I would love to lower my car but then it wouldnt get in my driveway.. and no way im leavin it on the street.

Dont care if my car is rice either, i dont need power.. doesnt interest me. its got enough for me..

Yeh part of autosalon is to see what people think of it, but that said i dont really care either. Im happy with it, thats all that counts to me

I totally agree. In my opinion some people do up there cars from the outside and some do it from the inside. maybe if I won the lottery i might spend the money on performance but untill then im happy just doing all the body bits.

the only thing that was missing was some mean dyno entrants from sau.... sad when ns beat sau in the dyno entries

\

I tried to get on sunday but was told it was booked out.... was gonna try up the boost a little on my 303.5kw run.

i dont think it was the fact that they booked out...............more or less the fact they were running behind.......because they kept allowing certain cars to have re-runs when it was meant to be one go consisting of 3 runs, and thats it.

oh well shite happens i suppose, bit of bs though

Dunno what your talking about, Have you even seen our cars......LOL The only reason i'd come and speak to you about rice is to ask you why? why? why?, But then even that wouldn't happen! :)

what makes a car rice to you guys.... you cant say its my rims we have the same

i really dont understand...

Im in to the body kits, custom paint jobs, rims big audio the lot but if you gana have the look you must have the go to back it up or you will look like a dick. so put a nice big hks to4z or gt35/40 and to me thats a dream car oyaaaaaaaaaa i cream my jocks thinking of that shit

Now that cant be classed as a ricer

Ok....little to no engine mods....throw 6k at a bodykit, bright as paintjob, and a set of rims.....hmm now its a tough as autosalon warrior thats slow as all show no go.

so i should put thousands into making a car stupidly fast and get defected every weekend insted of driving it everyday and enjoying it...makes perfect sence now that i think about it

240rwkw in my last car was enough for me and 7 defects later i want a car that i can drive to work and home but still have fun. i dontr have heaps of cash to have two cars, mod the shit out of one and maintain another. it doesnt work like that.

if you dont like what other people have done to their car why try and make them feel little

i dont want to be 30, living at home and say "at least i had a big turbo''

im 19 and im working on it but i have other priorities other then a car.

You can still have a car that goes fast and looks good, take deluxe for example a comfortable 230rwkw that gets driven everyday cops never hassle him, but how much do you get annoyed by them with your paint job. I drive my car everyday and cops dont look at me. Im not trying to make ppl feel little, i just think it would have been nice to see some more cars with some half decent power (i know matt and hostile were there), or a better mix of mods rather than just a paint job and some rims, i thought autosalon was spose to be the ultimate in modified cars ie they have everything done, engine, paint, kit, rims.

Im not 30 living at home champ, have lived in my own house for the past 4 years, im 22 and have many other priorities other than cars.

Im over this thread anyway just a joke really.

Edited by sinistagtst

just a joke, then why keep replying?,,

I dont really care if my car is called rice, i dont need power.. Its just my daily that i drive to work and back really and have a bit of fun with by putting it into shows.. just for the fun, not for trying to win anything etc, thats just a bonus.

I like having something that stands out though, thus why i bought this car.

Meh call it rice, as long as i like my car, thats all that matters to me, and i do, i love my car. I enjoy driving it, with my stock as a rock engine.

im not snapping? U are happy with ur car.. im happy with mine.. as are the rest of us.. as long as ur happy with YOUR car whys it matter so much?

This threads turning into an ns.com thread.. all they do is nag and whinge. Can never please everyone.

Not gonna keep trying to justify ourselves or our cars, or keep trying to defend them.

I had a great weekend, sau won 3 throphies.

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
