Safety inspections are necessary in some states. Some places don't even let the car back onto the road if it has a severe problem that needs to be fixed immediately.

Thanks for this. I've saved it.
Plan on giving the Subaru a decent service soon.
>>14466823
Who are you going to?
>>14466837
I'm going to do it myself anon.
Thoughts on the Holden Astra VXR? I haven't seen any advertising for this thing at all, and yet it doesn't look that bad. This should be butting heads with the Focus ST, and yet its receiving no attention what-so ever.
>>14466850
Just keep a fire extinguisher handy just in case.
>>14466850
uh oh
>>14466860
Kek good one anon.
I did actually buy a fire extinguisher.
I always meant to buy one since owning the MR2 but just kept forgetting about it.
>>14466853
>Astra
>>14466872
what needs servicing on the subee jimmy?
does it have any problems?
have you ever done a service before?
>>14466891
Nothing in particular, just want to do something to it so I know it's been done.
People do lie and say they've had shit done to a car when they haven't.
Going to do pads and rotors, oil and coolant.
Will paint the roof too once I find a place I can do it.
>>14466806
>29 year old

>>14466919
>no filters, plugs or belts
cmon jim may as well do it all
I was watching the webm of the anon sliding around before and wondered, how do you straighten up in a RWD? In a fwd you just give her a bit more throttle right?
>>14466968
>plugs or belts
Fuck that on a flat 4
>>14466968
Will be doing the air and probably oil filter too but have to agree with >>14466975 they might be a bit much for me at this stage.
>>14466951
>Skeme 015
> NEVER GIVES UP
are performance cars and poor man's cars the only things you guys know/care about?
>>14466860
It's fine
I've posted before about changing oil on a falcon, now the car is unused so I'm giving my self the challange of trying to fix it, the car was in an accident so it's a bit fucked
So far:
Leak from the bellhousing
Suspension clunk
Front end shudders badly when braking
Bumper and skirts fucked
Not sure what else but most likely many suspension parts have been damaged
Checked what was dripping from the bellhousing and I'm pretty sure it's oil, is that the main seal on the engine?
>>14467038
I know about anime. That's about it.
>>14467038
bikes, dont forget bikes
>>14467043
Rear main seal could be fucked.
Also is the car a sedan? Since fords diff bushes are literal garbage tier and fuck out all the time which could explain the "clunk".
>>14467054
Yes it's a sedan, clunk is definitely in the front end around the drivers side.
What's involved in changing the seal?, I know the transmission has to come out, but it isn't an engine out job is it?
Aren't tie rods usually what cause clunking too?
>>14467068
I think the passenger strut or something around that snapped and was welded up, so that will have to go too
>>14467068
suspension bushes cause clunks
so does fucked struts
rear main seal is engine in, but transmission out
shudder under brakes is very likely warped brake rotors, cheap as fuck, do pads at the same time or I'll laugh at you
>>14467068
Falcon parts are everywhere and cheap as fuck so you won't have a problem getting them.
Engine in but tranny out for rear main seal.
Have this vid to help:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tYFntUfmuys
>>14467080
Cool, keen as to give this a go as a long term project
Going to be a struggle seeing as the most advanced thing I've done is a transmission filter, you can see if bushes are worn without removing them right?
>>14467043
>leak from bellhousing
probably rear main seal, gearbox out job
>suspension clunk
could be anything suspension wise, look for fucked out ball joints, if the car has been lowered check the strut tops too
>shuddering front end
warped rotors, need new rotors and pads
>bumper and skirts fucked
find a wreck hopefully the same colour
Unless its a cool old ford (pre XE) i daresay its not worth the effort, you can pick up running shitheap EA falcons for like $500 so unless you're just wanting to kill time i'd move on and get something else.
>>14467043
just set the cunt on fire holy shit
>>14467094
if they have cracks in them then they're fucked
>>14467051
I cant watch anime anymore since pretty much all new series seem to be set in highschool and I really hate being reminded of those time
>>14467094
A transmission I just remembered a bolt head snapped on... Fuck
>>14467094
What model coon? Also post pics of coon
>>14467111
Au futura, nothing special
I figure this is pointless as you cunts only post about R32s and VY commodores BUT does anyone know where i can get tie rod ends rebuild/reman'd?
The ones i need are NLA and have been for 10+ years
Help
How much is an aircon regassing? Its fucking hot and im so desperate im accidentally even
>>14467118
Double coon. Lovin it
>>14467116
Ba I mean
lads
e36 318is, how slow and shit will it be?
I just want a cheap manual rwd that I can do rain skids in and that won't attract cops
I know it's slow but would I be able to live with it for 1-2 years until I throw a turbo at it?
it will kick the back out in the rain, r-right?
>>14467120
Nice mate, just need to move those mirrors to the front for that JDM swag
>>14467125
Yes, it will slide around but it'll be slow as shit
Get something with a bit more power for sikker skids
>>14467120
google steering shops, decent ones should be able to do it
either that or ebay them, reputable places have good quality
>>14467125
too fucking slow
get a 325 or 328 or get out
How would I go about finding out how much torque I need to use to do up the bolts for my caliper and its mount?
>>14467126
Not mine mate (i wish) but similar. im after TRE for a 1977 Capella which are like hens teeth. Early model stuff (70-74) is easy but 76-77 is very hard to find.
>>14467133
service manual
>>14467125
it won't be very powerful but you can still have fun with it. its honestly one of the best RWD cars you can get on a budget since they have pretty good handling. my mate manages to do all kinds of insane shit with his.
>>14467103
Can we drill a size under the bolt and get it out?, don't want to have to tap it
>>14467132
wanted to stay under 5k and e36s either seem to be 4-cyl or auto for that price, with every second one beat to shit
>>14467128
but muh super bmw handling bro
>>14467133
Google allcarmanuals, free Haynes manuals
>>14467139
If you've snapped the head off the bolt will the transmission still come out if you remove all the other bolts? That way you can use viceys/drill it out much easier. Dunno if falcoons have a threaded part in the bellhousing
Is there any bonus to having an engine with a square bore:stroke? I swear there was but I cant remember
>>14467147
isn't that some survey scam
>>14467144
for 5k you should be able to find a 320 or 325. i only really see 318 two doors and not many 325s, so if you want the two door you'll probably end up with a 318.
which isnt bad, its just not incredibly powerful.
>>14467144
320 or 323 is only acceptable if you weld diff and strip out the interior IMO, they're nothing special
318is is just too slow
I have a E30 318is and it's too slow
>>14467150
best horsepower to torque balance compared to undersquare or oversquare
>>14467120
wat kar is dat
>>14467148
Guess I'll find that out, the bolts aren't that big so I think they just barely go into the trans
>>14467159

>>14467147
>>14467137
Cheers. If I can find one online that will help alot, if not I guess I'd have to look at buying one.
>>14467154
Nah I got 2 manuals from them no problem, might be missing a few pages but it's free
>>14467168

Felt good. Think was clean as fuck as well, not a single mark on all that chrome.
>>14467186
my download speed is quick enough for me
upload is a joke though
>>14467218
Holy shit I'm jealous, I barely hit 5mb
>>14467218
Damn anon what's up with that upload speed?
I've had to give up downloading the manual. The time just kept going up and up and it wasn't downloading at all.
>tfw no NBN

I'm pretty active on /gg/ as well.
>>14467052
This too.
>>14467125
>e36 318is, how slow and shit will it be?
Really slow. Buy a 325 or a 328.

>>14467120
Can't answer your question, but that's awesome. Friend has a few RX-4s.
Picked the CBR up today. Hopefully I'll get it started this week. Forks and frame look straight, but I'll know soon.

I had 120 megabit in my last place. Just moved and I'm getting 5 megabit.
>>14467224
Sounds like you had no seeds, not that your internet was too slow.
>>14467224
lel, I'm not on the nbn
I think it's because I'm on cable, have always had shit-tier upload speed
>>14467228
I know that's most likely the case but I've always had trouble with direct downloads.
I actually found someone torrenting it so I'm going to try and get it. It's only downloading at a 2-5kB/s but at least it IS download.
how fun and reliable are 7 series? im thinking about one. i cant resist that cool front end that looks like an old soviet limousine.
>>14467243
>tfw no Soviet Union cars here except just one model from Lada
>tfw it wasnt even the Lada Riva
>>14467243
>cool front end that looks like an old soviet limousine.
I know that feel, I want a Toyota century so bad for the jap version of that. Plus V12 power.
Expensive as fuck though
Am I a faggot for wanting this?
http://store.enkei.com/product/enkei-hoodie
>>14467156
Cool, adding that as a plus then
>>14467261
damn thats a cool toyota. it really looks like something Gorbachev would be driven around in.
anyone able to rec some cars that look like soviet era cars? less expensive the better since tfw proletariat
>>14467243
>i cant resist that cool front end that looks
exactly like the front end of any other BMW ever made.
>>14467156
>>14467155
mainly wanted the 4-cyl for simplicity, nothing like having space in an engine bay
was planning on a (hopefully) cheap lsd and shorter diff ratio
2-door as well because it looks a million times better imo.
do the 323s also have that nikasil problem? was another reason for the 4-cyl, found an actual e36 325i but it was 7k and disappeared very quickly
>>14467277
just get a 316 and swap the 2.8 6 banger in
>>14467277
Let's look at the real question.
Why is the 323 a 2.5L engine?
>>14467275
whatever you say jimmy. why do you hate BMW so much?
>>14467275
>exactly like the front end of any other BMW ever made.
SEVERE WARNING FOR IMMEDIATE PUBLICATION
SHITSTORM APPROACHING
>>14467280
He's a GM whore m8.
>>14467277
Nikasil problem wasn't a thing here as far as I know
325 sedans come up for 4-6k here
>>14467279
323 was M52 2.5, the shitty one, alloy block
325 was M50 2.5, iron block, made more power
328 was M52 2.8, alloy, best power
>>14467280
didnt he trade a 525 for the astra?
>>14467280
Fuck I want an 8 series so bad
>>14467292
>he traded a 525 for the astra
>>14467294
i went to see one a few weeks back. i borrowed my parents brand new Passat so that he would think i wasnt a time waster looking for a test drive.
needless to say i was a timewaster but oh fuuuuck was it fun. the V12 sound visited my dreams my weeks after it.

>>14467292
No, I did not trade the BMW for the Astra.
I swapped the MR2 for the BMW then I sold the BMW.
>>14467312
>selling a bmw then buying an astra
>>14467304
>tfw no V12
One day
>>14467312
>then I sold the BMW
then bought the astra
>>14467309
desu I can't wait until the next 3 series gen comes out so people start ditching their e92s
>>14467315
i wouldnt get a V12 8 series since it was literally two 6s strapped together and had two ECUs. the V8 is the one we want.
>>14467318
i love the looks but i wouldnt trust the reliability of them. i also recall everything is weird and electrical now so even changing the oil is a bitch.

>then it caught on fire
>>14467330
do you still have the other astra?
>>14467333
And that's before you take into account a convertible Astra...
>>14467336
Yes, I still have the original Astra.
I am however trying to sell it.
>>14467343
what's the bet he's going to buy another astra
>>14467322
Maybe not that V12, a jag or the century though would be good. The century one will run on only one bank in case it breaks as well
>>14467261
there is a couple of motors for sale on gumtree.
>>14466806
I hope jerome fucks his sweet white boi pussy.
But, I know that won't happen. At best he will bet some community service and a good behaviour bond.

>>14467326
>daily jimmy is a dumb shit thread

>>14467346
i'd sooner trust a BMW V12 over a Jags V12
>>14467345
I'm not going to buy another Astra any time soon anon.

>How long until we get some doriftu videos?
Dunno man, depends on how long it takes me to get a block and bottom end internals here and prepped for a quick build. That and work plays a part unfortunately. I have to create some sort of electronics and communications focused project so I can pass my course. Was thinking of building a quadcopter from scratch, as in doing all the programming, building of ESC's and frame on my end of things rather than just buying a kit. Would also have to develop my own RF transmitter and receiver to control it too. Starting to stress a little about it to be honest.
That and I've been hit with a mountain load of bills all at once. Tyres, 2 car regos, CTP, home and contents insurance, pretty sure there's more but I can't remember at the moment. Feel like I'm getting royally ass fucked and the corporations aren't using lube at the moment.
>>14467541
About 18 thousand kilometres.
>>14467527
Mate, i'm having thoughts about it.

Fuck off It ain't something big to rip a skid. Ya BOY killed two tyres tonight. Yeah I bet you need to fix your bottom end you giant faggot
Buying first racecar and probably DD since ill probably sell the DD to buy it.
What do i get? i want to stay under 2l to race in the same class as a few friends.
>>14468156
Saw a toyota surf N60 for sale, would be interesting to lower it to make it track useful, but would probably need alot of work to lower it but maintain functioanlity. (also it was only the 96bhp version so it was all just a pipe dream)
Realistically im looking at an Auto BMW318 or a manual corolla FX
>>14468156
god machine
>>14468182
sure ill just pull an extra 27k out of my ass.
Only got 3k and thats for the whole car, ideally able to get rollcage and tires in on that.
>>14468232
well put in a price limit next time on your post

>Dream Car City at Haberfield had its licence suspended on the spot when police raided the dealership this morning.
>Master Cars at Blacktown, as well as Edward Lee Imports and Prestige Auto Centre at Concord, were issued with notices to show cause as to why they should not face disciplinary action.
>>14468232
You're that guy who made his own thread, right?
You've got nothing for that price, unless you can pick up a literal shitbox that has been thrashed to hell and back, and has unnecessary mods like roll cage etc already added
Look for really fucked over commodores if you're desperate for speed at your really bad price.
>>14468232
>Only got 3k and thats for the whole car, ideally able to get rollcage and tires in on that.
No chance
Come back around 12-15k and might have some ideas
Not being a cunt, but that's really where it ended up with a lot of work, cheap shit and whatever else that can be borrowed/charity
Damn, got my first speeding fine ever after 9 years of driving.
8km/h over, $100 fine and no demerit points lossed.
Fug.
>>14468329
Shoulda obeyed the 40kmh speed limits brah
>>14468329
I'd actually appeal that to get it cleared, tell them you're a good boy, dindu nuffin and it was a momentary lapse of concentration.
It will more than likely get tossed out and you don't pay shit.
>>14468332
>>14468346
It was a 60 zone, pretty sure I only sped up to beat the traffic lights.
Yeah the appeal thing on the back says they may summon you to court? Nowhere to put "im rly a gud boi pls dont get teh paddle" though.
>>14468370
Check the state debt recovery office mate, generally they'll clear it with no worries, no court or anything like that if you've got a clean driving record for about 2-3 years from memory.
Hell I've done it, fuck the revenue raisers
>>14468324
for entry level events i dont need a cage. its about $900 for a set of toyo R1R's
>>14468309
>roll cage
>uncessacay
For entry level stuff, sure its not "required" but its a safety feature id like to get fairly early on.
>>14468476
>Roll cage
>Entry level stuff
>Deliberately obfuscating anything people say
Leaning towards calling b8, friendos.
To clarify, in case I'm just talking to an idiot instead of a troll, I'm saying a roll cage is unnecessary for a sub 3k shitbox. You will literally not find anything worth putting a roll cage in. Fucking pull your head in, and think about it. How many people would spend far, far more than the cars value in modifying it for actual track use, and THEN sell it at the same price as the stock pieces of shit that is within your price range. FUCKING NONE.
There are no modified, track ready cars in your budget, and there never will be.
>>14468705
i think youre a bit lost mate.
lay off the piss and come back later ok?
>>14468745
You would have been better off just staying quiet, at least you wouldn't have tipped your hand that you're a troll, and a poor one at that.
>>14466853
good car if youre a female
otherwise i wouldnt recommend a round baby blue hatchback
>>14468771
lol, nah i just got tired of you being a retard.
i still plan to get something, gonna look at an FX Corolla 'soon' (found one gonna call seller tomoro) "3k Shitbox" theres a few FX corolla racecars out there thanks to the 4age being well known and widely supported.
Another option was a bluebird with the 3SGE engine, but sedan (heavy) and fwd really didnt interest me. i dont mind the lighter weight peugeots but i dont know anyone who knows anything about those and >french car >australia nice aftermarket.
Early starlets can be had for cheap, as can just about anything in the pic i posted (thats all 2L NA, no type R's) about half of those are caged for production series racing.
as for "ready to run" cars i found a datsun 120y and a subaru leone both with cages, seats and harnesses homologated/certed and ready to race for $3500
Theres always going for a falcodore but i havent see any for sale for cheap.
>>14466853
From what little I know about them, the Focus is a much better sorted out car in terms of being able to get its power down effectively with some tricked out suspension and diff. Whereas the Astra scrabbles around like a dog on lino trying to hook up
The smaller Fords always where nicely put together cars over the years. Festi's, Focuses and the like just sort of always kept on trucking, maybe not the nicest of buzzboxes at the lower specs, but they just did what they say on the can.
>>14468949
so what you're saying is that the astra does sikk skids and that the ford is unaustralian
>>14468156
Buy an twin cam Excel, they're popular for shitbox racing.

Currently there is this in the meet pasta.
> South Australia - Last Saturday Of Month Around 1PM
> 27th February 2016 - Maybe meet at a beach and cruise along the coast this time?
>>14470689
I should be able to make it to that.
Going to put on new pads and rotors this weekend along with the new wheels.
A cruise along the coast would be nice.
Popped a boner over a tard chick last night.

> the epic journey for breakfast
looking at buying a car it's in really good condition but the seller says it needs a new right engine mount. is this something that should send me running for the hills or would it be okay to buy and eventually replace. guess it would cost a bit to replace.
can you help me /dat/ ?
>>14471837

RIP. Thats going to cost a ton since 4x4 diesel battery
>>14471837
Usually mounts only fail on old cars, but it doesn't mean anything else is seriously wrong.
I had to replace both lower mounts on my starlet I used the "cast your own mounts" Method and I haven't had issues sense
>>14471837
Whats wrong with it? Has it straight up failed or just starting to get noisy? If its failed thats starting to show the age of the car
>>14471954
Friend of mine gets all his 4x4 batteries and marine batteries from the same place. Usually cost him around $100. I can ask where he gets them if you like?
>>14471837
depends on the car

I see a peugeot 205gti.
good luck finding one of those for less than 6k-10k. let alone one with the mods you want.
>>14472257
>tfw no 205 gti
Anyone got the webm of the peugeot sliding around from last week?
i'm thinking about lubing up my power windows and door hinges, is this shit any good guys?
http://www.bunnings.com.au/wd-40-specialist-300g-high-performance-silicone-lubricant_p6100407
i've used silicone lubricant before but a different brand which no longer exists. it makes my windows glide in dead silence so i want to apply it to my other car.
>>14472497
this one?
Went to go see this today, I sent this guy a low ball offer over a week ago and he got back to me after I bought the Subaru.
After taking it for a test drive I asked how much he wanted for it, he said $2800. I told him I only have $1,500. He told me that he's got some other people interested in it but to let him know if I can get some more funds.
So I said goodbye and drove home (Awesome drive along Greenhill Road btw)
By the time I get home I've got a message from him.
>I'll do 1600 if you take it tonight. Thanks

>>14472644
>I'll do 1600 if you take it tonight. Thanks
will you do it?
>>14472702
>>14472658
I would but I only have $1500 and that's all of my money.
>>14472758
try and knock him down $100 more m8. you could resell it for a profit.
>>14468290
>, were issued with notices to show cause as to why they should not face disciplinary action.
there is legit no fucking right answer to this. they have to get fined. fucking overpriced shit
>>14468329
how do you get 0 demerit points?
i know in the us you can just pay fines or take points
Bug Eye Impreza Y/N?
>>14472784
>Base model Impreza
No
>WRX
Yes, if you can find one that hasn't been beaten to shit.
>STi
Yes. Absolutely.
>>14472768
What sort of profit are we talking about?
I'm also trying to figure out why someone else hasn't bought it already.
The only thing wrong with it was slight paint fade, which is pretty much normal for any car of its age. And the engine mount. There is a little vibration in the steering wheel at idle but besides there I couldn't feel anything wrong with the car.
>>14466675
Has anyone driven the Fiesta XR4?
r8 out of 8?
Is it good, will it rise in price in the next 4 years?
I heard ford intentionally restricted high rpms. Is this true?
>>14472845
reallistically almost as much as he's asking. you could seriously get about $2500 for it.
fucked up paint can also put some people off so its no surprise it hasnt sold yet. so just put the price a little under what others are selling for and youre gold.
pro-tip: dont include anything about the pain in the ad so more people show up
