I guess ill be the one to keep this on topic:

Hoons are drivers, generally young ones (avoiding the stereotype) who have no respect to authority and others. The people cops catch drag racing etc. at night are reffered as hoons by them and basiclly give all imports a bad name. Not all import drivers are reckless and many people here obey road rules and respect the law.

Rice is a term used to describe a car made to look good but no actual power under the hood. Basically "all show, no go". An example would be a non-turbo honda integra with HKS, apexi... etc stickers all over it and pulling something along the lines of the power output of lawnmower.

Hope it helps

    • KYBs are typically twin tube, putting them in the lower tier of desireability. Do you just want to replace worn out ones for the lowest cost? I mean, you wouldn't just replace one end of a car, if the rears are a similar age to the fronts, then they are probably nowhere near what they should be, and likely won't be great against brand new fronts. So, to spend ~$800 on 2nd tier dampers, when you could get a decent set of MCA coilovers for <$4k.....? As to the strut tops. 1st up, the Sparesbox site specifically tells you that they are not correct for an R33. Beyond that, why do you think you need them?
    • That's not very Toyota of the Toyota!
    • Bringing an old thread back to life Looking to put some new front shocks in the r33Gtst and the KYB still look ok for a road car. Unless there are any other options aroind that price $200 a shock?  I’d like to replace the strut tops also, is this the correct KYB no. For the strut top, KSM7124?  https://www.sparesbox.com.au/products/kyb-strut-top-mount-ksm7124?srsltid=AfmBOoq-HDru8wSlLnQrhU9gCw_uYdKg8gUQzONY-EQOdnI5iXOWEUjY 341287 appears to be the front KYB shocks part no.  thanks all
