WTF is up with Chapps Tonight????


Recommended Posts

........So Im on the way home from the gym, like a few hours ago, and since my gym is just around the corner from Chapel street, I thought Id pimp a bit on Chaps by showing off my new rims. As Im driving down Chaps I notice 2 cop bikes and a cop car behind me and 2 cop bikes behind me, so my first reaction is turn down the stereo cos I dont wanna get busted for that out of all things, then as Im heading towards Toorak road, I notice that outside Studio Cafe the bike rack has cop bikes lined up everywhere, and on the other side of the road, this pig is doing a hardcore inspection on what looked like a stock as R32, and other cars are being inspected as well....So I was like WTF?????? And just as Im about to hit Toorak road a cop pulls up next to me and starts looking at my car, but fortunately he drove on. WTF IS UP WITH THIS SH*T?????

Lets face it, Chaps is all bout the car culture and at this rate its gonna go bye bye

i hate it!

chapel street and the car culture!??? you mean the losers that have nothing better to do with themselves on a friday and saturday night so they drive up and down showing off their small penis'. Seriously people that would prefer to drive up and down a street all night in heavier then peak hour traffic instead of going for a drive somewhere where they can drive their cars how they are supposed to be driven are total wanks!

thats my 2 cents, not directed at anyone, just voicing my opinion!

Okay, for starters when I do a Chapel street run, I go down it once, no laps or that stuff. I agree the wankstas who go back and forth are stoopid, but hey, lets face it, you get the bad with the good. I dunno about you guys, but I have seen some pretty cool looking cars on Chaps, and thousands of riced out pos's. Even tho a large percentage of the people who congregate on Chaps are dickheads, they do have cars, and there are many cars that drive down that street, so whether you like it or not, its a part of the Melbourne car culture, maybe not the best example, but still a part never the less.

Again, wheres a GOOD place to experience Melbourne car culture?

I enjoy going down chapel street a few years back but lately its been crap!.. hoons are reving their engine out which goes about 5 metres then stops due to the heavy traffic, blasting their radio while damaging their own eardrums just to get attention? whats with these guys? gee's... are they really that bored? from all these bad experiences I hate chapel more and more...

okies then....

Where is ther GOOD car culture happening in Melbourne?[/qoute]

You are talking with all of us right now :P

it's kinda silly really, but I guess people know if they wanna get somewhere quick, don't take chaps...and back streets around there are pretty well set up to avoid chaps all together, which again runs into doxx's problems.

But the one time I do like doin a quick lap is mid sunday afternoons on a nice day when you get the chance to see the 355, 360 or Diablo outside Cafe Sienna...

i was in chapps last night and i was in a proton dumped with 17" wheels, cops where EVERYWHERE you cant even through a but out the window and youed get busted.

But i did see a white R33 skyline whith a chik driving it had GTST badges but they didnt look like standard badges just wondering where there from.

    • I'm hoping I just don't have to do an engine rebuild NOW. Doesn't mean I won't do it at some point. I think a plus point is that the car presumably ran on or close to stock power nearly all it's life so far. Only the Owner I bought it from actually increased power with a standalone ECU and blew the OEM turbos. And after it got thee 2860s it wasn't driven an awful lot either.   That is what I meant. With the twins coming on so late (4500-5000rpm) I hope the rods won't want to exit the block prematurely. And it still being a 26 means the torque curve isn't gonna hike up all that much.   It didn't blow up on the dyno when they tuned it to 500ish crank. So I suppose it'll be okay for now. They did put a Tomei head gasket on first though which did not seal at all, and they redid it with a Cometic one. Which I hope won't be my water leak.   Mainly anything oil. So far all it has is the N1 pump, oil restrictor and a filter relocation kit with a cooler.
    • 15000? ish? Something like that anyway. It wasn;t so much a wear as a tear that then spread. Might have lasted a lot longer if not bothered by just one incident, whatever it was. I took a punt. They are really comfortable and do a good job of holding. My daughter HATED it when I first put them in, and probably still does now. She has sensory issues and hates the way they are all up your business. I'm 197cm and 95kg. Not fat or particularly wide, and the XL size seat is the rigth fit. If I was any fatter it would start to get too snug. Any skinnier and you'd possibly want the smaller width.
    • Mrs rs focus came factory with recaro cs  sportsters in it and they a pain in the ass to get in and out of with the really high bolsters, once you were in them they were one of the most comfortable seats I have ever sat in
    • The NA 2.5 has very little torque. You won't feel much. Those trannies are also a million years old now and it could well be f**ked. First generation electronically controlled autos will often refuse to kick down, ete, etc, depending on what's wrong with them.
    • Yes, but no but yes but no. Those "it's fine up to 500HP" rules and everything else like it were all determined back when the cars were 10 years old. As they are now 30 years old.....what do you reckon the chances of something shitting the bed are? I'd say they are much higher now than they used to be. You might be lucky. You might be unlucky. Spin the wheel and find out. Yeah, nah. It's actually exactly the opposite. Making boost early and having heaps of torque able to be generated right in the middle of the rev range will do more to damage an engine than having to rev it high to make the power. Think about the load on the conrods, bearings, etc, to make 400HP at 4000 rpm, vs 400 HP at 6500 rpm. So someone has already "let the Nissan out" which is how we describe the increased chance of a fiddled with engine to have had something done wrongly. Many more engines that have been opened die than stock ones do - even if you into consideration how they are treated wrt power levels and the like. Again, not saying that yours will definitely have been put back together by a moron. But the possibility does exist. It's still a lottery. Spin the wheel. What weakspots?
