If he has to die, I want Waleed to have a more ironic death, rolled by an abo or stabbed in the throat by a refugee, severely limiting his virtue signalling abilities

Ah, replied about P Plate Status on the Atom is listed as exempt, not seeing that there was another car posted after it (the Lambo) which is most definately banned.

 

 

im sure you Philistines are going to hate on this, but finally found companies in japan that do styles that I had in mind.

Ain't nothing wrong with that ^

Does yours have a single exhaust or both sides? It the bumper hole the same profile as the tips? If it doesn't match the curve, it looks stoopid and out of place.

^ those are things im going to have to work out.

for starters, 59,000 yen gets you two sets (reversed design) i only have one pipe so will see if I can buy one only. apparently its 250mm wide so need to see if my recess is that wide or how much it will cost to make it larger (and not ugly).

apparently the trick to unsymmetrical tips is to have it match the slope of the tail lights on that side... not sure how that works but going to look into it.

Yeah, I saw that and chose to keep addblocker on.

The whole reason that I initially installed addblocker in the first place was when Christian put adds on here that if you accidentally put your mouse over would cover half the screen and then have to be closed which would happen ALL the time. Heaps of people complained and he chose to keep them

 

I'd say so Leeroy, I mainly use it for annoying pre-video ads on youtube etc.

Also handy when I was at anal workplace blocking out peoples car pics in sigs so no one would realize I'm on a car forum 

Enjoying the price surge for 33Rs...none on carsales for less than 24k and that's a shitty example. Didn't think it would happen this soon; almost on par with 32R pricing. Can't believe my mate let his HKS 2.8 stroker go for mid twenties.

Not that they'll necessarily get what they're asking, but I remember when these were advertised 16-17k at the low end. Amazing that so many only have 40,000km on the clock :whistling:

33R's were like 22-25k before I bought the pulsar, that was only 3-4 years ago.

Yeah that was during their depreciation fall; same thing happened to 32Rs, which were down as low as 12k...then the numbers started diminishing and the prices started appreciating.

    • @soviet_merlin Thanks mate!  Nothing too major but will hold me up for a while. I've got lymphomas to get taken off the back of my neck and the middle of my spine which always conjures scary thoughts!  It sounds worse than it is. Yeah great, conjuring more rabbit hole deepening , just what I need! 🤣  
    • I'd argue the F50 kit I got is very good value. For ~2k I got the calipers (refurbed condition), adapters, pads, brake lines, rotors, and top hats. I think you'd be pretty hard to get Evo/GTR/350z brembos + the additional hardware for similar money. Used market for a pair of front calipers alone I've seen tend to run anywhere from $1500-2000 depending on condition.    That said, something like a GTR or 350z brembo is a lot easier to adapt to the Silvia. 
    • Is there a significant price difference between the Evo/gtr/350z brembos vs the F50? Looks amazing.
    • I was actually being a tightarse at the time LOL... My OCD is tickling me into running a 2nd 8AN Teflon hose all the way down and removing the 2x OEM hardlines. My other side of my brain is telling me to run 2x hardlines front to back (also acts as a fuel cooler, so win win).
    • As I mentioned in an earlier post, I had some trouble with the Silvia's brakes dragging back in 2023. I managed to sort it out then, but the same problem came back to bite me late last year. Just take a look at the picture – I had a feeling the handbrake was acting up again, and I was right. Anyway, I'd been wanting to upgrade to bigger brakes for a while. Not that the Silvia's brakes were bad, but it was more of a "want" than a "need", you know? It was funny, though – at the time, I couldn't find any Evo Brembos, 350Z Brembos, or GTR Brembos for a decent price (of course, tons of them popped up online after I already bought my kit!). I ended up going with an F50 Brembo kit, which came with adapters, brake lines, 330mm rotors, and top hats. The F50 Brembo caliper was used in a few other cars too, like the FPV. I also decided this was the perfect opportunity to ditch the Silvia's ridiculous rear brakes and that awful handbrake (some of you were definitely right about that!). I picked up some R33 calipers and all the necessary bits – rear drums, backing plates, and new hardware to refurbish the calipers. Of course, it wouldn't be a project without a few hiccups. Turns out the brake master cylinder was playing up and basically (to put it simply) keeping the brakes engaged. I had it overhauled, and after some adjustments, everything was working again. The whole process took a while, as you can imagine. To top it off, the front right wheel bearings were shot and needed replacing too. This is a rare occasion where I'm posting an update while it's all still fresh! These pictures were taken just this afternoon.
