Haha!!

Yeah it's shit IMO. Its not a Corvette...

As for the Toyota Soarer I would rather see them with Toyota badges on and for the S15, I would rather the Silvia badge then the 200SX.

JDM FTW!

i dont think people put those badges on and think "you lil rippa got me self a corvette"

i think that majority put it on because it attracts more attention than the holden badge and some are just monkey see monkey do's or maybe the opposite??

the lS1's are a chev, the 6 litre LS2 and L98's are also chev's. If they have a chev motor in it, why not put a chev badge on it, I am not really getting the problem here, if they have a 5 litre then that is gay, the V6 is a buick V6 not a chev so also gay.

They also sell the GTO coupe in america as a 'chev'

I agree ....dont mind so much If it is actually a Ls series engine as they are chev engines but it is the morons you see in V6 commonwhores sporting them that really annoy me....the best thing to do is blatantly laugh and or ask them which part is Chevrolet ( best done when all their mates are in the car ) this usually gets a bit of a stunned mullet look along with some unintelligable ( spelling ) muttering...

Only one thing worse

GTS's with GTR BADGES - each time I see one I want to get out the screw driver and remove it for them.

I'd like to see the opposite just for kicks eg., guy debadges his Lexus LS600 and puts a Toyota badge on it :P Way to instantly shave off $100k of your car value, Mr Camry driver. Or a Lambo debadged to Audi... (audi engines)

Personally I couldn't care less what people badge their car as. No-one would really mistake it for what it is, and it makes for a good laugh. We have it fine here. You should go to the streets of SE asia, where Ferrari/Lambo/Merc badges are a dime a dozen from street sellers and guys have hundreds of the things all over their scooters or Ladas lol.

ive seen one with a Lexus badge on the back and a Toyota badge on the front.

LOL

what i dont get is if they wanted a corvette so bad why not just get 1? alot of these commos are late model VE maloos, clubbys etc which i think cost like 50K+ so its not like they cant afford a few year old corvette...

I'm guessing it's a pain in the ass to import and convert them to RHD. Not sure of the intricacies of getting a LHD permit, but I'm guessing it would also be a pain in the ass.

You know, for the record, HSV Clubbies and GTS are marketed in the middle east as CSV's (Chevrolet Special Vehicles) - I see tonnes of them (HSV Factory is just down the road)

Does that make the entire middle east tryhards?

That being said, back home i did once see a rodeo de-badged and replaced with a ford badge. Problem was, it was the model rodeo that didn't have the lion insignia, rather the word 'holden' across the front, and so in thick black plastic, it still said 'holden' just with a blue oval over the L and D.

is anyone else getting a tad over seeing commos on the road with chevy rear/front badges?

fark theres more holdens with chevy badges here than there are actual chevys in america!!

are they factory optioned or something?

i know its coz of the v8 engines in holdens but theyre GM engines, theyre not built by chevrolet they just happen to be used in them aswell :huh:

arent the americans meant to be the "less educated" ones? i bet if you went over there you wouldnt see a single corvette with holden badges on...

ive decided to get a 2jz transplant and stick toyota badges on my car. screw this shit :P

/end rant

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Shits me to tears, get over it muppets! :D :D :down: :down:

I don't care WHAT engine you're running, you don't see Audi S6's running around with Lamborghini badges just because they use the V10 - the is no excuse, it's a HOLDEN - :ermm:

Is a valiant with a mopar sticker ok, if it isnt to bad.

Why wouldn't it be?

Chrysler Valiant... mopar are Chrysler branded performance products and also an accepted nickname for Chrysler, Dodge and plymouth cars

I've owned many hot vals over the years, maybe 10+ and used to wear my Mopar t-shirt with pride. Wish I still owned most of them, some nice steel.

Mopar madness FTMFW!

From what I heard from Clarkson the other day i'm suprised nobodies spotted a 350z with renault badges on it....I mean why wouldn't you.

So Cooool!

Lexus Soarer ... Toyota Soarer ? any different ?

i've seen Toyota Soarer..... then a few months later same car has Lexus tags on them

I just saw a Soarer near my house with badges that looked neither like Toyota nor Lexus, it looked like a Pegasus... :D

As for the Commo Chevy badges, I don't really care as I don't bother to notice them at all, they all appears to be a bunch of common Camrys to me.

I think its a Lion with Wings on it..?

Hence the name Soarer (to Soar/Fly high in the sky) well in this case fly fast down the road...

Some metaphor...

LOL! I'm just guessing. :)

      Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...

      Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.

      Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z

      Wanna rewrite all of that in, say, 2 or 3 separate sentences, so that we can read it?
