First Car: Tina - the Cortina (so original, I know)

Next: Laser the Amazer (guess what she was!)

After that: the Falcadore (what can I say - a company car)

And then: Saabie (not Japanese my name, but definitely by nature- zoom zoom)

Arriving Friday: Paris (aka the Z who always takes her top off)

So why are all my cars chicks?

Holden Commodore L (1980??) - was called cursed ( it was nothing but trouble, lost of engine trouble, we got hit in it 5-6 times i think. it finnaly got written off while we were going to gosford.

mitsubishi colt (1985) - lol my dad used to call it his little mercedes.used to jerk while going into 2nd gear on cold mornings. I bought some Shell helix Plus (green bottle), it stoped the jerking.

ford falcon ea (1990) - i call it jelly ( seems so soft it feels like it has jelly suspension.i hate it )

R31 Nissan skyline (1989) - I call it "the red car" (its red :P ) i remember looking for a used car with my dad after the commodore. It was bright red like the r31 GTS2s up on the steel ramp things you can get from super cheap auto. We bought it and have had it for 8 yrs now.

When we first had it you could hardly hear the engine running, it performed better than any commodore or falcon that we tried at the time.

Now it runs on HOT all day,Every day. needs a service badly. I think the thermostate is all rusted up and stuck closed. I might flush the radiator on the weekend.. arrgg might aswell throw the thing out and get one from the reckers. there must be so much shit in the cooling system. i bet the water is like liquid bronze.

arghh.. enough of my rambling

    • I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies. 
    • It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest. 
    • Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks! 
    • It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
    • Just a thought, but instead of restricting, is it possible to do like an "up for review" kind of thing? Where say someone who's not an admin/mod tags, it would require approval for it to actually tag? User posts with a 'tag' > Admin/Mod Reviews > Approves tag > Tag now exists kinda thing? Just came across this thread so Im not too sure if Im straying off topic or not but forgive me if i am...
