I agree with you too.... camry drivers are by far the worst... taxis are up there too.

Camry and Magna drivers are the new Volvos! :(

as for taxis...yeah usually too pissed to care...but i don't think I've ever got in one that doesn't have a strange noise coming from somewhere :P

And I agree with Jay95R33...we get defects for gauges - but they can have those things sitting on the dash...and what's worse is they drive along pushing the buttons and stuff....surely that's just as distracting as talking on your mobile (which you get a fine for!).

Hehe, I saw a taxi on fire this morning in Sydney CBD :rolleyes: Well, by the time I saw it there was just a HUGE plume of smoke coming out and fire extinguisher foam all over the ground. People were giving him a WIDE berth, let me tell you!

I never really thought about Camry drivers being ones to look out for... that was until about 10mins ago.

Some nut in a Sportivo overtook me doing about 120 in a 50 zone... i thought.... yeah right mate!

Then I saw him on the freeway doing at least 130 in an 80 zone, tail-gating that even made me squirm, overtaking cars via side streets, red lights and had to be the biggest ****bag I've ever seen on the road. And to top it off, after his antics, I still went passed him doing 80!!!

For those of you who might be on the Geelong - Melbourne freeway, lookout for a champagne coloured Sportivo with a really cool "BUGGER" sticker on the back, number plates SIG-599.

He's got to be the biggest wanker I've ever seen! Make sure you give him plenty of room - cause he can't drive!

Shell, you got it in one. When toyota started marketing camries (the collective noun?) aggressively, the second hand market for volvos became flooded and died, this was about 1992. Why? because every (old) man and his dog (jack russel) traded their old 240GL in on a new camry.......and so on, until 240 and 740 series volvo values were dead, and all the fogies were in camry's..

cheers,

floody

    • You've given zero info about your setup. Step 1: make sure all the standard equipment are working as they should. If they're not, go investigate why. Step 2: Make sure all your wiring is done properly. Know which RB20 you have, most likely "silvertop" a.k.a R32/A31 anything after 1989. Step 3: make sure your ECU is tuned properly. Standard will barely run in this situation.
    • Depending on your use case, prop valve will almost always be a better choice.
    • I think... in the US, Silvermax is the equivalent of BC Racing, i.e. cheap Taiwanese built suspension that gets turned for "local" conditions. Back in the day in Australia, you could get MCA street for about $1300 and they were awesome. Don't know about now... In saying that, my real world TEIN experience: I got some street basis z for my old Liberty (BR9), and they were awesome ($800-odd delivered from demon-tweeks in the UK). so Don't discount TEIN
    • yeah my RedBull X2010 on Grand Valley is only good enough for bronze... I can't hit silver arrgh.
    • 100% this. Long ago, I had a guy from the R31 club who set my BNR32 up (adjustable arms all round). He did an awesome job, was an after-work kinda thing where I had to bring a slab of beer. My car never drove better, and I stupidly got a random tyre shop to check the toe angles when I changed tyres, and they ruined the alignment. tl:dr- it takes a lot of skill to set up your car lowered from factory properly, and is worth paying the $200+ it takes.
