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...

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
