nah dude dont want no rash on my good jdm rims :D

driving v8 supercar aound sandown in a few weeks, going to flog the shit out of them. 6 laps (and yes i get to drive)

Lol you stooge. You do realize it's just an ss stripped out with a cage and bucket seats. Not a real v8 supercar. Your GTR will feel quicker

does it have 400fwrwkws like my cousins na gemmy? :P

the v8 supercar i drove had slicks, cage, full dash install, all the usual safety shit and tons of power

it certainly wasnt a 600+hp supercar, but it wasnt a 200hp one either

youll enjoy it, they are pretty sweet and go alright

Yeah i was a bit underwhelmed when i did that drive day too. It had wide slicks so it actually cornered reasonably well though, wasn't expecting that!

lol i know its not a real v8 supercar, still will be flogging the shit out of it and not worrying about anything it was a christmas gift :)

So what was the issue?

Well my mechanic tried to spin both wheels. The left one spun. The right didn't.

Turns out the handbrake was on BUT wasn't functioning on the left side so he got confused.

Soooo.... Haunted Hills today was awesome, despite my ridiculously stretched tyres and absurd camber I managed to be only .2 of a second slower than our El presidente Ash ;) hahahaha

nice! where the pics brooo?

haha s'all good.

Give me some pointers on low-ballin. How much higher is the stated price range compared to the absolute minimum someone will accept it for :P

haha yeh depends on the house, location and most of all the sellers motivation. If you see somethign you like link me i may have a contact within the agency selling it to get you a no bs idea on where its at.

I found that stated price ranges were usually much lower than the price the people were after - to draw people in

yeh that happens out east and inner west a fair bit its bs its all private sale where i am thankfully - much easier for buyer /seller. You can grab a bargain at auction though particurarly when the market is favouring buyers like now.

pretty pro mechanic..

those drive days are all different

i remember a thread on here about 2 years ago where someone went on one and he was only allowed to use 3rd and 4th, even in corners, and was not allowed to heal-toe...

so after like 3 laps he came into a corner hot and heel-toe'd it and got kicked out on the spot lol

yeh its fun but still not quick enough have done at calder and they only let you use 3rd and 4th gear the brakes are good though and you will want more laps

Lol f**k I wanna take my car there! Seems like he knows his shit :ninja:

You should try my old mechanic

Things they f**ked up:

- Passing a roadworthy when I had f*cked wheel bearings (wheel nearly fell off), bald tyres and crazy positive camber due to bent strut

- Putting BBQ gas in my mate's MR2. Compressor lasted 15 hours before it broke.

- Telling me that my engine number didn't match what was on my rego

- Setting my mate's idle so low that it stalled every time he stopped at the lights (car was running fine before he got it serviced)

- Scratched my Supra's paintwork and denied it

- Didn't tighten my wheel nuts. I was able to remove them with my fingers alone.

And somehow they still have a good name and charge through the roof. My new mech is much better :)

    • 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
