i get a lot of satisfaction watching those riced up lancers etc. rev thier engines and burn off the lights while me and my mates sit in the 'line pointing and laughing at them. only to drive off perfectly normal after we have had a good laugh and the dikhead infront has just brocken the speed limit hopefully right near a camera

rofl, like someone else said its apart of owning an import or maybe just a nice car.

You can tell if the person just wants u to give it shit, so they can see u fly or if they think they can race ya and win ROFL!

happens all the time to me; its funny as hell- at the lights, stock vx holden next to me p plater, light goes green he screams away and i take off like like normal ROFL!

it isnt a chop if the other person isnt racing ROFL!

I hate it when you rip them to the speed limit then the fly past you well over the speed limit...about 10 seconds later  :lol: Then they think they owned you! I had a excel dude going crazy the other day, passed me at about 110 in a 60 zone then got caught at the lights leading into a 100 zone. I lined up behind him light goes green, I go out around him smashing him to 100 and then keep it at 100..much later he flys past with a triumphant look on his face..total looser I was thinking dude I was behind you then passed you then smashed you by 100 meters or more to 100 yet some how you feel satisfied. Thats when I learned that it doesnt matter what you do they will find some way of thinking that they won so ow I dont even bother.

Yeah and you get the impression they rush home to post "I just dusted a R33" thread on some hyundai forums.... :lol: :lol: :lol:

I had a older bogan in his HZ V8 harrase me years ago.

He came out of no where and sat so close up my arse that I couldn't see his wiper blades, he did this for a good 5km's.

3 lane road, 1 set of red lights. Not sure what his problem was, the V8 had quite a lumpy cam in it, he stared over at me while he reved the crap out of the v8, body twitching and all.

I thought bugger it, I'll punch it to the speed limit. 5secs and 100km/h later I dropped it straight from 2nd in to 5th waiting... a few seconds later he did the loosers flybye, by this time he had some serious speed.

I watched him rail around a long sweeping bend, he was going so quick by this stage I thought the arse end of his car was going to step out.

As I came out of the sweeping bend on to the straight I saw him in the distance, an easy 500m+ away swerving to miss a 4wd + trailer that pulled out in front of him.

As he swerved around the 4wd his right rear wheel clipped the medium strip that sent him on a 100m (I measured the black lines) slide, he came to rest on the medium strip with a tree branch over his bonnet. Friggin idiot.

Pretty damn close to be honest, if he was to kill some one, no doubt I would have been partially liable some how. Definitely a wake up call.

Goes to show, simply punting it up to the speed limit to have these other goobers hold it down can get yourself in a lot of trouble.

I gave him a toot as I drove past at 20km/h. At that time he was smashing his steering wheel with his fist. lol

Well this happens in Canada also... the funniest time was on a 70km/h highway, I was going 100 which is the speed everyone goes on that Highway as 70 is riduculous and everybody knows it...

anyways so i'm going 100 in 5th gear going by slowy with my GF and there's this VW de-badged golf next to me accelerating decelerating like 3 times ...

(so being in the left lane) and him driving in the middle lane( cars here are LHD) I finally pull down my window, he ask:" yooo so does this thing fly??!" so I say:"well yeah kinda" ...

without saying anything else he immediatly floors it to probably 140-150 and zigzags through lite traffic ... I just started laughing as I didn't even accelerate a km/h

anyways I kinda got scared when I saw him swerve from right lane to left maybe 300m in front .. stoopid ..

but here in Montreal the skyline is very rare ... we have like 4 in a city of 3 million peaople, so kinda rare and it happens quite often

lol i like lancer hate. theyre crap. fair enough, EVOs are f'ing quick but all other lancers are shit...the drivers dont get it. Its a girls car, theyre slow and ugly and an excel can beat them. idiots. They go putting Greddy and Apexi stickers down the door...gay shopping list on a non performance car...wtf ?

I was recently on cnr of Anzac Hwy & South rd and saw an Excell in with a big nismo sticker on the rear window.

I think it I had of been going the same direction I would have thrown something heavy at his car just on principle.

So far I've been smoked by a civic gli, a pulsar sss (riced), integra (riced) and some crx wannabe 4wd thing.

Must be cos my car looks like a done up camry all the young blokes who spent more money on their cars fibreglass and stereos than the car itself want to prove something.

Must be a penis deficiency thing.

it gets rather annoying bur funny....

driving home last night minding my own business not doing anything..... commodore pulls up next to me.. lights change and commodore guns it off..... full of young bogans all laughing... few more sets of lights and i didnt do shit.... finally they gave me the shits.... gave it a hit in 1st... and that was it otherwise they would have run into a parked car... scared the shit out of them with the turbo noise and they didnt do anything anymore....

normally.. i tend not to do anything.. it's just not worth the petrol..

until the other night heading home had a spankin new Audi S6 4.2L having a go.. was the best fun i've had in a while.. some 50+ yr old guy havin a good time.. that's about it though.. otherwise I just cruise along.. get to the lights.. zip past in the outer lane.. and continue on my way..

in canberra, its d*ckheads in commodores who think they got "something to prove". sorry to say guys, but you aint driving at bathurst, you dont own a v8 supercar, and you aint mark skaife!

i hate it when they sit next to you at the lights, a distorting subwoofer thumping and looking across at you revving their car, trying to impress the girl in the passenger seat. its not worth loosing your car over either, if you get caught, cause lets face it, he aint gonna get caught because, he'll be too far behind!

these are the people who give others like us a bad name.

What am I doing wrong guys? Noone ever wants to race me at the lights :D

haha, coz they know they'd lose for sure and wouldnt wanna risk the massive humiliation of putting a shitbox excel/lancer against an R34 GTR :lol:

It might just be me, but I'm finding increasingly its young woman that are the most aggressive: last week it was some girl in a Daewoo Nubira stationwagon. I also get the usual WRX owners with their rediculous BOVs wanting to race.

I tend not to venture out at night though so I think I miss the worst of it.

oh dont get me wrong, i know how shit excels are, thats exactly my point lol. and yeh i have seen a silvia before with a TRD sticker lol

Hmm, as a Commodore owner, i see it the other way. Im driving around, and its as if "p plates + commodore = race". Every wanker in their VN V8 Exec wants a go. As if theyre original. I mean they sound good, but they're probably the worst capacity to power engines ever made, at least EFI ones anyway.

And it does work the other way. I cant remember the amount of guys in their (usually) NA R33 wanting a race because they think they are some kind of import champion. And NA Skylines arent all that fast...

But i think that WRX owners are the wort. They must think they are some kind of WRC champ, because they spool their engines and tear off, whilst i leave the lights in 1st, changing at about 2.5k

I was soooo disappointed when I ran against a VN V8. I was so happy to be racing my first V8. My car is an almost stock R32 GTS-T and I absolutely destroyed the commodore... I was hoping for a close race.

I am still yet to have a good race in my car. It's either destroy (civics, lancers etc) or be destroyed (GTR, Supra etc).

Maybe I just need to modify my car to be competitive with the big guns to get a good race since my car's performance seems to be in no mans land...

As a completely different car owner.... a corolla on my P's...

I like nothing better than to see an import rev it up and take off quick.

I would love to get an import but can't afford one, and the way I see it is like this...

You have a nice car people will be curious, inquizitive and wanting to race you... that's part of the game and will never change.

You can either choose to be pissed off and swear out loud at people who think they can smoke you - or you can simply be satisfied with knowing that you don't need to prove anything.

    • For DBA, check out their guide table here. https://dba.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Direct_Replacement-Guide-2021.2.pdf   Additionally they have some other guides and info on how to make sure you choose the right pad.
    • Sorry, just assumed that talk of coloured pads meant EBC red/green/yellow/shit stuff. I don't know the DBA pads, but it's a reasonable bet that they will be OK. DBA make good stuff generally. Those 4000 series rotors I linked to are very good. I may well replace the RDA rotors I have with those when required.
    • The average previous owner for these cars were basically S-chassis owners in the US. Teenagers or teenager-adjacent. I often tell people that neglect is easier to fix than something that was actively "repaired" by previous owners.
    • 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.
