Just had a rolling start run with a white r32 gts coupe from about 60 on the centenary freeway , he Was giving me the "what the f**k are you driving / waving at ...look"

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.

Dumbaass

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.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
