Hey,

Just thought I'd post some pics of a 'sporty' looking car I saw at uni this week. From a far I saw the bonnet scoop and thought it may have been a civic sedan (which would be funny anyway), however as I approached it I saw the well respected KIA badge on the front. Sarcasm aside, this would have to be one of the more pointless mods I've ever seen on a car (my mate has a KIA and we always make jokes about how he should invest in a kit - little did I know KIA kits even existed!!).

Has anyone else seen any outrageously bad/unnecessary mods to similar cars? I remember seeing another person driving around uni with a civic where the only mods were fluro mud flaps.

Anyway, hope you find some humour in the attached pics and apologies for the bad quality - they were taken on my phone camera.

Cheers

EDIT: Removed plates!

I saw a car today that made me physically sick...

It was a lime green metallic VN Commodore, some kind of lower bodykit and a GT wing on the boot

The GT wing and portions of the bodykit were painted bright purple as well as the window surrounds.

It had a stock ride height and 15 inch mags

What an atrophy...

I remember sometime ago they did release a limited run of this blue wrx lookalike model. So I believe the way that KIA looks is how it came from the factory, correct me if I'm wrong.

Unfortunate for the owner, he/she not only paid to get a lookalike WRX but also the attention of being laughed at.

Yeah, used to be one parker in the shopping centre at my local shops (yes, IN they have some shop set up with a few cars there, pretty dumb idea. CAN I TAKE IT FOR A TEST DRIVE MATE?) anyways, a crummy blue one like that featured there for a while... my mates and i always had a good laugh at it on the way to Coles. :P

Seen 2 "fooley seeck" holden astras.

A dark red one with a weird bodykit, mesh grille, fartcan exhaust and chrome wheels.

Another blue one which had a fartcan, chrome wheels and 2 (yes 2!) spoilers. One on top of the other.

Both drived by people on p plates with cappa jackets and fubu caps

Saw an old late 80s or possibly early 90s Falcon GLi (square-ish shape) with a tail light black plastic insert to create an illusion of Skyline's 4 round tail lights.... LOL hahaha.

Last seen @ McDonalds Clifton Hill, seen it around there 2nd time already, so could be someone who lives/works in the area.

Untill you've seen an excel that has pink interior, body kit with some sort of spaztic plane wing that moulds into the back of the car, fully sick sports zorst that sounds like one of those wet farts that dribble and the portions of the body kit that are not stardard are painted in blue, you have seen nothing!!! :bonk:

i saw something in a car mag here that beats the daewoo :)

a peugot 106 with bodykit, mags, paint, wing, etc.........NO speed enhancing mods, but they still put a racing harness in it ;) infact with all the extra weight. a stock model would run faster........remember this is a 1.6L engine so they didnt really need a racing harness :headbang:

oh and this was the feature car for this mag, not a piss take..............

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Yes I can see how that would put you off HFM, especially with the price of good quality brake fluid. From what I understand it as you say the BM50 is the standard BMC for a R32 GTR, I must admit I would like to go far a Genuine Nissan BM57, but lack of cash prevents that at present. With the price being so close between the genuine BM50 and BM57 a BM57 New it seems a better choice as you gain that 1/16 bore size with the BM57, I would be interested in how much difference you feel with the BM57 fitted. I am going to take SteveL's advice in the short term and see how much actually comes out of that proportioning valve vent and save up for the Genuine Nissan part. Thanks for clarifying the HFM failure

      Thanks mate. I just got the post inspection 1/2 done from state roads when the starter motor packed up, either that or the car alarm system is having trouble.  OEM part number 23300-AA112.

      Starter motor replacment teeth count.

      By oHBoy. · Posted

      Hi, I though I was coming to an end in finding a replacement starter motor for a rb25de neo. I came across a starter motor from Taarks and a message below stating: Direct fit. 11 Tooth count. All below part numbers have been superseded to 11 teeth. Can some body shed some light on going from 8 teeth to 11 teeth apart from 36-month / 25,000 km warranty for passenger vehicles to 12 Month Warranty. Compatible with the following Nissan part numbers: 23300-20P00 23300-20P01 23300-20P05 23300-20P10 23300-20P11 23300-AA111 23300-AA112 23300-AA300 23300-08U10 23300-08U11 23300-08U15

      J50 clock date suddenly reset to January 1

      Low battery? Maybe check capacity? I know first-hand, on BMWs if your battery drops below 80% capacity, it starts causing strange issues.

      8.5 +37 = should fit rear, but I think it'll hit on front. What you want is low 30s/high 20's front, mid 30's rear. That 17" screenshot you posted looks good, I'd run it on my R32 (but that's long dead now). For tyre sizes, my rule of thumb is: 8': 235, 9": 255. But that's just my opinion. Nismo sizes: 18x8.5+35/18x9.5+38 is a good starting point.
