  1. Nice call Daz, what did you throw at it?
  2. lol where dat straight out S14 exhaust at
  3. I disagree - deterring genuine buyers with high prices in order to appeal to low ballers / dreamers doesn't scream sound logic to me The sellers control the commodity price and the buyers determine if it changes hands, and unlike Cobra replicas these are changing hands Even if sellers don't get their asking prices, these are still a good indicator of appreciation given carsales and the forums were littered with asking prices in the low 20s a year ago
  4. Forum pricing for 33Rs even higher than carsales
  5. Fark me 33R prices are soaring Only two crappy examples this side of 35k on carsales Wait til the states get their hands on them
  6. I think you're forgetting the intrinsically rewarding benefit of euthanising those who've had enough
  7. Probably for metropolitan jobs. Was talking to a superintendent from Port Hedland who manages the drivers up there...he's on about 250k himself, for what he said was shit easy office work. Told me they have a shortage of train drivers at the moment. Actual driving is boring ass work, but when you're not driving, you're sitting in a room watching Foxtel / Training Day until a job is ready. That's a tempting move.
  8. lol wtf might need to get those sodium levels tested martin
  9. Ahhh forced position advertising, the human resources version of underquoting auction range
  10. Go get a train driver traineeship dream boats are loaded And if you're working mines it's ~150k for first year
  11. Wouldn't be the first indigenous Australian to enter a building, start a fight with someone and leave with a cheque
  12. It cut out 2/3 the way through didn't it
  13. Do they use a separate tv signal
  14. I once knew a pig farmer
  15. Charity needs our help? I thought they were supposed to help people
  16. This thread...lol Dude was selling car...got sick of no buyers so trades in to dealer, dealer throws up on Gumtree without searching for it first...throws on his profit which is excessive as shit. That's all!
  17. Gayflamin mongrel
  18. It would be interesting to see how they could legally enforce this, short of defecting everyone. Technically it's just a random bunch of cars parking in a car park that is private property (I imagine, owned or rented by the service station?). What's illegal about that? Maybe they should wait until something actually happens. I mean, if they are worried about traffic banking up because of a meet...have they driven on the Monash in the last 15 years?
  19. Ice cream cones? Are you sure that's not lactose intolerance lol
  20. Cooked chicken more dangerous Still has salmonella, but the smell is hidden!
  21. Slicks and a lock diff will do that... It's all about the weakest link in the chain In most cars with an open diff, this is the traction of a single wheel, which breaks before anything else (wheelspin), but means the drivetrain has less stress on it because there is less resistance to the rotational force at the other end (gripping the road). With an LSD or locked diff, you have effectively multiplied the resistance by two. If you then strengthen the tyres with more grip, you shift more pressure onto other components in the drivetrain, such as the clutch. If the clutch slips, this means there is a limit to how much pressure is exerted on the axles or gearbox and the clutch is giving way first. Upgrade the clutch and this weakness disappears; suddenly the gearbox and axles have more pressure exerted on them...if the pressure is too great, one of these will snap. Side note: Clutches are generally cheaper to replace than gearboxes, hence I often say there is such a thing as too heavy a clutch.
