I went to Harbat erlier in the week, seems every 2nd car has chromes on it

I dont mind a car that has a decent set of wheels on it because in my opinion a good set of wheels makes a car. However when people decide to stick GT wings and crazy bodykits that really just scream of rice boy then that annoys me!

I really cannot stand holden commodore or Ford drivers. The newer model drivers are fine but the older model drivers act like real morons on the road and it's no wonder they're lowering the speed limits due to these hacks.

Back when I had my Lancer they would always try and get me revved up to have a drag race at the lights. I would always just sit there with a silly look on my face trying to reflect the "get a life you idiot" look to them.

Hmm yes end of rant, lol.

I nice set a rims on a a rust bucket doesn't make it a good car........say you put a set of brand new set of 18'simmons on a rusted out, dented, broken tail lights, standard ride height gemini (sorry if anyone owns a nice neat gemin) doesn't make it cool or any faster just makes it look stupid!

Agreed. I wasn't really thinking along those lines because I dont think anyone who owns such a bummy vehicle could afford such tasty mags. I'm thinking of the few cars that get about that dont try and pretend to be something they're not...but just have a nice set of mags on to make it look presentable.

but you can always take a neat car and slap a set or over cromed wheels on in in a huge size and it could look so stupid (bubble barinas with 18 inch mags)!

That's true it all comes down to taste. That's why a "good" set of wheels make a car in my opinion. I'm not saying a good set has to be chrome either.

hhmm, i think Yellow skylines owned by pizza store ppl, haha just playin

i would have to say OLDER cars with Exterior mods that are supposed to make the car look newer oh and faster. eg gemini with 5 spoke rims hahaha funny ppl

ppl are starting to generlise on this post (me included) i reckon get back to baggin specific cars personally but hey im full of sh*t!

lata

how true. tiny 'mums' cars with huge rims have to shit you to tears especially when they think a set of rims make it faster. hahaha.

The only reason it'd be faster would be due to speedo error from incorrect wheel size!

:confused:

I can think of better things to spend my money on than rims. $2k+ fr wheels, give me performance mods any day of the week. I dont care how fast a set of wheels make my car look :werd:

Whats wrong with a hotted up gemmi??? Lol! everything!!!

sad thing is there is so many old bombs getting round with rims worth 5 times the car... i see it every day cos the Housing Commission building is opposite my work and they all pull up in their XF and VK commo's with loud zorsts not a single panel the same colour or with out a dent but with big rims and fat tyres. Shaz, Keithy and the kids Jaydon, Shapelle (sorry to any fans) and Shaniah all in the car with their big dog (which eats better than them) and Shaz smokes a pack of smokes while waiting for Keithy to come back out without having to pay their susidised rent cos they reckon they have no money.

not baggin out VK's with simmons are we timmy? LOL, my opinion, a set of nice wheels on a straight car turns heads. And i own a old car but would never put a new style wheel on my car, Blue HJ panel with like 17" five spokes, bad! :uh-huh:

Exactly what I was trying to say too!

I saw that excel with all the stickers down the doors last night and I saw a for sale sign on it! it was sooooooooo cool I wonder why he is selling it???????

Proably has been reading all this and realised :chairshot

i resent the commo abuse :cheers:

i drive a white VH Commodore, its only got 15" ROH alloys and standard tyres. And im pretty far off being a DAZZA!. But i aggree, and hate the wankers in the VK's and VL's that try and drag me everytime i pull up at the lights. Im aiming at getting a nice R31 at some point, but for now im pov and drive my commy, with my p-plates up....

I hate little ricers in thier corolla's and stuff, with the cannons, body kits and 17" rims, it is verry sad... Its different thow if its a girl and doesnt have wanky rice... like that Yellow pulsar getting around with the blue rimmed mags, she's a mate of mine, and it doesnt look tooo bad.

haha the poor bugger. I mean really how would you feel if you saw that your pride and dream was being bagged out by people you didn't even know knew of your car!

hahaha...it's hilarious!

Yeah bit of a :chairshot to the owner.

But maybe he just got a reality check and decided to buy something else...

You never know he might be going to get a fully sick bombadoore :jump:

I recon to much HP, those Alpine stickers must give him adleast 100hp each at the wheels.

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
