<Start Rant> So after i went to All Jap Day in Adelaide last week end I've noticed on deserting thing people with a spare 1k go and buy a cheap digital SLR camera from jb's or what have you then proceed to take very average photos and to top it off put stupid massive watermarks across the photo I am all for them protecting there "art works" copy write by use of a water mark but put it in a discrete location so as not to make it hard to see the original bloody image. </End Rant> please elaborate on this bad trend in our motorsport i113.photobucket.com/albums/n237/lyntonsmith/watermark.jpg

Didn't quite know where to put this. Found these guys on the interwebs, they do bolt on flares for quite a decent price. About 100 Euros (around $AUD130 shipped) No idea of quality but considering lots of places want upwards of $250 for a set it'd probably be worth it for a track car. Located in Poland (I think). Anyone dealt with them before or know of/about them?

Hey there guys and gals.i have been a tyre fitter since i left school in 2006, and i just kinda feel like I'm not going anywhere with it? I have been thinking about getting into something different, but there arent many choices out in these country towns. Has anyone else been through this stage? Not quite sure what to do :/

Hi guys..... whats new...

Thread for cars that make you facepalm. My first contribution. can't find a 2 door panelvan? Paint it to look like one. EDIT: And that pimping woodgrain interior :o

Just saw this in auto wreckers the car had only a starter problem :( Now it's going to the scrap yard What a shame !!!

The Mayor of Ipswitch wants young people limited to slower cars after an 18yr-old drivng a Subaru survived a crash that killed two passengers. Personally I think its a load of crap, typical of a politician wanting to be seen to be "doing something'. Limiting what cars you can drive is just an extension of the L and P plate scenario, and you can see that plenty of inexperienced drivers kill themselves quite well with the vehicles they are allowed to drive. Banning certain cars will have as much effect as banning drugs and guns... You have to take responsibilty for yourself, and if you get into that car then you are saying you are happy with the driver. I've tol…

I've seen a BMX thread so I searched for a mountain bike thread and nothing came up so I'll start one. Years ago I rode enduro dirt bikes, I was winging to a mate about the costs of this and he invited me to come ride a DH bike as it's mainly a setup cost. Well I did ended up hooked sold the old dirt bike and the rest is history. Raced a couple of state race rounds which is fun and the DH community is very welcoming. I mainly ride the local trails 15min from home and mt buller when they are open. So here are details of my current ride(pics later tonight when I get to the laptop). Frame : 2003 Kona stab deluxe(could have a newer one but I like the way it rides). Fork…

ive been searching for it for ages :( can anyone please find it? cheers Evan

There is a variety of setups on this forum and I am sure many of you guys have some nice vids of how your car accelerates - gauges vids or outside car vids. If you do -> show it here.. this could get interesting :-) Except for show-off factor :-) this would also be a point of reference of what you can expect from some different setups.

Made this just because i was quite bored and felt like doing something relating to my degree enjoy :D https://vimeo.com/55705402

has anybody gotten into these pixel cars. i always saw them on forums other forums and finally found the main website for them at www.pixelcars.com not trying to advertise the site just wondering if anybody else has made one of there rolla. i made mine out of a black flat front ke70 wagon and a slant front sedan chopping the slkant front and rear window onto the wagon. it is all done in paint. i then tried to make the rest of it as close to my car as possible. turned out pretty cool

Seeing as I spend so much time here & not into a typical travel blog, I'll just post this up here. For both Rollaclub & general people I know alike, those who don't do Facebook might wonder if I'm still alive. Should be able to post some updates along the way too, internet cafes are plentiful. :) Rollaclub tops Facebook in regards to priorities! :lol: *Insert paragraph about needing a holiday, chasing dreams, living life etc here* Fly out of Melbourne on the 16th August, get into Dublin, Ireland on the 17th. Pick up an Opel Corsa (or similar) hire car & head southwest to Cork, stopping off at Kilkenny Castle along the way. Plan to track down some famil…

We Shall Keep The Faith Oh! You who sleep in Flanders Fields, Sleep sweet - to rise anew! We caught the torch you threw And holding high, we keep the faith With All who died. We cherish, too the poppy red That grows on fields where valor led; It seems to signal to the skies That blood of heroes never dies, But leads lustre to the red Of the flower that blooms above the dead In Flanders Fields. And now the Torch and Poppy Red We wear in honor of our dead. Fear not that ye have died for naught; We'll teach the lesson that ye wrought In Flanders Fie…

Hey rolla clubbers. Seems I love my corolla and the rolla clubbers, do you rekon you could all take two minutes out of your day and click on my link and like the photo of my JZA80. Thanks alot.

We all know you eager driving enthusiasts are keen to get your mits on the latest release from the Forza Franchise. But, is there anything that’s marginally different about the latest version? You bet there is. It isn’t just the gameplay style, but everything from dirt roads to night time driving has been added to the latest incarnation of the award winning series. So how can the best driving simulator, get any better? Well, the game has changed its format. It isn’t aimed to be an improvement on the last game, more of a branch off. Using a tweaked engine, the guys at Turn10 Studios have figured how to incorporate an open-world style of play into the game. …

Its not like AA, there are only three steps 1: Admit you love Corolla's 2: Accept you love Corolla's 3: Go to step one. Air your problems in a safe area, I'll start. I got paid out when I lost my job and instead of putting a few thousand on my mortgage I bought another Corolla I don't even have room for. I also need new clothes

Hi Not sure if this is in right section My names dan I'm from the uk and I'm.looking to buy a ke70 2 door if there is such a thing After seeing dubrolles car made me want to start one, If anyone has any good info please don't hesitate to post Hi once again

Car fans around the world can breathe a sigh of relief – your latest fix of action packed virtual racing is here. Courtesy of Turn10, the latest rendition of the highly prized ‘racing simulator’ has opted to change the style of gameplay to something new. And we’re all for it. Forza Horizons differs greatly from the previous games. It is not so much an extension of the previous game; more a branch off so to say. Gameplay has changed in a sense that there is an ‘open world’ method of browsing challenges and races. One can cruise the streets of Colorado looking for races that they can compete in to no doubt earn dollars, prizes and cars. Sounds good! Visual…

The weather was perfect, and with a crowd of over 200,000, the Bathurst 1000 was set to be an epic day of motorsport history. With Jesse Dixon winning the Shannons Supercar Showdown, it was up to him and his team mate Cameron Waters to pilot the Shannons V8 car around the mountain on the 50th anniversary of the great race. You may remember Cameron from last year’s Shannons Supercar Showdown, as he took out the title and became the youngest person to ever drive at Bathurst. The pairing, with a combined age of only 38, were the youngest ever duo in history to take on the race. Last year saw young gun Waters bin his car and not finish the race, but…

Yes you are! hahahaha. WGMG Went to my mums in Oakey for a family party. Jumped out of the gfs car and bombed the big hill into town on my skateboard. By the time I got to the bottom there's these 2 idiot cops with their lights on behind me. They write me a ticket for riding my skateboard. This world has changed. I used to love Queensland because it was young and free. Now I want to burn the whole place to the ground and start over without all the protectionist, prohibitionist wankers claiming they are libertarians while taking away all your freedoms. Conservative government by nature is designed to sit back and let people do their own thing…

The finale is here. It has been 11 weeks in the making, but we’re down to the last leg of the competition! It was 77 days ago that 10 rookie racecar drivers of all description entered the Kelly Racing headquarters in order to pit their skills against each other. As the weeks went past, the contestants toppled and those who kept their cool remained in the competition. Things started to heat up when the Shannons V8 Supercar was introduced. The remaining contestants were driving at 10/10ths in order to stay in the competition, which resulted in the inevitable – plenty of “off-track” action! With Samantha out of the running, last week the boys thou…

Three contestants remaining, one week left. This is it for the Shannons Supercar Showdown! Samantha Reid’s appearance was short lived as she was eliminated last week on the Shannons Supercar Showdown. Only three contestants remain, with the young gun still in the running to win this year’s competition! It’s Australia VS New Zealand and the battle is going to be fierce. The first elimination task is a simulated race. The contestants are starting to find their way around the Shannons / carsales.com.au V8 Supercar and beginning to feel confident behind the wheel of the 600 horsepower brute. The Kelly brothers will be expecting the three to be able …

Hi all, so I'm going on holidays as we speak. Currently in Malaysia waiting for my connecting flight to Bali. Just wondering if anyone has been there before and knows of anything fun to do? Thinking of going a bit nuts. Wanna go white water rafting. Also thinking of getting a tat, but a bit unsure about their cleanliness. Any ideas welcome :) Thanks, JiP

Last week not only saw the contestants from the Shannons Supercar Showdown pilot a V8 Supercar, but it also saw them being introduced to a rather familiar face… The bombshell that was dropped at the end of last week’s episode was a big one. A contestant from series one, all round sweetheart Samantha Reid, had been invited to join the remaining three to compete for the spot in the Kelly Racing V8 Supercar. The more the merrier, right! The reward challenge was held at a fitting venue – A car museum. The remaining contestants got time to have a look at the rare old metal on display, clearing their minds before the reward challenge. What is the task? Simple …

With week 7 now gone, and a shock double-elimination taking two contestants out of the running, only three people remain in the Shannons Supercar Showdown! This week’s reward challenge focuses on reaction time, and the ability to process visual information. V8 Supercar drivers need keen eyes in order to spot potential collisions, obstacles, and be able to react quick enough to avoid disaster. The last three have to test their skills on a state of the art reaction tester. Not just once however, but twice. After they’ve completed the first task on the reaction tester, the competitor has to take part in a quick exercise circuit before heading back to the ma…

With only a handful of contestants remaining, we're reaching the back straight of the Shannons Supercar Showdown! After last weeks reward challenge involving the spoken word, this weeks challenge had to change things up a little. The contestants headed to famous Sandown Raceway where they were to partake in a more motorsport related task this week. But, it's not a typical circuit style layout... It's a straight line! The remaining few will need to stage at the line and launch a Renault Megane RS250s over the eighth mile. Reaction times and the ability to launch a vehicle are key factors which will determine who comes out on top. Both of these aspects are…

G'day guys. Just looking to hear from anyone who's used or heard about these sandblasting kits for air compressors? Mostly just wanting your opinion, What kinda stuff i can do with it and what sorta compressor would be ideal? Also what can you put through them? Does it have to be the powder stuff or can you use like baking soda? I mean for the $50~ I'm not expecting a heap, but mostly i want to do my wheels, engine parts and stuff like that. I have a reasonable compressor, Decent size but i don't want to overload it and have it die.. So yeah, Any details or anything is ideal! Cheers

The guys down at Shannons and Renault have come together to organize one killer prize for a lucky enthusiast – the keys to a brand new Renault Megane RS250 Cup!

The first three weeks of the Shannons Supercar Showdown have been intense. And the fourth week was no different! Last week saw an elimination task involving the contestants battling it out on serious business, Arrow race go-karts. Sarah sadly didn’t achieve up to standards, and was well wished home by her fellow competitors. This week, things have heated up a little more. With a racing icon on the judging panel for week fours elimination challenge, how will everyone perform under his watchful eye? Interested to know who it is? Well you just have to watch the episode! (Video can be found below) Week fours challenge focuses on driver changing – the art…
