I don't even want to know what it's cost me over the past 5 years... if I put my fingers in my ears and hum really loudly, I might be able to pay for a few extra little bits and pieces to get it going again.

All I know is, it's progressed into a real pig to drive, but I love it every time I drive it (especially now that I don't drive it every day)

i feel the same. but the car has always not been the friendliest to drive.

and even after the money ive spent on it making it an even better car, the shit from bad workshops/previous owner are still biting me in the arse.

Should probably book it into FPV brah... they'll know what they're doing

not sure if sarcastic or not here.....

but FPV is long gone...

take it to ford and get the apprentice that does the work on fiestas to change them and test drive it....

it's not hard but if you f**k something up is a royal pain.

for a daily just take it to any reputible palce,

RaceBrakes is near me and used them a bunch of times

Anyone know if 33R series 3 lip will fit a series 1/2?

Straight bolt on, remember you'll need the brake ducts as well to make it all work properly. Early lip was actually offered as an option for S3's lol. I guess some people didn't want dat reduced ground clearance.

It was a triple sting....

1. How do you not know how to change brake pads?

2. Why would you take it to a workshop and pay instead of spending half an hour learning with someone who does know whats up (wouldn't recommend experimentation learning with brakes for obvious reasons)

3. FPV.

Volunteering to help out me out are ya? :P

Yeah I find the s1-2 lips nicer, s3 looks way to beefy at the front with nothing on the sides/rear with that lip

Mohsen didnt just not have insurance. He cancelled it because he wanted to look for a better deal.... and kept driving

Baaaahahahahahshshahsaaa

HAHAHAHAHA

Are brake ducts different across series? I have my series 1 ducts. Either my eyes are shit or I can't tell the difference between the S1/2 and S3 aesthetically.

There are JUN style carbon lips on eBay for $400, whilst I don't wanna spend that much on a lip, that's what the series 3 guy was chasing for his with slight cracks underneath it.

Wonder how it'd look.

Wish I could find a series 1, that looked the best.

I'm sure I've posted it before, but why is anyone surprised when mohsen, a retard, does something retarded?

Well it's not so much that it's a surprise that he is a retard but the seemingly never ending depth of his retardedness

Ealy lip also has the disadvantage of collapsing at high speed though.

Oh really? Well a nicer looking lip though

No surprises, just hilarious

    • 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.
