spoon drain!

I dunno how you're going to manage with another 30mm drop but I cant wait to see how it looks worship.gif

Your car needs MOAR LOW that's for sure!

I didn't think anyone was attacking it... I just find it funny the difference in culture. Here I get nothing but comments saying I need to go lower lol. I've ripped the bumper off once(broke side bolts), reversing out of work car park over those stupid car park stoppers, parked too far forward.

30mm lower won't be too bad, I can get over all speed bumps, it's only my driveway I struggle... My neighbour who's acop has fits of laughter whenever he sees me come out of it lol

Hence the reason i'm going for a cert... It's getting certed at the height pictured, but afterwards you can go 5% lower or higher without getting pink stickered (defected). Here if you have a cert, cops can't touch you(most of the time)

Lucky bugger, they mean nothing in SA. Cops just defect you and say "I don't know if it's legal or not, so we'll let the inspectors find out".

Have to always keep the stock parts here and just swap them in/out as required.

that's a bit of a pain!

In saying that, certs can be a hassle here... Say if you get coilovers one month, you need a cert... At the same time they cert your coilovers, they record what wheels you went for the cert on and it's put ont oyour cert plate(without your say!) So you cant change wheels, unless you wana pay $500 and go for another cert... Same with steering wheels, if you went for a cert with an aftermarket steering wheel, then convered back to stock, you can get defected.... Fail!

Back to stock seems pretty retarded although I can understand it when one mod requires another mod if that makes sense.

I know, doesn't make sense to me... I find it stupid that before you get a cert, you can change wheels every day, yet once you're certed for 18x9s, 18x8 or 18x8.5 become unsafe!

my new stagea i picked up a couple of weeks ago

Welcome Michael :action-smiley-069: . Did you just polish it? Looks really shiny in that pic.

that was the pic the previous seller used when he was selling the car

Simons14's old stag in Adelaide? :-)

yea i brought it off him a few weeks ago now :D

saw this fs. imo very clean car

yea unfortunately pictures do make it look better then it is, few paint fade spots, and rust under the mirrors. but ill hopefully get the rust fixed and a full respray with in the next few month, possibly try and find a new front bar. thinking of a dayz front to accommodate a possible front mount.

Weird... looked fine to me, but I didn't go over it with a fine tooth comb.

Rust seems to be fairly common on C34s. Good luck with it, hope to see it around!

    • Chrome surrounds back on and polished up, no idea why some knob would prime a single piece 🙄
    • Well, in the same way that you can't tell any SUV from any manufacturer in any size category from any other one, "sports" coupes now all look identical. Stand back and squint your eyes and the Supra and the 400Z and the GR/BRZ things all look the same. I was just thinking last night, when sitting behind a Subaru CrossTrek, that I have no idea what it is, how it differs from an XV, or a Forester, or an Outback, or anything else Subaru offer, and I couldn't tell if it was supposed to be small, medium or large. I contrasted that to the good old days, where a HQ Kingswood had familial similarities to an LJ Torana, but there is no way that you could confuse them, and how a bit later, the HX Kinger and the concurrent Torana and the Gemini all had familial similarities, but you still could not confuse them. Ditto the ugly Fords and Chryslers of the era. But now, a RAV4 looks like a Kluger, looks like a Yaris/Cross/whatever they're calling those stupid f**king things, looks like every other Toyota that's not a Camry/Corolla sedan.
    • The Prelude doesn't look that bad without all that lens distortion in those pics. Makes it look disproportionate when it isn't. Actually I kind of liked it at the Osaka Auto Messe earlier this year. 
    • Pour in the highest octane, non-ethanol fuel you can get and see if the readout changes. If it's dead bang on 11% then I would question the sensor. Another quick test, just take it out and run normal (in an american accent) gas-o-line through it and see if the sampled ethanol or lack of changes.   United E85 here in the land of drop bears does vary a bit, I've had as high as E87 (could be water in their tanks too, who knows)
    • Yep. And if you ever do, you'll just have to deal with it then.
