agreed...not taht i have that issue with meets....just everywhere i drive for no reason at all...i swear my car has a Police GPS tracker in it.....

whereas...i drove my old Beetle home the other day. i forgot how overly loud that thing is (104db at idle)......and yet it go no attention from the cops. and twas my daily driver for about 7 yrs.

I was arguing this over in the wasteland. The police don't really have much choice. For every sensible driver with a legally modded import there are 10 douchebags driving like idiots in unsafe an illegaly modded cars. There are no doubt more shitbox falcadores and econoboxes but they don't stand out. Cars that stand out + large majority being driven poorly/illegally modded = police attention. Not much we can do about it :(

yup thats the main problem.

and i guess the beauty of old cars is that most cops dont know what theyre looking for or at...so they just let it go.

to a point. once they mark a car you are pretty much screwed. the subaru attracts no attention but at the same point I am not looking to attract it either.

part of the reason I now stay away from the JDM meets out at QR. those are going to end in tears for a lot of people if they get any bigger.

this

that is true.

and the only place i ever got in trouble in the bug was playing silly buggers up the main police patrolled drag up here on a thursday night.....so it was bound to happen and i was young and stupid

by old car i mean pre '80's btw. most interpretations of old car is a early to mid '90's como :)

very true. but compared to what i know as old cars. even an R32 is quite refined

this

my 74 bug and my 89 skyline seem like they're from different centuries in some ways. And 20 years old is NOT OLD.

And that was $60,000 in the early 1990's for some of those cars, probably worth a hell of a lot now (inflation an all that.)

You just have to look at some of the features on the cars to see how ahead of the curve they were. Digital dashes, in car Nav/DVD/TV, HUD's, Automatic climate controll and so on. Then there is the mechanical side of it as well, look at how quick the 33 GT-R was around the ring.

    • How would you even adjust the clutch if the pedal already has the correct free play? The operating cylinder has no adjustment in mounting position or rod length. On pull style clutches there is also no ability to adjust the bearing carrier. Push type I can see how adjusting the carrier height makes it all work.   If this is the twin plate clutch did you verify that your friction disks were oriented correctly? It's not mentioned in the directions at all you just have to notice that one side the friction disks have a part number on the hub fingers and a subtle coning to those fingers. Another thing that I noticed was if you put the friction disks in backwards the pressure plate fingers will not be even and flat when the clutch is installed.
    • yeah, mechanically, it is probably do-able, off the top of my head, there would be the transfer case, which I believe will bolt up to the rear of the RWD transmission, the shorter rear tail shaft. A front drive shaft, front diff, engine upper sump, front drive shafts, front hubs and front AWD struts (they are shaped around the front drive shafts), LCAs (at the very least from the front suspension) oil cooler.  You might want the rear diff from an AWD too, so you can be certain the front and rear diff rations are identical.  Who knows what brackets and mounts you might need.  So a whole doner car might be the best option if you need to maintain RHD. Then actually making it work, that would be a whole different story.
