I had a HOLDEN SS try to run me at the lights on Warringah Road Frenchs Forest and i ignored him, lights turn green - he guns it must of reached at leased 100K and surprise surprise behind us there was a FPV F6 unmarked cop car, i smiled when the cop puled him over and i just continued to drive normaly past.

My question is i seem to get alot of holdens V8's and WRX's that try to race me, i ignore them because i like my car 2 much to run the risk of losing it or losing my license and i have lost 2 many friends because of stupid boy racers, but is it just me that seems to get this or is my V35 atracting idiots that wanna race, is anyone else noticing this?

lol i always check my rear view for un-marked commo's or falcons, even then u still run a risk. thats why u try stay towards the end of the pack of cars when cruising around so you can go as fast as u want and see all. But when its just normal driving just ignore the 'hoons' =P

Always have commo's and loads of P platers trying to run me.

Most annoying is seeing them weave in/out of traffic just to catch you, then roll up along side and BAM speed off as if to say "Yea, stupid Jap crap is slow as"

Yeah, you do get that sometimes. But also I've had really good people at lights that talk about the cars, mostly imports owners.

Speaking of which, I had a Daewoo sedan with 4 people in the car catch up to me doing 85km/h in 70km/h from behind last night. I was like "Here we go again". At the next lights, he showed me thumbs up with everyone looking at my car, and then they floored it. What is the meaning of that? :D I am not going to race with a Daewoo.

Yup. I was laughing my head off in the car when they did that.

I mean...Come on, Daewoo sedan with 4 people. I can still see their tail lights for another 10 minutes even after flooring it. :D

I sometimes get people trying to race me. But most of the time people just ask me what the car is! Not many V35 Coupes north of Bisbane.

I still remember when the guys at Audio Barn told me my card doesn't exist :P

But yea, when people do want to race it's usually P platers in Falcons and Commodores. Most import owners just want to have a look :)

actually, a drag race on the public road is meaningless.... people rock up with a V8 or something that means you don't have a chance...

then someone with a shit box and fart cannon won't make you excited......

Did it once, and only once..... A stupid Mazazdddaaaa 3 Sp something.... keep going left and middle and right and middle and left just to keep up with me

then I smoked him on the uphill stretch of the road.... yea.... shit box mazda 3 can't keep up... But I feel like a douchebag>.<

      My hold point for future mods is that I want a OEM detachable hard top first, but, finding one is a pain, MX5 Mania are looking for one for me, but, as hens teeth are more common, finding one in Australia is proving problematic  I can get a OEM one from overseas, hell, you can still get new ones in 'Merica, but, shipping is a absolute killer and I cannot justify the cost, or the risk of it being damaged during transport As for the aftermarket hardtops, whilst they do the job of being a hard top, and are fine for a track car, they don't seal well (read: leak like a sieve in the rain), and you need a plastic/poly rear window, plus they are a bolt in option only and not made to be easily removed I liked how the hard top on my NB could be fitted, and removed, by myself, in less than 5 minutes I know it sounds bad, but I'm waiting for someone to write off a car with one so I can swoop in on their pain, it will go to a good home though, so my guilt of this is tempered

      No, you don't want to plug the vacuum line, as that will turn that side of the booster into an air spring and probably make it feel worse. I'm not saying that the GTR master itself doesn't need a booster. I haven't paid attention to the GTR one to know what size it is cf the non-GTR ones. But when you think about it - they have to do the same job, which is to move a little slave piston a few mm to do what it is supposed to do, and that final action is the same on all the cars. So, it is very unlikely that the GTR MC is any different than the others, because it has the same pedal stroke and the same output requirement. The booster just makes it feel easier. I'd suggest you probably have an actual hydraulic problem. It's totally common on these old shitboxes.
