very shamful to admit....but my missus drives a Honda civic with a SPORTIVO sticker on the back...

yes, uyes, sad, but she does...and i occasionally have to drive it also, fluffy toys and all.

i guess my 250rkw 32 makes up for it ;)

Saw this in northern China recently. Modified cars and sports cars are extremely rare in China as the rich people mainly focus on luxury/prestige brands. Thought I'd share. Sorry for the low-res iphone pic, but the badges say BMW M3. The bodykit is probably something some guy knocked up in his garage. The exhaust pays homage to the 100kw under the hood lol.

The base car is called a Brilliance BS4. I think the name says it all.

I thought the previous car was a gem, but this one takes the cake. Can't believe I forgot I had this on my phone. Once again, in China.

Even though I have no idea what the base car is, he's probably tripled its value with the bodykit and stickers.

Note the TRD, Citreon, Honda Type-R and Nissan GT-R decals. I know China's the home of rice but this is a bit too far lol.

Spotted a beast of an Hyundai Excel of the Calder Fwy out near Sunbury on Tuesday night.

Dark blue, fully kitted up with bonnet scoops, gauges including oversize rpm gauge. If the iphone could take a decent pic I would have one, but thats obviously not the case.

I was VERY impressed. I'm surprised the guy/girl could get the car rolling with all that extra weight.

there is a saab which ive spotted many times driving down bell street which is green with bright baby blue racing stipes and a v8 twin turbo sticker on the side and a massive baby blue spoiler and a huge SAAB sticker on the front window

from what i saw it was a business man driving the car.. so i guess his midlife crisis may have sent him a little crazy...

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
