  1. it really depends what you listen to, music within a specific genre is all similar, that's what a genre is, but when you get into it, it can be widely varied as for marshall mathers, this guy says it better than i ever could http://umfm.net/city/threads.php?threadid=6162
  2. 1g-gte. fits in ke30-onwards engine bay without firewall mods goes like stink but makes the front a bit heavy for cornering
  3. faaaark seriously? got any floating around work? i could use up that 60 dollar credit i have :lmao:
  4. i found imesh to be annoying, it's very system invasive and full of spyware
  5. i love hiphop eminem is a great artist
  6. all i see is money
  7. search for "teen" or "redhead" or "lolita" in the video parts. fark :lmao:
  8. www.limewire.com www.aresgalaxy.org download the programs on each of them
  9. YAY MICK!!! :lmao:
  10. maybe, maybe not, i have no idea
  11. they irritate the absolute crap out of me, their music is so annoying, they're one of the VERY few bands who i turn off if they come on the radio
  12. a million and 1 things can change in 10 months, i'd be organising it closer to then
  13. they all are you'll be able to tell what pistons you have by unscrewing a spark plug and messing around with a torch and maybe something to feel around with use a non metallic object, something like a pen or pencil or the handle of a skinny paintbrush
  14. they're long-nose plugs to suit the combustion chamber design. regular plugs are too shrouded
  15. in all honesty, we got halfway there and stopped. it was an annoying car to do stuff like that in, the squeaking of the leaves was very off-putting :lmao:
  16. good point that my mate matt reckons he could hear the doors hitting the frames in his vs commodore. they don't really have a chassis to speak of either, they're like a big ke30, but worse
  17. it's something we all consider at some point most dedicated racecars with road rego are not nice to drive around in, high diff ratios and lack of sound deadening, exhaust noise, rattles, etc etc. nor really useful in any way, the back being dominated by cage and perhaps nets to keep the helmets in, the boot housing the spare tyre (mounted specifically for quick release) and fuel system, so there's no room for your shopping either! as much as i would have loved to get that serious with my ke25, and i would have one day, it was nice in the meantime to be able to drive around and have carpet and a stereo and little comfort stuff. and carry carloads of drunk people from parties to the pub and what not. and root on the back seat :lmao:
  18. then as long as you're not modifying anything to do with the structural rigidity of the car (such cutting into chassis rails or pillars) or safety (such as modifying the seatbelt mount points) then i don't see it would be a problem i don't really see that it would be much use either. a bolt in cage like that would need alot of reinforcement around the floor area to provide any noticeable flex resistance, and to have one properly designed to be collapsible and removable would cost alot of money, more than just a weld in cage. i also wonder if the sideplay due to the gaps in the boltholes would make it a total waste of time altogether? if you want to pose and look like a fully sick hardcore japanese d1 drifter guy, knock some pvc pipe up and paint it with metallic spraycans, there's your rollcage. if you want a car with improved rollover protection and integral chassis strength, sacrifice your backseat to the driving gods and buy a daily shitbox to carry people around in basically, a cage isn't intended to be a small bolt-in mod. if it was me, i'd either do it properly, or not at all
  19. HAHAHA!!! :lmao: that was a good call :sigh:
  20. going on with the topic, at what point does one "need" a strut brace then? driving around on the street, no. a bit of spirited mountain driving for enjoyment, perhaps. i'd say if one was getting into amateur level motorsport or weekend sprints or something where you're trying to improve the car and measure the difference you make, then that's reasonable to say a properly constructed strut brace could be of noticeable benefit
  21. yes, you're driving the car around in a specification that differs from the engineering cert agreed :lmao:
  22. last engineer i spoke to about a cage said as long as there was "sufficient head room and padding", i could keep the back seat in that being said, such a "cage" would just be a rollover bar and two legs that follow the roofline back to the parcel shelf or seatbelt mounting points, and would be of limited real use, so i didn't bother basically, the idea is this - if you're getting that serious about your car that you fell you need a triangulated rollcage, you're also getting that serious about racing it that the car is becoming a purpose built machine, not a useful and adaptable daily driver, and you can choose one passenger/navigator to ride in the other racing seat, not cruise around with 5 mates in the back anymore
  23. does on a starlet, shrug
  24. great idea. then you can end up with guards that look like some kind of deformed dodecahedron
  25. matt's ke70 shell did over 760,000km 3 engines, 3 gearboxes, 2 diffs
