I thought starting a thread about what ppl have done to their cars would be a good idea. I'm sure a lot of us would like to see the before and after pics of the changes we've done to our cars, and a lot of ppl would like to show them off :D.

Maybe just show before and after pics..

What it's done..

And how much its cost

well mine is pretty simple so far... i bought a burgundy r33 gtst with a silly veilside bodykit, it was way too low and was a monstrosity, which resulting in me buying a whole new stock series 2 kit, seeing as my roof was fading and bonnet needed attention aswel as the new kit, a full respray happened. before this i bought a new dump pipe and high flow cat, after the spray i bought a new xforce cat back exhaust with electronic varex cannon as it was straight 4inch piping which sounded amazing and loud, but was not good for cop attention.

and in the last 6 months of owning it ive bought odds and ends for the cosmetic side of things, like series 2 steering wheel, nismo indicators, etc etc.. never touched the engine because it was always in top nick, and now its going to be up for sale soon so i can upgrade to a gtr!!!!

and also, how do you guys post pictures that size and that quality? ill post some of mine if ii can figure it out. :)

mines running a lemon under the bonnet with a couple coconuts hanging off it... go figgure.

Got to admit before joining this website actualy had hardly any respect for r33s.. but this thread n the pics of them, especially aberax has actually made me re-consider.. that is one nice looking clean r33 :D

That rx-7 is fkin mint.. would like 2 kno how quick it is and wat u actually use it for (track drag or just show)

And stang happy 2 see u realised that a black boot doesnt make a car look better on its own :D haha wat else u done to it ?

And type.. ive already admitted i don't kno too much about cars but physically u done much to it like second pic looks darker but guessing uve worked on the engine mainly? made much difference in power?

Come on guys I kno all of us make modifications 2 our cars mainly to make it more powerful n look better for our own reasons but we also do it because we want others 2 appreciate it so.. put ur cars on here tell us how much it costs ( so we know wat 2 do to ours) and also just 2 give alot of ppl ideas about wat 2 do 2 their cars and so we can admire some nice cars..

And tbh I'm a fair noob when it comes 2 cars and im sure a few others are so if u show wat uve done n explain wat its done n y... no1 will complain.. :D

fkk bro.. i guess thats wat happens when u love a car hey, ive been told not 2 buy a gt cause i can wait for 4 years n buy a peice of crap in the mean time... but i guess its all about lovin the car u have n enjoying it, then again that is a lot of money :P

U got a recent pic of it? wat powers it got.. and u regret it?

sometimes i look at it and say why, but i dont for one regret it, its not all just about the car, its about the friends you have made along the way!

and i last made 380kw on a hub dyno, but goes for a new tune tomorrow.

so im thinking around 350kw on 25psi.

check my build thread ;)

I challenge you to find either my car rego, phone number, address or anything else that would indicate who owns my car (i.e. who i am) or where it is located :thumbsup: . I have always been very careful about what pictures are posted and anything that indicates who D_Stirls actually is, the only thing that has been posted is that my name is Dale.

EDIT!! actually at the moment there are 3 threads with my number in them but i'll deal with them shortly.

Also there is no connection between FB account and my D_Stirls persona, and unless i've accepted you you can't see anything on there anyway.

    • Block bump. $400. As above cyl 6 needs bore or sleeve.
    • I would think making the argument that the travel is limited by a spring flexing against a spring perch as "the same method". Later on in the document they do state that the spring can't bind on full bump travel and cannot come loose in full rebound travel as well. (which is all very sensible). The laws are actually pretty sensible and reasonable. It's just that the people who enforce and check them don't actually read them or know them accurately. "Oh, coilovers? Instant fail mate. Don't even need to look at it." - Guy who will be instantly reported by me. There is probably merit to people who do get defected for height also get defected for the suspension in that state that allows it. I did never consider the people who are complaining about coilovers being picked on are also running around at 50mm off the floor.
    • I think given SAU's knowledge of E85 we can strongly conclude that 10% ethanol in almost any situation is entirely fine. Almost all of the myths against E85 were overblown, let alone E10.
    • From your link See bold text, is this referring to damper settings, if so that may a issue for "some" inspectors, I cannot see aftermarket coilovers having the evidence that "must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original" Maybe just remove the adjustment knows and hope for the best???? Meh 5.2 Suspension travel In all instances, modifications to a vehicle’s suspension must ensure the integrity of the system and not compromise the ride quality. At least two thirds of the original suspension travel should be maintained in both directions (rebound (i.e. extension) and bump (i.e. compression)), and rebound must be limited by the same method used by the vehicle manufacturer or if this is not practicable due to the nature of the modification, an equivalent method. If an alternative method is used, evidence must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original.
    • They actually don't - They adhere to VSB14 rules just like Victoria. The rules are against CABIN adjustable height, and it quite clearly states that the height has to be within parameters. I asked the VASS engineer to confirm this when I got my car engineered and they refused to engineer the coilovers because they didn't meet the requirements for requiring engineering. (mine are height adjustable.) People "Not wanting to bother" with "Actually reading/knowing/adhering to the rules" should result in fines and immediately losing the ability to issue blue slips and/or RWC's in Vic.
