the aussie dream is to sit around drinking beers all day watching the footy/cricket/rugby, barely standing up in time to piss yourself and having three mortgages so you can buy the big house in the rich neighbourhood so you can show off to nobody in particular and buying your family brand new cars so that they can inherit the debt when you die from coronary heart disease caused by a diet of synthetic cheese slices, beer and chips.

Homeloans are scarier than kids. I have a kid now, and I still maintain this

How much does credit rating matter here? I know its a massive thing is the US but should I bother getting a credit card just to build some rating?

>>14422641
it's not a bad idea. Credit "rating" doesn't really matter so much as having a decent credit history; having a card that you've never missed a payment on will help quite a bit if you come to a vehicle or home loan.

you have to treat it as if it's a debit card, though. pay off the balance in full at the end of every month.

nice meme

>>14426282
Integras and Preludes tend to be beaten a little harder than your average grocery getter and command a higher price. You'll want to look into insurance on one too as it might be a little higher.

Also auto does sort-of defeat the purpose of something like an Integra but that's a personal preference.

What do people mean when they say a manual is precise?

>>14426305
If a manual shift is badly worn out, when trying to shift into gear it will be all over place. Due to badly worn shift bushings or just bad design.

Basically imagine your sausage down a hallway instead of a nice tight pussy. Yes, a badly engineered shift mechanism will be like this. I've also encountered (WRX, 2000ish) a car that's incredibly hard to shift into gear. Requires much effort and is not that precise.

FWIW those wheels are literally $50-70 a rim. 17x7. They're not bad, I'm yet to find anything I like more that isn't billions of dollars.

People rip them off Gen4s to put STi rims and those ones with like a billion spokes that i don't like, so they're all over the place.

I was considering a set of Super Advans that import monster have available but I don't think they'd look right on a gen3 lib.

Also, just because the HG has blown and been replaced, doesn't mean it won't again. Unless they used the uprated MLS gasket intended for the turbo motors, it'll probably blow again ~50-80k kms later.

Fortunately engine removal is a two hour process with two guys and some basic tools.

dink ding ding we have a winrar

heads could be warped/fucked/cracked and cooling system wasnt on point to let it happen in the first place

i personally find it rather amusing that subaru's solution to this problem when they rolled out the 3rd gens was to go back to SOHC and make slightly less power on the 2.5L NA motors.

those just leak oil from the valve covers

>>14426517
i always hated their engines but never knew why

Goddamn it thats fucking retarded.

erghhh

>>14426494
That's not too bad if I could get a set of 4 for about $200.
I'm pretty lost when it comes to the world of wheels. There are just so many out there I don't know what I'm looking at. Personally I just go for what I like the look off (and what's cheap enough to fit my budget)
If you're not sure how they'd look you could always try doing a quick shoop, that will at least give you an idea of how it could look.
Hopefully this car will be okay, it don't need to be super fast since I'm limited to 100ks anyway. It's reasonably comfortable and spacious too so that's a plus.

>>14426501
I know they do a really in depth inspection and report on every single thing about the car.

>>14426521
it only made one less horsepower and it was more fuel efficient and reliable, i don't really see a problem desu

subaru do dumb shit but they make up for it by being stupidly easy to work on for the most part

>>14426527
in all seriousness i'd get a 3rd gen, not a 2nd gen. the 2nds are getting a bit old and tired and if they weren't well taken care of the motor's basically history.

on the other hand, the 3rd gen 2.5L NA motor is fucking impossible to kill

Sounds reasonable depending on the job they have to do

>>14426755
>hit power

It will have a powerband like a 2 stroke. Though the engine might not take it, they are the definition of highly strung.

A low pressure low A:R would be good though, making it spool nice and early will give some good low power

>>14426732

Technically you can if you have the Customs paperwork given to all the people who bought then through that infamous import company when they had a valid Import Permit, or if you physically buy and register it in Canada since the R34 became legal there in 2014.

There's a 318i compact running around with an S85 in it.

>>14426580
But slow cars are some of the funnest cars to drive with manual transmissions? Can hammer it everywhere and downshift for turning off a main road.

You could get a KE70 for 1-2k. That'd be a blast to drive. Better on fuel than the Subaru too.

If you're just driving around town slowly there's no real benefit to AWD besides unnecessarily using more fuel.

>>14426747
This >>14426767 I wouldn't bother unless it's injected. Either way turbo tends to kill a bikes usefulness in the twisties.

>>14426755
They aren't that peaky. 12k to redline. They're pretty wound up anyway though, you'd probably just blow the engine.

Blow-through is not good. Seals all need to be in amazing shape or you end up with a sprinkler type thing.
Also you need to run more fuel pressure to get the fuel to actually feed, which in your case would entail actually fitting a fuel pump.

Gearbox is made of hopes and dreams, like every other AWD tarbo car in the 80s/90's.

I'm just looking for something cheap and fun on weekends, reliability isn't that important as long as parts aren't expensive, was told to look at these
>Ford Laser TX3
>Mitsubishi Lancer GSR
>Mitsubishi Galant VR4
>Peugeot 306 GTI-6
>Suzuki Swift GTI

Bored with driving a Corolla, but still want something small.

I drive a 306 xsi (gti with 5 spd and less power)

it's fun, and hasn't been too unreliable

I wouldn't consider one if interior squeaks and rattles bother you though

how do you ausfags feel about mcm

>>14430742
faaaaaaaaaaagggs

>>14430704
Which Galant VR4, 8th gen? I'd go for that 2bh

>>14430742
honestly, they're fucking annoying cunts

their facebook page is littered with them trying to force politically correct memes from stills of their videos, moog is a flaming fuckwit, marty actually has some technical knowledge and everything they do is shrouded in fuckery

I uploaded another gfycat, gfycat dot com slash FrigidNeedyDeviltasmanian

>>14430735
I really want to get some shots like that. I'm right near the Seacliff bridge here but I couldn't find a quiet enough staging area to take off from.

>>14430704
Don't get the Lancer or the Swift. Pug and Galant would be gud tho.

>>14430740
hey friend how's shit?

>>14430742
I like what they do. It's not perfect but nothing is.

>>14430740
>>14430782
Shaky interior doesn't bother me, I'll be looking for a 306 then.

What about a VR6 Golf? There's one of those near me too.

I'm gp guy btw

I'm also jealous of how stable that looks, damn

>>14430825
yee boi

I don't know how this car survived my P plates intact

>>14430742
Marty's a bro but Moog's testicle humour ruins it.

Also it's "Mighty Pay-An-Expert-To-Do-The-Work-On-The-Car Mods" nowadays.

>>14430830
Okay, then 306 it is then.

>>14430816
6th gen is still sick, its essentially an eclipse GSX with 4 doors, I'd get it

>>14430562
please elaborate

a friend of mine has a runabout laser and this intrigues me

>>14430856
the triple-axis chicken (gimbal) built into the phantom 3 is pretty damn impressive, yeah.

>>14430860
Pretty good choice, desu. I had a '95 306 XT (5-door 16 valve 1.8L, 105? horsepower, 5 speed manual) which was the car I learned to drive in and it was fun as fuck to throw around corners and whatnot. It wasn't fast, but who cares? Smiles per hour, not miles per hour. With our speed limits as they are, anyway.

>>14430856
ah ok, yeeeeee. Will definitely do my best to make it.

>>14430886
if you hold the cig lighter down past the point where it would normally switch off, it'll just keep getting hotter and set the plastic on fire

>>14430896
did you end up getting rid of your 306?

also, I was hoping that laser thing was related to the ignition system lel, I think I read it wrong

>>14430860
I think 306s have a timing belt every 80k, so check that, and also check that the rear beam isn't ballbagged

>your valiant has been at the transmission shop for a week and a half now
>its taking forever
>you will never have your car back

seriously, the last week has been perfect near zero wind weather, and i dont have my nice ass car.

>>14430896
What's you're name gonna be post-op vicfag?

>>14430825
vr6>any peugot
only get the manual for either btw

>>14431551
306 xsi and gti6 are great handling cars if you can afford decent tyres

would smash a vr6 if there's corners involved

>>14431686
m8, vr6 fucking eats corners
on flat tarmac it's oversteer before it understeers and it won't do either unless it's wet

The Federal Government has announced plans to introduce changes to the Motor Vehicle Standards Act 1989. One of the key changes that will positively affect motoring enthusiasts will be to improve the existing arrangements for importing exotic, rare, classic, collectable and special purpose vehicles.


Currently, individuals can only import a car or motorcycle under concessional arrangements if it is manufactured before January 1 1989. Keeping this fixed date would have steadily reduced the scope for importing genuine classic cars, threatening what is an ever important industry in Australia, especially given the impending departure of local vehicle production.
Shannons Marketing Manager – Mark Behr said ”Shannons has been heavily involved in working with the Government over some time, to replace the January 1989 scheme with a rolling 25 year scheme. We have put the case forward, on behalf of the motoring enthusiast community, to allow them access to the modern classics of the future. The government‘s decision should be applauded by all motoring enthusiasts. This new legislation will ensure continued prosperity for the motoring enthusiast industry, preserve important vehicle history and allow ongoing generations of enthusiasts to enjoy the hobby.


This decision will also enable the continued health of the car club movement, who often make important contributions to charity groups throughout Australia so there is a real social benefit as well as an economic one. As many people know, the associated motoring enthusiast industries – restoration services, mechanical repairs and so on make an enormous contribution to Australia’s economic wellbeing”.


Legislation to implement the changes will be introduced into Parliament later this year and the new rules are planned to be in place effective 2018.

Got 7k to spend on a SUV, I like pain and want a old rangie but probs cant afford the fuel or repairs to keep it going. Any suggestions?

>Mitsubishi Lancer GSR

Good luck finding one of these that hasn't been "tastefully" modified and through the mill.
