We used to always give him heaps, because this project was going for years and years and years. I don't know if it ever ended up eventuating or not, the forums changed when they got hacked, lost all the old posts and restarted - lost most of the best work that forum had ever seen.

Off topic, you on OCAU Riksta?

Not exactly "Epic", but worth a giggle...

This happened to me earlier at work, looking up availability of a drain plug and o'ring...

Re: the post I made the other day.

Heres the Holden I may be owning shortly.

Body is rooted. But shouldn't be too much trouble getting a new one.

Sounds like a plan

Gonna try to finish it first.

Got 12 months till off P's, will try to have it drive-able be then. Motor and stuff is good. But needs to be re shelled.

Enjoy driving it around for awhile before getting sick of drongos in commodores saying "noice car moight rip a skid yuh sick c***".

Seen a lancer with "spinners" on it today, will try to get Pics when I work out how to get them on here from my iPhone.

A bit of rust converter on that door and some new paint and she'll be good as new!

A new shell should be pretty easy to come across and cheap sans powertrain. Will be the goods.

because in india, china, the philippines and other asian countries - they do not have the money to put a $20,000au engine into their cars, and they do not have rear wheel drives in general anyway. a speed shop in manila doesn't look much different to the auto section in kmart here - they make do with what they have - and yet the fail police still cannot help themselves, and have to hang crap on them. while the car did nothing for me, at least he has tried something and not fallen inline with the sheep from this thread - but then again, it is so much easier to do nothing and criticise than to try and make something different

That video HAS to be taking the ****. Bit it's not

They keep refering to a Baleno as a performance car. I suppose it is when animals are the preferred method of transport

I ****ed myself laughing when I saw that too. That and the "high speed tyres that will let you drive very fast without losing any grip".

The car was better when it was stock.

93EB_SXR6 · 04-06-2011, 09:07 PM

I'd have that car, its horn!

GreenR · 05-06-2011, 03:28 PM

This video just confirms the words "sports car" has lost all meaning

and they look at xt's as being junk - does that make your car a fail - or is it open to perception
