Mate just got a major defect pulling out of the panel shop. Didn't directly take a speed, and was going over it on angle and the cops pulled him up about 10 seconds later.

Got done for being too low, tint, walls, bump stops and tyre placard. Merry Christmas.

walls, bumpstops?

How does it sound Leigh?

Decat soon? Mate bought an xr6 turbro. Goes very nice!

Really want a gs ute now.

Sounds like a supercharged v8 :P

Pretty loud for a stock exhaust, I'll probably just leave it and get tune only

Xr6 turbos are nice as well, but GS is the way to go if you want to spend 1500 and get some huge powahh, plus sound cooler

Auto > manual

Sure manual you are in more control more "driving" but autos are quicker that's the facts

Not just the quickness, but yea want to keep the car for ages and will be working in the city soon - not to mention people already replacing stock clutches in the manuals

People might say auto is gay, but when you drive a ZF auto they are pretty awesome :worship:

With Alex on this one. People use getting kicked out of places as bragging rights these days...so they do stupid shit to make it happen...sounds like something worth encouraging?

Auto > manual

Not really. Some autos are f**king shit. Like the one in the bf xr6 310kw version. I changed gears around same time as him and lost no ground what so ever.

Yes auto is crap which is why it's used in most of the latest top end sports/supercars because ofcourse it's gay and a waste of time.

what would the best engineers in the world know anyway...

Exactly :thumbsup:

yeh agree leigh i drive heaps all stop start for work a manual wouldnt even be considered but each to their own

horses for courses

Yep much better for cruising / daily, if I were drifting it I'd get a manual but I'm not.. well not intentionally :P

Yeah you're a flog mohsen, no ones impressed that you get kicked out, you sound like a 14 year old delinquent.

Leigh, did you have any riding experience before you got your l's?

I rode dirt bikes from a young age (pee-wee 50 types), started off small and ended up with a 150 which I sold at 16 - rode only once every month or 2 so not too much.

Got my Ls on the 1 day course, they expect you to know how to ride and basic controls. That being said I hadn't sat on a bike for about 5 years still passed fairly easily, you'll be fine. If you're worried just do the 2 day course, seriously though don't stress its easy.

As for on the road, a bit weird at first.. just doing 80 or 100 seems like your flying. I just took it easy, didn't weave or go to the front of the lights at first. After a few months you get more comfortable, still I always wear gear and don't try to be a hero. Good fun though. Do it! :thumbsup:

    • 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 . 
    • Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?   
    • Yeah I've spotted this one too, whenever it's lotto superdraw week and I'm browsing car sales dot com for my new ride They must be dreaming, maybe it's worth 150k for the link to Brock?
    • 100% accurate!  We are a pack of know it alls....  But, I bet people go to you when they have a problem! I've been on a bit of a clean up rampage too over the past month!  I've thrown more shit in the bin over the past 2 weeks than I have in the past 3 years combined! Anyway, it's all good fun being different! My wife sometimes does not agree!  
    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
