Gotta buy something before your 86's transmission explodes.

>>14961213
the difference between a SOHC and DOHC excel is 10hp, your butt dyno wouldn't be able to tell it apart. Save yourself 600 bucks

>>14961227
but this guy told me to
>>14920981

>>14961242
a 1 minute wikipedia search indicates that its literally only 10 extra horsepower, its going to make zero discernible difference. Have fun finding parts for a DOHC engine because 9 out of 10 times in a wrecking yard its going to be a SOHC parts car.

>>14961213
325k kms is getting up there
But its only $1k
Fwd skids for 6mths then bin it

Is there any I6 car that's 4 door and under 1500kg?
Maybe 2 door if it still has 5 seats.
Only thing is I'm not interested in a Skyline.

>>14961258
fuck off poof. 10hp makes all the difference on a car like that.
clearly never touched a sexcel.

>>14961279
falcon with the interior pulled out

>>14961296
cunt, my mates 90hp SOHC sexcel flies off the mark, uses fuck all fuel, reasonably comfy all while being retardedly cheap at $100. DOHC is better but SOHC is still very good
>makes all the difference
with what? who can race to jamals house quicker to suck his diiiiicckk

>>14961279
Chaser or maybe a Cressy?

>>14961306
Yeah, I wouldn't mind an XR6 turbo but they're so fucking fat.

>>14961227
yeah but that 10 extra hp is like double the power for an excel

>>14961279
power requirements?

Valiants are cheapest 70's large car and pov packs are under 1500kg. E series falcons are cheap 4 door I6 and half the time you can buy a manual E series falcon for under 1000 bucks running. Maybe an old BMW?

But yes, I think you're paying too much.

>>14961013
I bought the ones that can handle 2000kg each one so I never had to worry about them breaking

>>14961399
just want it for a driver, im not looking at restoring anything, just fix things economically, keep it tidy and driving it

>>14961414
It will be a shit daily driver, get something else.
How much do you have to spend?

>>14961421
up to 1200 for the car. dont know how much ill end up spending on it to fix it.

ive already got a '91 liberty, so i can keep this centura under wraps

>>14961218
i drove it to coles just 30 minutes ago theres no problems.

not sure if it is the tranny tho.

theres like clunking and it thrusts around when you shift while parked

>>14961438
also I got full compo since if I do an insurance job they'll pay me out the full amount that I paid for it 2 years ago right?

>>14961435
Don't bother, you obviously don't have much money. The thing isn't road worthy and who knows what it'll take to get the RWC.
Why do you want it if you already have the Liberty?

Alright lads

P plates for next 2 years

Budget up to 45 grand. What should I grab

>>14961456
a 45" dildo

>>14961456
What kind of car are you looking for?

>>14961452
i thought it looked cool, i hope someone outbids me, must of been an impulse buy. last time it was listed it went for 1900 so i really hope someone bids over my 1200

just wanted a change from the liberty, no reason other than that

>>14961474
2 door coupe, sports lad

Thinking s2k but most are riced out and thrashed and if there is a clean one they are asking way too much duno if its worth it on such an old guy

no miatas

maybe z4 duno

>>14961456
Cheapest reliable car you can find and a decent motorbike for when you want some fun.

Buying a "fun" car on your P's is a bit silly imo, you're better off buying something mad once you're able to turbo/V8 etc.

Plus all the "fun" P plater cars are thrashed to fuck/ruined.

>>14961456
E series falcon for 1000 bucks or sexcel

you dont need to buy a new car at this stage, you're a P plater. Anyway, all the really fun stuff comes with a full license

>>14961456
Cheap car now, good car when you're off your Ps. Where are you getting this money anyway? I seriously hope you're not planning on getting any sort of loan for your first car.

wait, do some nigger states have restrictions on cars for P platers?

cucked lmao

>>14961484
Already had an R1 I just sold it a few days ago

Maybe I'll just sell my current 86 and upgrade to a 2016 one.

I work. I'm 22 and 2nd year on greens I just got my license really fucking late. Feels bad cunts at 22 will be driving turbos and v8s

>>14961521
>i work

lmao

>>14961480
>>14961521
A used Lotus Elise 111S Maybe.

Why not just wait until the end of the year and get whatever car you want? Pick up a cheaper car that you can DD until then and turn that cheap car into a project or something when you're on opens

>>14961521
>I just got my license really fucking late
no you didnt

>>14961521
Why would you bother wasting your money though?
Save for a house mate.

>>14961521

That doesn't make sense, unless it was a track bike.

>>14961528
kek

>>14961541
what

>>14961531
end of the year?

I have exactly 22 months on greens remaining

>>14961554
already have a house, and a investment property which is being rented out and paying for itself. only making like 25 dollars profit a month on it but the value is going up will sell it in a few years time.

and it's not like I can exactly declare this money that I'm using to buy the car with anyway. Maybe ill just keep my current 86. I paid 26,500 for it brand new MY2014. Deal of the century

Oh look rich fag anon is back I wonder if he has any new shit post material

>>14961521
>I don't want some shitbox
So you're stuck with an 86/BRZ new.

Get a used S2K.

>>14961621
Probably just excuses for not buying that Exige most likely.

whats should you do when buying used car (i don't care about engine on it)? how do people check under carpets for rust, does it just pull up (won't most people freak out if you ask can you pull up their carpets)? so far what i think is just look at engine bay areas like around firewall/cowl, under fenders and the underbody, then in boot like strut tower and near windows/pillars for any spots too.

also can you check for crash history/KMs done when it was registed online by searching VIN in aus?

>rare car
>average price considering rarity I guess
>seems in good condition
>low kms

>but those p-plates
>and those JAYDEE-EM car meet pics
how the fuck does a p-plater afford a car like that, considering it isnt rego'd so he can't drive it so he needs to have another car
also how did it get to the meet and location for those pics if it hasnt been rego'd in 6 years

>>14962107
i've already read sticky, i don't care about the engine so most of that is pointless (besides the check for missmatched suspension etc.) i'm more just asking about VIN check and how you check under carpets for rust (since i googled before how to check rust, but i thought carpets were 'glued' in so can't really check, and owners won't want you messing with it to not buy it).. plus to make sure that what i said sounds right for checking rust

>>14962142
because not everyone who's a p plater is a fucking 18 year old.

some people don't have a desire to learn to drive until later in life, then they realize what they missed out on and really get into it.

>>14962146
Get under it or take it to a mechanic for an inspection.

>>14962142
message and ask him
probably rich parents, dealer, or worked from young and saved all his money.. or combination of those

>>14962146
>checking floor pans
new cars dont rust anywhere near as bad as old cars. The last time i heard rust was common on floorpans were cars from the 70's. If you're really paranoid, tap the floor pans and if its solid, great. Never done a VIN check but it usually comes up on the license plate if the car is dodgy in some way. Just make sure the VIN number and compliance number are the same

Regarding crash history, just check panel gaps are consistent, paint isn't cracked, nothing is split etc. I used to own a VR Statesman that had a front end collision, which i found out later with research.Ffrom a few feet away it was fine looking until you got close and noticed the paint difference on the bumper to panels, the hood latch was dicky, the hood didn't shut properly and the radiator support rail was pushed in

>>14962155
judging by the guy in the drivers seat i'm gonna have to say nah
looks 18

>>14962166
we should get lowballer-anon in here, asking if he can get some eccies or weed with the deal

>>14962169
Yea, but he's right. There's lots of cunts who are not 18 and on P's because they had no-one to teach them or get them into cars until later.

>>14962142
Not everyone is a poorfag neet
Some young people work 40 hours a week and put all their money into something other than getting pissed every weekend

>>14962183
>Some young people work 40 hours a week and put all their money into 25+ year old automatic unrego'd tired "collectable" toyotas before selling it again

>>14962168
ah ok. it didn't have license plate on it, and it's old car plus he hasn't registered for a few months. it's got fender damage too, which why i want to check if vin's do show crash history, plus the KMs on it are pretty low for how old the car is..
what kind of fender damage would mean you can't get it registered? because the one just looks like the nudged a car or something and didn't look that bad.. but haven't seen in person

i had deja vu messaging about it too. like i had a dream or something before where i messaged someone with exact phrases and it turned out to be bad later on after buying.

it's only cheap though anyways. i only want to buy for a car to work on to learn how to engine swap and other things like painting/fabricating, so if i fucked up it wouldn't be as bad.

>>14962107

>can't see the front plate
the eyes might not, but the cameras will.

friend got flashed doin 140, cameras are so good, could where the tread was worn in the picture

>>14963006
since when do they abandon? i thought they just said " we abandoned the chase moments before the crash" like they always do

>>14963040
It's not up to their discretion. It used to be the way over 20 years ago, but these days with public liability and safe working procedures there's a lot of red tape in regards to how police are allowed to apprehend. With radios and Polair, for the most part maintaining a high speed pursuit is redundant these days.

>>14963068
>"we abandoned the chase moments before the crash" like they always do
Also this. Which you hear hilariously often.

Is anyone else live streaming the F1 on Tenplay? I'm getting really low video quality even though my internet connection should be more than fast enough for higher quality. It occasionally loads high quality but never for very long.

>>14963100

Its live on one

jimmy confirmed better than bldc

How does getting a car looked at by a mechanic? Should it be the seller or potential buyer that chooses the mechanic? Is there a mobile mechanic that can come out and inspect the car? I haven't had a car looked over by a mechanic before, any tips?

It's on gumtree, and in SA. I looked at it, seemed really good, a odd sound I noticed raised a bit of concern

>>14963771
I've never done it but I'm assuming you call a local mechanic before hand and arrange it along with a test drive, tell the seller you want an inspection

>>14963068
cameras will usually snag a good picture at basically any speed
depending on the mathod of triggering the picture, you might be able to go fast enough for it to not trigger at all

>>14963805
I've just sent a message to the seller, asked if it was still for sale, and if it would be possible to take it to an mechanic for an inspection. It's just a 2 grand car at the highest end of it's value

>>14963891
>>14963771
you generally always want to chose the mechanic. especially with a dealer.

>>14963891

nice fallacy m8
if anything, 30 years ago there would've been more virgins since religion and celibacy til marriage played a larger part

although in fairness the rise of computer entertainment very likely increased the number of anti-social shutins

>>14967023
I would but there is just no way to change them all. Aside from the grills, there is the airbag, wheels, HuD, and radio. Those you can do but Id still have the seats and dash stiches logo. Im just going to embrace the bowties and plastidip them black. I also dechromed the side window moldings, vents, and put new painted door handles on, but my pictures exceed the size limit

>>14967101
>nice fallacy m8
not a fallacy m80, wasn't part of an argument

there where probably more young virgins, but that should have dropped rapidly after some point

>>14967128
why?
it's not like families were finding partners for their children
it's not like free love and liberal attitudes didn't exist
the only major difference is tinder+dating sites and feminism, which enable attractive men to get more pussy and women to not feel ashamed about selecting partners solely on their appearance

>>14967109
just do the exterior badges m8.
the meme here is that commodores get chevy badges front and rear but the rest of the car says holden, even more laughable when they only do the rear badge
in short you can do the exterior ones and it'll be good if your OCD can handle it

I'm going to do the mechanic, the RAA inspection is $280. But she wants someone to come out, can;t take it to someone. $280 is a bit much for a 2000 dollar car.

Pre-arrange with the mechanic for a time to bring it it, organise with the seller to either meet you there or lend you the car to take there yourself if they're nice.

Mechanic looks it over, prepares some sort of report/list of things they've found wrong with it and then you discuss with the mechanic for a rough idea of how much it would cost to put all the things they've found right.

Then you use that as a bargaining tool with the seller to knock the price down.

Everything is working perfectly when it's on the stand.

Moment there's weight on the rear wheel the brake starts dragging. Upon closer inspection the wheel isn't straight.

Plan to do fork seals, and change the bearings and axle. If there's still issues I'll have to tow it down to the race shop in Lonsdale and have the frame measured out.

It's hard to photograph but you might be able to see it here.

he didn't reply after I asked for the VIN/chassis number though.. which was weird because he was replying right before hand then just didn't reply anything at all, and then got message in morning that he sold it..

either way it'd be better if i just wait for a 4th gen since I want one of them more and they're better/newer.
will people ever not want to give out VIN/chassis number for some reason? Like will some people think you're trying to steal their number or think you shouldn't give it out or something weird like that?

depends on age.
I wouldn't go above 180, <160 is prime

Someone should edit in a dose instead of the tuturu

>>14969447
I almost thought it was a Kwak engined Rickman... What is it?

>>14969447
Hipsters have made me hate that look. Especially the rear suspension

>>14969638
I understand the hate of chopping up newer bikes to look retro

but bikes of that era are plenty fine to look like that, fucking dig the oldschool racebike aesthetics

I may as well, I don't want to buy a rust ridden Falcon. Think I could use the price of the inspection to bring down the price of the car a little, even if nothing shows up to be wrong? The car is up for 2300, yet the maximum price on redbook is 900 - 2000, I'm pretty sure the engine has been swapped out for one with less kms, but the body has 374000 on it. I think I could get it down to 1500

>>14969729
Hope for 1500 but realistically you'll probably pay 1800-2000. Also if anything gets marked as being a problem on the list, use it as a tool to drive the price down since "oh yeah its got this wrong according to the RAA, so i'll need to pay to fix that".

>>14969742
That's the Plan, hopefully it's not rust ridden

>>14969757
A little rust is no big deal unless you plan on keeping the car for decades. If it's just a DD beater then don't worry about it.

But if it's auto and the list says there's transmission issues then run. The transmissions on AUs are notoriously shitty.

>>14969757
rust is natures light weight kit.
>>14969729
just be honest with him, tell him you dont think its worth that much and make a reasonable offer. and never pay more than you want to

>>14969765
I just hear a few stories about the older falcons being really rusty. It's a manual EBII, and it's just for 2 years at least, until I get my full license

>>14969797
If it's manual and you only plan on having it for about 2 years, you're all good mate. But like >>14969792, don't pay more than you want to.

>>14969792
I have my limit on 1800, offer 1500 and hopefully they say something like 1800, isn't that how it goes?

>>14969805
Pretty much. Also if he goes 1800, just go with 1750. That extra $50 can buy you a filter or other essential basic maintenance shit.

are valiants, E series falcons and sexcels new /dat/ meme cars?

>>14969832
you mean boomer vehicles, cheap v8's and cheap cars?

by interpretation, yes, cheap shit is good

What are the legal guidelines on engine swapping?

From what I've seen engines older than the car it's going into is a no go?
