Holden chat never happened.

My first car.

Really warped my mind on what "Performance" meant.

Holden chat - post numbers 27 and 28 (on page 2) - one of which was your contribution. Alzheimers is awesome eh? Get to hide your own Easter Eggs and you are always meeting new people.

I had an EA Auto wagon - for about 3 months during which time it had more parts replaced than a Bukkaemono racer trying to shave 11 seconds off his Wakefield time. (except the EA parts were not a figment of someones imagination).

Then I saw the light...

My 2c

I traded my black R34 GTR in on an Evo7, and got a whole lot of cash

Those cars are so f**king good, you forget about the 34 in no time

For 2 years it didnt cost me a cent other than petrol and oil, they are tough, stock

I recently got an offer too good to refuse on my Evo7, so I'm back in a GTR, my 4th, and I'm very happy

I'd also gladly go back to an Evo if the deal was right

Lol you say an Evo 7 is just as good if not better than a 34r but you got back into an R very confusing ! I have both evo7 and 34R

Evo7 = ultimate every day car/people mover with performance even make bad drivers look like good drivers

34R = ultimate drivers car the feeling and sound is amazing rwd bias suits me better looks better than anything and can do a u turn (Evo fails at this)

OP paid $80,000 for car, earns 3,000 in six weeks, so that's $500 per week and is he's 22.

The way I see it even if it included the purchase cost, he dedicated every cent he earned for 3.076 years to his car. Or, he has spent 50 cents in the dollar every day since his 16th birthday.

Either way, that's commitment people.

Cheers for the posts. This is the sort of information I was looking for when making the thread. Evo is definately a high contender if i ever decide to sell up on the GTR.

80k... Spent - you including purchase price there ye?

Ofcourse. If i had spent 80k on a GTR after purchase and it wasnt doing 9 second passes I would jump

Actually payed a fair bit less for the car, the 80k I was referring to was the overal value the car has cost me to this day due to modification.

You fellas forget to realise that when your younger and minus the responbility of kids and a milking wife/fiance/gf - if your earning decent coin its very easy to put aside $400 a week, some weeks more some weeks less. Ive known an electrical apprentice who managed to save 70k in his 4 year venture earning stuff all money for the first 2 years.

The R34 GTR was my dream car, i worked hard for it, done what i had to do and made a sh*tload of sacrifices along the way saving up but in the end I did it

Then why even contemplate getting rid of it?

      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...

      Yes, a plan for non-action is always my first sort of plan! I'm happy to see what falls out of invision's update. I had been having some thoughts on what to do with this the other day and they all seem to have fled my memory, after various solar panel induced traumas, squeaking suspension sphericals, etc etc, over the last little bit. I'll try and recall what I had in mind and make sure that I put it into print in some form before the Alzheimer's strikes again.

      The ability to have both a 5500 stall for launching, and a regular lockup for every other scenario is pretty sweet. Does it actually work well like that though in the real world? Would it hold up to track use and otherwise you'd never know you had a stall converter in it? If so, that's awesome

      The thing is, once the content has been tagged we can chop and change the end result as much as we want. Its identifying the content in the first place that needs to be done regardless of the final outcome.

      Sorry @GTSBoy I thought I'd replied here. There's a new BIG version of invision coming out soon, it might be worth waiting until that happens as it contains a lot of improved functionality for tags. My suggestion would be to add a top level page (not thread) with some info on it and then link to sub pages for various topics. We could even just start really simple with 2 or 3 pages underneath it. Those pages could just have a view (like a pre configured search result) of the tags we choose to put on it. We could have some background or an intro on each of these pages. My only issue is that while admins and mods can update the existing content to contain the tags we want, new posts can have whatever tags the author wants. That said, the reason our tags are so messy is because of that, so maybe we restrict tagging to admins/mods in edits.
