Ferni - yep, plates still on an F360. I know him.

BTW - Snows and I saw a new Euro plate V MB 666 on an SLK 55. Cool plate, cool car. Also, a customer has 25 on his SL 55 - cooler plate, cooler car.

See... they are not all bad.

V Merc Benz Devil ? :)

number "1" is going up for auction, or has just recently gone, not sure... that will be MASSIVE $$$$$$

yep 8 is lucky (chinese)

4 =death

2 =easy

and there's others, don't know... 6 i think is a good number.

my dad has V-TC 888, euro plate so the V is a given, tc initials and of course 8. Surprisingly this is on a BMW :whistling:

EDIT: would SASR-34 be stupid? fascinated by the SAS (Aussie is referred to as the SAS Regiment) and the number is self explanitory

the family of one of my closest friends has '8' and '88'. they don't put the plates on their cars anymore cos of the constant attention/questions/jealousy that is thrown at them when driving around. kinda sad really.

"6" sounds like "roads"

"1" sounds like "definitely"

"8" sounds like "make money"

"2" sounds like "easy"

so chinese like the combination of 168 so all roads lead to money

Hence why the Alfa 164 ('all roads lead to death') never sold well in Asian markets :)

Funny you mentioned that. In Malaysia, Singapore a number of Asian countries renamed the Alfa 164 to the 168. My uncle bought one. It still sucked :rofl:

^^ not complaining, just something i've noticed...

my mate has BM - 869 on his bmw. we have no idea what its supposed to mean they were on the car when he got it off a dealer.

would that have an asian meaning too?

Theres an m3 that lives near me which has the plates

M3 GTR

$500 a year just for the plates

Not to mention its not even a GTR its a plain old M3..

Loser!

      Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though

      and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.

      Oh, you are right. But, in Australia E10 is based on 91RON fuel and ends up being 94RON. Hence it being the cheaper option for economy cars. The more performance oriented cars go for the 98RON fuel that has no ethanol mixed in. The only step up we have left then at some petrol stations is E85.

      There is a warning that "this thread is super old" but they ignore that anyway...

      With 10% Ethanol, we're talking 2-3% fuel consumption difference. The emissions reductions and octane boost in my opinion far outweigh this almost non existent loss.    My tanks sitting at 80%. Luckily that should go down fast as I'm on vacation again for the next two weeks.
