Those that saw her today would've noticed she was new to manual, but hey it was only her second day of driving a manual! She's doing brilliantly :(

As Craved noted when you guys were leaving the parking area in Wollongong, she's taking off more smoothly than sl1m :P

I didn't want a white car but it was the first car I looked at and it was good so I got it and now me and Wil have matching cars :P

I'm scared driving manual in traffic though, I kept stalling on the way home today and it was so scary because there were so many cars :)

OMG...how can you get bored of WHITE TE37s ??????????

your car looks hot in both pics.....prefer the TE37S over the black ones !!! :unsure:

might consider getting a set...but I love dish too much so proabably a set of GTC Face 2s will be the go...

Bronze eh ?

If you want to stick with rays then id say 57 Pros or personally I reckon Work Emotions in bronze...

Dunno, somehow I got bored and needed a change.. Admit they did look good on the car when I had them, its really hard to find the right wheels. At the moment, I now have TE37 in bronze which I just picked up today for a really good price.

One problem with white, was that it had alot of cleaning maintanence :D... But I do admit they were nice rims, just somehow i got bored???

I think you should use silver or gold gtc on your car, would look the bomb!!! I wanna get a 34 in 2 years, and will prob use white te37 in 18 or possibly GTC by then...

Im such a wheel whore.. Had the car 1.5years and now on the 4th set of wheels :D

Practice or Practise makes perfect!

hahaha damn and I thought I was bad...on my 3rd set in 2 years...

You reckon you have cleaning problems ?? try cleaning a black car with white wheels :unsure:

car is getting resprayed a different colour later on so probably get something other than white......time for a change.

What d00dz said. I love driving through tunnels.

Find yourself a friendly, long, tunnel with no speed cameras (I can recommend the Airport tunnel that runs under the runway, or the M2 tunnel), put yourself into the right most lane if its up against a wall, pop it in second and floor it. You can either pop off at redline to let it overrun before getting back on the gas, or snap it into third and get back on the power to go with the echoes and doppler effect.

There's nothing quite like the sound of a free flowing induction / exhaust note echoing off the walls. I swear my fuel economy halves every time I go near an enclosed space. ;)

Great minds think alike......

I to didnt want a white car (i wanted a silver 32) but when i found mine i knew it was right. I was also an auto only driver before getting my car. Just wait till you go back to your auto and go for the clutch!!!!!! ;)

You have raised a pretty good point bout black car and white wheels, but the effect is hot with white wheels on a black car.

Midnight purple on yours wouldnt look so bad for a respray colour.. Also on my 4th exhaust, trying to find the right note :D Found it, using a tanabe cat back.

    • Definitely didn't put a N/A cluster in instead? The speed sensor (location) is different in both cars.... I think. This will obviously stuff things up.
    • Nah not the throwout bearing, it's something internal. I already replaced the throwout bearing. Mechanic misdiagnosed my car and thought it was a spigot bearing, went to another bloke who said it was an input shaft bearing. (I replaced everything when I pulled out the gearbox but didn't open up the gearbox.   In this video at timestamp 6:05 : Mine has the same sound  min
    • It is definitely to space it out and away for clearance during compression, and possibly for spring clearance to upper arm. That latter would only be true for springs that are same-ish diameter to stockers, and so that probably doesn't apply to Teins or most other coilovers.
    • Yeah, a mechanic who knows these cars told me even if I get a brand new gearbox the noise will return but will be less noticeable. I've heard someone also they this noise came back after 3,000km on a new or reconditioned gearbox. It is pretty f**king annoying though just hearing groaning most of the time lol. I wonder if an aftermarket input shaft bearing would fix the problem or how they are built.
    • All RB gearbags, especially the big turbo box, have rollover noise. Mine certainly does. Always has. Sometimes is worse than others - no particular idea why, although it is probably temperature related. I have smurf jizz in mine and have had to have it in there from the first day the box went into teh car. It simply would not select gears with the engine on, on day one, with normal oil in there. And so, the blue stuff has probably ruined almost everything synchro related in the box. But it has taken 12 or 13 years to get to the point where I simply must replace the box. It has become increasingly baulky of late, which might be symptomatic of the way I've been driving it, as much as anything. I shall have to make some corrections when teh new box goes in. Input shaft bearing noise will decrease with clutch pedal pressed because the drive is removed. But yes, more often than not noises that work like that are associated with the throwout. It won't matter either way, new box will mean this one can be relegated to the parts pile.
