Hey locals, I was wondering who knows of places that rent cars more interesting than your average commodore, I'm off for a weekend of spirited driving and need to rent something.

like say mx5/mr2/boxster/elise etc etc.

Its called exotic cars smething. Head down punt road and you will see a big sign with a blue diablo near the railway bridge for richmond station.

That price was last year which my friend got and the car had to be brought down from sydney/brisbane if he wanted it.

You cant do fark all km's tho and they charge a shitload for every extra km they do.

Go here for Exotic Cars website: http://www.mxcr.com/ there is a 20% discount mentioned on the front page.

Actually I saw the Lambo first, that will give anyone a thorough chopping on the straights :Oops: I mean the drive

Any other places? Its always nice to play them off against each other :)

my dad hired me a boxster S from the place in richmond.

It cost 300 for 24hrs because my mum got it 1/2 price. But normally its 600 something for a boxster for 1 day and you get to do 200kms.

However I done about 500 and when I took it back the guy didnt make me pay anything extra. Insurance is about 2-3g I think.

The lambo's and ferraris were about 1500 per day, i dont know where you saw 500 from inasnt

    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not  
    • GT-R clearly the better choice! The 300 is certainly not insaly fast but has a decent amount of poke. Does a nice little drift around the corners with a decent amount of throttle. It's VERY predictable in a slide too.  Feels so progressive! People probably presume there's a 25 year old driving it based on my behaviour this week! 🤣
    • Yeah Jap import. Fairlady Z then! I'm a bit the same.  They've been on my radar for a fair while but then just impulsively decided to buy one!  Was going to just buy an NA and add turbos to it later but decided to save the f'ing around and just buy the turbo version. 
    • Thanks mate, well done to you too! Yeah not looking forward to doing any major work to it!
