fair enough having the neon wasnt a good idea, but i thought this was meant to be a commuity where people could talk about stuff without getting shot. i mean if you have issues with people having neons i tink you should keep it to yourself in future. advice and information would be more helpful for people that are learning this kind of thing first hand and first time round.

I was thinking about getting some neons but not anymore...Looks like the police and RTA have woken up to the extreme gains that neons can give...I didn't think it would take long.. :blink:

I was gonna get green ones for the 48% extra rear wheel horsepower, light grey ones for the handling (halve your lap time on any circuit) and some bright blue ones so I can run my car on E10 without it pinging (do my bit for the energy crisis)...Was also gonna get some super extreme white ones and hook them up to my flux capacitor and fire it up every time I went past a speed camera so all they see is white flash...(donate my savings in fines to neon research)

I also heard that the neonium fluid that the neons give out reduce the air density in the front of the car and this can take 3 seconds off your 1/4 mile ET...can anyone else confirm this?? I reckon more like 2.8 seconds...

oops sorry dude, I am actually pro-neon...

I believe you should take it to court....You should claim that it was a christmas decoration instead.. :blink:

Tell the magistrate you are sick of people not respecting christmas and you were just trying to instill some christmas cheer into todays modern depressed society...

open and shut case i reckon....

Neons are okay under these conditions:

1) When they spell out the word "Open" in a fish & chip shop window.

2) When they are part of a bad movie about Japanese cars.

I'm sure #1 is ok. Only about 12% sure on #2.

:ermm:

Okay okay, you got me.

Have a look at the VicRoads website linked below - it has all the info you need about the legality of neons (and most other things including BOVs)

I'm sorry that you got a bad reaction from some of the people on the forum, but I know one of the main annoyances on this forum is people whinging about the cops when they have blatently broken the law.

Its very easy to check if neons are legal, and you should have done it before spending the money and putting them on your car...

As for the neons, serves you right for having them in the first place :blink:

I expected a lot more replies suggestion that people who have neons are attracted to the same sex (all hot girls should have half neons :D )

    • You're not the first person that's said that about this car lol. A Touring wagon GT in Spark yellow mica would be the dog's danglies 😆 I will keep an eye out for a future purchase for sure. The seats are almost like the OEM Recaros... electric adjustment for fore/aft and tilt movements except reclining.   
    • Yes!! I love these! It's a shame its not the wagon though!   Thank everything that's holy that it doesn't have the interior of the Aussie delivered ones. Those seats are so much nicer.  
    • I'm both sorry and thankful that you do that. 
    • 2001 BE5D Subaru Legacy B4 RSK (3rd gen) EJ208 (pink injector) Twin Turbo 280PS 5-speed manual Full time 4WD "RSK" grade which means all of the above LQC option which means stock rear spoiler  I got it primarily to export to someone outside Japan who was interested. These BE5 Legacy B4 RSKs are going through a bit of a resurgence right know in Japan as they are one of the few cars from the "turbo, manual, RWD/4WD, 280hp gentleman's agreement era" cars that don't require stupid money to purchase. Which for some people might be a good opportunity to get as a base for restoration. If I can't find anyone to purchase it I will certainly be doing that myself over the long term. Why? Because it's properly fast in stock form, handles well enough for a GT sedan, there's still enough aftermarket and (if you can wait a while) genuine part support to make it a restoration candidate (<-- that will only get worse over time so it's a case of do it now or choose get a BL5 4th Gen). Mechanically it's fine, has only 89,200kms on the odometer. The problem with this car is that the body and exterior trims are weathered from at least the last 10 years being parked outdoors. I'm the 3rd owner, the first owner was the one that had it for 14 years and barely drove it, had a low-speed front impact (which didn't damage anything behind the radiator support) and got it fixed and sold it. The 2nd owner put most of the kms on it and parked it outside for the last 10 years, hence the door rubbers have seen better days but if you overlook those cosmetic details, it presents pretty nicely. There is some minor rust on the LH rear wheel arch which I'll have looked at too at some stage.  Also as you'd expect from a car this age, the clear top coat is gone, leaving a satin finish on the roof.  Mechanically it's fine (as you would expect from a car with less than 100K kms) but the steering does feel slightly vague around the centre position at higher speeds. So first on the list is to get the steering rack bushes looked at. There's also the Lock button on the remote which doesn't work, but the Open button does.... it means that the anti-theft system thinks it's always open? It seems like if you open the car and don't start the engine within 3 mins or so the anti-theft kicks in again without any beeps or signals. So if you got to start it after that, it won't. You have to push the open button again. That's how I understand it anyway. Just a small irritation but not a big problem to sort out. There's only one mod, the Wangan SPL muffler. Just a tad louder than stock. It's a really good mod for those who don't want to wake the neighbours but still want to hear a more prominent unequal length header EJ20 sound. Anyway I hope to get all those things done eventually, that is unless someone wanted to import it to their country from Japan (where I live). I'm open for negotiations as I really would like a Skyline... but this will definitely suffice in the meantime 🙂 *Disclaimer: This is how I picked it up from the dealer, minus the stuff on the back seat. I haven't cleaned the engine bay or done a thorough exterior clean, aside from spray painting the wipers. 
    • Wow, even with the Audi logo centre caps. I love OEM wheel mismatches.
