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 :(

    • Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.
    • Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.
    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
