what are acceptable prices for boomermobiles these days, such as:
xa/b/c gt coupe
monaro gts'
v8 toranas
>>14928153
basically?
your dreamin
>>14928153
there are no reasonable prices.
All Victorians are shitcunts
>>14928153
>xa/b/c gt coupe
10-30k usually, 30k for a really nice one
Landaus are up to 40's
>monaro gts
>v8 toranas
20-40k
The good boomer mobiles are fucking expensive.
>>14928159
as a victorian, I can confirm this
>>14928159
all melbournians are shitpackers
What the fuck happened to cheap SWB 4x4s? They are all so expensive right now
>>14928153
more than you can afford pal.
I know what I've got.
>>14928161
how about a charger?
id much rather a Landau over a Falcon GT
>>14928159
Nah that's just the Melbournians. The rest of Victoria is fine
>>14928171
There's a rest of Victoria?
>>14928170
VJ or VK?
VJ's are worth way more than a VK. Probably about 20-40k still
You won't find a good boomer car for under 20k unless you do all the work yourself
>>14928171
no, once a cuck always a cuck
>you will never own your dads HG Kingswood
feels bad, i remember him taking us everywhere in the yorke peninsula in that car, ended up selling it to a wog
My old Aunty had a vh wagon. '82 slx with a 202 and trimatic. Alloys from factory too.
My uncle got rid of it not long after she died. It'd done well over 330,000kms.
RIP both of them
>>14928187
i dont get why people cream themselves over old holdens. they're pretty dull looking, its like they're one of those background cars in a video game.
>boomermobile thread
about time
australia is gay
>>14928187
My dad took us everywhere in an EH holden wagon and now it sits in the driveway rotting away. It's better that you know someone else is driving your dads car than it just sitting there rusting away to nothing.
>>14928202
>weaboo calling others gay
thats some aussie level shitposting m8. noice.
>>14928197
too bad not more people have your viewpoint, because i can't find one of these cars for under 4000 in decent condition
I love the styling
>>14928202
U 2
>>14928206
Old = classic
Even ugly shit from a long time ago is classic because vintage. Don't forget boomers as well.
>>14928203
i know the wog, its his mate. he sold it for $100 5 years ago before i was into cars and i see it sat in the weather with rims rusted into the ground all the time
>yes im salty
>>14928197
The coupes of that era look sick, the 4 doors look average. EH was the only decent looking car from the 60s desu, LJ, HQ and LX toranas look mint, everything else looks average.
>>14928202
>>14928215
>$100
Your dad must of really hated money.
>>14928222
*must have
illiterate abbo cunt
>>14928202
>>14928220
weebs gtfo please
>>14928066
is it weird that i really like the styling of these in the wagons
>>14928254
Yes
>>14928254
Yes, because they are one of the fugliest wagons ever.
>>14928249
Eat my ass
>>14928261
>Eat my ass
i like your eloquence.
>>14928254
normies gtfo please
>>14928261
what are some examples of the non-fugliest wagons ever then?
>>14928268
no
>>14928271
Volvo 850 T5R, SAAB makes some slick lookng Aero Sportcombis too.
>>14928271
Holden: EH, FB,
Ford: XR, XT, XW, XY, XA, XB, XC
Holden never made good wagons.
>>14928280
>Volvo 850
very nice
>SAAB
opinion discarded
>>14928283
i can see the sort of style you're into and my taste isn't really the same
xy through to xc wagons are sex though
>>14928161
>10-30k
Maybe for a generic coupe, not a GT.
>>14928305
Who would buy a genuine one? We're only NEETs here and base model coupes to restore as a GT is good enough for most of us.
>>14928298
xc panelvans, that is what sex IS sir
>>14928314
also, i concur.
>>14928298
>opinion discarded
Never said they were good cars, I just like the way they look.
80's SAAB > every other SAAB though, dem tri-spoke wheels.
so seeing as i'm obviously not going to be able tpo afford any sort of boomermobile in the near future, I've decided to go with a cheap but hoonable car instead
looking for something sub $5000, rwd, manual, p plate legal in SA, not a falcodore (at this stage) that i can daily drive without trouble and hoon at nights. Needs to turn well, power isn't a big issue as i live a 2 minute drive from very twisty roads in the adelaide hills that i enjoy hooning on. needs to be semi-reliable but something I can work on myself
heres some shit i've found so far:

holy fuck someone buy that right now
oooof all the couples seeking men on Craigslist are soo fit they put me to shame. im not fat, but how does every bloke have a 7.5 inch cock and six pack. no girl goes backwards for a 3some, or the guy doesnt wanna see his girl with average cocked guy

>>14928371
>>14928385
I'd be a lot more willing to buy a falcodore if I could actually have a v8 but p plate laws are cucking me too hard for that

both will run of 2005 pc's and are still great simulators to this day too
>>14928401
>Richard Burns Rally
This is legit the only racing game I've ever played apart from Mario Kart.
Pretty fun, but it makes me wish I had a wheel.
>>14928401
LFS is another good one, though there's not much content, even with a crack.
You can tweak the properties of the demo cars to give them a billion horsepower V12's or huge CC turbo V-twins that make mad torks or V8's that rev to a million RPM with a program though, which is fun.
so I've pulled half my shitbox BA apart and no cunt wants to buy anything.
Wondering if I should build it into a track car instead
>>14928429

Wait, are Falcons a meme? is the 6 cyl fast? is the v8 decent? whats wrong with the EB/EF/XF falcons that they are 600 bucks any day of the week
>>14928327
The silvia might be good, offer 4000 at most for it tho, even if it hasn't been thrashed
>>14928437
What do you need?
>>14928461
nothing really, but i know i'm going to break things.
have you got, the dash piece above the radio controls and whatnot, lotsa ppl swap it to pod gauges.
also is yours manuel?
>>14928471
The whole dash is there stock
Trans blew a seal, automatic. I'm the guy scrapping that ba I posted pics not long ago
>>14928283
>mum had an XY falcon

I never got to drive it and I'm still salty.
>>14928478
this top dash piece, and the left AC vent to go with it, if its unbroken
>>14928130
where can i get new bulbs for my car?
closest supercheat is brookvale and closests RipEveryPoorCuntOff is chatswood west.
cbf driving that far for bulbs. Can i go to a Kmart tyre and auto to get them? last time i tried they refused to sell me bulbs, the cunt even goes:
>its a peugeot so youll have to book it in because it will take hours
fucking useless cunts dont have a clue m8eeez
(posting again in case old thread dies)
Are there any non-fat, modern cars? I love the style of 90s Jap cars, but I don't want the headache of owning an old car. Also don't want to look like a boy racer.

>>14928457
my bro has a 2003 xt v6 wagon. its a slow piece of shit.
>>14928502
One thing I've learnt is supercheap really is buying super cheap/shit tools, fucking hard lesson that was
Same as Bunnings, fucking Jews
>>14928502
where are ya m8
peps in artarmon can do it and not rip you off, they stock nightbreakers too
>>14928508
ordered off supercheap online and they left the "OOPS WE MISSED YOU" card at my house.
how hard is it for delivery people to just leave it at my door or in the pigeonhole at my post box. baka
>>14928514
killara. I wasnt wanting to drive a few suburbs away because ive got a lot of shit to do tomorrow.
>>14928511
yeah i broke one of their breaker bars. and so many tools from bunnings. im wanting to start getting decent stuff.
>>14928515
Dunno. I got 4 brake pads in my mailbox fine
>>14928523
you cant even specify to them to leave it.
>>14928522
>killara
thought we only had that skyline/silvia guy on here from there
honestly driving to artarmon isnt that bad of you can do it at 11am, could be maybe 30 mins all up
sometimes servos have bulbs but they're shit and overpriced
>>14928522
Yeah it's all bullshit, I bought a cheap precision screwdriver set and it was basically a plastic handle with metal superglued into it
Should I buy a riced commie?
http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/mannum/cars-vans-utes/2004-holden-commodore-sedan/1111297382
>>14928534
theres quite a few guys from upper north shore here. i think i saw the skyline gts guy a few times recently. white r33 gts at the gym today and same one on the pacific highway.
yeah just got a tonne of uni work and a meeting in the city for an internship. i may have to drive to repco or somewhere around there :(
>>14928536
a m8 whos a mechanic that works there talks mad shit on their tools. basically dont bother.
>>14928458
problem is idk if he'd go that low, especially since the ads only been up a day
>>14928522
I've broke 4 cheap socket wrenches, countless screw drivers, a few spanners. Now I've got a nice socket set and combination spanners, those things can take some punishment, just need a good set of screwdrivers now
I guess the phrase "you get what you pay for" really applies to this shit, and some companys have lifetime warranties on their equipment
>want to do oil change
>mobil 1 0w40 is $200 for my engine

I just used this to get a rough idea of what they're worth, now that I think about perhaps 5000 would be alright for it

what worse is I bought this stanley knife that locks the blade, but if you put any pressure on it then it pops a cap off the bottom and drops the blade out
>>14928509
You need to be preparing for school this week.
>>14928551
Sidchrome or nothing
>>14928572
The first thing I ask when buying an unknown brand is if it's going to snap on me
>>14928547
Wouldn't look too bad if you deleted the wing, put some red tails and some better wheels on it.
how do I fix this gap? it's slowly gotten bigger and looks ugly.
>>14928603
On the headlight?
take it apart and see if it's seated properly?
>>14928592
Metrinch is bestcunt
>>14928605
Looking at it again, check your bumper is clipped in right
>>14928600
I might have considered it if he said it could come on stockies for a lower price
>>14928603
>>14928610
it's a vy btw.
I checked and it's all clipped in properly.
it seems to be a common problem on them.
>Taped a lighter to a can of degreaser
>Now have a single unit flamethrower
I'm not sure if I've gone too far or not far enough
Question: why would you ever willingly own a Falcodore?
>>14928632
you checked the lights?
>>14928637
So I can own a 4L i6. Its a dying breed of engine
>>14928637
An SS or XR6T/8 ute maybe, probably not a sedan.
>>14928592
This hard. Easy to find, decent price for quality, lifetime warranty.
If you can find and afford Koken then step up to there. Dad's had his 1/2 inch socket set for his entire life, abusing it, and nothing has ever broken.
Broke my first socket related item the other day. 3/8ths extension, Bunnings quality, it was a friend's set. Not even with a breaker bar, just a 15cm ratchet handle.
Shitty stuff. Just snapped right off.
>>14928659
I was given a sidchrome set from my grandfather, hands down the best gift I've ever been given
>>14928168

All I want is an older jimny. They just fly through sand.
Hope you are buying it to go offroad though. Else you are a fucking fag
>>14928574
Use some olive oil m8
>>14928632
he probably ocaisionally clips the bottom of the bumper on stuff, bending the plastic. only solution is to get a new bumper or depending on what your time is worth, cut sand fibreglass cut sand rinse repeat until it fits perfectly again.
some things once bent, cannot be unbent.
t. a. shulgin
>>14928695
You ever heard of a drill and zip ties?
>>14928695
>some things once bent, cannot be unbent
This, aerials of any kind spring to mind (car, phone etc)
>>14928682
>l I want is an older jimny. They just fly through sand.
They're fucking weightless, would be hilarious fun off-road
>Hope you are buying it to go offroad though
of course, can't hunt and teach my boy about his homeland any other way
>>14928720
>Not hunting abbos in your MX-5
>>14928720
>They're fucking weightless, would be hilarious fun off-road
>>14928641
I have looked at the lights and they line up fine against guards and bonnet, the gap is underneath them.
>>14928695
>>14928699
to be honest I may just drill holes on the top and get some zipties to hold up up a little.
The gap slowly got larger the more I scraped it and the one time I rear ended an Indian.
>>14928489
The whole dash is in good condition including that piece
I'm actually trying to get the dash out now, the console is out but I'm working on the rest
prolly gonna do this on saturday
any good roads/places along that route?
>>14925915
nay

Someone is gonna recommend you some 'world famous' bakery in Dunsborough but it's pretty average and no-one I know can even remember it being great.
Busso is the best town to stop in for food. There's a great Dutch restaurant if you're there at dinner time.
>>14928800
if you want a falcodore just go out and buy one of the thousands on the market, no point sharing it here

/o/ please redpill me on Falcons/Commodores, I've got an ae86 that I don't wanna daily any more, and I'm looking to falcodores for something reliable, cheap to run/maintain and a bit lf of fun to hoon. What year/models should I look for? What should I avoid? Do any come with stock LSD?
>>14931679
depends on budget, vy-vz is much better than vt-vx
I think many or all vx-onwards calais v8s came with lsd
most ss did too
manual/auto, engine preference?
alloytec is a pretty good motor for DD, makes good power, ignore cunts eho shit on them for being v6
with falcoons i'd skip everything AU and BA
>>14931711
thanks for your reply. realistically the budget is $5k or under, also I'm on green Ps so I can't get a v8 :( were any made with i6? I'll check out the models you mentioned, thanks man.
>>14931711
oh and yeah, I drive manual, engine can be whatever as long as it gets around 8l/100km and can pull good skids

>>14933378
no one cares lol
>>14933285
Because ABS isn't really about everyday driving. It's for when old Granny in her station wagon pulls out in front of you and your instinctive reaction is to hit the brake.
Like it or not in situations like that the computer will probably do a better job than you would.
Watch some motorcycle ABS trial footage. There is a very small percentile on riders who can out-perform Motorcycle ABS (which is much less invasive than what's in a car) but in the vast majority of situations the computer will do it better and more consistently. Even these videos aren't a brilliant representation as they're in controlled environments and factor out your brains OH SHIT reaction.

I figure it could become a crux for new riders who don't learn the correct technique for braking and rely (consciously or subconsciously) on the ABS kicking in and saving their ass.
For people that can brake properly it's a great idea, but yeah, for new riders it could end badly if they learn to ride on a bike with ABS then move up to one that doesn't have it.
There's a RWT video where a subscriber crashes Tom's GF's 125 because he learned on a KTM 390 with ABS and hamfisted the 125's front brake.

Retards will retard no matter what bike they ride.
>>14933541
For real, do you even ride a bike?
>>14933378
Do it, cunt. Boxster with Toyota badges on, tell JDM tyte cunts it's an MR-S.
>>14931592
No need for a ls3 the sv6 comes with a 3.6l already
>>14931592
Maloo comes with a supercharged LSA now. W427 is going to come with the 7.0l LS7.
Gawd bless Holden for giving us some sick V8's before the GM jew kills them off.
>>14933852
Can be supercharged. It's not the same but I wouldn't mind an SV6 sleeper.
>>14931600
>>14933852
Fukken hell. I didn't realise the Maloo is supercharged now.
Well, I don't think it's worth it really. The Maloo is less comfortable since it misses out on the magnetic ride control of the HSV GTS and it can't carry as much as the normal ute. It is a ute after all... and it can't even carry half a tonne with a driver sitting in it.
>>14933954
>muh 2-seater
I'm not even a tradie and I want a Maloo just for the bogan supercar appeal. Looks good, sounds good, and I'm young enough not to be concerned about the rougher ride.

Bit hard to get a dodgy when I don't know any dodgys :^)

Oh derp, I read that was "what's a dodgy".

Then hope they don't ping me for the coilovers and e46 seats
>>14934836
coilovers will fail it, they get pretty pissed about coilovers for some reason. they wont notice the seats though since seats can vary depending on options and such.
>>14934836
Yeah that's stuff that definitely won't get passed.
Coils and seats will be fine if you go to the right person and it's not a pile of shit
>>14934730
Looks like a commodore to me
>>14934836
Oh, have to replace a snapped handbrake cable too.
That one is a massive FML to do.
Anyone have or know someone with one of those OBD2 bluetooth things?
Contemplating buying one of the el cheapo ones off of ebay to see if it's any good.

Perfectly rev-matched shifts are so satisfying sometimes.
>>14934847
lol a v4 commodore? two 3 into 2 exhaust headers?
lol im pretty sure its a subaru with a boxer 4
>>14934912
why does that matter?
>>14935017
Most cars have different offsets on their rims
Watching some Muricans on YouTube. They're in a supermarket and calling the shopping trolley a wagon. As a wagon owner this is triggering me.
>>14935064
Just become more euro and call it an estate
>>14935064
You should take to calling your wagon a shopping trolley then.
I thought Americans called shopping trolleys carts though?
>>14933541
>your riding a bike so you can stop much quicker anyway or just go inbetween lanes
Bikes (generally) don't brake as fast as cars.
>>14933479
Main thing I advocate is people at least learning braking technique on a bike. Plenty of bikes out there without it still and it's a useful skill to have either way.
>>14935064
>>14935078
Americans are fucking retarded, I hate all of them without knowing them
without a nipple, a boob has no point
>>14935101
Pillow?
>>14935098
>Bikes (generally) don't brake as fast as cars.
That isn't true at all, New bikes stop quicker than any commodore could
>>14935101
I'll take small nipples over big aureolas anyway
>>14935108
What if I crashed my car into a wall, who stops faster then?
>>14935022
what the fuck is offset?
>>14934836
>>14934846
I dunno man, I took the AE82 for a blueslip today and it passed despite being the dodgiest car in Wagga.
>O2 sensor line isn't plugged in, not long enough for the extractors that are on there
>Cracked tail light housing
>Handbrake only grabs the left rear caliper, not the right for some reason
>Driver side window regulator is broken again, Araldite couldn't fix it
Man, this car is such a piece.
>>14935122
It's how far the studs stick out of the rotating bit
>>14935113
big nip tiny aureola
>>14935126
>handbreak only grabs the left
Did I hear donuts?
>>14935117
Your mum
>>14935122
The distance between the centre of the wheel and the flat bit of the inner side of the wheel is the offset
>>14935129
Inverted nipple best nipple
>>14935132
Nah. Never done a handbrakey in the AE82 myself, and prior to my ownership, it was driven for 28 years by an old couple in a little town in Tasmania who got it from the dealership. Unless there are 80 year old men out there who happen to love doing skids in FWD vehicles.
Red AE82 used to do the same thing.
>>14933931
W427 came out 8 years ago lol
>>14935108
>lightly corner in commodore and slam on brakes
>>stop normally
>slightly corner on bike and slam on brakes
>>lose control of bike
yeah, it stops faster in a straight line
but it's still inherently a 2-wheeled leaning machine, you can't always brake as hard as you would in a commodore
>>14935143
don't some economy cars only lock one side with the handbrake?
also my dad's a small-time hoon so you never know
>>14935170
The LS7 is still impressive in 2016
>>14935177
But that's a part of riding. You learn to control your braking much better and that you must commit to your speed.
>>14935108
You sure about that?
2015 R1 60-0mph: 129ft
2015 Chevrolet SS 60-0mph: 110ft
>>14935198
yeah but what if you hit a wall
Can I ask opinions?
I'm looking at a car, very good price. However it's got several problems that will need fixing before I get her on the road, which will probably cost around $1000. I'm ok with that as long as it doesn't go much higher, but it has done 300k on the odometer and I'm worried lots of problems will start cropping up.
I'm intending to get it inspected and buy it if there's nothing unexpected. But my gut tells me it's a bad idea. However I really like the car and my heart says yes.
>>14935219
it really depends on what the car is.
Can tan jackets still be worn today or do I need to have a dark coloured one?
>>14935219
Like the anon said, it depends on the car.
You have to think about how much life is left in a car with 300k on it. You might only get 50k out of it before something major goes or you might get 150k, who knows.
It's the smaller things that start to add up with high mileage cars, like bushings for example. If you can't do it yourself it can get pricey to have a mechanic do it for you.
In summary: Work out whether the time/money spent fixing the car is worth whatever life's left in it. Things can and possibly will break purely because they're worn out from all the use the car's seen.
>>14935219
Without knowing, well, anything about what the car is, nobody can have an opinion about if it's a great idea or a terrible idea.
>>14935219
Buying a car with 300k km is like dating a prostitute, you just don't do it.

if you fulfill all of this criteria, you can wear that jacket

It's a Ford LTD (DL). The seller tells me it's been well looked after and hasn't given him any problems.
From what I saw there were things like a frayed seatbelt, the switch that controls whether air comes in (I forget what it's called) is broken, and what looked like a water leak. And I couldn't tell if the brakes needed replacing, since I had to push a lot harder on them than what I'm used to, but what I drive has very sensitive brakes.
If I get it inspected will the mechanic be able to tell me how likely things are to break in the future?
