poofff

polished alloy is ppoofier than chrome

pooooooooooooooooooooooffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff

Geez you have a fascination with poofs, gays and bananas. Are you locked in or too scared to come out? :blink:

Not happy Jan! This happened towing the car last night not long after having a flat tyre and finding the spare was a Commodore wheel, and the hubs are Falcon! GRRRRRR!!!!!!

I think someone's overtightened the bolt with a rattle gun. One had been broken for a while.

Hey Baron...how would the Atlas 200 go towing a trailer and car. The lock up security of the back for tools nad tyres...hell somewhere to sleep woudl be cool. Cheap rego too. Could it tow a 1300kg car + trailer?

yeah it should be able to. I mean it can carry a 2 ton payload in the back alone, so surely could tow a trailer and car, and fit a few hundred kg of tools, spares, esky, bed and pee bottle. maybe even some nudie mags and it already has a nice light in the back to read them by. it's 4.2 litre diesel so torque shouldn't be short. gearing limits it to probably 130 or so though. actually not a bad idea. you could easily have room to sleep/relax in the back. could fit heaps of shit in there and can fit 3 people in the front. can be driven on a car licence (just) and being under 4.5T is still affordable to rego.

actually it would make a cool tow car. you could set it up with a cheap compressor (supercheap have one atm $190 off, going for $170 2.5hp etc looks ok), small water (or beer) tank, 240v power, you could get some huge team wang decals for the side. and a beaded set cover for the seat.

Is worth serious consideration. I mean i can fit a bench, seat and bed in the back. Throw a littl Gen Set in their, air compressor and tools/tyres. Throw a camping fridge in there...then a tow hook. For about 25k all up could have a pretty full on support/tow vehicle...

Hmm...

hell I'll even look after it in syd for ya!

plus it's an import for that extra JDM cred, and when you reverse a japanese lady comes over the loudspeaker in japanese to tell everyone about it. great way to meet girls... can't ask for more than that.

Oh yuk,,,thats not a pretty sight. Someones in for an ear bashing. I hope that was the only damage.

Neil.

yeah that is ugly.

Richard....I was thinking about that truck but you would need somewhere to store it and the car. in the end if i do get a truck the car will have to fit inside....

dick

does it do skidz?

king oath.

dunc. yeah that is the downside. storing the thing, and you're right. the ideal way is to have a truck you can put the car into as then you effectively have a rolling garage! but my truck is cheap cheap and getting cheaper by the day! lol. and has JDM credibility which you need.

    • Do not ever trust ChatGPT with anything math related. They can't do math. They have no idea what it is. With enough data we can fit a decent equation in Excel, or if the available fits in Excel aren't good enough, a Matlab clone.
    • You could check/calibrate that with a thermometer, we have long glass thermometers at work which go from -10 to +150°c, they are pretty cheap too I believe,  as monkey fisted soldiers tend to break them, and getting new ones don't seem to send red flags to the people that hold the purse strings Edit: after a google they apparently cost about $80, but, digital ones seem to be much cheaper at around $40
    • I should have prefaced all of this with "I'd really like to not pull anything out of the car for this" 
    • Me, I would happly spend some more coin on better tyres for my street car  Will they work, yes, of course, but why substitute some dry grip/braking distance, and wet weather grip/braking distance on what is really old tech to save some coin on your "precious" street car In the end it might not be you that farks up, it's the thousands of other idiots on the street that you need to worry about  For a street car that gets some "fun time", I have found that a quality tyre that can handle dry, wet, cold (Canberra gets pretty cold) and hot conditions, which may costs a little more, is great insurance  From my experience with them (driving around Goulburn in the winter) the RE003's are pretty poor in cold and/or wet conditions on the street If RS4's didn't hate gripping in the cold I would be running them always on the street,  great in the dry, OK in the wet, but, they do hate the cold, with a passion, I run PS5's year round now, basically, I've found the PS5 to be a great year round street tyre for all conditions, they last well, and are mid range pricing wise TL;DR. Tyre choice is probably like what brand and grade oil you should use, ask 10 people, and get 10 different answers... LOL
