Correct me if i'm wrong but for one reason or another a lot of people have daily drive cars, well at least I think they do???

Whether it's because you like to tow your "real car" to those track days, or if it's the petrol bill at the end of the month that stops you driving your skyline (insert other imported/sports car here)

Maybe it's because you don't want to clock up so many km's every week on your pride and joy commuting in traffic, maybe it's because you don't like driving to and from work with that guilty feeling that you are going to be reported to the epa or pulled up and have that boost controller spotted....

for whatever reason it is that you feel you need a more subtle car for your day to day ventures, what is it that you chose for your daily driver and why?

I am looking into getting something in the next few months and i have been leaning towards a hot hatch of some description, namely a pug 306 gti-6 basically because it's a semi hoons car without the attention, they have leather and a sunroof, and a fairly punchable 2.0 donk, and they seem like they would be a reasonably comfortable and economical drive.

down side to the pug is they have no towing capabilities what so ever. hmmmm fiddle dee dee. :P

Nice choice there Greg, they're absolutely awesome cars, and I considered getting one about 18 months ago. Best mate has one and it'sa top car. Comfortable, quick, sounds great with a remus backbox, rare. Only thing I dislike is the french seating position...

My daily...

I'd put up a better pic but I can't be arsed blanking out the plates...

I currently daily drive an AU Falcon ute, soon to be changed to a bug-eyed Magna Station-wagon. These cars are absolutely great, when you don't pay for them and comes with free rego, service, petrol and insurance :)

Company vehicles are great :P I also have free use of it after hours and holidays, 365 days of the year :laugh:

Roy, when did the BBQ happen (looks like Winton)

My daily driver.

Can be a bit slow at times (better for my license though ;) ) but people don't tend to mess with it, it tows the STi easily and it does wicked drifts on wet roads. ;)

I drive a Subaru Legacy GT wagon to work, i can throw my surfboard in the back along with all the other crap i lug around with me.

It's got the EJ20TT under the hood so it's no slouch either.

A self shifter, cruise and leather make it enjoyable to drive when i'm not in the 32.

You all drive some pretty crap cars daily..............but then again if the price of fuel is so high and

there is nowhere safe you can park it .......I concure.

I haven't seen anything under 14 seconds yet..... ;)

So i'm driving this:

But the owner of the Landcruiser gets back from Europe next week so i will have his other spare car which is this (Except the one I will have is Navy Blue and has a big DRIIFT sticker on the back and a bonnet scoop for extra effect ;)):

post-8874-1161776392.jpg

And in three weeks the stickers come off and its back to this:

My daily driver is another white 99 model. A beautiful example of Fords finest design work. The magnificient AU Falcon. WTF were they thinking???!!! If anyone at Ford involved with allowing it to be built hasn't been fired then I'd be stunned. The ugly pig is comfy though. One toe and one finger only to drive it and the boot fits the 13in sub nicely.

Then the weather is nice, then the ZX10R gets me to work. That will run flat 10 second quarters all day.

I've got a Hiace van for my daily (I'm a tradesman so I'm on the road constantly). Benefits are I only have to pay for fuel for the 180 when it comes out for the weekend ;)

I end up saving a packet

      to have this type of adjustment possible with a curve as I wish, what budget (engine) should be planned?

      George's R33 GTST build

      By pogman · Posted

      Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.

      They do that at random every now and then, with almost no detectable cause. Mine has done it a couple of times (over 25 years!!). Never worked out why.

      Hello Everyone

      I don't post on here and have been lurking for some time now. Many of the topics have helped me out more times than i can count. I was racing yesterday (11/9) and blew a front right CV shaft. I have spares so I popped a new one in. A thread i read previously said to check the engine mounts if you blow a front CV. Upon inspection, the front right mount was completely separated from the upper plate. This discovery saved me time and money, because i would have blown another CV if i went back out. Just wanted to thank you guys and wish everyone luck with with their builds. (Now if we could only come up with a solution for my power steering belt flying off after hitting the rev limiter, lol)
