Haha, yeah will probably keep it for a fair while, though its not so stealth in bright yellow

I'd love to get a second car as a daily tho, i'm thinking ralliart colt (~$9k, turbo, good on fuel)

Wheels, coilovers and a tune would make me pretty happy and i don't think i'd be on the wrong side of the law (though they can seemingly get you for anything if they really want)

unless your a hellaflush, stanced, flatcapping f**kwit who goes to events that a renowned for shitbox cars..... you will be fine

^this is true. My 33 is relatively stock with aftermarket body kit, bigger wheels but with heaps of gap between my wheels and arches owned it for just over 1 1/2yrs been pulled up 3 times or RBT's late late at night.

So what does everyone do for fun these day?

Last time i lived at home for more than 3 months broady carpark was still there and was where all the cool kids go

Glad to hear that e85 is available from a couple of servos now too! Eventually i'm thinking hypergear highflow on e85 and see what i can get out of it

Just need to organise some form of paying for it all

man how long ago did you live on the GC?????

Broadie car park is no longer and has been that way for a long time now.

Its now a family theme park (which is pretty cool mind you and good for the overall community :) )

Too much attention was caused by the so called cool kids at Broadwater car park.

I have joined the QLD SAU club for fun. As that is where you can enjoy tonnes of fun and also use your car in a controlled and safe environment at some events they organise.

I will be going to my first event with my car this Sunday at QR Happy Laps - so very excited and nervous at the same time :banana:

Yeah, E85 is pretty easy to procure over here (for now) and I have a servo at the end of my street that supplies it.

Welcome back by the way.

5 years of uni + a gap year so i've been away for a little while

I usually come up at the end of each uni semester for summer, but its never long enough to get back into the car scene up there, its just about enough to catch up with some mates and then back down to Tas :(

I head someone had a meet on the gc the other day and police were cool with it and no one got raped which is cool

Probably won't have my car up there till maybe early jan so thats probably gonna suck, should be run rolling around in my parent's corolla :/

mate if you drive sensibly in a car that is not flat capper defect central you should have nothing to worry about.

Now, start driftin / skiddin / racin on public roads.......then you deserve the consequences that are attached with such inappropriate actions

If you aren't a dick attracting attention, it's not that bad. In a Volvo lookalike, they really won't look twice - unless you're flying down backstreets at 100. If you're really that concerned, buy a wig. As they glance at you, you'll look like a soccer mum and all is sweet. :P

      New fix for low tyre pressure from bmw

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Yep, pretty much what you said is a good summary. The aftermarket thing just attached to the rim, then has two lines out to valve stems, one to inner wheel, one to outer wheel. Some of the systems even start to air up as you head towards highway speed. IE, you're in the logging tracks, then as speeds increase it knows you're on tarmac and airs up so the driver doesn't even have to remember. I bet the ones that need driver intervention to air up end up seeing a lot more tyre wear from "forest pressures" in use on the highway!

      Anyone know this frontpipe?

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      Yes, but you need to do these type certifications for tuning parts. That is the absurd part here. Meaning tuning parts are very costly (generally speaking) as well as the technical test documentation for say a turbo swap with more power. It just makes modifying everything crazy expensive and complicated. That bracket has been lost in translation many years ago I assume, it was not there.

      Hahaha, yeah.... not what you'd call a tamper-proof design.... but yes, with the truck setup, the lines are always connected, but typically they sit just inside the plane of the rear metal mudguards, so if you clear the guards you clear the lines as well. Not rogue 4WD tracks with tree branches and bushes everywhere, ready to hook-up an air hose. You can do it externally like a mod, but dedicated setups air-pressurize the undriven hubs, and on driven axles you can do the same thing, or pressurize the axles (lots of designs out there for this idea)... https://www.trtaustralia.com.au/traction-air-cti-system/  for example.... ..the trouble I've got here... wrt the bimmer ad... is the last bit...they don't want to show it spinning, do they.... give all the illusion that things are moving...but no...and what the hell tyre profile is that?...25??? ...far kernel, rims would be dead inside 10klms on most roads around here.... 😃

      You're just describing how type certification works. Personally I would be shocked to discover that catalytic converter is not in the stock mounting position. Is there a bracket on the transfer case holding the catalytic converter and front pipe together? If so, it should be in stock position.

      You talking about the ones in the photo above? I guess that could make sense. Fixed (but flexible) line from the point up above down to the hubcap thingo, with a rotating air seal thingo. Then fixed (but also still likely flexible) line from the "other side" of the transfer in the hub cap thingo up to the valve stem on the rim. A horrible cludge, but something that could be done. I'd bet on the Unimog version being fed through from the back, as part of the axle assembly, without the need for the vulnerable lines out to the sides. It's amazing what you can do when you have an idea that is not quite impossible. Nearly impossible, but not quite.
