this thread is soooo funny, everyone just keeps payin each other out, its stupid, who cares if someone has a sr,rb,2j whatever, aslong as the car aint airbrushed top-bottom with "kustom" paint designs, has a bodykit that hangs to the car within and inch of falling off, has 13" deep dish shiny chrome rims, a MASSIVE aeroplane wing on the boot lid, stickers on everyinch of the car or holes cut in the bonnet so the pod can stick out of it, an exhaust made from a bean can etc etc who cares what engine is in it? u no?

btw these are all things ive seen on some dodgy ass cars, and thats only in aus, dnt get me started on Ireland lol.

but i have to say by far the worst car ive ever, ever, ever seen sits down the road from us in nsw. A laser(or something similairly sh*t) owned by a GUY with myspace url's and hotmail addresses plastered ALL over the windows and "TWEED CREW" or sum slogan like that written in permanant marker all over the paint- GHEY.

PICS COMING SOON LOL

And now you drive the new hyundai excel. WTF Happenned? :w00t:

hi sally..

wait its darren..

I passed an old pulstart of the ET variety a month back up near Gladstone,

it was a poor sad looking little car..

the owner had dressed it up in youtube links and mypage links. there was writing all over it.

as i passed it, i noticed one of the links took nearly the whole width of the rear hatch..

so i was left thinking, who is gonna follow this stupid car for long enough to write down all the guff so they can go home and plug it into their puta..?

But I have to admit, it gave me a 15min session of laughin! I wonder what would happen if he owned a bus?

try this one on for size

a rover 3.5 litre v8 with a supercharger on top, transaxle auto box modded to change only when manually told to do so, bolted into the back of a roll caged, custom suspension, lengthened wheel base, wide body, on formula ford race tyres, suzuki mighty boy ute

does 10s on the strip if it was allowed,

wins its class in street sprints and hill climbs

currently goiing through a life changing experience but not finished yet,

What the?

what happened to you as a child..?

rover and supercharger SHOULD NOT be used in the same book, let alone sentence! lol.

how is it working out for ya? if nothing else.. it should really go. poor little mighty boy! What did it do to u?

My father in law has one for a parts getter for his workshop.. he has asked me a few times about giving it a going over..

i never considered a rover! i did think about an R1 engine though! ha ha..

...years ago, i met a guy on fraser island with a lada neva with a chev(i think, he was real cagey about it) V6 in it. I thought that was nuts! engine was worth at least 20 times the vehicle! But it did make 4 wheel roosts.

Its So Wrong But I Want One So Bad. :)

LMAO How much fun would that be :D

lets see, just today on the sunny coast have seen:

1 blue silvia getting around with a front/rear bar and sideskirts in primer.

1 black 2002 magna with a GT wing

1 magna with strips of white-out over the lense for that striped brake light effect.

That was a crazy concpt car.. not a very good on either!

I didn't see this, but was told by a very animated Gas mechanic:

A toyota side mount supercharger on an EA falcon which was on LPG! He said it poped and farted at idle, didn't make any power above 3500 and chewed (in his opinion) about 20% to much gas.. and of course it was a slush box. The car was in for a tune up and he wanted to fit a very large FMIC. The owner 'loved' the 'racecar' sound! aaaaarrggghhh hahhhahahaha..

The mechanic rang me to see if i had some parts lying around we could sell him!! I said that was just a little to cruel.

but then again..?

Here is pics of that 20B powered Kombi, it was at jamboree aswell a few years back didnt see it last year though. or might have been minijam, im not sure but it was there. launches hard, but still has bus steering wheel on it lol so look hard to drive.

hmm.. grab ya flower loving uncles old dak dak of yester-year that is dieing not so gracefully in the back yard.. repaint it and..

I got an idea.. I'll stuff the 13B turbo engine outta my older brothers RX7 that he wrote off last year, into the old dak dak.

now thats a great idea...?

HAHAHAHAHAHA

I detect a flat capper with undies half way up his back and shorts down near his knees. Fully sic hectic bro.

As to the difference between them, that one fat passenger is more than offset by the gutless nature of the 32 crowning glory. RB20 FTL. :D

I have a flat brim hat too Noel, but im cool as I wear girly pants.

    • 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).
