Tell us what car you drive, and what your dream machine is.

I'm currently in a VYII SS Ute, thats unmolested thus far. Planning quite a few mods in the future like wheels and tyres, suspension, xdrilled or slotted brakes, braided brake line, OTR, Maffless tune, ecu, full exhaust, cam, dyno tune, amongst others..

Dream car.. I would say a modded R8 V10 :cool:

Suzuki LJ50 (3cyl, 500cc, 2 stroke, saved this from a farm in extremely poor condition will give it a fix up one day, they are becoming extremely rare)

and I recently bought my misses a '98 Suzuki Grand Vitara, I'm going to keep calling this mine till she pays me back, LOL

My dream car is pretty simple since I already own it the DR30, Only car I have ever really dreamed about

I have the run of the mill ozzie VT Bombodore V8, that's seen its fair share of my money. And the thing is still nowhere near finnished.

Dream car has to be the aston martin

Although hot on the trail would definitely be from the Audi stables as well! ;)

 

[brendore]

Drooooll over that pic 'vspec' there such sexy cars.. almost makes you wanna give up chicks and a house, and to withdraw from your super just so you can buy one lol ;)

 

['vspec']

Curved hand crafted muscle, cant go wrong.

Although "almost" giving up chicks for the cause is a hard habit to kick bud. Talk about sucker for punishment, im even flying half way around the world for my 20yr old Columbian delight. I thought this sh^t was meant to get easier..lol

 

[MTG]

Vspec show me your commodore ;)

 

['vspec']

Nothing much to see dude, lets be real ~ Its a bombordore after all! :confused: The shit depreciates quicker than milk left out on the bench..lol

Old school 5lt sydney special vehicles number, I then pumped in the rest. Everything from the paint work to the quality swap outs. (For the time at least) Cost me a friggen fortune and given its daily usages now (see attached) sh^t still falls apart quicker than I can fix it.

Originally destine for a throw about social track day wank factor with the mates, but luckerly pulled the pin before I completely gut the interior. Although, taking into account its age, it's still only just done 85thou on the clock, so it should give an indication to how I treated it previously! .

The 5l are such a dog, so slow !

From factory yes, but with a little know-how and a little bit of time they're an amazing rig that get a wriggle on when the time comes to bury your right.

 

[MTG]

Better off with the ls1, a friend just bought a vy clubby turbo. That things w beast. Stock internals think it's running like 10psi? Absolute weapon

 

[n0rk]

Eh, LS9 or go home :)

 

[VaultBoy]

13B-REW Rotation is the replacement for displacement :D

[Mitchell Codey]

So i probly wont be up till next year, maybe qld powercruise? or possibly a stadium drift event at Goldcoast next year sometime. Im concentrating on nsw events so i prioritise them first

 

[MTG]

let me know when your coming up mate :D

Has anyone heard about this new legislation the wankers we call the government is trying to introduce into NSW? Apparently (source from a mate and V8 forum) Cars modified after 1st of november (I think?) have to be engineered no matter whether it's changing stock wheels and tyres or full blown engine swaps. Under the current legislation, from my understanding of it, is changing simple mechanical components do not require engineering, however turbos, SC's, and engine swaps to non-stock motors have to be engineered. My understanding of this new legislation requires all non-stock modifications (for example I want to upgrade my brakes to Xdrilled or slotted with high performance street pads, therefore I am making my car safer!) will require engineering certification..

Is it just me or are these people a few cells short of a functional brain? Perhaps they're still evolving from primative singular celled organisms? I can see many hundreds of businesses closing down if this does reign true. You'd never see a jacked fourby again! And as for track day racers well you guys better look for another hobby :confused:. There has been very little information on this legislation and the now NSW Dept. of Transport (NSW RTA) is being very hush, hush about it all, so hopefully it's just a revision and not new legislation they're not telling us about?

 

[DavidS]

I'm convinced those laws exist only to give the cops a reason to come after guys with worked cars if they start drawing attention to themselves.

I had a fairly obviously non-legal in South Aus Lancer, and never had a problem, yet I had some younger mates in various worked cars that drew attention to themselves and found themselves constantly being defected. Either the P plates, or the way they were caught driving was the catalyst for these sometimes ridiculous laws being enforced every time.
