Do-Luck

I'm in the same boat. I'm 23 soon, and need to renew on the 180. My JCI premium renewal for the next year is $1460, so I want to see if Shannons can match that (considering I hardly drive the car anymore). Plus, like you said, the choice of repairer is something I'd prefer to have control over.

I'll be there...Hopefully James won't rock up in some exotica when I'm eating My Chicken Kiev went cold last time hahah

I'll definately have a chat to this guy. The way I see it, is you can never have too much safety gear in your car, especially in the instance of a roll-over. Good job Troy

I'm down! DT again for me. Gave PI a miss, but not going to let another round go past.

I'll be down. I'm another quarter mile virgin. Matt, I get asked the same thing all the time too

I don't have a say whether or not a 21yo can own a GTR. What are you, his parents?

Engrish?

Quite obviously shows that you are taking the piss...

Haha WTF?

R-SPEC: Yeah, my missus lives just off Lygon St, so it may have been a possibility it was my car. Ray: The cameras that detect your speed point-to-point are on the Hume HWY. The Ring Road cameras are: Greensborough Bound: Boundary Road - Behind the Signs Western HWY - Behind the Signs and on the Exit aswell Keilor Park Dve - Behind the overpass Pascoe Vale Rd - Just before you get into the tunnel Altona Bound: Widford Rd Bridge - Behind the overpass Calder Park Overpass - Hidden up high between the two bridges Western HWY - Just before the exit, hidden behind signs Boundary Road - Behind the Signs

They replaced and installed new camera's on the W.R.R. IIRC there are 4 either direction. Hell, I could probably tell you the locations, I drive it every day.

:lol: Nah I don't, my car has been sitting at home for the past 3 weeks. Went to start it tonight, battery is completely dead. I drive in a work van for a daily

I think it's only the ones on the Hume HWY bypass that snap you over distance. I'd imagine it would be too hard to do the same on the Ring Road, with the variable speed limit.

Loved your lap Brisby, you sure have some talent to keep a that car tamed like that and to get an awesome time to boot

I bigger exhaust system can always pass a noise test, and probably an EPA inspection to, providing its below 90dB at the required RPM, and doesn't go over the level of emissions from the rear of the system.

Like everyone else has stated, you will be pretty hard pressed trying to find a good Jap turbo car for 8k, particularly ones that are 1989 or newer. The only thing that will probably come close is a CA18DET Silvia, or a f**ked 180sx, but they will need a bucketload of work. Same with the R32. You best stretch your budget a little. When I bought my 180sx, I was originally looking at spending around $16-17k, but all the 180's I looked at needed a slight amount of work, whereas the one I bought, was for $19.5k, and haven't had ANY major troubles yet, and it's still going strong. Good luck with whatever you buy though

Some nice eye candy, would have loved to watch them race!

LOL It probably helps if I actually read the thread properly

Yeah, buy abcent's 33. It definitely stands out from the rest.

Fuel prices don't bother me at all, I only fill up the 180 probably monthly. As for the daily, fuel card FTW!

I remember that

I'll be coming down to spectate Anyone wanna give me a passenger lap?

Or get one of those 180 things. I hear they are pretty good

I've had bad experiences with car washes lately One, the indian guy drove it into a gutter, the other time I washed it myself, and got defected in my street on the way home. I might not wash it again lol I haven't even given my car a good check since the F1, might do so tomorrow, just to make sure. I just don't get why some people would bother doing that shit. If only we knew who it was
