Title as suggested ^_^ and holy crap I can't believe that we are already onto our 3rd thread, that's over 200 pages of car talk. We need cars.mmgn [Shifty]

For reference here's the previous threads:
First thread pc.mmgn.com/...
Second thread pc.mmgn.com/...
Car Modification thread pc.mmgn.com/...

PLEASE RE-SIZE ANY EMBEDDED IMAGES! either re-size them or just post a link to their location, large images make the page take longer to load and it kills anyone accessing the thread via the mobile app

Thank you.

We're doing up our office atm, depending on price, I might save up.

I'm most certain the cheapest was $199 and went up to around $399.

Engine (most expensive part) isnt in the front.... might not be a write off also reminds me of:

lol what a tool. Such a shame to see any super car cop something like that. These cars are hand built and some rich idiot with more dollars than sense does something like that to it.

love that he was distracted by a pelican....

Still waiting for the day when these mighty car mod guys actually work on an impressive car. It's always some crappy cheap jap car with a turbo the the size of a golf ball. Lets see some GTRs, RX7s etc

So i went looking at cars on the weekend because mine wouldn't start, and when it eventually did it appears something is up with my injectors. so gotta run a cleaner through them.

But it appears the ute is getting to the point where it just starts to keep breaking. At 214,000k's its probably time to kill it.

So i found a nice falcon sedan with 127,000k's on it, serviced every 10,000. All it needs is brake discs and pads aswell as a small plastic linkage between the transmission and engine.

Took it for a test drive and it drives so much better then my ute.

It is for sale at $2000 and i should be able to sell the ute for about $5000. So im fixing up the bumper and putting fliers up for it.

5K might be pushing it you'd have to sell it to someone who's in hurry for a ride or doesn't know that much about cars in general.
Last owner (you) is a P-plater so you can pretty much assume it has been thrashed. It has taxi K's on it without a filled out service log (just assuming about the service log since you've never mentioned it).

Who knows you might get lucky if you clean it up with some cheap botch repairs, just make sure it starts when people come check it out. Told you not to spend any money on this thing :P

I had a mate selling a car that wouldn't start when it was cold so when ever someone was coming around to check it out he'd go for a thrash around the block so it's all warmed up. Karma got him back though since his next car fell to bits in a few months.

Was at the local shopping center and there was only one close spot (CBF walking to where I wanted to go) and that spot was a tight fit because of this dildo

How hard is it put a car between two white lines -___-

Then you might be in luck, lol you speak so highly of your town.

This morning on my way to work in my usual half asleep daze this VY SS (not sure if was a Storm) ute pulled up next to me, guess he was just as bored as I was on the way to work so we both took off for a little bit of fun. Ripped his arse off even with semi bald back tyres, definitely a stocker but at least we both got to work a little quicker :P

i saw a rear ending yesterday morning... AU falcon wagon straight up the back of a dual cab hilux which just touched the back of a camry in front. the hilux had little damage as it was the raised version (standard) but the AU falcon crapped its radiator all over the road also the bonnet and bumper were wrecked.

I want one =D

Well I proved my self wrong the 320ci can do a burn out, well in the wet at least. I honestly thought the wheels wouldn't even spin. Just did a really quick one to see if was possible, didn't want to make smoke, I'm scared of breaking it :*O

Tyres are almost new and they are decent so it must have some decent torque hidden somewhere. When you take off full throttle it's not that impressive but when sitting at close to 100 and you boot it there's a nice kick there.

Sounds like my car. Most ofits power is in the upper range so it takes off slow but once rolling it has a nice punch when the POS transmission decides to kick back a gear

Most smaller engine get all their omph when you rev them out but keep doing that things start to break. This is why I love the low down torque of a V8 [Derp]
