How about stick with Jap cars!

GET A CENTURY, OR A CELSIOR.

THOSE CARS ARE f**kING YAKUZA/GANGSTER PIMPING VIP CARS

or get an e46 especially 325i's , good cars but not powerful and you can make them have that VIP look too! just not with purple velvet and rear massage seats etc.

Look at fcruz3rs BMW he sold , his was a good clean example of something looking pimpin.

hahaha

i know most of you guys are hard out jap fans.. but really.. a celsior and a newish clk are pretty different

also there's a longer service interval on the benz's.. you're really only looking at 1 a year, i'm very sure the last couple my dad has had only need servicing every 15-20 thou.. and since you're not flogging the shit out of them like you would a skyline, etc you're not really up for breaking drivetrain parts

downside is that they won't rip a doughie.. ive tried

Edited by ohno1

Hahah. GERMAN HAMMERZEIT cannot proceed.

Their internal computers combust when someone tries to do a doughie. They are so grandma friendly its not funny those cars.

I love the look of CLK's syfon and it will bring out the inner greek :P.

get the number plates rollnmerc or someshit.

Haha imagine this CLK with a big block chevy in it ripping down the drag strip running 10's ;) LOL

I was thinking of getting the number plates KOMPRESSA

Yeah i guess with a car like this i wouldn't plan on trying to rip a doughie or standstill - or i'd most probably try something :P

SLK's are definitely hairdressers cars. I think all but the most brand new ones are built on some other cars shitty chassis, can't remember what it was though ;)

They have been used as F1 safety cars.

How many hairdressers you know who drive 'em? ;)

Ok, so basically the CLK listed a few posts above (previous page me thinks) has the following specs/options:

  • Supercharged-intercooled 2.3L 4cylinder engine (120km's on this one)
  • 5-speed automatic transmission
  • 142kW @ 5300rpm, 280Nm @ 2500rpm
  • ABS
  • Air-conditioning
  • Front & side air-bags for 1st row occupants
  • Light grey leather interior with woodgrain trim
  • Electric sunroof
  • Power everything (seats, windows, steering, etc)
  • Heated front seats
  • Independent suspension
  • And some other things bla bla bla

This car is intended to be a cruiser for down south trips etc and will also be a daily driver.

I only plan on some light cosmetic mods - dished rims, lowered a bit, HIDs, aftermarket head/tail lights. Oh, that and a HUGE sound system :yes:

I have read about the fuel economy figures and city driving is not too bad, country driving is pretty damn good.

So it has a pretty decent compromise between power & economy, but i will still miss the power of my 25 :cool:

I have done some more reading and spoken to a few people re this particular make/model and everyone seems to be pretty happy with all aspects of the car.

My old man is a little skeptical of letting me buy a car like this (and i do understand exactly what he is saying/where he is coming from) due to maintenance costs if something goes wrong. I will service the car myself every 5000km's as i know it is quite easy.

I personally think the best thing to do to find any mechanical/electrical faults is to get someone (probably Jason at Diesel Motors) to plug their laptop to see the history of the vehicle's computer etc.

LOL im getting excited haha

I don't have a family either but it's immensely practical! and getting chopped by a lunchbox is very demoralising :cool:

Comfy as, still got poke (Jippas is as fast as mine) and can fit a heap of crap in the back!

Getting chopped by a RB25 Lunchbox can be quite depressing haha.

These things (CLK) make 148kW so im happy with that, and i have driven one so i know what they go they, not slow but not fast either lol

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
