but his laggy manual wasnt hitting boost quick enough, torque converter had him!

got my first funny moment the other night.. driving through campbelltown on the way to the gf's.. pulled up next to a commo v6 who kept edging at the lights.. let him go for a sec then tromped all over it.. 3 guys expressions when they caught up.. priceless!

Nothing will ever beat the look on my mates face when I overtook him sideways on the outside lane of a roundabout.. He didn't believe me Stags could kick the rear out.

Standard 16s FTW, won't do it now on my T1Rs. Time for more power..

I seem to be getting alot more Subaru comments lately rather than Volvo ones.

Dude got offended the other day when i told him it's a Nissan.

He reckons its a Subura body with nissan badges and driveline.

I get a lot of Subaru comments as well. How dare he claim its a Subaru body? He must have some brain issues that reduce his ability to see shapes properly.

Pretty much for me comments are ranked as follows:

1: Nice Volvo

2: What model Subaru is that?

3: Looks like a Hearse

4: What the f**k is that? (from older people particularly while they stare blankly at the double headed unicorn...)

5: Is that some kind of Falcon or Commodore?

My wife told me a great Volvo story.

Today she was out in the M35 and stopped at a car yard to look at a small car for my daughter who just got her learner's permit.

One of the salesman looks out to the street and says "Yeah, you don't want her driving your nice Volvo".

"It's not a Volvo" my wife says, followed by some puzzled looks on the salesmen's faces.

Then after a very long time one says, "Is that one of them imported Skyline jobs.....?" To which the other one says, "But it's a wagon...?"

I love it! :)

I'm a bit sad today I was told my car was fake!!!!what dose that mean?????he said they never made a skyline wagon?????so much for my autech 260rs.

Classic! :)

Should be able to get out of paying speeding/parking tickets, due to your car not being real...

Question is; if it isn't a car, WTF is it?

my mate attempted to do a brake burnout in my stagea the other night .. i wasnt impressed. however it did have the power to start spining the rear quite easily sporting 245's ..but again wasnt impressed on my brand new 2.2k of tyres.. last time hes driving it :)

Wot if u got an R30? Can I still play???

Lol, I don't mind... :D

Worked with a guy who looked at my old S3 r31 wagon, says "Oh cool, you've got one of those 6 cylinder Pintaras" yeah...

original Lolvo... by PMC or Prince Motor Company. My old man stumbled on a original handbook for one of these - fleabay'd it, it got over $120AUD!

Someone still has one.... somewhere in Japan!

Bit of history for you kids :P

Haha, I had a bit of a chat to the owners of 2 of them while at the "Cars of the World" show a back on November '08.

    • 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.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
