Long story short he was a dumb cunt neet who made various bad car choices which ended up in him putting 5L of oil into an astra which was already knocking and it threw a rod and burnt to the ground.

Well, sort of. What actually happened was him and MX5anon went for a cruise with a jerry can of petrol, parked up on the side of the road, doused the car with petrol and lit it on fire for the insurance payout.

Don't have the photos myself, but there were a couple with said jerry can in the background.

Roughly 3 or 4 years ago a new trip appeared called Jimmy Strings and he had a Ford Falcon AU. His posts were small and normal at first but he posted about himself a lot and blogged across /dat/ and eventually about the AU having issues.

The true meme story begins when he went looking for a new car and asked /dat/ about getting a Toyota MR2 SW20 with a fake VIN and unpainted bodykit. /dat/ told him not too but he wanted the MR2 badly. He bought it and was proud of it but /dat/ laughed and said he's fucked which he didn't believe. Soon the MR2 had issues such as a broken AC and a fucked alternator and then the speeding fines started. Jimmy then got a $1200 and lost his license for 6 months but purchased a bright blue Astra convertible against /dat/s advice once again. He tried desperately to sell the MR2 but eventually traded it to a wog for a BMW E39. He sold the MR2 a short while later since he didn't like the BMW. He then used the Astra for the time he had left before his license would be taken. The Astra then sat for 12 months before being used again, by which time it was having issues and Jimmy needed to sell it fast. But against /dat/ advice again, instead of selling the first Astra, he bought a second Astra for a $1000 bid on eBay. Two days before a /dat/ meet, he'd registered and insured the new Astra and wanted to take it to the meet. The new Astra had known issues but Jimmy never said what. The Astra subsequently caught fire while going 100kmph and Jimmy pulled over and dove out of the car before it was fully engulfed in flames. The CFS showed up to put it out and as insult to injury, he was asked infront of other /dat/ members it the Astra was his girlfriends car. The event was well covered by anons at the meet and pictures and webms soon followed.

Part 2 about the Audi coming soon. I forget the exact time frames but Jimmy lost his license twice and had 3 speeding fines.

>>16383082
He doesn't actually know anything about anything, and is quick to offer "helpful advice" on a subject/vehicle he's never had anything to do with, based on nothing more than /o/ based rhetoric in order to help him feel as though his e-peen is bigger.
Basically, he wants to be worshiped, so he targets people he feels know even less than him in order to sound smart without considering how insidious his "helpful advice" may actually be. He'd be alright if he didn't pretend to know everything.

Just got my blacks, my 98 corolla has finally died on me too.
What kinda car should I get?
I kinda liked the corolla because I could feel like I'm driving fast and hit corners hard without feeling like I'm gonna die. When I drive my dads commodore it just feels big and sluggish, and I have to slow down loads at corners so I don't slide.

Actually, this summary really reminds me of just how fucked the guy is. He shouldn't even have a license. He keeps on buying these awful, awful cars and whinges about having no money. He spent pretty much an entire year in these threads posting shit like "jimmy died" and "jimmy is kill" as an Anon. I actually suspect he might have a case of clinical retardation.

Hear me out. It's the exact same chassis as the turbo, with the differences being...

>Diff
>Transmission

All of these can eventually be replaced when you have money and you'll have a turbo supra!

It's something you can build up over time and make really good with some nice work.

Just saying it as it is, although it seems I might have struck a cord given the quick reply and claims of "I dun care wot yall think".
If you weren't a fuckwit overcompensating for being a friendless NEET IRL, you might be alright. Hell, there's plenty of other friendless NEETs here that don't feel the urge to overcompensate.

Quite a bit of wear on the boot door, I know he just paid something around $1400 repairing something engine related but I can't remember off the top of my head what.

Part 2 | The Audi TT

Jimmy then decided to buy another new car despite still having the original Astra convertible, which was fucked, but driveable. He decided on a wagon this time and found a few potentials, including a Subaru wagon for only $2000, well below the value for the car. /dat/ said not to do it but Jimmy did it anyway. The Subaru soon developed issues such as duping its oil and smoking on the second day of owning it. At this time he also still owned the original Astra. He then sold the Subaru for far less than he paid for it. He decided on a bigger budget of $12000 of tax payer money to buy an Audi TT in classic Jimmy blue, while still having the original Astra convertible. He eventually sold the Astra and has been driving the Audi ever since.

>>16383107
>He spent pretty much an entire year in these threads posting shit like "jimmy died" and "jimmy is kill" as an Anon
He did that when he didn't have his license. I'll revise the story and put it in a pastebin,
>>
>>16383109
I'm sort of hoping that he doesn't hang around anymore.

That Jimmyshit stuff went on for quite literally a year. An entire fucking year where half of all posts in /dat/ was shit like "JIMMY IS KILL".

Yes, we managed to figure that out after a while... but just like, why? Why waste so much time being an annoying shitposter online?

I get it, Falcunt just is an annoying shitposter. It's innate to his very soul and character. But Jimmy actually started out here somewhat normal.
>>
>>16383129
He still lurks here, he posted an invoice with parts blacked out a while back as an anon claiming it was for a Commodore but anons looked up the parts numbers and found they were VAG/Audi parts, some specifically for a TT. That JIMMY IS KILL shit was really fucking stupid too but expecting anything but that from Jimmy is a mistake.
>>
>>16383114

Only pick up an old GT Forester if you're willing to throw a fuck ton of cash at it or if the previous owner has thrown a fuck ton of cash at it (and not on sick mawds, just proper maintenance). If it doesn't have a full service history since day 1 I wouldn't touch it.

>I know he just paid something around $1400 repairing something engine related but I can't remember off the top of my head what.

Chances are that's just the routine 200,000k service, good chunk of that is the timing belt being replaced. Services aren't cheap.

200,000 - 250,000 is when most GT's suffer catastrophic failures that aren't economically viable to fix, if you do buy it fully expect to have to replace either the engine, gearbox or clutch...or all three.... in the next 50,000k's

With that said I love my GT and plan on keeping it until at least 400,000k's

>>
>>16383132
I can barely remember back when he first started posting since it was years ago but he was pretty obviously a bit of an autist. He just seemed to get more comfortable letting it out as time went on.
>>
>>16383138
we all do that from time to time.

the difference is he's fucking obvious as all fuck.

on a lighter note my local race shop opens next week so hopefully we can get a box ordered and go from there.

i knew the 4l60e grenading meme when i bought the car, pretty much budgeted for it ages ago.

Any actual carfags on here know how much roughly its gonna cost in parts?

a decent reco box + stally is like $1500+ shipping as far as i can tell.
>>
>>16383141
i used to be fairly normal before i discovered this fucking site and my real life started fading away long before i got here.

I kinda like this place though not many web 1.0 sort of sites like 4chan that actually stay the same.

Only thing thats changed is a newer shittier admin and more retarded posters.

even the fucking ui is almost 100% the same

i guess this place is only comfy for weird/o/s like us

he wasnt subtle about it though. other trips are go unnoticed but jimmy was painfully obvious. that jimmy is kill bullshit didnt help either.

He was the one who went fully autistic over the guy with the 318i that crashed in the hills, demanding that he post pictures of the damage.

He was also the one that raged like a mouth breather at Bridgestone for seemingly no reason at all, called him a cunt among various other things. We later found out that it was because Bridgestoned refused to give him free weed. Suspect it's the main reason why Bridgestoned doesn't hang out here anymore.

Lastly, Jimmy is the guy who always rages about the guy with the Lexcen. So he still hangs around occasionally.
>>
>>16383150
Are you sure? Him and 318iguy were irl buddies
>>
>>16383150
Also Bridgestoned lost his license a while back for driving high, that's why he doesn't post anymore

>>16383152
Apparently not. Jimmy went full autism at that 318 guy for not posting pictures of the crash immediately. 318 posted a few hours after the crash and was going to post pics but saw the posts and said he wouldn't just to spite Jimmy.
After that we got to deal with almost a month of Jimmy sperging at 318 for photos.

He also sperged hard at Bridgestoned for a full YEAR calling him a cunt all because he didn't get free 420. This is all probably why the old SA cunts don't even post or go to meets anymore.
>>
>>16383174
i'm only suggesting it because he does not have 30 grand to buy a quality one with no problems.

he can pick up an auto for 5k with a bit of haggle and pour the money in over time.

sure, it will suck to start but get better over time and since the chassis is identical, eventually it will become a full fledged one.

The only person that would have been that autistic over images of 318 guy's car after being crashed would be Jimmy. Two weeks of "fuck you just post the fucking pictures of the car you cunt".

What always struck me as odd about Jimmy is that he would be really friendly with people and then go full autist and decide that he doesn't like them anymore, and slag them off on /o/.

Right, I just remembered, also in the car fire was a brand new $300 amp and 150 dolla battery, fucking retard. Very likely worth more than the astra considering he got it off an eBay auction

That is such a dumb fucking idea, mate. Once you've wasted 50k converting a 5 grand car into a wannabe 30k car (keeping in mind when you sell it, you'll be lucky to get 2/3 of a stock TT), you'll realise what a piece of shit dragqueen the supra is.

There's much shitboxes to do up with a budget of 5k.
>>
>>16383215
>Besides the cringy jimmy is kill shirt and horrendous car he seemed fine.
again, when you turned your back, he'd talk shit like a cunt. my guess has always been he gets really embarrassed at his own misfortune and stupidity and has to lash out at others to feel better.

>>
>>16383244
confirmed for never having built/converted a car. The big costs are in the small stupid shit you dont account for when planning a build (granted 50k is excessive but your figures are way off in the real world). not to mention the fucking thing will be off the road for at least a few weeks so you'll need alternative transport. Just buy a turbo one and be done with it, you'll spend that money anyway

How the fuck goes a LSD diff cost 2k? Holy what the flying spaghetti Mcfack??

God poopras are memes.

I know /o/ likes to shit on dunnydore but the price of everything is literally 10x less and the earlier VN and vxs can turn

>>16383256
>had a hot car though.
lol
>>
>>16383258
2k is pretty cheap in the scheme of things. A diff that connects to a motorcycle box for busa swaps runs up to 5k

2k on my shitboxes would almost buy me another entire car.

Vx1s are like 3-5k and the LS1 models come std with LSD not just the SS or Calais.

They are seriously cheap and if anon was seriously considering buying a poopra he should at least consider a folden commonwhore as a daily

>>16383257
Oh my god, this. This so much. There's so much little shit that you forget about. Like, when I rebuilt the hachi, I had to buy so much shit that I didn't think of when initially planning the budget. Timing belt kit, that was $150. Various oils and a lot of coolant, that would have been close to $300 all up. Replacement bolts, $100 there for flywheel bolts, crank pulley bolt, and various other studs and nuts that mount on the block. Radiator and heater hoses, another $150. ITB filters, $250. Engine hooks, $50.

Then there's the extra tooling needed. Engine crane, that was $300. Strangely sized sockets, spanners, or deep sockets - $150. Drill bits and thread taps - $30.

Consumables. Would have spent $250 all up on grease, paint, that Toyota gasket maker goo, degreaser, brake cleaner, and more.

Then there's transporting a non-running car to and from the shop. Only time I ran into that issue was getting it from Sydney to home, but that was nearly $500.

Maybe $2k was a tad excessive. Good 2-way LSD center will cost around $1200 new. Same prices for my shitbox as well.

i'm aware of the little things, i was also overestimating my costs.

you can find shit cheaper if you're patient and wait for it to come up.

my point was he is MASSIVELY overestimating 50k for such a build and shitting on the idea for no good reason.

if he has a valid point other than memes, i would love to hear it.

i offered a suggestion to a bloke short on cash for a project he can work on over time and turn into something great at the end (which is true).

50k is utter fucking bullshit for such a conversion unless you're paying a shop to hold your hand the entire way.

>>16383258
it's 2k or so for a quality aftermarket one, a regular one is like 700.

but a supra actually can handle, despite what morons think. way better than a commo can.

Poopras can't handle.

They are fucking overpriced as fuck and for the money it's not worth it as you said it's cheaper to get a car with the work already done.
>>
>>16383340
Bullshit mate. Of course they can't handle like a rx-7, but they will walk circles on a commo in the corners.

They're quite light compared to modern cars.

I don't think anyone here's claiming they're the ultimate in handling, but they are nowhere near a mustang with leaf springs.

Hell, just look at orido's supra. That thing's a god, it kept up with a f40 on video option's runs.
>>
>>16383340
I dunno man for 30k a car capable of running 10's is pretty damn good.

Not saying it's the ONLY option out there but don't knock it

It does have meme tax applied of course, but you do get a cool cockpit interior.
>>
>>16383346

>>16383354
He asked for a 10 second car not a 50k moneypit.

Even though I bang on about dunnydoor throw some stuff suspension and or coilovers on them and the actually can handle.

Even though they are what 1550kg+ in V8 trim
>>
excels are gud
>>
>>16383370
No
>>
>>16383363
The supra is like 1500, more aerodynamic and a better center of gravity.

Some cunts go and get carbon fibre panels and bring it down to like 1250, i mean the aftermarket for it is a double edged sword.

On one end, stock parts get memetaxed to living fuck.

On the other hand, aftermarket alternatives are all over the place and the sky's the limit if you want to make a supra crazy.

Quads made a good point about it being a nice project car, since it can be taken in various directions. You can go for all out power or handling or even both as your budget permits, it's a fun car and the interior is great.

You should have an open mind, i really love when my mate lets me have a go of his, it's a top car.

Do not trust
>>
>>16383506
jesus fucking christ mate you can't make this shit up

15k on a fucking falcon?

>>
>>16383550
Ex-taxi AU as well.
>>
>>16383550
15k on a supra is like an extra 200-300kw

You're getting your money's worth. I also had no idea he spent 15k on a falcon, that is fucking superb. If i ever come to coffs i will beat his head in for being such a dumb cunt.

Probably is a fucking taxi driver curry munchin cunt.
>>
>>16383550
Far as I know he blew it on repairing all the damage he caused to it while hooning it/crashing it in a McDonald's drive-thru, probably a couple transmission rebuilds and an engine rebuild (note: rebuild, not swap for a fresher one from a junkyard) for good measure too.

Oh, and some ROH wheels that should have stayed in the 90's and some drainpipe for an exhaust system.

Could've had a decent XR6T for that sort of money but nope...just a ruined automagic maroon base model AU.
>>
>>16385788
>Could've had a decent XR6T for that sort of money but nope...just a ruined automagic maroon base model AU
He would never buy such a car because "their all thrashed". The irony.

>>16385788
It's also worth noting he didn't sell the AU either, he gave it away to his friend.

I sometimes wonder whether Jimmy bought all those awful cars on purpose/out of spite, because I can't fathom why you'd buy them otherwise when you've got the internet shouting at you and giving you over nine thousand reasons not to do it.

People, man.
>>
>>16386008
>I sometimes wonder whether Jimmy bought all those awful cars on purpose/out of spite
considering just how much money and how dangerous a lot of these cars have been, i really think it was entirely because hes stupid.
somehow common sense didnt occur to him when he bought a car on ebay for well below what it should cost and then putting in a super expensive sound system only for it to burn a few days later.

BRIEF RUNDOWN FROM E30 NERD
>>>>Series 1, 1984 ish to 1989
Series 1s rust. They're older tech. Look a little different due to chrome bumpers and different taillights.
Prices are for manual coupes
>318i, M10
Slow as shit, Kinda fun though. Between 2k-4k.
>320i
Really shit. Sounds good, very slow, bad on fuel. Injection system is often unreliable. Gearbox and diff is 4 cylinder type which is weak2k-4k.
>323i
Less slow, but not much. Same as 320 except with bigger gearbox and diff. 3k-6k
>325i
Hard to find. Less slow again. 5k-10k

>>>>>Series 2, 1989-1992
Series 2s rust much less than S1s. All have better injection systems that are much more reliable and efficient.
>318i, M40
Valvetrain dies with regularity once at higher km. Slow. Sound shitty. 2k-4k.
>318is, M42
Fucking retarded amounts of fun. Need ECU chip to gain full potential that they need. Very balanced and a spectacular driver's car once sorted. Also very reliable and fuel efficient. 8k-20k
>325i
Not too slow surprisingly. Good car, albeit a little heavy in the nose. Sound awesome. 5k-10k
>325is
Same as a 325i except better kit. Much rarer and with a different bodykit.
15k-30k


My pick is a 318is. I have one, albeit a bit bent. It was great fun.
They have huge upgrade potential as BMWs are like lego. Maintenance parts are stupid cheap.
Treat them right and they treat you right. Values for all are on their way up.

Bhg and overheating/cooling problems and they are unareodynamic as fuck unstable front end at high speed front tyres lift off very dangerous in the wet.

Handle and drift fairly well though and the gearbox is solid.

Grande models come with LSD as well my mum's one was a turd expect rust problems and shit like that.

They also love to chew piston rings and leak oil.

Jz and UZ swapps are very common I gave my rolling shell away it only needed an engine

It was pretty fucked. Maintenance had not been done at all.
Spent a year on a supermarket budget going through the entire car mechanically. New bushes, brakes, coils, diff, driveshaft, steering rack, engine and transmission mounts, etc etc. Was a proper little weapon once I was done with handling stuff.
Was just about to start on the turbo build with fully forged engine and custom one-off forward facing intake (all of which I still have) when this happened.

It will be returning soon
>>
>>16388311
It's still pretty aesthetic for a barge. Nothing like a BMW of any sort though, unless some autistic shitter wants to argue about the "mustache" grille.

Looks good when clean in that gold colour, and the only "rice" I could recommend would be SS trim bits (if not just an SS in the first place) and something like a blacked out Holden badge and a glossy black roof.

That's still fat as fuck by today's standards but Lolden hasn't given a shit about weight for decades.

You'd be making a comfy cruiser with plenty of straight line power out of it if anything, though. Jap crap for lightweight, well-handling RWD and old Falcodores for highway monsters.

I just restored the lights on my trueno...After 27 years they came up pretty decent.

Anybody else undergone this process?
>>
>>16388368
10k for upgrades is ballpark. Never kept actual check of how much I spent. Did waste some money though.
For example:
Diff, rare ratio and lock % was $1200 shipped
Driveshaft was $1k rebuilt
Brakes were I think $1200 all up ish.
Coils were $1300 second hand.

Can be done a lot cheaper if you only want OEM.

Wow /o/ hates V8 dunnydoors now

The 5.7 literally is not a p player car.

The 5.0 is though
>>
The E30 is a meme car now though, which brings higher prices simply because of what it is, not necessarily performance. We didn't get the E30 M3 in Australia so now people are buying up the 325i and 318is in good condition.

Honestly unless you can get a manual six cylinder e30 for under $2000 in okay-ish condition, I don't think they are worth buying. The E36 and the E46 are cheaper now and they have better engines.

If you're really set on an E30 though, you could buy a cheap 4 cylinder car in good condition and then swap in the M20 from a E34 525i for cheap. Exactly the same running gear, even the gearbox cross member fits.
>>
>>16388445
Most cars are men cars.

The only reason I am recommending dunnydoors is because they are under rated ATM especially the older early 2000s ones

Heck BMW's are massively over rated and overpriced but you don't see me whinging about it

The only Commodores that aren't now bogan trash are VEs and VFs since they're still too expensive for them.

I saw a low mileage E39 540i go for $5,000, they are fantastic cars compared to the local offerings. Once the richcunts drop them and they lose their status value, they are worth absolutely fuck all.

Some cunt would have paid $150,000 for that car.

M30 is prehistoric. The only E34 worth buying is the 540i and almost all of them are automatics and flogged by wogs in the 00s.

Looks like a dud. Fucked paint and the cunt has retrofitted the later bumpers on the car.

Try this:

http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/maroochydore/cars-vans-utes/bmw-sedan/1133955067

Call the cunt up and ask him if it's a 4 or 6 cylinder.

Really though the bargains with E30s are coming to an end. I got given one by a stranger on gumtree, put a battery and fuel in it, hooned around for 6 months and sold it for $2700.

I bought another that was running for $500.

The red one is an original example that I paid $5,000 for.

I was sorta interested in them at one time but I can't stand their anaemic motors.

>>16388479

Saw that one earlier, it has something fucked deep in the engine that makes it blow smoke on start up. Oil separator or something, big job to fix.

Get one under 200,000km and under $5,000, fix all the maintenance things on it then slap a supercharger on from America.

But then again you could just buy an XR6 Turbo.

>>16388466
>M30 is prehistoric
Might be so, but doesn't make it any less brilliant of an engine. The simple fact that Getrag 5spd manual 535s are more readily available here than manual 540s makes it a better option.
manual 535i>slushbox 540i. Unless you want a gentle cruising poser car.

disclaimer, I still love my M60 variants.

>>16388451
At this point what isn't bogan or wog trash? Commodores are gone, Skylines are gone, and now Habib and the rest of the cunts are moving onto the E46. S-chassis have always been the domain of cunts, what with the bright orange paintjobs and gaudy body kits.

If you're looking for a car to impress your normie friends, lease a new bottom trim 3 Series and refer to it as your "Beemer".

Crossovers, supercars, and $100k+ sports cars.

Trouble is, 90% of the population of Australia are now considered bogans.

All of which you will find somewhere with a Chevy badge and that oddly specific stance with the rear wheels lowered excessively.

By no means are the cars ruined, of course. To be put off Falcodores or Skidlines because some sneering cunt is going to think less of you is folly, for he'll always find something to whinge about.

>>16388656
Rear main, sump and valve stems leaking oil.

Heads need recon as well.

Doesn't burn oil or have anything major like blowby or smoke so I could probably get away with it but I am getting the oil pump and bottom end gaskits and rings done for peace of mind.

That way I won't have to worry about it shitting out later since it has 225k on it all original

>>16388664
Nothing about a vx is cheap.

Alot if not most of them get abused hence why everyone below a hsv is trashed.

Dunno why old blokes hate them they are literally my generations Kingswood.

How are they trash? Sure 99.99999% of dunnydoors drivers are shitheads but the actual cars are fine.

I used to hate Holden and especially Ford but having owned them they get beat on much more than most generic shit boxes and keep going hence why blokes likely think they are trash.

Silly to hate on a decent car because of the average driver.

It's a pity, but that seems to be British engineering as a whole. The eternal Anglo strikes again.

I suppose I'll have to settle for driving something else that I like, and not caring about the opinions of soccer moms and Camry-driving cock jockeys who believe speed cameras are for safety and that every K over is a killer.
>>
>>16388682
Heads need new valves, springs and pushrods to suit a bigger cam.

Not gonna bother with anything else up there aftermarket heads and intake and porting seem like a waste of moolah.

All my bottom end needs is gaskits really
