I think we should get Jimmy his license back.

Dudes, I've had a fly hanging around in my place for about five hours now and it will literally not go away.

How do I get rid of it without killing it and making a mess?

>>14028382
Set your house on fire, it will eventually leave.

>>14028382

not the original cunt, but you have a fair point. If they are unwilling to do skids- pic related.

>>14028377
doing the impossible. you know santa isn't real right?

>>14028382
explain to the fly how you are 100% for stance and have recently signed up for stance nation. it will soon leave while ripping better skids than you could ever do, then again- if you are 100% for stance, you should leave as the fly has now gained more respect.

why the fuck do taxis think they can do this shit? i see them running red lights all the time. stopping in no stopping zones, parked illegally, cutting off other drivers and being general tools.

disregard any bmw driver taxis are the fucking worst by a mile.
I'm glad their seedy monopoly is being undermined by uber.
fucking scumbags.

>>14028368
>Christmas Gift Ideas Edition
I think we should all chip in to buy Jimmy a real car.

>>14028404
get a dash cam and then report them when you actually have evidence.

>>14028404
all taxi drivers are cunts everywhere you go. nothing new bro.

>>14028382
Give it a frosty, obviously.

>>14028183
Sounds like you just want new tyres then.

Getting another set of 21/18 or whatever size wheels mite b gud because then you can mount the knobbies on one set and change them in and out as needed.

>>14028404
weekends in the city are the worst, they all work together and block off lanes and delay one another while taking up the whole fucking road to get an extra few shills- then they wonder why everyone starts using uber.

>>14028410
i was thinking that.
this incident happened before i saw a taxi run a red light.
Plus id pick up cool footage of people being idiots (I drive 4-5 hrs a day for work and see a lot of fuckery)

>>14028411
I knew it before i drove but after sharing the roads with them ive grown to despise them more.

>>14028422
fucking absolute scumbags, let them rot.
sadly they cried to the VIC government and uber was made illegal.

>>14028423
foreign taxi drivers are worse. because they think they know how to drive and above the law but all the registered ones have licence numbers written on their cars. take down their number and lodge complaint with their company.

>>14028428
say i have dashcam footage of them being illegal, can i take it to the cops?
would they get charged?

>>14028435
Yes you can and yes they will.

>>14028435
yes and yes. because its on camera and the camera never lies...

oi cunts, I need help.
My car shit itself, I have around 15k to spend to get a new car, I want something that can be fun, reliable and probably a smaller car. The car that shat itself was an mx-6 mazda, 93 model.

So, I'm looking at a Subaru Liberty to replace the beast.

http://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/Subaru-Liberty-2006/SSE-AD-3657722/?Cr=2

This is her. What advice do you have for me? Is there a better car for 12-13k? Is the subaru liberty a shitbox?

>>14028903
Pulsar or Bluebird with an SR20 innit
Spend $5k on a really nice one and keep saving money.

>>14028704
So what's the deal with Club Rego?
The Soarer will be coming up on 25 pretty soon.

You will need to get another roadie, and you can only drive 90 days/year, but I think its something like $100/year. Also good for insurance because of the limited amount of days.

You need to fill out a log book, if you don't and get caught its like driving unregistered. And you also need to join a car club and 'attend' events, however I think some of the big ones dont really care, they just take your membership fee and sign everyone off.

I didn't at first but then I kept seeing instances of him talking out his ass. The last was when he tried to tell someone that ABS isn't standard on modern litre bikes got called out on it then claimed it was an optional extra that no one took.

He followed it with an explanation about ABS and why it reduces braking force except he was talking about piston regulated systems that haven't been relevant to bikes for two decades.

This bitch needs to get on a track. I'd love to get her into a car at eastern creek or wakefield, but I'm not sure what I should be looking at. I'm considering picking up a miats for us to wrench and track on, but I wanna see how she goes on a track before I mention it to her. Do you cunts know of any companies or groups that offer drive days in decent cars to newbies? She has an Hyundurr i30 and I have a Hilux, neither are particularly trackable.

People go nuts around christmas, they get into a sort of panic where they run purely on emotion instead of rational thought. Hence why nobody can drive, shopping centres are full of crazed parents trying to buy up everything etc.

Worst time of the year to be on the roads, along with Easter and to some extent long weekends as well.

I don't personally "hate" christmas, though I don't really participate much any more. Christmas for me is for having a good time with friends and family, don't need a tree or presents or tinsel on everything to celebrate that.

What good Australian music do we actually have besides diSEMBOWELMENT? A lot of stuff is too Tr00 Southern Cross Aussie Battlercore for me.

I made some joke music awhile back, I'll throw a sample clip up when I get home. I've got this on my phone though, never finished it

I'm not really into vaporwave honestly but I get what you mean I was just messing around with a keyboard I bought a few weeks back. Still having trouble playing guitar, so figured I'd give it a go. I write a lot of ambient stuff, so I guess it's an extension of that. It's good fun though.

I should hopefully be starting the car build next month, so definitely looking forward to that.

KE70 or an AE71, ideally an AE71. Plan is to do a 4AGE swap and carb conversion. It should be amusing at least, I'm not real mechanically minded and I have a few mates helping me who have all half done projects on the go.

Got a couple guys who've finished builds I can call if when I inevitably get stuck.

I get you. That was my first layered recording since the hemorrhage. It's just looped in-room. I'm having a lot of trouble with rhythm still, albeit I'm slowly getting better.

The AE71 is the last gen of corolla to be in rwd, right?

>>14034794
My understanding is the AE71 is pretty much a KE70 with some bits and pieces changed. I mainly want the headlights, cross member and hydraulic clutch.

Annoying thing was my Mum had an AE86 and a Torana when I was growing up. She gave both away when she went on holiday.

Have you found the car yet or are you going to start looking next month? I'm interested in building a car once I get my savings back up

>>14034898
I'm casually looking, but not worrying too much until next month. I've gotta wait for some Allianz stuff to come through before I can throw money at a car.

>I'm interested in building a car once I get my savings back up
You may as well. I'm using a corolla since I can do a lot of the work cheap, or jury rig shit to work. Eg, good chance I'll get an inlet manifold fabricated and pull some 40mm R1 Mikuni carbs and just fit the biggest jets I can get from dynojet. I wanted to use 45mm Webers, but that way is hilariously cheaper and feels dodgier.

Depending on how it goes I'd ultimately like to do some handling upgrades and maybe track it. Figure it I slam it into a wall I can just swap everything into a new body.

I wanted to do a 13B swap, but I feel like it'd make more sense for me to just buy an FC. We'll see what happens though.

>Stuck in a rut

I'll say straight up, I'm not really a Volvo person, but you should go for it man. The sedans aren't too heavy and you could surprise the shit out of people with it.

>that'd be interesting, rotaries sound great as well
I'm a two-stroke fan, rotaries are the closest thing I can get to "driving" a motorcycle in a car.

I wanted to do a single turbo conversion (GT35R) on a 13B with electronic boost control and some minor mods. Wasn't really looking for more power since a stock setup would be ballistic in something as light as a KE70, but I figure deleting all the vacuum lines would do wonders for reliability.

I started asking around though and it looked like it would almost definitely end up costing enough that I should've just bought an FC to begin with. So I'll take my excuse to buy an RX-7 when I can haha.

I'm really hoping the build goes well though. A good friend of mine who has never really been into cars wants to help a bit. He's been getting more into the idea of picking up a manual shit box to have fun in.

I want to try and get a second corolla as well to give to my brother. He turns sixteen next year and I think it'd be cool to give him something he can relentless beat on.

>>14034982
I'd like to do an LS1 or LS3 swap into an 850i if I had enough disposable cash. Unfortunately the V12 is the worst part of those cars, they look brilliant though.

I'd probably do an LS1 swap into a Trans Am way before that though.

Geezus, can you tell my family that please? Everyone goes nuts with the materialism, normally I wouldn't mind but when you finally grow up a little and have moved out, and you're expected to buy presents for everyone else, having to spend around $600 on products is killing me. Made worse by the fact that about 5 extra family members are coming back to Tasmania this time round, not just me.

XG (basically XF) stub axles bolt on almost without modification. You need a little cone spacer for the tie rod end, that's it. Says a lot about how Ford Australia really cared about front suspension development between 1964 and 1990

Like the wheel choice?

>>14035615
>>14035625
>>14035633
Yeah, I was going to do a similar project but with an XR. Drop in XF running gear, swap in AU 6cyl. you can use EA mounts on the X series to drop in E series 6 cylinders for XR+, Not sure about XM, XP range. It should be a nice daily with the XF running gear.

>>14035633
I actually got my head under it, and it has a removable cross member, which I didn't realise, I thought all falcons had an integral one. Should make dropping the motor out in the paddock a lot easier. This is inviting trouble... but it should also make the new motor a really easy fit. The crossmember is kinda tiny.

>>14035642
Yeah, I don't know about the mounts, but it can't be too bad. The 170 has a lot lower deck height than a 4.0, I guess we'll find out.
That's way down the track though. There's a lot of welding between here and then. The sill looks great on this side, unfortunately the A pillars and RHS sill are not so nice

>>14035653
It probably would've been worth it to buy a roller if you don't work on it much

Dave went to the SA meets with Jimmy

>>14035656
I paid $1100 for this. Up in Terang. Most of the "restored" cars have rear quarters that fall out when you hit a pothole. I've seen a few XMs going for $12k that had rust pushing back through the paint...

I bought it, got distracted by my ute for a year, left the country for three years, had a kid, and then came into some cash.
So, it begins.

>>14035668

And cheap, yeah. I don't think the guy knew how to list on ebay properly. I found it by chance.

AU motors are about as much as a slab these days. I understand the dedicated LPG motors are a bit stronger, I've never seen proof of that though. I'm all about GRA systems and turbos. They're just so cheap to play with...

You don't have to understand it

I could just as easily tell you that I'd rather have a shitbox as a DD so I don't have to worry about people invariably smashing their doors into the side in a car park, or so I don't care so much when people graze the bumpers, but you wouldn't believe me anyway, so what does it matter?

>>14035815
It's usually funnier when people try to gloat. Bench racing is silly but you can still dumbfound some people. Having fun is more important in my opinion, but if I want to go stupidly fast I'm set as well.

All the SA anons so far have been chill.

>>14035782
> Is SA as boring as it seems? All you faggots seem to have nothing to do most of the time.
Tfw currently there is minimal jobs / most people are part time and never get called in. (thats all of straya currently though) Other than driving there isn't much to do. We don't really have any "wow-factor" things to see or do here.

>>14035803
Implying its fun to have some whisper machine that looks like every other car driving around. I like my cars with character- what's wrong with that? Not to mention it's fun to be able to experiment knowing that you can easily replace the parts.

>>14035918
Driving in SA is pretty hilarious though. I remember I did some work in Angaston for a bit, so my commute was from Blackwood through the hills every morning.

Every day there was either this V8 Commodore or a bright orange GT86 that would decide try to race me or something. Would lose them in a handful of turns. This happened everyday.

Some days I ended up slowing right down so they'd catch up so I could lose them again. It was pretty funny.

>>14035938
There are so many people like this.

I like to relax and have a nice drive, opting in for the long route to Murray Bridge when I have the time and the same thing happens, there are always the cunts who will tailgate (on straight sections of road) until you literally use a turnout, then they go flying past. Then a few minutes later I've caught up to them again in the twisties.

>>14035974
Had a guy tailgating me on a one lane toad awhile back. Progressively slowed down until I was going about 25kph. Moment he swung onto the wrong side of the road to pass me I gassed it until he gave up. I'd go back to about 2-3 over the limit, then the moment he crept up my ass I started slowing down again.

This went in for fucking ages. The moment the road went twisty I lost him in a handful of turns.

>people who go thirty under down a twisty road then go 20 over the moment you hit the straight roads at the bottom.

>>14036006
Kek'd, there is nothing worse than a tailgater who can't into twisties.

Know of any good locations in SA which could kill a day or two while collecting a bunch of photos? I've been thinking of going somewhere like Mundoo Island or Wallaroo to get some time away from the "big city". Only requirements really would have to be a pub and a petrol station.

>>14036034
If you want general photography head to My Lofty Summit Botanical Gardens.

For car stuff... Hmm... Could head down south. Delamere or Second Valley maybe? Could base yourself in Victor Harbour.

>>14036067
I will add all of these to my list, may have to go the wholehog and add Kangaroo Island to my list. Should be able to find some good guy axe murderer that's willing to lend a room for the night.

Either way I'm out for tonight, thanks for the suggestions anon.

>>14036159
You're welcome anon. I'll shoot my dad a message tomorrow and get his suggestions. He was a travel agent for twelve years, did a ton of local stuff for tourists.

I dunno if I can do that mang, it's just so long and excessive. Every time I tried reading it when I was younger resulted on my giving up.

is it wrong that i wanna get a motorbike license so i can ride around with my gf in a sidecar on some old ass bike?

>>14040078
If it involves a motorbike, it can never be wrong. Follow your dreams!

should I even bother buying shit for my shitbox?

>>14040093
>If it involves a motorbike, it can never be wrong.

Does that mean that there's nothing wrong with getting a motorbike to pull tail? Guy I know at work rides and pulls like nothing else.

>>14040113
I doubt it's the motorcycle honestly.

always a good idea to fill your shitbox with shit.

>>14040078
your girlfriend is too fat man, she'll get stuck and it will be some comical ass shit. so yes. please do it and post pictures.

>>14040078
Buy a chopper. You can ride bitch seat because you're obviously a bitch.

>>14040144
but I have a girlfriend!

>>14040165
Wow dude, Dump her and run away with me senpai

>>14040144
I'm not going to be the one in the side car tho why am I a bitch.

>>14040178
Why would you let your gf be in a sidecar? I'd only let a girl get sidecar and put a quick release on it in case she gets annoying.

>>14040191
