i had an interesting conversation with an old mate today who i havent seen for a while. When he saw my car he said something like: "awesome, you can cruise around listening to eminem and dmx" or something like that.

i have been noticing a trend lately that hip hop and rap is associated with imports. ive got nothing against hip hop and rap, some of its good, but im a true doof doof person. ive even got some 'so your one of those hoons' remarks from people when i say i like to listen to the doof doof music.

ive always associated imports with doof doof music ever since a few years ago. i think it might be to do with the LA culture that has come over here. the fast and furious movies only used hip hop and rap in both the soundtracks and i constantly get people saying to me, namely my sister, to "be cool" and cruise around with hip hop blaring which she so often puts on, much to my annoyance.

whats everyones thoughts on this? im not bashing hip hop/rap or anything, ive always thought of imports having doof doof music, thats all.

depends, its cultural :D

crusing around with metallica or something always freaks a few people out when they see my sort of car pull up :D, then again i can be listening to rap or some psi-trance as well another minute .. led zep another. all depends on my mood i think.

actually have no idea what people think, neither do i care.. i don't like people looking at my car, freaks me out actually.

yeah i agree, i can be listening to totally different stuff all the time. but i have noticed that people who dont own imports (at least the ones ive met, or know) just assume that i drive around listening to rap, and because i listen to trance and prog music, then im labelled a hoon and they think i spend all my time driving up and down chapel st on friday and sat nights. i have done it once tho. u have to :D

hmm step into my car... I've got Initial D music pumpin hehehe either that or one of the MOS Chillout session CD's.

Then there's my oldschool hip hop/r&b (1990-2001) collection which gets played... coz frankly the stuff comin out of the industry right now sucks hardcore.

Then theres days where I blast prodigy while stuck in rush hour, and then there's days when Linkin Park have a go at my system.

Yes I'm a moody music player too

Im more of a hip hop listener and love to cruize wit music such as Jarrasic 5, and usually wen my foot feels a bit heavy im listening to something bit more aggressive like 2pac, Ice Cube, Dr Dre, Mack 10 etc...

Although Im not a "Doof Doof" hater either as I got a couple of cd's, I even have ub40 on cd and a Dean Martin tape hehe

i think its more to do with ethnicity and social background than it is to do with car. Like us northie guys all drive around with doof doof and rap in the glovebox for the perfect situation... irrespective of holden or nissan or subaru...

I am not going to mention any artists or band names cause I listen to just about anything and everything - as most of you guys - depending on my mood. I listen to pretty much every band listed above and others too.

Being a DJ I have thousands and thousands of albums / singles / CD's / tapes / etc...most of which are NOT internet downloads :D These range from 1950's to now :D Been buying vinyl since 1987 and transfer most stuff to CD - what I really need is a MP3 stacker, yes I know they are available...

what i was actually going to say was, generally rnb / rap makes me more chilled when cruisin & fast tempo music - be it agro grunge or dance beats make me put the foot down :D

      If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.

      If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.

      MAJOR FUEL ISSUES 25det neo r32

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
