I agree with you too.... camry drivers are by far the worst... taxis are up there too.

Camry and Magna drivers are the new Volvos! :(

as for taxis...yeah usually too pissed to care...but i don't think I've ever got in one that doesn't have a strange noise coming from somewhere :P

And I agree with Jay95R33...we get defects for gauges - but they can have those things sitting on the dash...and what's worse is they drive along pushing the buttons and stuff....surely that's just as distracting as talking on your mobile (which you get a fine for!).

Hehe, I saw a taxi on fire this morning in Sydney CBD :rolleyes: Well, by the time I saw it there was just a HUGE plume of smoke coming out and fire extinguisher foam all over the ground. People were giving him a WIDE berth, let me tell you!

I never really thought about Camry drivers being ones to look out for... that was until about 10mins ago.

Some nut in a Sportivo overtook me doing about 120 in a 50 zone... i thought.... yeah right mate!

Then I saw him on the freeway doing at least 130 in an 80 zone, tail-gating that even made me squirm, overtaking cars via side streets, red lights and had to be the biggest ****bag I've ever seen on the road. And to top it off, after his antics, I still went passed him doing 80!!!

For those of you who might be on the Geelong - Melbourne freeway, lookout for a champagne coloured Sportivo with a really cool "BUGGER" sticker on the back, number plates SIG-599.

He's got to be the biggest wanker I've ever seen! Make sure you give him plenty of room - cause he can't drive!

Shell, you got it in one. When toyota started marketing camries (the collective noun?) aggressively, the second hand market for volvos became flooded and died, this was about 1992. Why? because every (old) man and his dog (jack russel) traded their old 240GL in on a new camry.......and so on, until 240 and 740 series volvo values were dead, and all the fogies were in camry's..

cheers,

floody

    • Go to SP mufflers and get the muffler of size you want and make a nice mid muffler. It's about that simple! I have 2x 3.5 Magnaflow straight through Mufflers and while it's pretty loud with the Varex open, it's quiet enough with the Varex closed. You can also buy off the shelf Magnaflow straight through mufflers as well. You also have a turbo to quiet the car down too. Don't overthink it. Buy my extra Magnaflow muffler sitting on a shelf doing nothing (buy it new, ignore this part)
    • Centre-offset muffler under the floor, same as stock. Just....3.5". The change from straight pipe there to centre-offset will mean that you need to remake some of the pipe (add a bend or two).
    • Hey guys. So my R34 GTT has a custom 3.5” exhaust (done by previous owner) with a high flowing cat, and then just a Varex cannon muffler on the back. The car does drone alot and is really loud even on highway driving just cruising, as you can imagine due to the Varex muffler basically being a straight through with the valve open. As much as i love a loud RB, it can be a bit much with no other muffling in line and just driving casually. I wanted to lower the volume output on the exhaust a bit, as well as remove the drone (probably a way to do both at once), and was going to do it all myself as I am a fabricator and have done exhaust work in the past, so the fab work isnt my issue, im just not sure on the right product or type of product to use to get the job done, and i doubt an exhaust shop would be wanting to help me as they wont be making any money from helping me, unless they supplied the product? Anyway any help or guidance in best way to approach this would be awesome   Thanks in advance
    • Meh, whilst the Honda is a "really" good car and has potential if you want to drop coin on, it was uninspiring for me to look at, but, it did serve its purpose and is now in the boys hands, his happy, his girl is happy, as she wasn't to keen on the noisy old Patrol, and most importantly, the Minister for War and Finances is extremely happy that her "little baby boy" (6'2 nugget who is currently training to be a copper, which will make 3 coppers in the immediate "circle of trust") has a well sorted reliable car that doesn't guzzle diesel Me, I'm more than happy with the NC MX5 that I replaced it with, it's a fun little car that I like looking at, like driving, and yes..... I do like the fact that the maintenance and modifications that I have done/will do are plentiful and relatively cheap, well........ while staying naturally aspirated slow that is, and that's all I really need for a fun little daily, I can rev the 5hit out of it rowing through the gears and never really break the speed limit  In saying that wicked word, "modifications", I've already ordered something for some noise and an additional "3 ish" horse powers, or whatever it gives, in the form of a header, and, a new set of "cheapo" BC coilovers that are already sitting in the shed waiting to get put in, I had the same BC's in my old NB and found they were fine for the street, hwy, and the occasional track days I did in it, they have 6kg front and 4kg rear springs which is about 10% stiffer than the stock springs which I found worked well for their price  I've also already been in touch with MX5 Mania in Dural, so once the header is on it will get a ECUTek RaceROM tune there (I cannot rev match for 5hit, and I loved the RaceROM rev match and FFS in my old 86 "RIP") In other, maintenance news, I put some new sparkler plugs in it, and have a new set of DBA Street series pads to put in over the next day or so, I'm running the DBA street series in the SS and Honda and really like them, they work great and are not dusty at all I've also booked in a few days leave over this weekend to give me 4 days weekend do some paint correction and give the leather seats some conditioning and interior some Bissell and steam cleaning OCD lovin', the carpet and interior looks clean, but from my experience with the Bissell IRT carpet, and the steam cleaner IRT trim, looks can be deceiving I've also found that finding a detachable hard top is proving problematic, the main reason why I didn't like the NC initially was the power retractable hard top that I seen them with gave the roof line a weird look, the detachable roof though looks good, and is a same shape as a NA/NB hard top, similar, but unfortunately not the same as it has different fixture point on the front, so fitting a easy to get NA/NB detachable hard top is no bueno New Old cars are fun, cleaning, hunting and playing around brings much joy How are your beasties going? Do you still have the Skyline with the LS???, or Barra??? that you were playing with
