wank factor IMO

Yep!

Yeah if you got something special about your car you can show it off through the number plate and it's your car and you can do whatever you want.

But I would not do it.

who wants to buy mine - sxc r33? and then i can get '4 SHOW' or '0 SHANE' '2 SEXI' etc ...

This is exciting, i can't decide what to get... do you think sxc r33 will sell though?? any offers for say, 300?

front tires will save your life, plates will make you get pulled over or look like a knob

so you decide

i cant wait for many combinations of

2NVMYVL

2BENVS

33GTR

34GTR

blah blah blah

just think how easy it is to remember a custom plate? now, add to that $500 to the risk of possible complaints to police. overtake someone on boost, some random thinks you're a hoon and calls you in. reading a bunch of random numbers and letters is A LOT harder to remember then custom plates.

plus, what does it achieve? the look of the car? yeh, OMG so cool with plates. at least stuff like tint/paint or rims can actually improve the look of the car.

leave the custom plates for wankers in excels/lancers with huge chromies, 5" exhausts and shocking paint jobs.

Not trying to defend it because i have custom plates. Any of those things you just said can attract the same amount of attention as custom plates. I dont like people who put body kits on cars or stupid vinyls are retarded but i dont specifically say to them they are.

It does add to the look of the car... it would be stupid to say it doesn't. Infact the plates can add more to the car than mods can =S

Look at the RX7 in my garage, stock body, but with VIC plates it looks like absolute rubbish. Owning a import or sports car in general gets us targeted so if your going to own one... you might aswell get custom plates =S. As most people don't have engineers for their mods and are illegal. Custom plates are a small addition to being "suspected" of hooning rather than getting pulled over for power you shouldn't have and lawfully cant use on the road.

    • I hope it's actually possible. This is a write off in insurance world.
    • Yup. 2-way with shallow ramp angles. Still works.
    • That was the first session so not a lot to take from the day. It was low 20s ambient and the coolant had got to 110 (and obviously had some pressure!) so that still needs to be addressed. I haven't downloaded the data yet but will. I had refilled the auto trans with Redline DT6 because it claimed the best viscosity I could find at 100o. It wasn't really long enough to get a good feel for that; while the trans got to 100o in the session it still wasn't shifting crisply as I hoped. I think I'll try a few more sessions before judging. No steering motor overheat but I'd hope not in only 1 session! But finally the suspension; it was night and day over the standard stuff and the car was a couple of seconds quicker on the same crappy tyres, which is a huge difference. I'll stick with that and get some sway bars and a mechanical diff sorted too and see how that all goes together
    • I guess it’s partially a compromise of how my car is used, wanting to be able to switch from drift to grip with track side on-car adjustment. Also partially with the way the knuckles are set there is more static camber but less dynamic camber gain. 
    • OK, so update from the track day on Friday It was a classic "an unfortunate series of events'. There were a few cars around and when i checked my mirror coming out of the fish hook I notice some smoke from the rear of mine. Looked again and it was getting much worse, I figured I'd blown a turbo or something to got off it and pulled off the racing line. However.... since it is a left hairpin into a right kink, I was on the inside of the next corner. There was a car passing me on the left and a big drop off over the ripple strip on the right......and someone had knocked the witch's hat that was on the apex about 1m onto the track. So, between those 3, I decided to mow down the cone and not damage my car/the other car. Right choice, but surprising result.  The car decided the cone was a small pedestrian so it blew the rear bonnet hinges up to protect their head in the upcoming person to car impact....I didn't see that coming and like an airbag deployment it happened super fast. Straight into the pits from there, everything was driving fine but it became clear it was a coolant leak not smoke, it was billowing up onto the windscreen. Onto the trailer and home. I'll do a separate thread about the repair (once I work out what it is ), but the immediate problem was the bonnet wouldn't open because the front was pinched onto the front bar and would not release. Ultimately we unbolted the hinge from the bonnet, pulled it back a little and it released from the front OK. "There's your problem", the top radiator hose had popped off at the radiator.
