Anyone here watch Anime? Other than Bunta's tofu racing prodigy? I've started watching Bleach again and man is it good. Still got 290 episodes to go though... What Anime are you watching (if any) RC??

So i'm just wondering what's out there.. Because for every legit car part, I'm sure there's atleast 3 shonky knock off's and flogged off on ebay. So if you have any you know of that deserve to be here, Post them up. Okay this one made me cringe.. At first glance you can tell it's not legit, But take another look at those bolt holes :S

:ninja: -Ok, today i went to the wreckers. Its my third time there and i'm walking along when all of a sudden i see a giant black cow come out from between two cars?? WTF?? It scared the shit out of me. Plus i've never been around a cow before so I ran. Then i came back later to take photos. I then realised that, that was the reason that there is massive cow pies everywhere. (Luckily I haven't stood it one....Yet) When i went to the checkout and asked about their weird guard dog, they told me they had 3?? Any who. Who can top it?? Jon.

This has nothing to do with corollas, but I can't find any website or person who comes up with any reason apart from them being cool or being needed to carry shit in the back. Why buy a ute? I know its an Aussie thing *cough cough BOGAN cough* but surely there is some reason. Anyone know? MalOO00oooo...

Love him or hate him, he did an awesome job of handling the media 8/ I heard on the radio that hes been offered a job by a party promotion business! :jamie: Youtube link

I wonder how I found this page? Laa lalalalalalalalaaa... I am a wookie. Brrrm, brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrmmm. Have you ever made brrm brrm noises underwater? Hmm! Grass is green, cherries are red and the world goes round, so what am I talking about now? The cows go moo, they stand around looking silly and go munch munch munch munch. I wonder if they can taste the grass they eat? cause wouldn't it be pointless, since a) grass doesn't taste that good and b) if all you ever eat is grass then it all tastes the same. maybe different sorts of grass taste different. Do you think it would taste different after the rain? Cows don't seem to mind getting wet, th…

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.

Hey, just wondering if anyone else is having issues with uploading pictures?? Its happened multiple times lately. Each time I upload pictures I usually go to attach them into my post. I then go to preview and when I do the attachment in my post is still there but the uploaded picture isn't. So I have to reupload them and re attach them. It seems to work second time around. Anyone else experiencing this??

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. …

Now, assuming you all remember the horror that Ash Wednesday brought to Melbourne in the summer of 1983, then brace yourselves... Victoria is on fire all over the state, i am not sure on all details, however there are 40 confirmed dead, places such as Bunyip, Kinglake, Healseveale, Marysville, Alexandra, etc are ablaze. Living so close (Croydon) is frightening. With containment lines broken by 12pm this afternoon, the fires have raged in the heat, with many areas of Victoria reaching almost 50*C and winds reaching 80-90km/h the battle has been treacherous to say the least. May our thoughts be with those who are affected by this terrifying barricade of flames a…

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…

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

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…

Well, I thought I'd spawn a new thread to post this. We are having to work at some bodgie places lately. Here is the latest... This is a 1960's block of units. They bought the block of 6 for $1.5 Million. They ripped out 4 of 6 undercover basement car parks and turned them into 2 more units. (Now totaling 8) They have dug out the front yard and built an area for 5 parks. So that's 2 original basement parks + 5 new ones totaling 7, while there is 8 units?? The upper floors have many many holes punched into the ceiling. One would think that we would need to resheet the whole thing, but no, just patch. Each unit may have upto 10 holes in its ceiling. They remove…

My rant. I'm sick of early classic corollas of the KE10 and 20 varieties particularly, being advertised as "would be great for drifting" Let's look at the validity of this statement... KE20 wheelbase is slightly longer than a KP60 Starlet... Are they good for drifting? No... They are very twitchy, due to the wheelbase being so short. Yes, I have seen one drift, and no, it wasn't cool. It looked bloody awful. In a motorsport where scoring is based on a particular style, an early corolla is a woeful choice. The first two generations of corollas are also extremely light in comparison to other more commonplace drift cars. While some may consider that to be an advanta…

Don't vote till you read. I have noticed over the past week or 2 that it is as though this forum is dead, when I say dead I don't mean no members, I mean people coming on to use the tech or for sale section and that is it, where has all the club spirit where people used to socialise? even last few b'day threads I have posted go un-replied. I am actually looking forward to the xmas period in the hope we get more members that will be more active. Dunno about anyone else but I am on here everyday for numerous hours, this place has become a part of me.

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 …

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

So I got booked for speeding. Yes I'm going to lose my licence. I was just wondering if there's a way to appeal to get 1 point back or something. Even a temporary licence for work? Edit: Before you all ask. I was driving home from late night at TTP. Well I was driving to Mt Pleasant to drop my mate off. As I was coming through Gumeracha I was a bit restless and not looking at my speedo. I come past the oval and bang, there's the cop with his speed-gun. $310 on the spot fine. I was doing 71 in a 50 zone. Yes, I do know I'm an idiot.

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…

So what is the worst engine you can remember either owning or seeing? I meen, there a few lemons out there, so lets hear it. Mabye it was unreliable? or mabye it was just slow? I'm gonna kick this off by listing the 'Starfire engine'. They were found in early model Commodores, Coronas and verious other vehicles, I just bought a corona with a Starfire engine (more like a startfire!). Its by far the slowest smokiest peice of dog shit ive ever driven, and it has a timing chain rattle that would give off the impression that its had a hand full of washers dropped down each bore. Absolute rubbish! :jamie:
