neone remember techno man?? like jap cartoon mechognised bodysuits lotsa fighting and shit blowing up??

BAH IT WAS MY IDEAL LONG BEFORE ANY OF U PUPPIES

I DID THIS THIS WITH 2 FAST 2 FURIOUS :P

ps that speed racer looks shieeet!!

Erin I'm pretty sure people have been meeting up and cruising to drive-in's long before Fast and Furious came out :P

I'm watching the trailer now, doesn't really seem that interesting. I can also see quite a few of us nit-picking the movie about faults and things that aren't realistic with the cars :(

Im keen to go... I used to love the cartoon when I was a kid, looks like a good movie :P Its not supposed to be realistic either folks ;P (cars cant fly can they? hrmm)

-D

it was myyyy idea!! lol but gepps cross drive ins is abit bumpy low cars will definately scrape... i went to sus it out in my commy and it still scraped my front bar -,-" no good...

i get my car in there all the time no worries, i swing very wide and come in n out at 45 degrees, my cars like 2mm higher than my wallet (good for keeping money in there and dumped into repairs) at the front bar on flat ground. well say the front is 12mm-14mm off the ground. rest of the car is reasonably high though. also i make sure im last to leave, saves wasting petrol inline and makes sure i got plenty of room when leaving. also ill bring planks or bricks or something if it scares ya

i think my bro gets his in aswell which is lower ill chat to him and make sure he can and do some measurements for ya

it was a cartoon man was it ment to be realistic? i mean they were jumping over cars n such. matrix people made it so there could be 360 cam spins on the drifting ;) also think of it this way the kids there that are getting into cars will see yours there thus boosting your car value in say 10years time :D i know i decided on getting a skyline at around the 12years old mark. also a certain car jump in gone n 60seconds rings a bell. although everything else in that movie was reasonable, except the chopper chase outrunning. airport is more traditional way of losing a choper

and a big cheers to the people that mentioned techno man ive been looking for that cartoon a fair bit on the net but i forgot what it was called. that used to be my fav back in the day.

if you guys wanna organise another night for a diff movie feel free. good luck getting everyone to agree on a movie though :P batman isnt that far away could possibly be playing same night so could have a crack at that 1. i just thought a movie bout cars would be cool worse comes to worse just sit around and talk cars instead of watching it

I'll be on dayshift that week so i could just "chop chop chop chop chop chop" down there, and with a sixer of teds maybe........

Was a great cartoon back in the day, prob one of the best! Somethings telling me the Aristo will be the most comfy seat in the drivein!! Not too mention my electronic heater that doesn't need a car to be running for it to get warm, I can see a line up to come sit in the Aristo..... :)

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
