General Car Discussion

There's also this.

 

its not all about displacement.

 

Probably the last time we'll see them together as stock MX5s

 

there's no replacement for forced displacement (turbo/super)

 

I assume you being an Australian, you're going to put LS engines in them?

(Just kidding )

 

Wot

 

He's a kiwi

 

He is actually from New Zealand. Right Sam?

 

Whoops, Oh well sorry, I didn't pay attention to it I think.
By the way, is the car culture that different between NZ and Australia? Google shows that Holdens and Fords are popular as well.
It also shows lots of LS powered Miata's in NZ. (Not saying you should)

I'm sorry if I offended you, but saying this can offend other people as well I'm afraid

 

Japanese cars are more popular in New Zealand than they are in Australia (Im talking fun Japanese cars, not Mazda 3s & Corollas)

 

Why couldn't those be fun?

 

Am I the only person that prefers a 4 cylinder exhaust note to that of a v8

 

I wish like heck that you were.

 

I found something gabester might like the only difference this is a 4WS.

I don't think this has been shown before.

 

Ain't no replacement for displacement. -The owner of a shitty 50cc scooter.

 

I finally, finally, FINALLY, finished the braking system on the Corolla after 2 years of ownership. Yesterday, after struggling for 3 hours (30 minutes of which was one bolt, screw Ohio), and getting just about all of the worlds brake fluid in my right eye, I deem my 1996 Toyota Corolla DX *Drum Roll* ROAD WORTHY!

Of course now, having stale 2 year old gas in it, it runs like shit after it's warmed up. One thing at a time, the hole in the exhaust is more important.

 

This is why I always wear safety glasses/goggles when I'm under a car working on any fluid system. I decided to wear some huge goofy looking lab googles when I did my fuel filter and I'm damn glad I did. Pressurized fuel line.
I usually wear some sort of eye protection whenever I'm under a car. Getting shit in my eyes is just something I don't want to mess with.

 

I wear safety glasses and a proper labcoat because science. Being a high mileage old Audi, a bomb suit is actually more suitable though, pun intended.

 

My buddy had his 1995 s14 Dyno'ed at habibi motorports yesterday. It made 220 hp and 207 ft/lbs torque to the rear wheels. It is sr20det swapped. The blow off valve sound is insane.

 

Why would someone do this to my car? I know it wasn't there this morning because it's right next to the driver's door handle. I might not care much about my car but that doesn't mean I want scratches all over it. It's a deep scratch too. I hope there is a security camera that has my car in view at my school.
