Ripstarts in Thailand

Ripstarts are for weak cunts

/dat/ natural selection begins!

Ripstarts are awesome

>>16520275
so first it was a buick and now its an opel?

What the fuck is it with asian arrogance about their shitmobiles in this fucking country

I honestly liked the Buick LaCrosse better. It looked more like a Holden too.

>>16520275
why does that opel look like chinkshit

>>16520295
its gone full circle

used to be aussie made with the kingswoods

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holden_Kingswood

then went to these

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opel_Rekord_Series_E

Then these

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opel_Omega

then

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GM_Zeta_platform

now we're currently at these (LHD only)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GM_Alpha_platform

So we never got them because GM doesnt have a fucking global lhd/rhd platform still in 2018 model year

Fucking retarded

so we got this instead

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opel_Insignia

Its a decent platform and the germans seem to strap big turbo's to them and get alrite performance out of the i4t and v6 twin turbo
>>16520307
>>16520316
Its part german part chinese ;_;

>>16520302
do you mean driving or car choice? i actually heard its because over there if you indiciate or look at someone, it menas you've given way and have to look out for everyone else BUT if you dont look or indicate, everyone else has to give way to you because you dont know theyre there. i can believe it too.

>>16520322
Car choice
fucking Pauline was right

Doesnt seem to get good reviews either

Hopefully some mad cunts start putting v8 crate motors in them

Fingers crossed for the Alpha chassis Commodore. its very possible for them to sell two different cars under the same name with an extra ending letter to differentiate the two chassis.

>>16520336
Its happening

rumblings we're getting it in 2019+

GM obviously jumped the gun and ended the Zeta platform early

>>16520321
>part german and part chinese
Do the Chinese make reliable cars in China? Or are they junk? I'm talking about their own home made cars like those BMW and Toyota rip offs they make.

>>16520352
Nigger most spare parts are made in china

its all about quality control.

>>16520334
We're getting a few unique engine options so it might be alright. Hopefully they make more AWDs than FWDs.

sounds like the auto needs a tune but the new 8-10 speed gm doesnt have a bloody aftermarket, hopefully tuners can fart around with it.

how many parts would be interchangeable? could i potentially convert a regular commodore into an opel?

Are there any other new imports that have gone unnoticed? Everyone's looking at the Mustang and Camaro but I want some Cadillacs and shit.

>>16520461
i've seen a few older 90s caddys going around. surely they've been imported but why would anyone want to import the boring ones?

245 Hemi. Bought the wagon as a cheap shit hauler, but the tappet noise turned into cylinder 5 dying and shitting the head gasket. Then i discover it had severe valve seat recession and a fucked cam.

Part of me wants to sell it as parts to some wog but another part of me wants to try major engine repairs for the first time

>>16520899
They imported and rebadged a few here. We also have Chevrolet Blazers from the same period too rebadged as Holdens. All RHD of course. I've actually seen quite a few around lately.

Seriously though why are Surburbans so expensive in ausland? is there a fetish for them? that old SUV is almost as expensive as a much newer Range Rover.

>>16521065
40 years of wog wear and neglect does everything

the sedan has been looked after mechanically for a long time but the last 5 years or so must of been rough on it with the farmers using it as a tow car, jacking up the rear end and carrying horsefloats through the adelaide hills. I restored proper suspension heights but the bushes needed replacing. I only go on /dat/ to bitch about them but in general its the greatest car ive ever owned. Its perfect imo

the wagon i bought as a long distance shit hauler. It has great paint and minimal rust. The motor is fucked big time from lack of maintenance. Apart from the engine itself everything else works perfectly with good suspension, chassis railing, interior and paint, in general its a decent car

>tl;dr the cars are old and neglected, so stuff breaks and i fix them. they're decent cars

>>16521895
Wow really? I've found a bunch of great ones in melbourne. Maybe it's the greek influence.

>>16521906
>melbourne
probably also because melbournians are more 'cultured' especially regarding food

I kind of ironically like low riders but the owners are druggy tools

>>16521919
Hate the people, not the food

>>16521923
This.

Same thing when i was in athens the food was amazing, the people where shit.

only nice place was the aussie hostel/hotel i stayed at in Akropoli with the Melbourne owner who'd come get drunk with us every night and sing karaoke

>>16521919
Idk about "cultured" just because we drink VB instead of XXXX and snort ket instead of coke.

>>16521932

carlsberg elephant.

First launched in 1959, it is strong like an elephant in both flavour and alcohol content, offering adventurous beer drinkers across the continent a unique and exotic taste experience.

No u first you sound slightly more normal than i sir
>>16521978
i am drinking Lazy Yak

>>16521970
Just as shitty as any other existance. Humans determine the ups and downs in their life based on past experiences and the more recent the experience the more value it holds, so every life, no matter how much better or worse it looks from your point of view, has ups and downs that feel equally shitty/good. I have crippling depression at time and i have weeks where i feel on top of the world.

>>16521983
I do like the yaks.

Stone and woods pacfic ale is one i can highly recommend too.

I don't get to drink decent beer that often just because i have a few mates at various dan murphys and they sell me the out of date beer for like $3-4 a slab. So i mostly drink out of date generic beers.

>>16521986
>Stone and woods pacfic ale is one i can highly recommend too.
yeah i was addicted to that for a while.

quit drinking so much a while ago now i just have the occasional slerp when i get extra down (which lately is alot)
>>16521984

And people still saying its terror related

been driving an mx5 for the last few years, wondering what my next car should be? I'd like something as good if not better than the MX in terms of handling and preferably kind of fast or tunable to be fast reasonably cheaply. Any ideas?

Anyway it doesnt seem to be terrorism related.

Yeah prices have skyrocketed the last 18 months or so, is crazy.

Recirc ball isnt great but its far from 'really shitty', and clean stock examples are about same cost as a ported or turbo one if 100hp is too gutless.

>>16522042
I've heard pretty but things but i'll have to drive one before i rule them out. I would really like one, the engine interests me and it'd make a good weekend car but i don't have a garage or any real money (Student) so i can't imagine one of these working for me just yet. Another option is a turbo'd engineered Mx-5 but then you're looking at 15k for a good one and 15k is a lot of money for an early Mx-5

Nope. The native extension does all the things I need. 4chanx had odd issues for me where opening replies inline resulted in them becoming semi-transparent.

>>16522023
Uh... RX-7 and MX5 aren't really that similar.

>>16522047
You really don't want to daily an RX-7. You wait 5-10 minutes before you go anywhere for it to warm up, wait 5 minutes at the other end for it to cool down, piss through fuel and oil anytime you go anywhere, and ruin the engine the moment you modify it any don't remap it.

I love rotaries but you REALLY don't want one as your daily. If you're a student you almost definitely can't afford to own one as well.

>>16522074
Prefer the sound of RB20, but RB25 are the better engine.

>>16522224
no

>>16522228
They kinda are. Both are renowned for their good handling and lower weight than others of their class, sure their engines are like day and night but they are very similar.

Just don't be a soft cunt in the corners.

Looking to buy a cheap (5k-6k), practical vehicle that is easy to wrench on and cheap to maintain. Mostly just for carting around dirt bike stuff, towing bikes, camping, fishing etc

So far thinking Subaru Forester, Subaru RS Wagon or maybe WRX/GT Foz, but I figure they'll all be heaps in my price range, Toyota Hiace, Toyota Hilux Twin Cab, Honda Civic, Mitsubishi Mirage, R31 Wagon.

Any other suggestions?

>>16522228
Yeah i pretty much figured this. Any other recommendations? S2000 and boxster both come up as ideas but i'd be scared of the boxster and i'm not such a fan of the s2000 styling

There are jews in australia?

>>16522295
Unfortunately, yes.

Wew lad, just another nail in the coffin for manually driven vehicles.

are Ebay steering wheel hubs as bad as people say?

what are some good brands that are durable but wont set me back as much as a nardi?

>>16522284
they media said he did burnouts before he ran everyone over, all i saw in the vids was him going round an intersection in circles.

am i mistaken or was it an attempt to affiliate murderers with car enthusiasts by the media?

>>16522349
yes
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SMxB4RpCDzA

>>16522356
Nah it was actually some fuckwit doing shitty "burnouts" in his commodore, but it just shits me that the media just had to specify religious beliefs of the victims

>>16522365
its pretty shit they had to bring it into it especially when religion had absolutley nothing to do with it. the attack wasnt fueled by a hatred towards some religion, but instead some fuckwit wanting to cause as much havoc as possible. if it was religion fueled he wouldnt have run over the people that werent affiliated to the certain belief but instead just jewish

cant really do anything exept point out the medias shittiness and not support them, they probably brought the point up so they had something different to talk about compared to the others ones that were discussing exactly the same shit

>>16522363
yeah fair enough you get for what you pay for haha do you know of any kind of middle of the range brand that wont warp or bend like that but also wont leave me broke?

>>16522349

No such thing as good and cheap, buy a genuine one. There are hundreds of videos of people bending knock offs with minimal effort.

100 to 150 bucks difference isn't worth dying for.

>>16522263
Honestly I'd run a junker as a student. I was commuting on my supersport for about 15 months but sick of checking every hour or two to make sure it wasn't stolen or damaged.

You get the same feeling with nice cars.

You can't honestly be surprised that an engineering student is capable of maintaining a 12A.

>>16522386
IAN, OH MAH GOHAHAHOD GET IN THE CAR

>>16522388
By just doing it

Read the workshop manual, start with basic servicing... watch videos and do your research

>>16522395
yeah true, guess i better start saving haha

>>16522388

Videos, hands on learning or and I highly recommend if you have limited knowledge buy/steal or rent the May & Simpson's Automotive Mechanics books, there are two of them. All fantastic information, has everything you need from what a spanner is up to rebuilding gearboxes and refreshing alternators.

There are things you can cheap out of and hit up eBay and buy from chen zheng china, but they all have to follow a pretty simple rule, it can't be a mechanically stressed item.

So no brakes/suspension engine internals/fuel system or anything steering related.

Pretty much body panels/wings or visual wank is it.

>>16522414
This, be prepared to make mistakes and potentially break expensive/hard to fix things

Bikes can be too loud?

>>16522480

We can still go louder.

>>16522483
There's pretty much nothing in it. The only thing in English for it is FOR TRACK USE ONLY.

There's also about a 2mm gap between part of the midpipe flange and the can. It's really loud.

>>16522465

Its straight pipe bombed motor, not city friendly.

Fun but can't do it daily around Brisbane.

>>16522467

Ok here is what I try and drill into all Apprentices.

Double check all your work, I still do it.

Tighten the oil filter
Take your hand away
Recheck tension

Tighten sump plug
Take spanner away
Recheck tension

Hell for a few months go and get a torque wrench, set it to 25nm and tighten sump plugs with it just to get the feel of 25nm in your hands (most sump plugs are 25ish nm).

You will fuck up, you are new to this, but learn from it. Now you will likely NEVER leave wheel nuts loose again will you? Also the torque bar for your rattle gun is not enough. Have a actual torque wrench with the correct tension for that car (normally 110nm for cars) and check every fucking nut.

Stay ahead of your training, read your bloody study books, then read them again. Stay on top of your training paperwork shit because if you fall behind its your career on the line.

Read/Study/Learn and if you don't know, ask someone who does. Having too much pride to ask is a failure point.

>>16522237
i didnt make this thread or the other one

also does anyone else run their bike and cars once or twice without muffler/exhaust just to see what they sound like?

I always make sure oil filters and sump plugs are tight, still trying to get a feel for bolt tightness though

I have already learnt the hard way how soft alloy is, I completely stripped an alloy brake caliper slide just doing it up with my fingers, the thing slipped straight in and didn't feel like anything was wrong

>>16522499
>roads somehow better 45 years ago
What went wrong?

>>16522499
After owning my MC22 for a few months I took it down to a nearby tunnel and popped the muffler off before blasting through. It was uncomfortably loud.

Even now for brake bolts I will tighten by hand all the way until its 'home' before torquing them up.

Some other night tips, never rattle bolts out of alloy. There is a small chance they will pick up something and bind and pull the thread straight out.

Also never rattle together 304 stainless bolts and nuts, or really any chrome/nickle or plated nuts/bolts. Without using anti-seize, it will rip the plating off and then you have two metal surfaces with no air.

Causing an amazing phenomenon called cold welding normally only a concern in the vacuum of space and it will be stuck together FOREVER.

A lightweight bike that makes decent power and sounds great. Parts are cheap and they're relatively reliable. They're also one of the more sportsbike-esque LAMS bikes.

Not too long ago they were one of the fastest learner legal bikes. They're still one of the funnest.

>>16522527
I don't mind the MC22 being deafeningly loud since I only use it in the twisties. I just run a stock exhaust on my daily bike.

>>16522527

Brakes and suspension and by hand and torqued to spec, even when I worked for Hyundai I did it.

Now at Lexus its a workshop procedure, everything has a torque spec and it isn't found on a rattle gun.

Also for Apprentice Anon

Don't listen to the Snap-On truck guys lies, you don't need a 5000 dollar tool box, go buy a 2nd hand standard sized roll cab and top for under 500 bucks. Or just a cheap one from super cheap and buy some sweet stickers to make it go faster.

While snap-on are 'good' quality they aren't enough quality for the price they charge. Buy his BluePoint stuff instead, same factory different colour.

Ingersoll Rand 12v W1130-K2 3/8 gun is better than the snap on one and only 200 bucks with 2 batteries, I love mine.

Forch do a mini impact gun that out does my top of the line Snap-on gun for half the price and its tiny, weights nothing at all and smaller than your hand. Great for doing crank shaft bolts without removing the radiator.

Depends on the dealership, I've worked for Holden (they didn't) Honda (some did others didn't) Hyundai (one ugga dugga or two?).

But I guess being a "premium" brand its different, everything gets torqued, all bolts get a hit on the buff wheel if they are a little grimey, everything that has sealant gets it and everything with lock tight gets it.

But the 200ish an hour labor rate and vehicle/parts cost warrants it.

i drove one they are a literal land barge

Weigh's about the same as the Failcon BA-FGX and its a long wheel base

>>16522769
how the fuck does a statesman that has full of electric leather seats and other pointless heavy luxury shit weigh almost the same as a car that has none of that

>>16522780
As ive said the weight difference is very deceptive

the LS1 VT-VX's look heavy and stock handle like boats but they actually CAN turn.

Granted they dont have a reputation for it and you'd need to bugger around with the front suspention to fit wide wheels and put in coilovers+adjustable sway bars.

Luckily i had a good base to start from i am looking at coilovers on the front only and Raised rear w/ heavy duty shocks as my current monroe shocks are gonna die on these roads anyway and my springs are settled as fuck

the leafs are lighter than normies and hold more weight than loldens, BUT IMO ford made the front too soft and the rear to hard so as a comparo to the holden it will fail (for comfy handling), but when you adjust them it can be fun.
atm i am using to many or too much clutch ($$$) the options are almost limitless, you can change leafs for infinity, there are options for 4 or 5 link rear ends, all sorts.

need new leafs and new clutch atm, last heavy duty clutch lasted 2 years, and ruined the tailshaft in the mean time.

whats your thoughts on coilovers?

i had them on the r33 and they wherent even dailed in and that handled amazing.

gonna eventually put a set on my dunnydoor but there are so many fucking brands

>>16522786
are you talking about sedan or ute versions for the VT/VX commos? i dont drive like ken block so perhaps doing the same in an xr6t will also produce positve effects

>>16522792
yeah i think coilovers and fucking around with the leafs would be the way to go

>>16522796
>whats your thoughts on coilovers?
dont cheap out, pay the price as cheap ones are beyond worthless, i was fucked by a china man due to coil overs.

>>16522807
but if i switch to a 4 link rear end, i will also chop the the rear end.
15x15's baby.
still fit a motorbike down the middle, of the massive tubs, locked rear end, and a solid one piece tailshaft

fuck trip dropped cbf putting it back on
>>16522810
Whats a good brand for my craplais?

>>16522807
Body roll is REALLY hard to control in heavy cars anon.

You will be always concious of it and you will need WIDE front tyres and a Square Tyre fitment setup (same size and width) to get rid of the understeer

i only have 245 R45 18x9" on my beast and it barely holds on the road because of the V8 torque and then the front end understeer from the fucking stupid factory cast and camber and steering angle is really annoying

First thing i am gonna do is get some new springs on the back and raise its ass up to minimise the stock Squat and hopefully dump the front camber as negative as i can, gotta research that.
>>16522817
>minitub falcon drift drag ute
do itt

sounds munted as fuck

>>16522821
nah minitub for bigger rear wheels, locked for better grip.
body roll is hard to control but not impossible, perhaps modify your driving style to incorporate it, ie turn harder sooner anticipating some slide due to weight.
the harder your suspension the more wheel slip you will end up with as you are no longer absorbing your weight with springs but transfering straight to your wheels

>>16522852
>ie turn harder sooner anticipating some slide due to weight.
thats what i did with my first set of 235 maxxis

they got assfucked in under a year

besides my roads are so bad i cant really do that otherwise it goes to snap understeer.

When i drive the 10min out to the local mountain it has a nice smooth road

>>16522857
i cant tell you how to drive your car.
just as i cant tell you how to overtake some smart ass who claimed "350 at wheels" by slide overtaking him in a corner at 90kmh ( to prove a redundant point)
who cares when your tyres when wear out? burnouts? fun
drifting? fun
first ever 360 in front of german cunt? fun
tyres cost, who cares?
avoid the most shit roads obvs.
cant over exaggerate practice. the ol' initial D shows the lil bitch driving the same roads all the time, dooo this, drive the hardest roads all the damn time.
the only way to get better at something it to do the thing itself

>>16522885
>i cant tell you how to drive your car.
Ironic because you just did

;3

But yeah i get what your saying

ive been driving my local shit roads for almost a decade and i still dont feel like i know them well enough.

>>16522896
>perhaps
you dont like what im saying ignore me or my words, your choice
well follow people thru those same roads.
just try to keep pace.
in my areas some of the locals fly thru corners whether due to exp or a lackadaisical attitude to who may be on the other side.

>>16522913
>lackadaisical attitude to who may be on the other side.
This is my main issue, there is enough road to play with even though its skinny as fuck in places with horrible surfaces (old corrogated tarmac and potholes) its the fucking nutty cunts coming the other way

>>16522918
I mainly just hoon at night now

>No cops
>can just hear my car and nothing else
>can easily see oncoming cars lights and react accordingly
>roads basically all mine from 10pm-5am

>>16522918
parking today.
some old cunt on the wrong side of the road, i drive around him as he turns left to park.
i go on the wrong side road to go around him.
"hay , get on the right side of the road"
"right you silly old fuck, your blocking traffic by being on the wrong side of the road. . . "
"fuck off"
"FUCK YOU, YOU PIECE OF SHIT LEATHER COUCH, THE LOUNGE ROOM MISSES IS CENTRE PIECE"

why is when I rip a skid, do I feel like my car is getting damaged. I used to drop the clutch daily and was fine. Nowadays I do it and I feel like i've damaged something

>>16523029
mechanical sympathy.

mmm I guess, knowing that my diff currently has heaps of play in it also annoys me as it makes all sorts of clunks and noises.

Can't wait to get an LSD for this pos car.

I don't understand what exactly youre asking.
Why not tho, is yours v8? it's going on my s pack and it's my daily too. Just gotta get used to the fact that every time you turn a tight corner, you don't want to accelerate or decelerate as it will lock up.

Idgaf, race car lyfe cunt

>>16523090
Sounds like I'll have my hands full with a 2 way as I already have a LS V8 to handle and a 6sp manual
