you know... esther's twin might not be identical... or female. FFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUU

in kris' absence in this highly rivetting intellectual conversation, I'd suggest he'd reply with something like:

kris, you fail at e-thug penis comparisons... i thought years of experience of givin me shit woulda come through, but alas. lol OK point conceded. kris, your car out accelerates mine due to suspension. altho i suspect it might have something to do with the extra 80kw and 100kg less... and being sunkist orange.

lol see my r32 actually runs 255's with no stretch on factory GTR rims, my spring rates are 12kg and 10kg front n back with matched shocks (no coilovers), which gets rid of some of the nasty arse squat and lateral sway. then there's the underbody bracing, the welded in square tubing, the passenger foot well cross brace and the strut braces, which should improve the rigidity, factor in the adjustable upper and lower control arms, castor and toe arms which let me dial in just the right alignment for max grip... and I'd dare say my car would handle a LOT better than yours, even with the AWD bits weighing it down up front. I don't need to handle 280rwkw, i just enjoy feeling like i'm driving on rails with 200awkw. My shit slow ceffy on the other hand, scrapes rails on manhole covers and cat's eyes and runs moderate stretch (225's on 10" is nothing revolutionary, and its still within the specifications of the manufacturer)... will I ever race it or dyno it? don't hold your breath.

say no to teh zap paul

boser pressed metal hood extension is about $500 including shipping from the US/europe (doubt anyone locally stocks it). hella headlights are about $300 new? you can buy full hoods in fibreglass that have the boser look, but they suck at lining up with headlights etc from what I've seen. best bet is to go all metal and custom weld it to get that mm accurate lines. roll guards, repaint hood, 18" wheels, coilovers and you're good to go. MK4 golf is about 9K-ish secondhand. so all up for 13k I'd end up with a badass daily that costs next to nothing to run. Gonna wait for the new Mercedes B Class to come in, means more yuppies will trade up and golf prices will go down. the way I see it 5.7L V8 that runs on dinosaur fossil smoothies while ripping holes in ozones as it drives along has to be offset by something cheap to run every day. yeah cos a 2.0L diesel's a high performance car n all. i love your book, especially the chapters on homo paint jobs, fail suspension and fail fitment. lol glad the new edition of the book at least has epic power.

that's called the "boser" look. you can actually buy a piece of preformed metal that lines up with the factory bonnet, weld it on and repaint it, and you end up with a factory looking bonnet in all metal like it was meant to be there. headlights are made by Hella, who make the factory headlights, so they fit 100% as well, cos they might as well be genuine. euro modification market is centuries ahead of japanese fibreglass shit. lol almost feel like doing a boser R32 skyline using a GTS bonnet

boser front for mk4 is where its at... combine it with good fitment and simple kit slammed low and it just works wonders. simple but awesome. I work in Camberwell.

classy. chop, bend and reglass. that way if you ever clip the sideskirt on a kerb, then your guards aren't gonna crack from the flex.

I'm actually thinking golf diesel with a boser facelift and good fitment for daily... like so: 6L per 100km, a car made in the 2000's instead of an almost 20 year old shitbox, etc etc. not really worried about defects n cop attention, so meh.

dunno how much i'd sell it for... probably 8k with all the mods. altho atm i'm liking the idea of fixing it up and driving it, cos I just renewed rego for another 12 months last week. s14 hasn't seen a track for over a year n a bit, but before that, yeah.

find any shop that deals with simmons 3 piece wheels, and they should be able to do the job for you.

is your sideskirt and fenders all blended together into one piece?

started off as daily cos I had the s14 for track... but then i took the ceffy off my dad after the accident and rebuilt it, so that became the daily and the 32 was supposed to be my balls out weekender... but then i moved to brissy and it lived in my garage for a year untouched... and then when i got back i decided to buy the camaro... so the idea is to sell the 32 and the ceffy, keep the s14 for track, camaro for weekend and buy a golf for daily. so now i have a 32, ceffy and s14 in the garage, and I drive my mate's maxima to work cos its more fuel efficient than the others and has aircon n a decent stereo. think i'm just gettin old.

thinking of getting rid of those shithouse empire aero front fenders and replacing with GTR fenders. fucking hell, why am I so addicted to modding the 32 when I wanna sell it?

offset nazi raptors?

I think we need an "offset police" badge.

haha i think the same thought i had just went through alex's head.

hells no. if you're not dating her no present. you'll come off as corny/desperate or make her feel bad for not gettin something for you. paying for dinner/movies is enough, and if she's smart enough will appreciate it. if you've been goin out for a while then present is fine, if not... gtfo. flowers might be better... no obligations for her to reciprocate.

updated post... see above

drove the 32 out of the garage, around the block and behind the ceffy so I could work on it. dunno why, but i just bought a set of wheels for the 32. 18x8.5" +3 and 18x9.5"+0. dammit. I'm supposed to be selling this bucket of hopes n dreams held together by zipties. BIM Driftmasters... http://www.neweraparts.com/Default.aspx?ta...p;ProductID=818

not really, but we try and do it to manufacturer spec (or at least whatever it was before disassembly).
