I swear Tassie is where all the old show cars go to die, there seems to be a disproportionate amount of them over there for some reason.

>>17073040
i rekon its because 1, we have no inspections (all the shifty mods arent taken out) 2. most people dont even realize or care that the shit is modified when they sell it. it doesnt add value its like a selling point now.

that being said its only in the poor parts of town that you see these cars anymore.

i briefly owned an eg sedan that was sex specd to shit, cracked bodykit, peeling clear coat, one headlight rammed in from a newer civic shoved in the space, ebay coilovers, and much more with the piston rings being fucked and blowing smoke and no rego and needing a pit pass for $200. i replaced the motor and only got a grand which shows how shit these things are

>>17077695
Fuckyear man I relocated the rad to the boot for supreme heat transfer when chuckin a skid cunt

>>17077695
Nah we just stuck with the vt subframe and mounts but made some adapter brackets to the engine. Believe it or not we didn't need to touch anything structural apart from the subframe a part needed to be cut off then added underneath to clear the harmonic balancer. Looking at it done it actually fits in there better than the v6. You can change the oil filter from the top even

>>17077718
>not mounting the rad on the rear seat and using a roof scoop to feed it air
>>17077738
Yeah i was having a good look, fits pretty nicely. Are you using the 6sp ford auto? ZF something i think its called. and what ECU? factory falcon one or Haltech etc?

>>17077747
Nah were using the a 5spd manual. Edu is stock falcon but tuned. Radiator had to go a bit more towards the front which required a bit if persuasion and some custom mounts but its the standard falcon radiator. We got rid of the big overflow bottle thing though and put a custom top hose mount with a metal cap instead

>>17077762

Hate to sound like a postiefaggotm8, but I could probably guarantee it'd be either Sean or Foreskin. Actually, I don't think Sean would these days, he's turned into a bit more of a recluse faggot since he's realised it's not just postiem8s and Jimmyshits that resent him. Maybe he went to juvenile detention for the road rage episode when they took into account his intellectual equivalent. Either way, he's been a lot less unbearable lately.

No he wasn't. He's been an attention seeking retard desperate to not be irrelevant since well before postie was ever around. Since before he was even tripped as Falcunt.

Salesman are totally irrelevant to the purchase of a car outside of determining the final price, the're literally nothing more than vending machines that dispense keys after you insert cash.

If you're relying on anything they have to say or tell you about the car you're doing it wrong.

Is the nebo-glorious-mee trip as good as I've heard? I'm assuming it's all open by now.

Why are there so few km's and only $10k?

Not really no. R34 appeals to me because there are no gtr's in Finland and that would be first, r32 not so much.

There are so many cars to choose from, can't make up my mind lads.

ehh, it does ok. It is a diesel so it runs outta legs by 2k rpm, even though it will rev to 4.5k, nothing is really gained past that except for getting on and off the throttle to soot up faggots on bicycles.

SP23s are mint. first gen mps's are good too. The DiSi head on it is really efficient on the MPS. I can get 9L/100km in my gen2 off boost, i make close to 300fwkw too, i upshift at less than 3k and it's great on fuel.

>>17078973
BL base model series is 100x better than the highest up BK model. (excluding MPS), BL's are more refined and nicer to drive, I have driven a gen1 mps and it was good fun to drive but my sp25 is comfier.

Sup cunts, /diy/ reporting for assistance.

Turns out my girlfriend is a leadfoot. I've always know she's keen for speed, but then we got to a roundabout one day, and she accidentally drifted the whole fucking thing. Technically she snap oversteered it because she hit it too hard in the wet, but she felt it coming, snapped the wheel around and planted it, pulling off a 10/10 without even knowing what drifting was. I asked her afterwards why she reacted like that, she said it felt like the correct action to take given the way the car felt. Muh dick.

Since then I have been teaching her about vehicle balance, weight loading, cornering and all that junk, she's been lapping it up. Now, her 30th approaches, and I want to get her onto a track for her birthday. I'm in Sydney, I know eastern creek does open days but we don't have anything really worth taking out. Is there anywhere that provides a car (and maybe an instructor) and lets you smash out a few laps in something more fun than our shitbox lolvo 240? I know adrenaline exists but I'm yet to check them out, hoping to find something a little more enthusiast based if it exists.

Any advice ausbros?
