^ agreed. It took me about 2-3 days to get used to it but now can't go back to a single plate or non twin/triple plate clutch. It's just a better drive when driving. It is shithouse for traffic though. If it's a daily driver in peak hour you'll get used to it in no time, but the first time in it is the worst.

I gotta work on the long weekend monday so won't be able to make that week if anyone planned anything. I'm still in for this weekend though. Hope it doesn't rain on sunday.

I went. It was awesome apart from a few things. The first 2 dj's when i got there were pretty crap. THey were the last 2 from the dj comp. Bexta vs archie was pretty crap but had some good tracks played. A bit to hardstyle for me. I think it was dark by design after. He was pretty good with a good mix of harder tracks played. Randy Katana sorta dissapointed me. I thought he would have been more tech trance but ended up beeing all tribal beats and stuff. I thought he would have played the music faster aswell. Steve Hill vs Nervous are always good. THey are probably two of the better hard trance dj's i've heard. They play great uplifting yet hard trance. Awesome set. I left after that though because my friend was driving me home and needed to get up for work in the morning.

How Often Do Your Drive Your Car?
jantolis replied to magpies03's topic in General Automotive Discussion
Depends if i have the money for petrol that week. If i do have the money for petrol then i will drive it during the week. If not then only on weekends. -
Nothing is 100% safe. If i loose it and kill somone then that is 100% my fault unless the person who i hit was doing something illegal at the same time. I said i understand the risks. If you ever go to these street races you will see it's not quite as bad as you make it out to be. You seem to think that there are public cars all the time going back and forth and we race and dodge cars and stuff. I reality there is a security car that comes from behind which everyone sees once every 20 mins or so. When there is a big crowd, you do tend to get idiots there. But i don't worry because it's not me doing the stupid things. I usually also stand behind where they race from. I might post a vid one day of how it is. Don't know why i'm even posting. Your still gonna say that what if something happens stuff and YOU kill someone etc etc etc. I'll probably just say but we try to minimse the risks and say stuff about how nobody is in the area. The only people that are taking the risks are the people that go etc etc etc. This can go on for a while. By the way, i've been to 1 track day and loved it 10x more than street racing. The thing is, i can't afford tyres every time i got out and it costs a hell of alot more. Next year when i finish uni i will probably stop going to street racing because i will hopefully dedicate my car to being a track car. Then i will start saying shit about street racing beeing bad and how they should take it to the track. Man that was driving me insane. For the last hour i've been thinking Varcity Blues or however you spell it.

Thats nice and fast for overseas and the weight and stuff of the parts.

It would be bad if the guy who the cop tried to race lost it then killed someone. Wonder if the cops would still be doing it then. Yeah it probably won't feel good. As i said i can't make wednesdays. I was going to go to the anzac day one but things happened and i ended up just spectating with a friend. How ofter are the bigger events. Yes that is most probably true. I'm just saying that i don't drive like a hoon even though i have a hoon mobile everyday. lol... Man i can't think of what movie thats from now. It's gonna drive me crazy until i can figure it out. Anyway i'm not gonna talk about street racing and me anymore, but as i said above "It would be bad if the guy who the cop tried to race lost it then killed someone. Wonder if the cops would still be doing it then.". If this was told to the public after this event happened i wonder what the general public would be thinking of the police doing this.

Hey stop being racist against us boxes.

What is a pack of excuses??? The fact that i can't get to eastern creek on wednesday night. You don't beleive me about that or that no body gets lost and wanders down the streets people race on??? Thats why there is a car up the other end to flash if someone is coming. If there is a car coming they do get the right of way and everybody does get out of their way. Obviously we all no the risks about street racing. We do try and minimise the risk as much as we can even though it still is dangerous. Even if there are to many cars that are there i won't race. Agree. But more people get killed by things other than street racing on the streets. Funny thing is i actually drive at the speed limit at all other times. I only on very rare occasions give it a boot these days. Don't get me wrong either. I do understand the risks involved and all that but it's fun and exciting and i drive better than most motorists at all other times other than when racing. You would be hard pressed to find someone going look at that hoon racing on the streets during everyday driving.

The thing is, there isn't anything on on the weekends for this sorta stuff usually. I can't make wednesday night meets because of work and the time it takes me to get there most of the time. Saturday nights are much better for that. Street racing is also closer than the 45 hour drive. By the way, i'm not talking about just racing off traffic lights and racing cars in traffic. I'm talking about industrial areas where the roads are straight and everyone there is there for one thing. Nobody from the public just accidently drives down these roads. So nobody innocent is really there.

When i need new plates i'll probably get them from greenline. How long does it take to get to aus????
-
All thats involved is taking a hose off and pulling a little round thing with a hole in it. Not sure what the boost will go to in a gts-t but in a GTR it goes to 14.5psi. This is assuming it's the same in both.

Vehicle With Swapped Engine
jantolis replied to Hellboy's topic in Importing, Compliance, Modification Laws & Regulations
If your dad buys it there and keeps it as his car, after a year aren't you allowed to bring it back without questions(like 15 year rule) if it was your car. -
Pretty much question any car regardless and you should hopefully always minimise the risk of getting a lemon.

Isn't there weekly drifting on friday nights at oren park??? I think i remember somone telling me that. I don't think it's an actuall competition but it's still some dorifto action.
-
Yeah tell me about it beeing addicted to driving it. I still wanna drive the car as much as the first day i got it. That was about 5 months ago.
-
Thanks. Was reading all these threads about high idle, even showing pics of what to do and stuff but had no idea what it stands for.
-
lol... You can never go wrong with a soccer ball. Especially with world cup just around the corner.
-
Could be just your mind. Could be something wrong. Maybe your just used to the power and want more. That has happened to me right now. When i first got my car i thought it was fast. Then i stuffed the clutch and when i got it back i did the cheap mod of taking the restricter out and thought that it was hell quick again. Now i feel slow again. I NEED MORE POWER, AND MORE MONEY. I no it's still just as quick because i raced one of my mates and still beat him and his car is running good.

I got to wollongong uni, but i don't live there.
-
So pretty much don't race xr6t's with p's on the streets.
-
lol.... I love watching things like this happen. When nobody in the public gets hurt of coarse.
