be careful mate this yeah the cops will slug you for street drinking, even if you just having a "quiet "one, but dont let them stop you from enjoying yourself :) but yeah forshore is nice just watch out for the dickheads

welcome dude :)

funny you say that my mate just mentioned the chicks are hotter in perth than QLD (he just moved there) haha

agreed on foreshore to...

uhm few beaches you can goto? scarborough, cottosloe, also the one just below that, laten or something...

cott has pubs and stuff lol

had awesome time, apologies i didn’t make it to the skyline meet, we ended up staying in bunbury on sat night.

the trip can pretty much be summarised by beach and boozing. drank more in the last week than i have in the last 2 years.

some things i noted bout Perth

- your blue and black lettered number plates are just about impossible to read :down: i want 1

- you are in serious need of chicken takeaway joints, we have 1 on every corner sometimes 3 (we like our chicken)

- noted everyone seems to be more interested in keeping in shape (possibly a result of a lack of chicken as above) :)

- we have alot more gtr's the only 1s i seen on the trip was a r35 in bunbury 1 33 gtr on Australia day in town. we also have way more autobahn type shops

- and finally, there seems to be a difference in opinion in what a tram and train are :) you have trams accept it

A tram is an enclosed carriage intended for public transportation, powered by electricity, and designed to run on rails located in the street. Trams are also known as streetcars, trolleycars, or trolleys, and they were once abundant in metropolitan areas around the world. After a decline at the end of the 20th century, trams were revived in some communities in the early 20th century, thanks to a growing interest in environmentally-friendly transportation options.

lolz at the risk of stating another huge debate we have both trains and trams in adelaide both can do the same sorta speeds.

the fact it has overhead cables determines if its a train or tram :)

    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
    • Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
    • You just need a different blue slip shop (preferably one you regularly use as a mechanic), and make sure the coil overs are as close as possible to standard height
    • yeah the sugar refining companies were pushing for the same in Oz originally, all fuels were going to have 10% ethanol to make them "cheaper" (noting, that the loss in l/100 might be greater than the decrease in price). I guess they won that fight in Canadia
