dude, your treading a fine line when buying a old perfromance car. the engines arnt as long on this earth as "normal" engines. when something goes, you WILL get raped by the costs. my dad has a current model BMW. he got the car serviced and they had to replace a few gear. the price was through the roof. a porsche is a much more expensive car brand and the avalibility of parts will be lacking. i can understand the temptation though the 924 was not considered a "true" porsche because of the engine being up front, rather than the rear which they are renowed for.

being a p-plater myself, when i say this, i am not biased. I think power/weight ratio is def the way to go. there should be stages, starting out with a level one, and progressing until a 3. You can only progress a level if you have no major accidents, large fines etc. Level 1: cars on the slow side to start with, drive that for 2 years. Level 2: upgrading to mildly powered everyday cars, drive for 1 year. Level 3: turbocharged, 8s+, rotaries Now i realise everyone is going to say although someone will get a "Level one" car (eg. Corolla), they can still modify the ass off it so it goes quicker. but hey, really your average teenager isnt going to bother with that. Although this would be a very difficult concept to police, as they cant estimate the "level" a person can be at as they drive past. it is only when they check licenses when they pull the driver over that they can determine if the car falls into the catagory. but hey, there will never be a concept that will please everyone.

Daily Telegraph front page. they dont even talk about the one last night. its on telly though. the media is loving this.

respec' da ol' skool! yo!

trust me i know what its like. my dads got the current model 3 series. he loves that car to death. he gets it serviced at Alto BMW Artarmon as well. any luck so far?

What Blitz said. I love those M coupes. I'll keep my eye out for it. They are hard to miss. Especially in that colour. will keep eye out.

how about a PRB? rip-off from a lotus 7. weighs a measly 400-odd. stuff a rb25 in, goes like the clappers. ive been in a prb with the 110kw corolla engine, 0-100km in 3.9 and covering the 1/4 in sub 14. very quic, but it would be a real hassle to fit in a 6 with a turbo, plus you scarafice a few comforts like air con, abs, a bone jarring ride. but hey, when it comes to brawn performance that you want, those things dont matter

maybe a E30 BMW? mix performance with looks and prestige. plus the beemer is a chick puller! E30s on the cheap(ish) side of bmws

the owner's son was driving.

same. i cant decide if i want to get this game. i was saving for GT4, but now its been delayed until March as someone said, im going either for GTA: San Andreas or this game. P.S: i havnt checked any stores, but i have heard rumours that GTA has been pulled from the shelves? is this true?

What can I say that hasn't already been said? i woke up this morning, turned on the news. As soon as i spotted the car i felt sick straight away. Soon as the report was over, i jumped on here hoping that they got it wrong. I dont know what I expecting. The fact that it was a fellow SAU user just came as a real shock. The weird thing is, like the other two before me, i also have that car as my wallpaper. errie. Guys: i cant stress enough! take it easy on the roads now! expecially with the Christmas season coming up, we dont want to see any nasty x-mas presents. the police are going to be even more anal about skylines now. RIP EVLR34 Drive Safe.

240!

i did

how would u like to crusie in this one then? just added a new set of rims. pinched them off a kossenig (spelling?). also made the flares and bit deeper and "longer":

From the guy who bought you the convertible GTR, i bring you the Shelby Concept! I didnt want to go overboard here! just made a few subtle changes to give the Shelby GT500 concept a much tougher appearance. sorry, im not one of those choppers who goes "fully sick" with his styling! keep it simple! thats my motto. anyway, enjoy! Original: STAGE 1 - Variation of Original - No lowering of car here! just whacked on a larger bodykit and added larger rims: STAGE 2 - Colour Change - Red and Blue: STAGE 3 - Colour changes - Black paintjob, gold wheels and red calipers:

Ronin had one of the best car chases ive ever seen! But i wouldnt go as far as calling the Audi one of the hottest looking cars, although its def got power to boot! Come to think of it, has anyone seen "the Transporter"? Nice Beemer chase there!

just pause the video afterwards when he jumps off. if you pause it at the right time, it clearly looks like his hand is missing. etch!

i want to see ghostrider as well. someone post up a lil something for all of us to see.. pleeeeease!

A. none

RC doughnuts!

oh god. please dont turn this thread into a simular one as the other one a few weeks ago... we dont want to dipute which city is the best! besides Ken sounds like hes already decided on Brizzy. Welcome to SAU Ken! :wavey: Goon P.S: Sydney rocks! joking

if you're hellbent on teh conversion, your best option would be to find a R33 GTS4, work from there. however, they are n/a. On the other hand, the R32 GTS4 was a turbo though.

i got 1 and 2 in a dvd from kmart. cost $10. bargin. what cars are featured in the rest of the series?
