  1. I can lend you a stock one temporarily if thats what you need.
  2. Not too mention a car with 5 people in in will be slower than a car with 2 people in it. LOL. Completely beside the point i know Glad im off my P's these days.
  3. Or just stupuid shit like holding up traffic driving in all 3 lanes next to each other. Not to mention looking at your mates driving beside you rather that at the road.
  4. Not trying to be a smart ass, but make sure you run a spell check before sending in your resume/application.
  5. Red with gold rims looks sweet. However, that spoiler needs to go or be changed, badly!
  6. There are several things wrong with P Plate laws that are in place and they are proposing. The limit to one peer passanger is a bit stupid. I dont think it will help anything. How about when they are going to a party or a club and you have a designated driver. Rather than 1 out of 5 not being able to drink, every second person wont be able to. And while some will see this as a positive, I believe its more likely to increase drink driving. On top of that, when you have 10 friends leaving a club, whats more dangerous? 10 people between 2 cars, or 10 people between 5 cars. I think it will cause more problems than it fixes and really punishes those who dont do anything "hoonish" and actually obey road laws. I still think the power per tonne rule was good. And on top of this, it should be able to be proven. An old V8 may not run anywhere near what it used to with 400,000+ k's. And be well under the limit. Something where people could drive these cars if they have proven its below power to weight limit. They should have official testing and a document p platers could carry to prove this. If a P plater either needs to drive one of these cars (EG: its the only car available to them, they cant afford one and this was passed down by parents; or simply they like a different style of car), they will be more than happy to get these cars tested to prove what pwoer output they make. They simply didnt want to take that route so its much easier for them to write off any V8's, turbo cars, etc. There are a lot of different views and ways you can look at these laws. In the end it comes down to a few major points in my opinon. 1) P Platers should have a power limit on their cars. 2) More P Platers on the road = more likely for accidents. New laws will increase P plate cars on the road. 3) More driver training and education should be started. Not just see if they can pass a test. But also make them do a course, like the AAMI driving course. Explain to them about tyres and grip on the road, explain aqua planeing, let them see how their car breaks in an emergency and just how much distance they need to leave.
  7. Series 1 R33's dont come with airbags from memory, but yours is a series 1, so now im damn confused. I thought that Airbags and ABS were introduced with series 2 R33's. I must be wrong though.
  8. Haha, I wonder why
  9. If you pass an EPA with a silencer in, youll have to weld the silencer to the exhaust so it can no longer be removed. One of the conditions of the EPA. Im sure its been mentioned already somewhere though.
  10. And gives nice black eyes. Bloody hell they hurt I tell you. Been hit by a passanger side one, had a black eye for a good 3 weeks, including constant headaches and dizyness. Ive now got a permanent shadow under the eye that copped the impact. But who knows what may have happened without it.
  11. Yeah, may catch up with you, ill pm you if I get a chance, have a pretty hectic schedule. Dont put it aside for me though, im still not sure if ill take it. With this though, you have legally have a pod and a front mount as the pod is housed, correct?
  12. Any other parts required to fit it that you know of? Does it just fit straight in to any R33 gtst? Anyone know? Im assuming this will obviously work better than the standard airbox. Is it designed to house a pod filter? Or is it a complete unit.
  13. I drove into the court at 7:30 to check the turnout. I was intending on coming but plans changed so I just drove by. Everyone standing their watched as I drove in, was pretty funny to see, everyone expecting me to pull over. Pity I couldnt stay.
  14. This will be huge, hope its a big court
  15. Kinda happy I went last night at this point in time. Not looking good for tonight =/
  16. Car wash is at the servo on the corner.
  17. Caught up with Jamie last night, Ended up just chilling out and having a good chat as I had finished my car by the time he arrived. Maybe ill try swing down tonight just for social reasons.
  18. Theres no sign of rain, so im gonna head down. Ill see whoever rocks up there.
  19. Ill try be there round 7-7:30. If its raining though I wont show.
  20. Maybe itll be both nights, no reason why not. Plus if too many are coming itll be way too crowded on one night. I park undercover, so I may head down tonight. However im available for either. Those interested vote either: Today: Thursday: Either: And we can do a quick tally.
  21. Yeah, its close enough to Rowville. Weather pending ill try swing down on Thursday night too. I may get there a bit earlier though, around 7 - 7:30ish i think. Need to pickup the gf at 9:30.
  22. My mate had a similar situation. For a combination of a few different driving offences, he lost his license for a total of 18 months. Pretty bad I know. However, thats not the point. He went and got his license back at the end of the 18 months and started driving. After he had it back for a couple of weeks (mid 2007), vicroads sent him a letter saying he lost more than 5 demerit points back in 2005 and they are going to suspend it for several more months. He only got it back late 2007. But it seems they can pull up issues from the past. He had already been punished for the points he had lost, as they contributed to the 18 month ban. Howver it seems they only punished him with one method, and that there are multiple punishments available for these situations. He just copped more than one.
  23. Haha, I have a HKS SSQV as well. Some people love it, others hate it. But when youre driving through mount dandenong late a night on a cruise, everyone can hear it. But that car looks mint mate. COngrats on the new purchase. And that should be plenty of power for road use.
  24. Thats a nice big carwash too. However it is looking like rain today and tomorrow, hopefully weatherman is wrong.
  25. Sounds awesome, Ill see if I can make it to now that the gf is working late shifts. Stock dyno runs
