yeah.. that sure is a great pic!

what is it with excels anyhow? My mate used to live on a corner where 1 would cruise past really slowly (i think to check out the import cars parked there!) and it had such a horrid drone that when the auto changed into second it would wake up their baby!

Now, we all drive import cars with 3 inch exhausts.. we dont wake the kid up!

Man it was just plain nasty. She rang the cops one saturday after they did about 7 laps past!

I havn't seen that car anywhere in town since!

At Super Sunday, Parklands on the Gold Coast,.... a P-plater with a stock civic sedan (correction; I think he had Altezza-style lights) with air-bag suspension boucing up and down in front of the crowds as though he was driving a '64 Impala down Crenshaw Boulavarde in South Central LA. Only thing was, this Civic was banged up, panel damage, paint and duco missing, with bumpers hanging off on one side.

Each time he flicked the switches, it was like a bunny-hopping scrap heap,.... mind you, the P-plater and his passenger no doubt thought they were uber-cool.

Oh, and he ended up breaking something from all that show-boating.

Hyundai Excel with dual cannon exhaust, one on each side of it's arse. Angle mounted pointing up and out. Plates "55 ETA" I hope for the love of god thats not supposed to be SS Eater. It was driven by sumone from my work so i shall find out who and give them a bit of shit :D

Saw this thing on the way to work this morning

The guy was driving it like an F1 car.

No wonder it was so mashed up..

And the police wounder why i question them pulling me over, when this POS is on the road.

the fact you're doing 180+ up the highway wouldn't have anything to do with it ?

More so why my ride heights are anything from 10mm to 50mm, why I lack cats, any form of mufflers, and why i have not mod plated roll cages in most case's.

With a sticker like that, a roll cage that's nice and obvious, and stripped out,... no wonder cops pull you over.

That sticker is definatley going to grab attention. :D

That's not your daily is it ? lol.

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I highly rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
