Yeah i went last year, was a interesting expirence. Fortunatly the burbon and cokes are potent dulling the pain of the scene.

The DJ comes out and starts doing a guess this song and you get a minti comp, ARGH.

RE: Milk in 2 Litres

I used to drive a 2.8L Merc and and a 3L Fagna - correction - Magna.... Does that mean that I would have beaten you in a race???? : )

We all know it's not the size that matters, it's what mods you do to it, how you drive it ..... not to mention how many stickers you have .... each sticker adds 10 Kw you know : ) rofl

Let's be realistic - if we all had stickers like the one that Ronin posted, we'd all pick up lots of chicks. TSH forever!!!!

Dude, 10kw from a sticker is not very good performance? What kind of stickers are you using, I suggest that the skank sticker should give you about 50rwkw, and if you where to use TRD & MUGEN stickers on your nissan you would get an additional 15kw per sticker.

I'm running an Impact Auto Sports sticker on the front wind shield and a Hi Tech Muffler sticker on the rear

I do have a Nismo Shift Knob so I was thinking I could justify wearing a Nismo sticker

I have a GFB sticker, but am kind of ashamed at putting it on the car : ( Don't get me wrong, the GFB BOV sounds good, but they should really do design work on their stickers..... lol

note: on reading my post again I have to say I sound like a rice boy... btw no need to agree with me

Neons are a interesting topic, alot of people believe that side skirt neons will increase your cars performance, however they have overlooked many better options.

Dash's that change colour are a professional modification that will increase both street cred and performance.

As for number plates, a cool play like "2SIK4U" will increase your cars overall KW.. however if you had a plate like "HABIB" or "SIK" or "ASIF" then you would be pulling a very fast 18 second run down brightons main street.

in light of Carlo's post I think it appropriate to draw peoples attention to the Woglife guide to crusing brighton. I know we've all seen it but it's just so funny!!!!

This article is a simple reference on how a WRX owner drives to Brighton on Sunday nights.

Firstly your WRX must be a 98 model onwards so people can see the updated front bar,

If you are really sik you will replace the fog lights with sti light covers.

When u go to Brighton it must be between 8pm and 10 pm on a Sunday night this is when all the sick cars come out of their hives,

your car must be lowered at least 2 inches, have 17 inch wheels as a minimum and some form of loud noise must be emitted from your car whether it's the 4 subwoofers in your boot, or your 3.5 inch mandrel bent exhaust, either way people will not turn to look at your sik car unless it sounds loud.

If possible, organise with your cousin Mohammed and his friend from school Ahmed to drive behind you in their own cars, and remember you must be the leader of the pack in your sik WRX.

Behind you should be a rotary of some sort then a lancer or a gti. And remember yours must be the loudest.

Your plate number should be the black and yellow NSW plates , usually showing your stupid mentality by having something like FULSIK , 2NVME or YULLAH. Then if you see a car coming opposite you that looks sicker than yours remember you must NOT turn your head, only move your eyes so as to not satisfy the other drivers ego, only when he has driven past u can you then take a quick look at his car and resume driving.

Remember you must attempt to get stuck in peak hour traffic on Bay St., this is usually around 9:30 pm. The crowd that stands outside Oporto's will look at your fulsik, lowered, turbo, 3pac enamel, window tinted, colour coded skirts, auction job car with awe and amazement and wonder where you got the money to buy such a car.

Usually they will think that you are a drug dealer or you and your cousin Mohammed are panel beaters and go to mindare auctions every Wednesday and scoop up all the cars. People will think it's a show car then some one will recognize it and say they see it at Bankstown Square every Saturday morning.

After you have paraded for a good 10 mins on Bay St., turn on to Grand Parade. Remember try to get caught at the lights, and when u do turn the music off. This will give the huge crowd crossing a chance to hear your beautifully refined engine and hear the rumble of the exhaust, and they will definitely think you are sick because you are original and have the music off, they will think you are getting ready to thrash your auction job car.

Note: Make sure that you drive at night so people cant see the dodgy paint job you and your cousin Mohammed did after you bought the car from the auctions. As you turn on to Grand Parade red line your car and let go and make sure people hear the whoosh of the turbo, now as everyone has heard your turbo you can then drive easily with the knowledge that your ego is satisfied.

Don't try to drag because your car already has 3 of your cousins and 2 of your friends and you would lose if you did try to drag.

Remember a sik WRX owner always performs at least 3 laps around Brighton and must be seen within a pack of other done up cars,

Approximately once a month you can park your car and get out to get something to eat,usually a kebab or Oporto's, but normally you are there to do happy laps.

If you see MR-WRX you must attempt to stay as close to him as possible, this way people will think you are his friend. And remember because you drive a WRX your mobile phone should be a minimum of a nokia 8210 or ericson t28s, and you must have a custom ring tone usually you would have downloaded it from yourmobile.com. And you should receive at least 3 SMS messages from your other wog "friends" so your wog friends in your car think your really special. Usually though it's your mum and she wants to know where you are, and when you're bringing her car back..

RONIN, that was one hell accurate article you posted bro. Made me laugh.

Someone once asked, "DO you know why GTRs are so expensive" and the answer was, "So Lebs can't afford it", otherwise Brighten would be full of GTRs instead of Rexies.

It only takes a small mods on your car for them to notice you and scream out "Sik car maate! Give it a hit!!!", even if all you did was change your tyre caps, that would be enough.

    • I had absolutely no symptoms whatsoever that anything was wrong.... I'm very happy it was all spotto'd and re-bled and re-torqued and aligned though. Will be picking it up tomorrow and undoubtedly be like "Oh, that clunk is gone" "Oh, the car really wants to drive straight" "Oh, that pedal feels better" "Oh, it feels like I've gained 25hp" "Oh, the handbrake works now" It should have been a sign that the new Project Mu shoes had 3mm of pad depth on them out of the box, and the OEM ones from 25 years ago that we took out also had 3mm of pad depth, implying the issue was not, and never was the shoes, but we put that down to it not being adjusted correctly. It wasn't, but it wasn't even adjustable at all given one side was boned and the T Junction of the cables was on a 45 degree angle, the non-working side being the one on the massive angle. Obviously when I had adjusted it and reset it and re-tensioned it I had either got it stuck or something along those lines. Oh well. Live and learn and absolutely could have been catastrophically worse so I'm rationalizing it as a win, kinda. I also got the chance to measure the distance between rear rim and the suspension arm/shocks and found a 30mm rubber block only just doesn't fit there. Which is great to know before ordering wheels, when I assumed 30mm was easy. The man with the Porsche adapters has rims that use 23.9mm of that space, so it's safe to assume I have between 23.9 and 29.9mm of space there to play with on the inside. The wheels looked pretty stupidly pokey with the 20mm spacers on the rear, only for me to find that the studs come out another 12mm and the wheel doesn't actually sit flush with the hub because you're supposed to cut your original studs. The wheels do have cutouts that kinda accomodate it, but not fully. So my 20mm spacer was anywhere between 25mm and 35mm. ~25mm and send it will determine on where the wheels sit with the spacers on. When I put the pads in for the track day I will mess around with spacers (with wheels that do not clear studs properly when mounted to spacers) and do more math, for the last time, for the 7th time.
    • Lucky pick up Best to find these things before something horrible happened to the yoke flange thingies I would hate to think what would happen if it dropped the tailshaft  Hopefully the holes are not flogged out in the yokes and it was just the bolts that got munted  As for the hand brake.....ouch, look like the disc got rather hot, and I assume smokey, I recall when I had a front caliper seize on the Commodore, there was lots of smoke and the disc was glowing cherry red when I was able to eventually stop and have a look, and stopping a big heavy car, going down a big hill with some rather high RPM down shifts and some hand brake action is something that makes you think hard about life
    • One of the things that never seemed right was the handbrake. Put in some nice new Project Mu shoes. We figured the rears were out, so why not. We're right there. My handbrake never worked well anyway. Well, this is them, 15km later. 67fdcf94-9763-4522-97a4-8f04b2ad0826.mp4 Keen eyes would note the difference in this picture too:   And this picture: Also, this was my Tailshaft bolts: 4ad3c7dd-51d0-4577-8e72-ba8bc82f6e87.mp4 It turns out my suspicions that one side of the handbrake cable was stretched all along were pretty accurate, as was my intuition that I didn't want to drop the tailshaft to swap them on jack stands and wasn't entirely sure about bolt torque. I have since bought the handbrake cables which have gone in. I'm very glad that I went to my mechanic friend who owns an alignment machine to get an alignment before the track day, because his eyes spotted these various levels of "WHAT THE f**k IS GOING ON HERE?". Turns out the alignment wasn't that bad, considering we changed the adjustable castor arms out for un-adjustable castor arms, and messed with the heights. Car drove pretty good with one side of the handbrake stuck on, unbleedable rear brakes, alignment screwy, and the tailshaft about to go flying and generally being a death trap waiting to happen! (I did have covid) (I maintain I adjusted the handbrake correctly, but movement caused shennanigans and/or I dislodged the spring on the problem side somewhat, or god knows what). G R E G G E D
    • Very interesting, im not sure how all those complications fit in to running a haltech instead of a stock ecu but I'm starting to think I'm a bit out of my league.
    • I just put 2 and 2 together. This is a Neo converted R32. The Neo ECU (in concert with the R34's AC controller) runs the AC quite differently to how the R32 ECU and AC controller do it. If you just drop it all in, it won't work. There is some tricky wiring required, including changing to the pressure switch that the Neo controllers want to see. I don't know what it is, because mine was done by a guru. It was a year or so after I did that transplant before he worked out what needed to be done.
