Hi all,

we consist of 3 ppl, 2 guys and 1 girl who are car enthusiasts ("semi-enthusiasts" says the girl).

Anyway, one is a prelude driver, one wants a nicer car and the other is just a typical girl who drives a beetle.

Finally decided to join up and see how much we can learn, plenty of interesting topics here.

So just wanted to say hi!! :banana:

My rationale for it: What Honda owner wants a "nicer" car? Don't they already have the ultimate? And they can't drive the beetle at the same time!

i had 2 cars at 1 point. and cherie's brother has about 7, and 5 boats. so if they did have split personalities then each personality could have a car.

and besides, if you read properly, one person has a prelude, one has the beelte and the 3rd wants a nicer car. nothing is said about the prelude driver wanting a nicer car. the current car of the person who wants a nicer car isn't mentioned.

and the honda owner may just be a honda owner, and not a honda fanboi. in the same way that not every commodore owner is a bogan and not every import owner is a pretty boy, boy racer with neons, fully hektic blow off valves and naws

See my statement was going by your assumption that they are all one and the same person. Regardless, I'm just right.

Haha, i must say if we were 1 person with 3 personalities.. i'd be semi-rich (we) and 2 guys and 1 girl.

No no, we are 3 separate ppl, but very good friends who don't live together, but we hang out all the time.

so its

Wai,

Lyn

and Will

Will's the honda owner. I think he's in preludes australia?

i'm lyn btw typing. at work.. yes.. bludging...

and yes I own the beetle. I was young and impressionable and naive!! and fully influenced by girly cosmetics looks and encouragement from my father! :cool:

which beetle? the old ones that catch fire, or the new ones with 3 foot from the windscreen to the end of the dash?

the 2002 one. the uncool not-aircooled-engine-in-the-back one :cool:

BUT better than the 2008 ones where it looks like people have gone and sawed off the sides

ummmm, i don't think there is a difference between the bodies of a 2002 beetle and a 2008 beetle. i just did a bit of searching and couldn't find anything that shows any differences. may be a difference in the interior, but from what info i could find, the body is the same (unless you compare the convertable to the hardtop, LOL)

Oh its not too obvious i guess, yeah you're right with interior and stuff..

but if you had the latest beetle, sit it next to a 2002 one like mine...

you know the round bits above the wheels? mine is pretty much curved the whole way. with maybe 1cm of flat vertical bit. the new ones are like about 3-4cm.. makes it look a bit stunted but that's just my opinion :(

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By Duncan · Posted

      Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)

      Probably. I take it that they are also mentioned to be for R34 Skyline? For example.... RDA has that part as RDA7957. I have the dimpled and slotted version of that on my car https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/285518478694?srsltid=AfmBOopKxMuAFpsxZJdB1cam4D5RAj1f9yJyOttPZLAwXVNCOiwlhrIy This is DBA's top one piece equivalent https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364246686631?srsltid=AfmBOorbb0XHQgqTvZLgQPhg70nqJtGvdojKnugum3O2LFSr2h-obp8D
