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.

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
