I'm not a fan of the CLA in gernal, proportions look wrong. it kinda looks like a smaller AU falcon..

BUT when I saw a AMG CLA45 whole diff matter the skirts and body kit fix all the issues.

thing looks great.

Naw mang, buy a second hand Falcon GT for 50k - 1 year old, brembos, tune it for a grand got a mid 11 sec car chuck some semi slicks on and have some fun at the track if you want too.

Show me a comparable (new) car to this for 50k only other thing I looked at was the 335i but decided on a new GS instead.Then again I aint on dat dere baller spec cash like dezz. If you looking 100k why not just get a 35 GTR tune it on e85 with some mid pipes and be done with it.

Just research possible gearbox issues and what that might cost.. hell even rebuilding my gearbox costs a shitload!

straya!

"Hey Simon, what do you want for Christmas?"
"Money towards sway bars."
"I don't know what that is, but alright..."

Which sway bars should I be getting?

Are Whitelines Front and Rear Sway bars still the way to go? Will I need adjustable ones? 24mm? 27mm? What else is there to know about them? What are these end links and mount bushings that are on the Whiteline Website? Do I need them toooo?

I think I've already got slightly beefier ones than the GTST's came with, since I have the A-LSD model and a bunch of parts are tankier than usual...

Thanks in advance :touch:

(from pulsar experience with whiteline) non-adjustable are equivalent to medium settings on adjustable. The hardest settings are make the rear end pretty damn jumpy and I've spun out a few times when hitting uneven tarmac or something during corners.

with end links... the best:

(i dont know what length the R33 would want, the small ones fit the pulsar fine and kept the bar flat)

Cla is a bit of a stretch for a 4 cyl turbo. But has heaps of street presence, 265 kw fuel economy is actually in existence.. Full new warranty servicing etc financed. f**k those things go hard as well {style_image_url}/attachicon.gif ImageUploadedBySAU Community1386629514.469054.jpg{style_image_url}/attachicon.gif ImageUploadedBySAU Community1386629527.069145.jpg{style_image_url}/attachicon.gif ImageUploadedBySAU Community1386629537.984580.jpgThat's the work one lol {style_image_url}/attachicon.gif ImageUploadedBySAU Community1386629569.725000.jpg{style_image_url}/attachicon.gif ImageUploadedBySAU Community1386629585.007289.jpgBut in saying that, driving dat v8 507 around last week was such a pleasure! Really have a different appreciation after getting in one. The normal c63 (non 507) go for about $100k at auctions. And that's stretching it. Should look into that as an option. May end up walking away with something better for a lot cheaperAnd not sAying this as a biased opinion.. The depreciation of BMW is fkn shocking. The safety features on merc seriously outrank the rest. And I've tested that at sandown lol

C63 amg or normal? I'd love one if I could pick one up at auction cheap...I'd even settle for a sedan. But guessing lease wouldn't be an option?

Lease my brother with my work I get mad returns on tax out of it otherwise id be cruisin in a Kia fo real.

Cla isn't as good in real life IMO something about the back slope seems goofy / less elegant than full size cls

Still nice though

If you want something nice Dezz id say spend 50-70 you'll get a very nice low kms good nick prestige car for that and you won't wear the pain of the 50% price drop in first 2 odd years

More than open to suggestions... I'm sure there's plenty of cars in the market I'm looking at that I don't even know about

You driven one yet?

Nope

just get a fezza dezzmang bitch magnet 

Hopefully one day...

You'll get a c63 sedan under a 100k just kms might be on the high side so you gotta think about maintenance lack of warranty if something breaks etc

Suggestions are hard what's main criteria?

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
