two times today, i got cut off by a clown in a citroen. These are always older drivers, and they think just because they own a french built car, they automaticaly have the right to be typically arrogant to other road users, and today wasnt the first time either. :(

Im amazed those citroens and older peugots are still driving around in one piece, the're shocking design quality shouldnt have enabled them to release these vehicles out of the factory, they have nothing to lose by hitting other cars.

Sorry about the rant, guys please take care when passing a citroen, they are usually in the right hand lane, going minimum 10k's under the limit.

;):):)

The newer ones are good quality though aren't they?

I'm not sure about people who drive french cars but I hate people who go slow in the right lane. Some people think that cos they are doing 111kph and the other traffic is doing 110 they have a right to sit in the fast lane. Its a fast lane. Your supposed to be speeding. Its for people like me with 10 points left to loose. Or others with less points who like to live on the edge.

Sorry about my rant. But it gives me the sh1ts especially since I gotta go up the freeway to get to work. Pain in the arse when I'm running late and some wanker is puttin along in the fast lane.

Not necessarily, my sister drives an 02 citroen xsara 'sportif' :lol:

It's a joke of a car, no more than 3 years old and it's already got so many problems, even though it gets serviced regularly.

Seems like it's only one person. Good to see other SAU members have taken the correct stance!

Take it easy. Show some sort of maturity, and chill.

There are shit drivers in all cars. Funnily enough I find that a shitload of them are young drivers in Skylines.

maturity? as mature as the 70 year old c**t who ran me off the road yesterday arvo and caused me lock up me front wheels, almost f**king them up?

He didnt even see what he done! just kept going. I dont care how old he was, if he was standing in front of me i would have broken his hip!!

old people should be tested regualry to see if they can:

1: actually see the road and other cars

2: think and react quick enough in an emregency

3: TURN THEIR FREAKING HEADS TO SEE IF THERE IS A CAR NEXT TO THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I agree that our licensing should be more rigorously tested, both initially and on an ongoing basis (say every 2 years)

hey all,

i got a mate who works at nissan/renault,  who says they're the biggest buckets of shit on the road, not to mention the ugliest, the new ones just look wrong.

loved the pics of that clio sport burning. thanks for the wallpaper...

well he must know then. working at nissan/renault and all he's likely to know everything...

well i'm just passing on what i've been told. he is the one who has to pull them apart and put em back together. apparently the windscreen wipers spin the wrong way, the indicator/wiper stalks are on the wrong side and just little stupid things like that, yes i know it is european, but every other company changes these before selling them

well he must know then. working at nissan/renault and all he's likely to know everything...

...my brother's, cousin's, uncle's, dad works for Ferrari and he reckons they are crappy. He now hates the colour red forever.

Co-incidence?

Strange ... Poeple that live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones you know

Ask most drivers on the road and they'll say the biggest d!ckheads out there drive 4wds and crapanesse imports .... Usually some little kid driving trying in vain to prove there faster than everyone else on the road. They do keep neon companies and blow off valve companies in business though (even when it's not turbo'd :P :lol: )

The most unreliable car we have ever had in the family was an old skyline ... spent more time having diffs and work done to it..... On the plus side they handle so poorly most of 'em seem to end up wrapped around a variety of trees and power poles ... Just as well they seem to crash well, 'cos there'd be lots of brainless kids and men going through mid aged crisis's out there killing themselves :D:(

I must admit, I'm extremelly impressed ... You did spell Citroen and Peugeot correctly ... even I would have stuggled doing that ... I can tell your a closet enthusiest that's dying to get one ... Maybe oneday, if your really lucky you'll own one :)

seeya,

Shane L.

    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
    • The video for the servicing and fuel filter change can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44 One of the main jobs I wanted to do before the car officially went on the road, was to remove the awful looking blue silicone hoses. There's nothing wrong with having coloured silicone hoses, but I realise as I'm getting older I prefer monotone engine bays with a splash of colour on the engine cover(s). I cover this in a lot more detail in the Youtube video, so unfortunately there's limited photos of the process. The intercooler, upper radiator, boost vacuum and upper breather hoses were all changed to black silicone with mikalor clamps. The only blue left is a blanking cap at the back of the inlet manifold and the GReddy pulleys (which will be replaced for stock when the cambelt gets replaced) While the intercooler pipes were off I gave them a quick clean/polish too A before photo I do have a replacement air filter on its way. Fuse box covers were painted blue, they're now satin black Another job on the list while the bumper was off, is to add some mesh https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737966256_99b28bfa30_c.jpg[/img] I was hoping to use some thin wire to secure it, but it seems I've misplaced it and the wire I had was too thick to twist easily. I ended up using cable ties for the time being https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737131882_c2b7989dcc_c.jpg[/img] Was pleasant to see this https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737131627_8b2aab13b3_c.jpg[/img] The last thing to do was to fix the front grill and re-mesh that to match but I ran out of time The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4FsF6tgizE&t=23s
