speaking of illegal activity... yesterday's car meet at carribean gardens: so many p-players driving turbo cars. turbo civic, stock 2JZ supra, A45 AMG, VW R36.

not sure if borrowing parents cars or just not giving 2 ducks

Column A and Column B.

Was the A45 red with ricey black features? Looking more like a Civic Type R?

R36 isn't turbo, but not sure if P player friendly. Think it might be just over the limit. Certainly faster than a lot of not P plater friendly cars.

This is not correct anymore..

You can drive it for 90 days a year, as long as you have a logbook

Which pretty much means you fill out the logbook before you go, except the date field.

Get pulled over? Write date down quickly, and then you're good to go.

Mate with Club reg BMW has actually been asked exactly 0 times for his logbook the 4-5 times that's been pulled over/through a booze bus etc.

You'd be quite lucky to work 90 days a year and still get paid for the full year.

A45 was white, no mods. 2 guys got out looking particularly wanky.

on that note: didnt see any 34GTRs and thought that was odd. nek minnit 3 rock up. must have slept in after a long night doing prinny runs since one had unburnt fuel covering half of the rear end of the car. must have recently bought it :P

What's the retail on an A45?

Very slight chance he may have acquired it himself on the basis he worked full time straight after highschool and is towards the end of his P Plates.

What sort of income levels does Mercedes require before you can finance one? inb4Aaron

Other 99% chance is via parents

That's my guess

Or.... you'd be unlucky to get your logbook checked 91 times a year...

Or you might get a cop who just complies with the rules and takes off your club reg when he sees your a dodgey that doesn't fill it out :P

$74990 plus on roads I think

I'm not sure of the credit side lol I only deal with them when they fail

They aren't that hard to acquire though. Going by the amount of young people getting around in Euro/luxury cars lately

Say the finance is 4 years

Plus say interest of 10% would bring total to $105,000

Thats repayments of $2,188 a month or $547 a week. That's still alot of cash for a teen in addition to what they already spend

I am a human calculator

I know this guy in Hallam who drives all these exy Mercedes

prob on the 2% rate for 24 or 36 months. big deposit and then sell back for a loss.

I'm surprised so many people I know get suckered into cheap car finance.

And I ask them, if car company is making a loss at by financing at below the RBA interest rate, where do you think they will make their money back from?

Maybe I should have remained single, stayed with my parents and financed a Gallardo....

    • 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.
