I may or may not be out.

I agree totally guys. It gets to the point where you just think "i'm getting pulled over and abused by the general public for doing nothing, why not make it worth it???" I hate the thought of putting anyone in danger when I drive but to be honest my mum has had a thousand accidents in her stock as a rock commodore and I havent had one in my super dangerous HPI...

An interesting point to note is that on "Australia's Worst Driver" the reality show and infact on all the "worst driver" shows from around the world, there has never been a HPI owner. The drivers are usually clueless middle age people in stocker day to day cars! I think you cause more of a problem if you sit in the left lane of the highway doing 20 kmph under the speed limit than if your in the right lane doing 20kmph over!

I'm sure we all have a rant to rant on this topic but I think my 2 cents is in.

i'm out this friday. am up for hitting the town after aswell.

i watched the same story last night, and almost started a thread about it. i'm very tempted to ask a news crew and a reporter from work to come on the next cruise with us and do a story about us, the young car enthuisasts (yes, this includes you richard!!!!), not the HPI Hoons.

hhhmmmm......sounds like a good name for a DVD!

    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
    • You have a knack for photography my friend. It makes the 86 look like a complete bucket. The 34 went with you to Europe and back. It's special. (we all feel the same about our 'shitboxes' that every bystander seems to absolutely love)
