How silly can you be...that's just degrading...there is a guy around my area driving around in a lancer with a evo 7 bodykit...but has a nismo sticker on the back window and the old school 80's style nismo sticker on the door...go figure

What? You've never seen the Mitsusan Nismart Evo-R??

Spotted this Volvo in a Maccas drive thru the other week; gave him a toot & told him to get out of the way... Also saw this sweet NM35 while I was driving up a hill a couple of days ago.

hrmm i was thinkin about personalised plates.... 70LVO.... :D

a lil bit off topic but the other day i went to pick up my mate from cairns central (local shopping centre and deadshit hangout) and as i was slowly creeping past the main entrance heard some young fella's go " WHAT IS IT????" i laughed a bit did a blockie, then came back to try n find my mate, this time one of them goes "Oh but those mags suit it so well man" kinda put a smile on my face haha.

also went up to the tablelands last weekend (hillbilly country) and coming out of a store this family walks by and the lil kid only about 8 or 9 goes " oh yeah i like that car, its nice mum, yeh looks really good, dont know about the colour but yeah it definetly looks nice"

the dad sort of looks at it trying to work out wat the hell it is hahahaha

got my own story now.

Parking in Argyle st in the city I had problems getting any of the meters to accept a credit card. Rang and told them about the fault. That sort of covers in case I get a ticket but then they say that when the technician comes and checks the machine, if he finds it works the I will not get off any parking ticket issued.

I then spot a Parking Officer giving a ticket and figure I need to make sure I don't get a ticket. I ask him to watch whilst I try and pay by CC, FAIL again and he goes OK, no problem I will not give you a ticket, you have 2 hours of parking as per the sign post. He then say's which is your car...... I say, The silver wagon second from the end of the line of cars.

What does he say............you guessed right........YOU MEAN THE VOLVO! arrrrrggggghhhhh. LOL

He must have seen you driving or trying to park it Andy....you have to admit you may not have a Volvo but you certainly drive it like your in one. :)

I was safe until....

I went to XCM (Xclusive - Colours - Modifications), he thought it was very much a volvo shape.

My only comment was "it goes far better than a volvo".

Top bloke, great price to repray a few panels, courtesy of a key job on sunday :P

A quick plug for XCM-

P.S. He constantly brings stuff back over from Japan via a wrecker's etc. If you need bodykits and the likes don't hesitate to ask him to give it a shot. He said he doesn't mark anything up so if he pays $200 for it that is what you pay him, I can't vouch for it yet but he is going to get his contact to keep an eye out of an Aero kit for me (old one pretty scratched at front and beaten up all round).

      R32 gtst speedo out by 10kph

      By -Jimmy- · Posted

      Interesting, I haven't read about the issue with oil getting into the speedo in the cluster before. I'll have to take more notice with mine. The speedo on my R32's when I've run factory diff and tyre size have never been accurate as far as I can remember. The non Type-M GTS-t did come with 15" 5 stud wheels and smaller brakes, but that's less than 5% of them.

      My R32 Money Pit & The Headaches That Come With It

      Good to hear the condenser you picked up off my brother worked all good. Do you think there could be an issue with your AC compressor itself or the clutch on it then? I don't know a lot about them so I can't really help but keen to hear what it ends up being. Keep the build thread going man, it's nice to look back on over time.

      This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.

      Wives never seem to find things funny. Especially when they're trying to sleep, and you've found the new funniest thing ever. I've never seen someone be able to get try and be cranky with me, while they're holding back fits of laughter... 😛   Also, I tell mine it's payback anyway. She has BiPolar. So the household can get quite emotionally wild at times 😛

      I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k .
