how are manuals worth more than autos?
The Bogan replied to Grayz's topic in General Automotive Discussion
My millennials don't, my millennials get cars bought for them. Bloody kids. Imagine all the, holidays with the Mrs, all the cool cars and bikes I could have if I stopped feeding, clothing and supporting my 3 financial burdens. In other news.....a guy at work got a new Corolla hatch, after taking it for a spin, and thinking how comfortable and nippy the car was, I went into a state of depression, you really know your getting old when a auto Corolla seems like an attractive purchase. -

Don't ever use cheap spacers (or any spacers possibly?)
The Bogan replied to PranK's topic in General Automotive Discussion
Not from me. I've used lots of different "bolt on" spacers, from fleabay to brand name (fleabay items with a brand name painted on them). Never once had an issue. -

R32 Gtr Long Term Love, Now Project
The Bogan replied to r32-25t's topic in Members Cars, Project Overhauls & Restorations
His arse.... Still, from a outsider looking in, he talks the talk, but I haven't seen any slips or natsoft times. Not saying his builds aren't impressive, it's just they have massive holes that let the rest down. It's weird, his S15 is the most under engineered over engineered build I've seen for years. Meh, let me know when you hit the strip, I'll bet a bag of donuts my old $10k VX SS commodore smokes Bokemons S15. And it will do it all night long. Now, where do I put this dirty spoon....? -
MLR's Bogan cruise ship
The Bogan replied to The Bogan's topic in Members Cars, Project Overhauls & Restorations
From these, didn't like 19" ride quality To these, which fell out of favour when after multiple times to balance, from multiple shops they still vibrated over 100 kph. Long story short is they aren't built well. To these, kicking it OEM, 17 x 8 with 245/45 RE003's. Ride quality is awesomeballs, the 245 17", as opposed to the 275 19" do lack some grip when going from idle to WOT. Bonus is the 245/45 17 are cheap to replace... Actually finding clean, un-guttered 2002 VX SS OEM wheels was a PITA, and they ended up costing me....$700......yeap........$700.....LOLOLOLOLIMAIDIOTLOLOLOL I did find new ones to, they were only $1000 a rim.....WTFF At this stage the thing is basically 100% stock looking. LOLOLOLOLOL In other news, fitted some Vanes and Hines slip on pipes to the "Bogan luxury yacht". It now is possibly too loud, I knew I should have ordered the comp BD killers, meh, job for later. Until then it will just be another overly loud Harley. -
Are newer cars worth owning and keeping?
The Bogan replied to Leroy Peterson's topic in General Automotive Discussion
Polls are hard. If by new car you mean stock new sporty car for $40-80 k I would say yes, compared to anything from yore they are worlds ahead. But, if your budget is lower, than that, then maybe you might be better of with something old, but, what "good" car are people talking about, everything from the 90's that is good will cost a fortune, and the cheap ones, well, I don't drive around in drift pig type cars, I had cheap shit cars when I was a kid. That's when your lifestyle, the amount of compromise and risk you will accept, and expectations come in to it. Older cars may have more soul, but they are typically rubbish by todays standards. And then you go out and throw commonsense into the wind and purchase with your heart. Stupid cars and stuff.
