dear son of rajab this thread is sooooo bad *unsubscribe*

this whole thread is about generalisations so far

dont knock em till you've drifted one

been driving my brothers black holden v8 ute around lately, theres a little camaradery, but not as much as on a motorbike :lol:

if its down to preferance fair enough, but do you have extensive seat time in the likes of say a VZ clubsport, or BF GT or typhoon?

work for a electrical contractor that specialises in air conditioning control systems some jobs are small, some are big.. recently completed the new direct factory outlet in essendon, that was a pretty big job with a nice $3.30 an hour site allowance was there for a good 3 months straight, with 350m cable runs. it was hard work tho, i lost a lotta weight pretty quickly and grew some biceps from pulling such big heavy cables all day long i have a good job as far as apprentice sparkys go and im greatful for that, as i the company i started with paid shithouse money... $300 clear first year, $370 clear 2nd year... no thanks. some domestic sparkys wouldnt even get that... and the jobs can be hard to find i look forward to minimum $32 an hour when im qualified in mid 2008 tho

some autos just dont allow for it either. which isnt a bad thing either, as its extreamly bad for it

i think anything about VP-VR onwards has been 'reverse engineered' if you like so that they wont spin so easily, as its generally NOT what you want from joe publics family cruiser... an early VN (series 1) is a different story, with a very short first gear and very punchy low down torque delivery (and god awful vibrations and axe sharpening sounds) they would generally absolutely fry the tyres if you put it in D (yes automatic) and took your foot off the brake and stamped on the accellerator... it will just sit on the spot making smoke

displacement is FAR from overrated, especially if you like drivability thats why i dislike RB20's displacement along with technology is a fantastic combination, and beleive it or not the position of the cam has little to do with 'technology' to all you LS1 haters hahah im just getting my 900cc kawasaki ZX9R registered now (from the auctions) and boy can you feel the difference when you twist the throttle compared to a 250-600cc bike... both have the same ammount of technology in the engine (all around 160HP per litre N/A out of the box) but there is a world of difference... forced induction + capacity + technology... now yer talking B)

i beleive the phrase is "breakin yo neck, wif da ecotech" :lol: its from calaisturbo.com.au, dunno the guys name but i think its a pisstake any way

sparky wages would be a bit better than chippy... tho the schooling is a little trickier, but the work is generally more mental than physical in comparison im 2nd year adult and take home about 600 a week without any overtime... but im getting heaps of overtime so its quite a bit more than that... 2nd year adult is same as 3rd year junior

i can relate to that

just remember its never as fun to work on somebody elses car as it is your own :lol:

my boganistic urges were strong tonight, felt like abusing some overly riced nissans with big shopping lists down the side, but i held back as i would clearly have looked the bogan in my 1984 meteor

Nice. very nice
