How silly can you be...that's just degrading...there is a guy around my area driving around in a lancer with a evo 7 bodykit...but has a nismo sticker on the back window and the old school 80's style nismo sticker on the door...go figure

What? You've never seen the Mitsusan Nismart Evo-R??

Spotted this Volvo in a Maccas drive thru the other week; gave him a toot & told him to get out of the way... Also saw this sweet NM35 while I was driving up a hill a couple of days ago.

hrmm i was thinkin about personalised plates.... 70LVO.... :D

a lil bit off topic but the other day i went to pick up my mate from cairns central (local shopping centre and deadshit hangout) and as i was slowly creeping past the main entrance heard some young fella's go " WHAT IS IT????" i laughed a bit did a blockie, then came back to try n find my mate, this time one of them goes "Oh but those mags suit it so well man" kinda put a smile on my face haha.

also went up to the tablelands last weekend (hillbilly country) and coming out of a store this family walks by and the lil kid only about 8 or 9 goes " oh yeah i like that car, its nice mum, yeh looks really good, dont know about the colour but yeah it definetly looks nice"

the dad sort of looks at it trying to work out wat the hell it is hahahaha

got my own story now.

Parking in Argyle st in the city I had problems getting any of the meters to accept a credit card. Rang and told them about the fault. That sort of covers in case I get a ticket but then they say that when the technician comes and checks the machine, if he finds it works the I will not get off any parking ticket issued.

I then spot a Parking Officer giving a ticket and figure I need to make sure I don't get a ticket. I ask him to watch whilst I try and pay by CC, FAIL again and he goes OK, no problem I will not give you a ticket, you have 2 hours of parking as per the sign post. He then say's which is your car...... I say, The silver wagon second from the end of the line of cars.

What does he say............you guessed right........YOU MEAN THE VOLVO! arrrrrggggghhhhh. LOL

I was safe until....

I went to XCM (Xclusive - Colours - Modifications), he thought it was very much a volvo shape.

My only comment was "it goes far better than a volvo".

Top bloke, great price to repray a few panels, courtesy of a key job on sunday :P

P.S. He constantly brings stuff back over from Japan via a wrecker's etc. If you need bodykits and the likes don't hesitate to ask him to give it a shot. He said he doesn't mark anything up so if he pays $200 for it that is what you pay him, I can't vouch for it yet but he is going to get his contact to keep an eye out of an Aero kit for me (old one pretty scratched at front and beaten up all round).

      Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
