This reminds me when I used to ride road bikes. A mate put a Honda decal on a Kawasaki and you should have heard the shit fight. Some people even got angry.

Its the same as slapping on a 'M' badge on a beemer.

I personally dont care what people do. If it makes you happy :)

BMW will slap M labels everywhere for you if you order the M-sport pack even for a gutless 320i...

I think there's a certain comedic value to be had from badges, such as fitting a GTR badge to a clapped-out old 120Y.

Someone once stuck a BMW badge on the bonnet of my 180B.

Took me about a month to notice it (the less I actually looked at that car, the better).

But still lucky it didn't catch on fire Tez.

theres time yet.

its still running.

at least assume it is, cos he still likes it.

I have a friend who has a GTSTR Badge on his car. His car can outrun alot of GTR's in the area though so he kinda earned it haha. But guys who put GTR badges remind me of people in the USA who shop at pep boys and autozone putting the fake stick on hood scoops. Doesnt piss me off just gives me a nice laugh :D

No

He is just a knob

I once had a dude in a R34 GTT-t with a GTR badge on it try and get me to race him in my BNR32, I told him he is dreaming and to take his GTT pos home ( no offence to GTT owners as even you guys would have called this thing a pos ) he then swear blind it was a GTR with a single turbo conversion

The look on his face when I pointed out the 4wd had been " converted " to :)

The 180 is a genuine classic brah, shoulda held onto that shitter!

Maybe today it is. In 1989 it was just another crappy Jap family sedan (though mine was a rally car, so I did like it). It was well past its use-by date so I ended up transferring the mechanicals across into a 1600 and took the rusted out shell to the Mt Isa tip.

Had I held onto the B, I imagine I'd now have a nice pile of rust to admire.

No denying that, it goes to show even BMW dont care too much about the prestige of the m badge.

Close!

* white smoke billowed like a cumulus cloud after busting an a/c bracket

* exhaust manifold pulled away from the block

* uni joints kept breaking when pushed through hairpins

    • 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.
    • Tear down before more damage, might just be an incorrectly installed ring or so and hopefully everything is salvageable.
    • Damn, they're good. I've been hiding the car from them for months!
