You're nothing but a fool mate. Leave the expensive almost impractical cars for your open licence and learn how to f**ken drive while riding in comfort and reliability.

Don't be a Mong. ;)

While you drive to work on your Ps in an underpowered unreliable car that you will probably make defectable in some way.

Bravo.

good thing you don't care what people think of you.:rolleyes:

Get a 2 litre non turbo imprezza, my mate has one, great on fuel , good handling and goes really well, appearance of it isnt gay like a excel and isnt as good as a GTR but hey its pretty good imo !

what about a lancer then with a 1.8 in it?

they are ok cars, but not as nice to drive as an impreza or SSS pulsar. they are a bit boring/vague. corollas are the same (although a little bit better to drive than the lancers)

not that many really. not in my town anyways.

as the person above changed your post to say, so you are saying that you want plenty of police attention? and by the sounds of it getting a natro import will make you stand out pretty well, because i'm guessing you'll like trying to drag people off from the lights and a natro import will really help you stand out and be talked about, because in most cases the natro imports will get beaten by commodores and falcons, so people will be saying "yeah i beat that guy in his import"

also having a car that is different to everything else in town makes it very easy for the police to identify you if someone reports a car like yours doing burnouts or racing around town.

I drive my s13 (ca18de) an hour and a half to work & back again most days of the week. I'll get about 500kms per tank and I normally find myself spending about $130-$150 on fuel per week. Maybe sus out some s13's (auto if youre in a lot of stop start traffic because a clutch would be a pain otherwise).

ca18de or sr20de is a good choice.

cops cant really get me for anything if i've got nothing illegal on my car..

and im not really into doing drifts, races, burnouts on public roads, thats what im mates bushbasher is for...

good thing you don't care what people think of you.:rolleyes:

cheers for that :)

p platers are awesome. Come along asking for advice but then disregard it when they don't hear what they like.

You're going to look super cool in your skyline when your mates mum can beat you away from the lights every time. No car enthusiast takes NA skylines, supras, etc.. seriously because they're nuggets, so you'll get attention but a lot wont be positive.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      (it is a brand new ported mellings pump) I suspect the lack of pressure is due to the leak. It was *not* that low in other logs of oil pressure in the past. It wasn't that hot either, but not far off.

      Would a Mellings oil pump be a viable option  From my time with a LS, and talking to tuners and LS specialists, the "weak" OEM oil pump is one of the first things they recommend to swap out if I was going to give the engine any high RPM I opted for a Mellings high volume, with the high pressure springs and I never had a issue with it Cost wise they are not expensive in the scheme of things

      My new to me M35 Stagea wagon

      By davemoto63 · Posted

      Just bought a 2002 Stagea 250tRS VR-X Four AERO VQ25DET and spent the last two weekends cleaning and detailing it.. still have to do the wheels and the engine bay but the rest of it came up nice. Imported 2011 to S.A. and I'm the third owner since it was imported. I met the guy who brought it over, he went to Japan and picked out the car, bought it and ordered the wheels. He also gave me a list of stuff he did to the car with receipts. Coil overs (I have the original springs), 3" exhaust from the dump pipe back no cat, Custom dump pipe,(I have the original exhaust), Plenum spacer, 18" custom Work XSA wheels (need restoring, I've made a start..), Shift kit put through the 5 speed tiptronic auto, TV and menus/screens changed to english, Australian DTV tuner installed in rear. I've just had four new discs and new pads as well as all the fluids including the brake fluid replaced. I have all the receipts for the last 15 years and the import papers in a nice folder. Car looks great, goes like hell but fuel economy is not a thing lol.. pics next..

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By silviaz · Posted

      I ended up in this rut again lol, and used a shit ton of filler. One thing I can't understand is, even after using a big long block and going in long X pattern strokes, I always end up at bare metal again with no filler, and my repair started at one end of the door and now I've chased my tail to almost the other end of the door. I was thinking of hitting the panel with a hammer where it might be a high spot and making everything low then filling it, I did this on a small section on my other door by mistake and I think I fixed it lol. Is this a bad idea? The other thing is with guidecoat, whether it's the powder or spray, after I sand all the guide coat off, it doesn't reveal anything for me in terms of high spots and low spots and makes it especially hard when it's bare metal (at least in powdered form), am I doing something wrong here, or likely a high spot I keep going over and creating valleys? Lastly, stupid question but, is it possible that after sanding if I only sand over the filler area where I know to be a dent that it's impossible for me to dig into that dent? Unless there are other problems which I missed.
