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)

^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.

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

      Anyone know this frontpipe?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      But there's the archetype for the name plate! Here's my view on that stupid TÜV ruleset. Buy a brand name aftermarket piece of equipment. In this case, the Mines front pipe we're talking about. Get it TÜV certified on the car. Damage the underside of it, say on a speed bump. Cut out the damaged section, replace with fresh metal. (For the sake of the argument only), continue doing that to the whole pipe until it is all gone, replaced with new metal. Is this grandfather's axe still the same front pipe? The design hasn't changed (much). The pipe walls are in the same places. The flanges are in the same places. It is functionally identical. How does this differ from a pipe that is ever so slightly different in fabrication (ie the number of welds in it, a few mm here and there in terms of where the pipes run, are joined, etc)? Anyone with 0.5% of a brain can see that there is absolutely no way that the performance (power, environmental aspects, noise, etc etc) of it can be any different than the genuine Mines pipe. Maybe even Mines made 2 versions of this design, with the same differences. How would anyone (say a TÜV inspector) ever be able to differentiate between them? And yet, they are so bloody anally retentive about this stuff. Mad. How upset would they be if you had the wrong spring washers on the flanges?

      By Rezz · Posted

      After a fairly extensive search using Japanese terms and checking Minkara etc, I couldn't find anything even close to your front pipe in the photos. I'm no expert but the two pipes merge really close to the flange connected to the catalytic converter which is rather unique from what I've seen, which makes me think it's more than likely a custom front pipe. The welds and 'more pipe sections than usual for a brand name pipe' makes it seem like a custom one.  Here's some photos of an old Mine's front pipe. You can see that it's just 4 pipe sections as opposed to 6, and arguably looks more like a 'production' front pipe:
