speaking of illegal activity... yesterday's car meet at carribean gardens: so many p-players driving turbo cars. turbo civic, stock 2JZ supra, A45 AMG, VW R36.

not sure if borrowing parents cars or just not giving 2 ducks

Column A and Column B.

Was the A45 red with ricey black features? Looking more like a Civic Type R?

R36 isn't turbo, but not sure if P player friendly. Think it might be just over the limit. Certainly faster than a lot of not P plater friendly cars.

This is not correct anymore..

You can drive it for 90 days a year, as long as you have a logbook

Which pretty much means you fill out the logbook before you go, except the date field.

Get pulled over? Write date down quickly, and then you're good to go.

Mate with Club reg BMW has actually been asked exactly 0 times for his logbook the 4-5 times that's been pulled over/through a booze bus etc.

You'd be quite lucky to work 90 days a year and still get paid for the full year.

A45 was white, no mods. 2 guys got out looking particularly wanky.

on that note: didnt see any 34GTRs and thought that was odd. nek minnit 3 rock up. must have slept in after a long night doing prinny runs since one had unburnt fuel covering half of the rear end of the car. must have recently bought it :P

What's the retail on an A45?

Very slight chance he may have acquired it himself on the basis he worked full time straight after highschool and is towards the end of his P Plates.

What sort of income levels does Mercedes require before you can finance one? inb4Aaron

Other 99% chance is via parents

That's my guess

Or.... you'd be unlucky to get your logbook checked 91 times a year...

Or you might get a cop who just complies with the rules and takes off your club reg when he sees your a dodgey that doesn't fill it out :P

$74990 plus on roads I think

I'm not sure of the credit side lol I only deal with them when they fail

They aren't that hard to acquire though. Going by the amount of young people getting around in Euro/luxury cars lately

Say the finance is 4 years

Plus say interest of 10% would bring total to $105,000

Thats repayments of $2,188 a month or $547 a week. That's still alot of cash for a teen in addition to what they already spend

I know this guy in Hallam who drives all these exy Mercedes

prob on the 2% rate for 24 or 36 months. big deposit and then sell back for a loss.

I'm surprised so many people I know get suckered into cheap car finance.

And I ask them, if car company is making a loss at by financing at below the RBA interest rate, where do you think they will make their money back from?

Maybe I should have remained single, stayed with my parents and financed a Gallardo....

    • 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
    • I’ve got one on mine and it’s fine, 
    • 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.
    • Ye, in terms of bolting up the "Conversion" from a GT to a GTT is effectively "Use GTT parts for everything" Except the subframe itself, because you won't want a HICAS/4WS subframe. Remember your ABS system will be different too, thanks to GT being the S15 3 sensor system, instead of the R34 4 sensor system for wheel speed. I do not know how people get this to work given R34 diffs do not have a provision for an ABS sensor (they are on the tone wheels of the axles). I assume***** people use S15 gear/R34NA forever when they realize this - Or they convert it to a rear diff/axles that are R33 style which I presume has the singular speed sensor on the diff itself, but then you have to wire it all in and...and... and...
