hey guys looking at buying some good dvds,

That's pretty vague :( . I assume you mean car related or tuning related DVDs? Or do you mean movie DVDs? Or pornographic DVDs?

(Of course you want porn, how silly of me!)

When are the Video stores - Blockbuster, VideoEzy etc - going to wake up and hire these out? They'd make a mint! And, sure private sales of these things may drop initially, but when the Import DVD producers realise they have 5000 video stores wanting copies, I'm sure they wn't mind!!!

I've got a few DVD's but I can't afford to spent $40 every time a new one comes out!

How can we get this message thru???

Look for Ignition in your Newsagent, its a full length Oz DVD for $14.95. Best Value I reckon....

Are they any good? I have picked them up in the newsagent so many times but I can never bring myself to risk forking out the cash. $15 seems like a pretty sweet deal...

Thread revival..

Bought HPI v8 for my mates bday recently and Hot Version: RB Japanese muscle for myself.

Got them both from Autobarn tweed heads, $30each.

Hot Version: RB japanese muscle is all about skylines at the start. Has a bit of info about the history of the GTR models with archive footage and then has a selection of some of the ultimate GTR models including Bee Racing R324R Drift Car, HKS R34 Skyline GT-R, Mine's R34 Skyline GT-R and Hosaka R33 Skyline GT-R test driven by Tsuchiya, Orido and Wakisaka around Ebisu East course? I think.

I preferred HPI v8 overall. Lots of drifting, I especially liked the touge runs. And the drags were pretty cool too.

Damn i just saw on http://www.seriousbiz.com.au/ you can get HPI V7+8 for $29.95!

Has anyone watched HPI v9? I would've got it but they didn't have it, it's meant to have HEAPS of drifting in it.

What are some other good ones? I think I prefer the HPI style with more action as opposed to something like Hot Version with a lot of discussion (and subtitles). Tsuchiya is pretty funny though lol.

HPI ten was almost all if not all drifting, isnt that why they started Drift Battle and now they have a Drift Battle DVD out as well. Im not bagging HPI but there is so much more to the Japanese car scene then drift.

If anyones interested you can have it for $25, if you can find it cheaper anywhere i'll match the price. :D

    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
    • Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
    • You just need a different blue slip shop (preferably one you regularly use as a mechanic), and make sure the coil overs are as close as possible to standard height
    • yeah the sugar refining companies were pushing for the same in Oz originally, all fuels were going to have 10% ethanol to make them "cheaper" (noting, that the loss in l/100 might be greater than the decrease in price). I guess they won that fight in Canadia
