haha the poor bugger. I mean really how would you feel if you saw that your pride and dream was being bagged out by people you didn't even know knew of your car!

hahaha...it's hilarious!

I personally would build a bridge and cross it.. however if i owned an excel id probably jump off the bridge.

That is ofcourse if the excel didn't fall apart before you made it to the bridge :uh-huh: :uh-huh:

All commodore taxi peices of shit, wankers with massive bullbars, mudflaps and 40,000 stickers on their rear windscreen driving utes, and excels with body kits. And i saw an excel with a v8 conversion at summernats last year.

not baggin out VK's with simmons are we timmy? LOL, my opinion, a set of nice wheels on a straight car turns heads. And i own a old car but would never put a new style wheel on my car, Blue HJ panel with like 17" five spokes, bad! :uh-huh:

Very true - I could go and get some shitty CSA/ROH/Performance/Speedy wheel pack to fit my car any day of the week, but as it stands I'm still looking for a good set of period correct (i.e 80's style), tasteful rims to suit my R31 coupe - its a boxy, 80's car, it should have 80's rims. I think I've found some 17" volk mesh though , very 80's gr. A touring car style.... And hopefully a GTS-R wing will be soon, which is massive, fibreglass and....... a factory option! Probably just as much FRP in it as some 2 foot tall monstrosity though..

A little bit of taste goes a long way, IMHO. I can't believe the previous owner of my car took the nice looking stock 15x6" alloys off to fit a rather ungracious looking set of 15x6.5" Auscar branded mags....

here's another nomination, and quite tragic because a nice car has been ruined. The red RX7 convertible, series 3 I think, in Launceston. Someone put a stupid big wing on the boot and an exhaust can that sticks out miles from the back bumper and looks dumb. Other than those 'modifications' it'd be a sweet looking car.

hahah, I'm mates with the red swift with white rims and the starlet with Alpine stickers.

Yeah, the starlet driver is a dwarf and didn't have alot of choices to which car he could drive because of the mods needed to make it driveable for him, I still don't like the stickers though.

That RX7 convertable!! It ended up in the ditch after drift day if anyone else saw? I heard it was pulling fishies and just span out and went down the bank. He was in town not long ago doing fishies up bathurst street.

I think the worst car I've seen would be one of the newest shape lancers in black, 16's or 17 inch chromes, about a foot of room between the arches and tire and about 5 go fast stickers on each door.

Not sure if its been mentioned yet, but was in the city today and parked in Liverpool Street behind a blue Hyundai Coupe FX... strange thing was, amoungst all the stickers on the car (all over it) were some pretty big and proudly displayed RalliArt stickers!

Mitsubishi don't have anything to to with Hyundai to they?... I remeber Kia used to buy engines from Mitsubishi years ago, but not Hyundai.

It also had what looked like 16 or 17" chromies, extremly low-performance tyres and standard issue 4WD suspension and a badge that said Supercharged!

A very proud owner I'm sure the person would be.

Actually Stu, I'm not certain on the current generations of cars, but the first two generations of Excels used Hyundai manufactured, licensed variants of Mitsubishi motors. The S-coupe's have turbo mitsubishi motors, quite similar to the Lancer GSR's I'm lead to believe.

    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
    • I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.
    • If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
