I cant believe everyone here is so against stickers! yeah i agree maybe the fast and furious thing has been overdone a bit now as Judged said but really is it so bad to have a car that looks nice! it may look rice or wateva but i think if you like it then do it! I just dont understand wats so bad about stickers unless your falsely advertising products you dont have!:P

Do I really have to answer this? :P Most ppl already know my opinion on this and theres not much point starting another big bun fight.

For the record: If we lose a thousand to gain fifty like us, then its worth it. (All IMHO. I have no real say in the matter, its just my opinion).

I personally like the stickers.. if the car warrants it. I see various cars with a shopping list down the side without the mods its anoying..

I have 3. Street Force(did my tuning), Genie(did my exhaust), Enjo(i work for them).

no more no less.. if i could be assed and get JUN to do my custom cam i'd have a JUN sticker too :P

Hmmm

I'm a little confused.

Stickers = rice

according to some people here.

Does that make the touring cars and rally cars rice ?

I think not.

Stickers on something that has the balls to back it up is OK , imho.

Stickers for stickers sake ie. Garrett on a N/A lancer or something similar = rice.

I don't mind the odd tastefully done sticker but having the whole car emblazoned , especially for a daily driver is probably a little over the top.

But hell as someone said , whatever floats your boat.

I'm sure when some bright person came up with candyapple paint in the 50's , they thought he was a tosser as well....

GUYS,

Sounds like it has gotten out of hand. The main reason for me was there are a lot of liners out there now and i wanted to stand out in the crowd. I wanted to be different so I placed some decals on the car, the theme was F&F. The car was also a show car and the look made people come and view my car a lot closer than they normally would. Reading what people have to say here has reminded me why I did the decals. I love people looking at my car, turning their heads around for another look as I went by, people would come up and say g'day and say it looked great, than made me happy and put a smile on their faces. If it puts a different smile on other peoples face, I have achieved my outcome of making them smile.

KILLER - T

Thanks mate, I hope I can keep up with you now,(SEE YOU IN THE 12sec ZONE) :P

SHUTO-BOY

Thanks dude, but time for a change before PAS (stay tuned)

ZANDA,CAMPINPERTH

Thanks for your support

EVERYONE ELSE,

I respect your right for you have your own opinion, freedom of speech rox.

:jump:

judged,

Good to see a gtst in 12's. I wasn't aware what 60ft did ya get?

I think the sticker thing is always about 'free advertising'. Race cars get money for it.

Even in the V8 world we have our own version of 'rice'.

4cylinder escorts with twin 2 1/2 inch exhaust pipes

as above with non functional hornet scoops.

NOS stickers (hello police)

and the list goes on.

As I said before I don't get anoyed I just laugh, me and my mates used to sticker up peices of puss we owned as a joke.

I jusyt have to tell yo guys something!

Last weekend whilst going down to Fremantle... a full pack of P plate Trevs... and I am talking the trev of trevs.....these guys were so trev that there babies come pre-born with mullets! where in a VB commodore.....

As they pull up next to me all i here is... "RICE" now i certainly don't consider my car to be rice... the only sticker i have is a VERY small RB sticker about 8cm's long... thats it nothing else... and i have eaten a few V8's which should lessen the rice factor aswell..... anyway there they were in all their Trevness screaming "RICE" i just ignored them in there VB $200 commo and as i drove off what do i see on it... those Blue Neon washer lights that go on where your water sprayers are to wash the windscreen! hahahah!! i couldn't beleive it! there they where saying "RICE" then they have blue neon light washers... the most riceyness thing on the marlow market!!..

OH THE HUMANITY!!!!

Hmm maybe they were talking about their car and not mine!:uh-huh:

Trevs refer to any japaneses cars as rice.

i admit it i drive a commonwhore :P

its sad but true....its my first car so i don't give a **** i like what i have for the time being and it gets me where i need to go.

just can't wait for the day i drive away in my R32 GTR.....

Yeh my corrolla could do under 10 seconds if i put stickers all over it. Got some dumbass actors to put in it, film it in a creative light and then say "it does under 10 secs bro, it fully sic"

I havent seen fast and the furious yet but i feel safe in saying that it has no technical grounding at all.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
