Australian beef going offshore to higher bidders = expensive steak locally

Gonna be a fun future

thus why getting a few acres, fatten my own and getting some-one to slice it up for me..

been checking out VW golfs all day... Mk5 seems a smarter buy than anything else. Mk7 is pretty cheap for a new-ish car but so much crap (read "features") comes with them.

For interior/looks, nothing really competes with VW in the sub $30k hatch market.

Weird forum glitch....

I didn't quote that and don't even know what thread it's from

The "view original" link isn't working either

Weird... its trying to back link to Post #5 of SAU History...

Currently up to Post 7,566,267...

Gotta love self serve wreckers. Low km GDA box & diff with 4.44 final drives and same gearing as v5/v6 STi ~1k worth for $350.

Good gearing and stronger components 2 weeks before deca, splendid.

Do you just do this shit to troll or are you genuinely f**king special?

Literally EVERY OTHER HATCH below 30k is better than a golf. They are f**king abominations.

suggestions?

went to Holden, Nissan, Toyota, Ford, Hyundai, VW today.

Cruze was pretty presentable but i just cant trust it considering how woeful the captiva is. Im not familiar with brand new car shopping, but so much was so stale and cheaply made. You could almost snap all the plastic levers and handles in the toyotas if it was to get caught in your clothing and then saw all the same bits in the 86 :wacko:

No offense but dude your looking what sub 40k? What you expecting

I got to say the qashqai for 40k is damn impressive every possible feature / creature comfort the round view camera is amazing should be on every car IMO.

The buttons & dash are pretty good too for the price point I thought.

I actually reckon my new Lexus is better than the a5 was and comparative to the 4 series a touch nicer perhaps I'm bias though

lol this isn't for me, f**k new cars.

Was helping someone else. Got their heart sold on Mk5 golf, GT V or whatever. Diesel manual. Seems the safest bet of the bunch. I know people have issues with the twin charged and DSG models.

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
