i think the guys at holden are happy that they can make their own engine!

steve

Pff, its just a variation of an engine thats already around. As if they'd make their own.

Seriously though, if they named them the way some of you guys wanted it would be Suzuki Slow Shitbox.

Mitsubishi Death Trap

Toyota Poor Handling.

At the end of the day its just a name, and most of us would be looking at the car when buying it.. Not the name.

At the end of the day its just a name, and most of us would be looking at the car when buying it.. Not the name.

So are you saying you would consider buying a "Daewoo shitbox" or a "Mazda Poofmobile" if they were actually released?

I dont care how cheap the "Mazda Poofmobile" is... i aint buyin it :shake:

For those criticising the Spotivo range and similar 'add bodykit and suspension tune' cars, remember these things actually sell and there is a market for cars that are cheap to insure, cheap to buy, cheap to service (ie. they have all the benefits of a mass produced family salon), yet look a little bit better than the stocker.

Sure the names are stupid, but what do you expect? "The Toyota Camry Mildly Sporty"?

There was quite a long article about this in the Drive liftout of the Sydney Morning Herald not long ago.

LW.

Hahahaaa, that's OK, I just a chick in the most gayest, riced - up, piece of crap Mitsubishi Charade with the fattest, most crap body kit, lowered to the sh_t, with Ralliart stickers all over it, try to drag me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Only a **** brain would buy a car and think it goes fast because they have a badge / sticker on it that says something special!!!!!! AAAGGGHHH :P

yeh, those Mitsubishi lancer with Evo body kits on always think themselves are actually drving a Evo, esp those with bolt on turbo~.~ :shake: but they still enjoy drag with u at traffic light even they are far eating smoke behind :Pimp2:

No, I'm saying thats what would happen if thats what you guys wanted them to be honest and not care about sales.

They (car manufacturers) Have to make it sound half reasonable or else nobodies going to buy it.

oh and i also hate how people use the "GT" or "GTR" letter shit cars.

steve

um GT = Grand Touring... it was around loooooooong before the term "GTR" was termed... termed by the Germans as well... not the Japs :D bit of trivia for ya skanky ass :D

Try the Mitsubishi Mum or the Suzuki Afternoon Tea

Whats wrong with the Mitsubishi mum... i think thats a good name. She's a big 500cc mumma, plenty of power on tap with 30 hp. Good looks & aerodynamic design. & She'll always look after you coz she's ya mum. Does your mum have 30 hp? No... i didnt think so.

Since *quite* a few of the Aust. Public are tainted by the idea that performance is based upon and proportional to how many litres an engine has.. perhaps one day much like AMD has done with naming it’s CPU’s virtual speed instead of clock cycles.. the Holden Astra Sri turbo will be rebadged 4L instead of its actual capacity of 2L (since loosely – a standard turbo can be translated into doubling the capacity of the engine). I wouldn’t put it past Holden.. nor the public snapping them up unawares, considering the mount of Camery ‘sports’ I see on the street

:confused: 626 wagon > stagea? wtf please explain

the 80's were pretty good for starting some pretty ghey car models like the mazda 323 shades. should have been the mazda 323 nana can you see a young person with those sick louvres on their car? or the nissan pulsar reebok. nissan must have thought they would sell by association hmm.

    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
