Here we go boys and girls, the perfect opportunity to pay out on the clowns doing the block in your respective city.

What's your favourite (read the worst car) you see doing the block?

My favourites are.

A beige Corolla SE hatch, WRX scoop and bonnet vents, big 18"chromies, rowdy exhaust and a loud stereo. Yep, all those mods turn a granny car into a genuine performance car don't they! :wassup:

Any Excel with a body kit, particularly the ones with the big Cobra stripes!

Sorry kids but if you are going to throw money at a car why not start with a credible car to begin with?

The Alpine Excell from Launceston. It's got a mega huge Alpine sticker down each side of the car, the stickers down the door (blitz..etc) ,a 10" rice cannon, and a blindmans tacho.

We should take pics and make it a rice hunter thread (and by rice i mean any car with usless external mods)

Definitely da little turbo things buzzing round........lika da ET lasers.......I av seen dudes drivin deez rice burners man.......they fit da huge blow off valves to em........only problem iz dat they are so pathetically powerless dat they barely have enough a da pressure to open upa da blow off valves man!!!!!........soundza real poor man...real poor!!!!..............fizzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz :wassup:

hmmmm i have an ET and dont run the BOV is that a problem for ya? 105kw atw with only 900kgs to haul about makes it pretty quick for a 21year old FWD car....and if u actually knew anything u wouldnt be sayin ET laser its actually a Nissan Pulsar not a ford or mazda

That excel with the alpine sticker is sik man its hell Fast ....bwahaahhahahahahahahaahhaahhahhahahahahahaaha he is always tryin to razz someone

just anything that p plater's think are race cars, don't mean to cop out on the p plater's but I swear they're just getting worse all the time...

I totally agree. As a p plater myself I wish to apologise on their behalf.

...Anyways...I always see this hyundai excel with a bonnet scoop and custom bodykit...what's even funnier is that it has a baby capsule in it. Oh and I know a guy with a non-turbo silvia which has a bodykit with normal rims and exhaust...looks so lame...and non-turbo supras which have huge exhausts....it's like trying to sugarcoat shit and trying to claim it as chocolate

got to love all the all show no go cars going around lonnie!!! Some of the lancers and crap with clear rear lights stickers, dumb personal plates realy look sh!t! The orange excel with the stupid body kit and stripes and crap takes the cake for the crapest car ....well any excel for that mater with a whale tale wing!

And the cars with all the stickers down the doors for turbo bits and pieces,..... and the car is NA!

RICE, RICE baby!

my bros wheels are rice as also!!!!!!

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
