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.

    • 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.
