Hey /dat/ I want to buy a car.

MR2 or Astra Convertible.
>>13995920
I was thinking maybe a newer version of one of these? good idea or no?
Seen a few MR2s for around $8,000 the newer Astras are probably out of my price range though.

I used to get this, came down to the soap I was using. You also getting dry, clearish flakes (kinda like dandruff) in your jocks? When it's about to break out does your scrote skin feel tight as fuck? Try a hypoallergenic soap (QV, aveeno etc) make sure you are completely rinsing your sack, and make sure you are completely drying your sack. Wear non synthetic jocks/boxers as well to make sure shit is getting ventilated.
IF this does not stop it, then yeah, go and take you junk out for a doctor. Try this first to avoid that whole ordeal though.

>>13996248
>>13996291
Different anon here, just ask about it at your next checkup/visit at the doctors. Better to ask about it than it be something serious down the track that could have been prevented. But for all you could know it might just be a reaction to something, there's certain washing powders and dish soaps that cause a massive rash to break out down my arms and your doctor might give you a few tip on how to make sure your skin doesn't dry up

>>13996469
Awesome, what was wrong? I headed up on Saturday, didn't see your post until I got there though.
Starter motor deaded.
I was stuck on tappa rd/kaurna ave on Friday night.
Luckily some fellow hoons gave me a push start.
Destroyed a set of rear tyres beforehand
The general comment was "Oi cant believe most these skids is from a farking mx5 cunt"
Gave 3 randoms a hoon in the miats too, they loved it.
Setup the ECU for some decent flames and a lot of noise.
>>13995887
saw a lime green lotus and a white 90's miata at pennant hills maccas around ~11pm monday night.
miata had kanji stickers and looked sweet.
>>13996505
I keep getting people trying to bait me into giving my bike some throttle. Gave a 675R his wish the other day and shot past him hah.
>>13996539
Yeah I had cunts filming inside the car and everything.
Coolant boiled over and went everywhere.
By the end my car wouldn't start, rear tyres were bald and my coolant was gone.
Still worth it tho.

My dad's friend is a freelance car salesman and was telling me that Subarus have really high km because people generally drive them more whether they like to drive them or the people that are attracted to Subarus are the type of people who drive lots.

Holy fuck audi made a V5 engine? how the fuck does that work? is the last cylinder vertical?
I was this car for sale, owner says the V6 was swapped for a V5 at 200,000km.
>>14000457
Can you ride big bikes now?
Also found this, though it has a bit of rust, is that something i could repair myself?
>>14000630
Yep, the P2 license down here is pretty much the same as the fulls so no more LAMS, can have pillions etc. The only difference being 0% BAC for P2 license holders, everything else is fair game.
>>13999888
>people continuing to reply to him
You guys never learn
>>14000645
>it has a bit of rust
Nope, rust is a bitch and there is always way more than first appears
>>14000666
Nice, been looking into it here in SA. Can't seem to figure out the difference between that and learners.
Still need to get out and practice more low speed stuff, can't do the tight uturns to save my life.
>>14000626
Google says It's actually a W5.
>>14000666
BIG BIKE WHEN DEVIL LORD??!
Wished it was automatic here.
>>14000729
yeah it looked a bit tatty.
how is the audi v6? any good?
pic is a v6 with awd. nigger rims are shit
>>14000768
Scratch that, It has the weird cylinder disposition of a W but with only one bank. No Idea what to call that.
>>14000807
a VR5? like vw's?
http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/brighton-le-sands/cars-vans-utes/2004-audi-a3-hatchback-auto-rego/1096737332

is an audi tho..
>>14000814
Exactly. What's that disposition called?
>>14000816
You gotta weigh it up.
The maintenance of an audi vs all that swag you gon' get and the pussy it will attract.
Keep it mind both things will cost a lot of money.
>>14000829
usually i just see them referred to as VR engines though i think their official designation is "narrow V" or "Shallow V"
Funky design.

Does Maccas do any drinks that are in a proper sealed container?

i've ueard it called a straight-vee-6, a narrow vee, 15 degree v6, stuff like that
referring to the vr6 motor of course
>>14000950
I think you can get coffees in a travel mug. Else you have to bring your own and pour it in yourself.
Besides that you can get bottles of water, just like every single person coming past from stereos. The amount of times I heard "I'll just have a bottle of water mate" was insane

So, How was your day /dat/?
>>14000457
I wonder if my front tyre is wider than your rear.
>>14000666
My understanding was P2 still had LAMS, unless you have a full rider license but a P2 overall license?
>>14000754
What part don't you understand? I can probably explain it.
>>14001049
I appreciated the warm weather as my bike started first try and got up to temp quickly.
>>14001057
What difference is there between learners and R-date? No info on my license and midnight riding ect seems to be tied to your P2s
>>14000754
It varies state by state, some places the P2 stage you're still under LAMS, have to display a green P etc and can't ride big bikes for like three years iirc.
>tight u-turns
Man I don't like doing those as well, and it's not like I ride a proper sportbike with clip-ons or anything either.
>>14000781
When I can afford one.
There's a used bike place up north so maybe I'll check that out and possibly trade the Ninjette in, depends really on what they have in stock and how much I get for trading in my Ninjette.
>>14000950
Don't think so.
Last time I did Maccas on the bike I just asked not to get the drink, was easier.
>mfw they almost refused service because of some bullshit about replacing spilt drinks
>I wasn't even getting a drink, specifically asked not to get one
>had to explain this to them while sitting on my bike in the drive-through, attendant had to go talk to her supervisor or some shit iirc
Never had any issues with KFC though, funnily enough.
Maybe invest in one of those cupholders that clip into your car's air vents and try and clip it to your windscreen (if you have one).
>>14001057
Most sportbike size front tyres are 120 section aren't they?
The tyre sizes for the Ninjette are 110/70 17 and 130/70 17, so pretty damn small. The Ninja 300 has a 140 section rear tyre iirc.
>My understanding was P2 still had LAMS, unless you have a full rider license but a P2 overall license?
See above, it varies state by state. Tassie doesn't do green P's for some reason.
>>14001049
What car do you drive that would overheat so easily?
>>14001079
>What difference is there between learners and R-date? No info on my license and midnight riding ect seems to be tied to your P2s
What car license (if any) do you hold? I can explain it once I know that.
>>14000754
What bike man? I'm happy to give you some assistance if I can.
>>14001092
Not that I eat fast food, but in SA it's against the law for them to refuse service to a motorcycle.
Mine are 120/70-ZR17 at the front and 190/50-ZR17 at the rear.
Starting to think about cars now that I have some money, already own a nice bike and unsure on which way to go for cars.
I'm really into smaller cars like the miata and MR2 but I feel like buying something more practical would be better since I have a fun vehicle already. What do dat?
>>14001172
I'm buying a KE70 soon for my daily, but I imagine any of those light small engined jap cars would work.
>>14001172
Red and white MR2 is your best bet for a practical drive. trust me I science
>>14001158
>120/70-ZR17 at the front and 190/50-ZR17
The front is only 10mm wider than my MC22, massive rear though, 140/70 on mine.
Anyway, currently have my drivers Ls, going on my PS when I get around to filling out the logbook. Bike is as above MC22, now that I'm used to it low speed is pretty good with its light weight, very easy to catch if I fuck up. Wouldn't mind some space between the handlebars and tank though.
Quick ride to the shops, the weather here in Perth is perfect. 23 degrees, deep blue cloudless skies, nice breeze.
Get out there if you can.
>>14000986
>Besides that you can get bottles of water
Oh shit yeah, I prefer water anyways.
Cheers lad.
>>14001092
>depends really on what they have in stock and how much I get for trading in my Ninjette.
Hope you get something decent for her, despite the shit she's gone through.
Might be a tough time of year to do it too, since it's summer time and all the good bikes will have sold by now
>>14001172
Buy a ute that you can fit your bike on the back, unless you want something with more than 2 seats
>>14001172
What bike
>>14001184
i really want a KE for my first car.
>>14001208
You yellowcbr anon? I'd be happy to meet up at some point and give you pointers if you like? I mean, my job is all low speed maneuvers. MC22s are tricky for that stuff though. I HIGHLY recommend using a dirt bike when you do the test.
>Driver Ls
R-Date will have the restrictions of a P1 license in that case. Once you go full it should be dropped though.
>The front is only 10mm wider than my MC22, massive rear though, 140/70 on mine.
Yeah it feels like a huge rear. They went to a 55 two years after mine.
>>14001241
Do it. You can learn to maintain the car, they're cheap, and it doesn't matter if you break it.

I haven't been bothered to chuck oil in it because I want the engine to blow or seize before I buy a new engine or car, it's been 4 months and it the check oil light has just come on, FYI: it burns oil and you have to refill it every 2-3 weeks.
>>14001597
is it the stock excel engine? if it's the stock motor i'm impressed. The stock g4ek is a piece of junk, they need a rebuild at 120k km. I've known of people chucking in the 2L engines from the early 2000s ones and gaining 40-50kw just by doing that. Also people swap in EVO motors making the car ridiculously quick.

No idea on the engine, but it's in an excel class so not fighting off real cars.
>>14001429
Not him, but MC22s are a blast to ride man. They aren't fast, but the noise is incredible and they're very light.
>>14001532
That an ER6N?
>undertail exhaust
Yeah I love them, they're pointless and add weight, but whatever.

To keep the cars cheap the engines cannot be modified, they use a Pedders Suspension for $1250.00, extractors for another $250.00 and a full roll cage costs $1,250.00 fitted,
“They have Bob Jane wheels, not real sure, but about $450.00, Federal control tyres $425.00. Then you need race seat , fire-extinguisher and people say it costs $4000.00 to build a car, but we have spent nearly $6000.00, though its race ready,” Street said.
The Ecards2Go.Com Street team chose to test their car at Wakefield Park on Tuesday, where Street said they ran all day and used only 20 litres of fuel or less, and did not mark the tyres,
“It is a super cheap category. You can run the full year for a maximum of $2,000, and if you have to replace a motor you can buy them for $400.

>>14001889
maaaan people used to mod the shit out of suzuki swifts here to win the shitty suzuki swift cup.
and the same shit is encroaching on our 2L NA cup. they recently banned a few guys for cheating with gearboxes, taking out all the stock ratios and fitting a racing set. Theres also been alot of weight cheating, i cant remember the leniency over factory but they were taking it to silly levels.
my commie seems to have a hard time starting when it's hot, starts perfect in the morning but struggles a little after being driven, also sputters when coasting if it's hot. Any ideas what it could be?
>inb4 it's a commodore
>>14001960
I'm no expert but that sounds like something to do with the fuel system, Fuel getting hot and evaporating before hitting the engine maybe?
>not owning a tastefully modified Excel GT that you race with on the weekend
>>14001923
Having something like 24 hr of lemons would be better to enter with a beater. Those new swifts look mint though.

Dunlop 500 allows 2k cup cars m8. you can turn up in your DD and do it.
you dont even need a rollcage/race seat/harnesses so long as your slower than a specified laptime
>>14002001
Not for purchase, custom fabrication, m8.

I might have to go to it and blow up my daily.

What would usually be done in that case?, any way to check it?
>>14002024
A Hyundai Excel. Too bad it's not in Australia.
>>14002057
I have no idea, I'd just take it to a mechanic. Commodores love mechanics.
>>14002057
when did you last change your fuel filter? start by doing small simple things and then move on to bigger ones if its not fixed by the small things.
>doing my drivers test
>guy in skyline pulls up next to me
>revs the shit out of his engine
>I'm sitting there in the base model lancer
>ask the instructor "do I slip the clutch or just dump it in this situation?"
>just a nervous chuckle from him
Serious people are no fun, should've taken the skyline but didn't feel like wasting all the money in fees.
Now to do this to all the learners I see, I must continue the cycle
>>14002067
Never, no idea if it has been changed. I know a new pump was put in when I bought it
>>14002057
sounds like a fueling issue.
Fuel filter is a good idea per >>14002067 though i will admit it does sound like fuel boil. i didnt know EFI cars suffered from fuel boil.
picked up a v8 lexus ls400 for $1450 and its regoed and perfectly reliable. pretty damn happy as its spacious and less embarrasing to pick people up in than my toyota sprinter
>>14002089
try changing it then. it could be clogged up if its pretty old and causing the start issues and the car coughing when coasting.
>>14001694
Yeah boss.
>>14001816
Or this happens
>stand drink in snuggly

>have to lean through a corner
>drink spills out in bag
T-thanks.
If I was that desperate for the drink i'd probably just bring a bottle I can pour it into, but now I know they do bottled water i'll just get that next time.
i got the camira running but the radio and the aircon are pretty schizo.
the jokes are on you losers for thinkin it couldn't be fixed.
>>14002094
pics? i've been thinking about picking one up. i'm also curious what the fuel consumption is on a toyota V8 (since i recall the ls400 uses a toyota engine)
>>14001158
>and 190/50-ZR17 at the rear.
>dem meats
Just out of interest, how much does a rear tyre for the R1 run you? It's about $200ish for the Ninjette depending on what you get.
>>14001211
Hopefully I will, she's fine mechanically. Just the victim of an idiot behind the bars lel. As are almost all learner bikes though I reckon.
>Might be a tough time of year to do it too, since it's summer time and all the good bikes will have sold by now
You make a damn good point. They had a gorgeous midnight purple ZX9R I kinda wanted but it sold a while back, damn shame.
Maybe it's best to wait until autumn, idk.
>>14002099
we never said it cant be fixed, its just going to be a piece of shit
>>14002099
Wonder what's going to break next, maybe a wheel bearing going out around a corner
>>14002057
something to try.
you know where your fuel pump is right?
Find it, when its cold, get a friend to put your ignition into the on position, (dashlights on, enging not started)
Listen for the fuel pump, you'll hear it start/stop
it should start, run, then stop as the fuel system pressurises you might hear it different, for my car i only hear it stop.
When the car is warm, do the same again. id like to know what the fuel pump is doing, is it running? not running at all?
>>14002088
I always do dumb shit in front of learners and people doing driving lessons/tests. It's always funny because they shit themselves.
>>14002104
It's a little rough round the edges, the falcon wheels cost me $200 extra aswell.
Fuel wise the are okay considering the size and age. Better on fuel that a vz v6 commodore. I get about 500km per tank and costs about $80 to fill up. I drove it pretty hard though. Have a look at Toyota soarers, they had the same motor if you don't need a 4 door
did someone say Jimmy?
>>14002125
how many litres is the tank? surely its got to be big for a V8. also i assume it uses regular, theres no way you can fill a tank on premium for $80 unless its a tiny tank.
>>14002125
>falcon wheels
You don't mean Ford Falcon wheels do you? I really hope you don't...
>>14002125
does it have leather seats and a shitload of luxurious stuff?

>>14002109
>Maybe it's best to wait until autumn, idk
Might be a bigger factor for over there since it actually gets cold down there and snows and shit? Though it isn't a big place, so I don't really know.
I reckon just check out the local places every week, maybe leave your info there with some of the bikes that interest you and if they get one in they can give you a buzz. Check out Scumtree every now and then for a gem to pop up.
You've got your upgraded license, there's no rush to get a big bike yet really. As long as you have 2 wheels underneath you then it's all dandy.
>ZX9R
Muh dick. I would be very happy if you got one of those. Just don't crash it pls.
>>14002095
Thanks I'll check it out
>>14002099
I looked it up on wikipedia and it's literally the only car I've ever seen with an entire sub category naming the common issues, which takes up a quarter of the page.
It is also named after an aboriginal word, so maybe that's why it doesn't work.

>Just out of interest, how much does a rear tyre for the R1 run you? It's about $200ish for the Ninjette depending on what you get.
Anywhere from $300-500 depending on what you get. Pilot Sports are just under $400 for the rear.
>ZX9R
Get something with EFI. It's great on bikes. Electronic throttle doesn't matter so much though. I like it, but it doesn't feel as responsive as a cable. Once I remap it though it should make it instant.
I still want to get an R6, 675R, or 848 next year if I can.

A ZX9R would be great, especially one of the E1-E2 (early 2000's iirc) models. The one I had my eye on looked almost black until the light hit it just right and then the purple shone though, it was amazing.
I'll definitely be keeping my eye on the market though, who knows what will pop up.
I'll do my best not to crash whatever I end up with, believe me. I've learned a lot from the Ninjette, I don't want to "re-learn" those lessons on the new steed.
>>14002228
I'd prefer something with EFI but we'll see what the budget allows.
The carbs on the Ninjette have never given me any trouble, but then again it's a four year old bike that's never sat for any real length of time (at least to my knowledge) so yeah...
>>14002367
What's your budget and what sort of bike you looking at getting? My default choice for cheap sport bikes would be a CBR600F4i.
Does a DC2 ITR sound good for a third car? I've owned a Starlet then a Celica, and now I want something fun and cheap that I can DD. I don't really mind if my car is FWD or RWD, just want something that I can work on and get a good amount of fun out of it.
>>14002318
theyve always been 'almost about to go under' for a long ass time now, just bleeding money.
i dont know how theyve survived after JB hifi has been muscling in on them
>>14002410
Around three to four grand roughly, I don't want to blow all my savings on a new bike.
Something like a sport-touring/sport naked or a proper sportbike would do me. As long as it's reasonably comfortable, doesn't vibrate too much and I can stick a decently sized windscreen on it (not a major thing) it'll do me.
Worth buying /dat/?

I'm car shopping and just want a comfy luxury-ish sedan. Any recommendations aside from falcodores/accords/IS250's, max budget 15k.
>>14002499
Thank you for the picture, I never knew I was calling everything by the wrong name... Do you have a more in depth one the the inside bit of the moving box?
>>14002499
Not as a DD. A VTi-R would be better suited for that.
>>14002136
Yes ford falcon wheels. 17x8 +30 is pretty good fitment for alloys and for $200 with 2 brand new tyres you can't go wrong
>>14002143
Leather seats yes, luxurys yes. Find the specs on them it's pretty good for 1989
>>14002132
Tank is 80 litres I'm pretty sure. Says it needs 95 but have been running 91 no problems at all. It's a pretty solid car, very nice to drive
I found the reason everyone in Adelaide just swerves everywhere! Everyone, even the people without these are using these. As for the lack of indicating, no right hands m90.

Don't think there are any for sale currently, I'll keep my eyes peeled.
They have a more upright riding position than the RR, don't they?
>>14002754
1100's come up for sale occasionally, pretty sure there's one up currently. I think it's a bit rough though.
1100/1200's s bit of a jump from a 250 though, both in power and sheer size.

>>14002920
Kek, that's how I thought too.
But having digital versions of books has helped me out. Just chuck shit on my phone/tablet/computer and have a little read any time I have a spare moment.
Fuck reading the load of brain dumbing shit that goes on in facebook, just go and read.
You get to the point where you start enjoying it and put other things off, or just feel like reading a whole bunch at a time.
>>14002944
I got the audio book versions of Dexter and listened to them while reading the books. There were a few parts that made me kek because the copy of the book that I had was different to the one used for the recording. Some words were different and there were a couple of paragraphs that weren't recorded.
>>14002965
Yeah, it's usually dependant on US/UK versions.
My main problem with audiobooks is if i'm not doing anything else, I get way too comfy and the person reading is usually a bit slow for me so I end up falling asleep, then have to find out where I need to start up again.

Its retarded the timing to prevent engine knock. It will be fine temporarily but will go wrong fast.

As I understand, the VTi-R is just below the ITR in terms of performance right? What makes it a better DD? Also, is it good to learn MT in?
>>13995930
the GAA had a habit of chewing out timing belts.
thats why there was only 4 capri race cars built plus the engines and parts are rare and expensive.
plus fairlane shell will be to heavy for it. stick it into a escort instead

only real things that go wrong with them is air suspention plays up. and the gas gauges sometimes play up.
morning cunts.
so hopefully in the next few weeks I'lll be getting my first bike, either a klx250s or a drz400e
problem is I've never rode a motorbike before, do they teach you how to when your doing the ridersafe courses to get your permit (sa).
also how much should i budget out for gear?
so hopefully in the next few weeks Jimmy will return
