  1. its ok to comment behind backs, but not to embarrass in front of. especially during a driver training... poor dude. hope you got your V8 buddy
  2. oh ok. thought it'd just be like a daughter board or something... pulsar ftw
  3. Sports Sedan Championship is on that weekend before the V8's. Keep an eye out for the silver RX7, its a monster.
  4. had to google what himym was. thought it was a new kanye album or something. anyway, back on topic:
  5. thanks for that. am going carbon bonnet soon and was going to use my current struts. you might have just saved me an expensive bonnet! thank you.
  6. Old turbo died and took out motor... coin spent on new motor, ideally wants more power, but doesnt want to spend more money... hmmmmmmm I would rather spend $900 on a cheap nistune + tune than getting a different turbo for "reliability". This sounds like good advice.
  7. so racist. but when you said curry mobile i did picture a magna with every seat occupied, nasty bodykit and oil smoke choking everyone behind it.
  8. supercar merchandise... so pricey. none of it will be worth anything, not really collectible. just wank. once found a Porsche semi-official calender. $99. its so sad that people pay that much for shit. (except for my $130 egyptian cotton white tshirt. thats for special occasions only)
  9. have pulsar tshirt, not the most original but it stops people asking stupid questions. oi plattsy, you after some front seats? got my stock SSS seats for $100 if you want. not sure how much massaging it will need to bolt in though.
  10. +1 if its just a cheap, fun car and nothing serious just get another CA18 and throw it in. Sell old motor or spend some time/money getting it up to scratch.
  11. total tools will stock a lot of dies and taps. inters, bottoms and tapers. lucky for you its only paint... ever since i tapped mine and my wheel nuts to get rid of burs.... nothing but problems.
  12. you jelly?
  13. even wore the same make-up just for that pic. what a slart.
  14. after going to a Classic Car show yesterday and seeing a winner talk briefly about his car that just won an all-out award, I've changed my mind somewhat to purists and restorations. His speech went along the lines of "its not my favourite car, but its been in my garage for 8 years and finally restored the other week. I just brought it out to get some air" ie. has other cars in the garage and likes this one, but isnt too passionate about it. f**k those people. Half of them spend $100k on a classic car resto and eventually sell it at auctions for (sometimes) profit. Genuine or restored/rebuilt parts are the craze and its a lot of money and time to hunt down things for a complete "package". All these people then drag their cars down to the annual show and usually are lost in a sea of hundreds of other completed projects. As oppose to real modified cars which are often made from used, hard to find, custom or recycled parts. The owner knows well that he/she will never see that money spent again but its what they want. Whether for power or comfort or uniqueness. I think the drift scene is an example of this: basically destroying cars, fixing things on the fly and tight budget but its all for fun. Which car has more character: the showroom pony, the forgotten-now-restored showpiece or the modified car that pushes the limit of its design and production?
  15. ...expecting Magic: The Gathering & Warhammer tournament. was disappointed.
  16. looking at the inevitable time-consuming/expenses regarding Direct Injection, it really narrows your choice down (or at least defines what year/model you get). Lot of unhappy chappys with RS4's and mercedes. personally... I'd get a pulsar -1 to MPS. Cobb tune and exhaust will push 160fwkws. they claim 190 at the flywheel from factory... but would do some reading up on the newer volvos. http://www.carsales.com.au/dealer/details/Volvo-S60-2011/AGC-AD-15268958/?Cr=0&sdmvc=1 wont need diff due to AWD, but exhaust and flash tune would make more exciting.
  17. inb4 The Passion Of The Artz and new Mad Max film with 1JZs instead of V8s. you used to be cool.
  18. shame it was done last year http://www.fpsgeneral.com/news/half-life-3/23769-half-life-3-to-be-published-by-ea-as-xbox-360
  19. oh rajab no... oh wait. its an april fools joke.
  20. difficult to film... requires extended roadways ($$$) and also insurance purposes. different in the days of the Blues Brothers cause those cars didnt go very fast, werent very valuable and you could fuel them all for a week for like $100. idea for new australian film: life story of Lee Kernaghan. Travelling outback, meeting top blokes and sheilas, 100 AU falcon car pile up chase scene.
  21. eager to see Lego movie and Grand Budapest Hotel. Both of which have been out in the US since like february. its annoying. not sure if classification board to blame.
  22. saw 6 cop cars and 3 bikes on way home from lillydale to braeside. is there a serial killer on the loose or something? seeing more and more on east link every week
