  1. P plate means a provisional driver when you are 16 here, you can get your Ls or learner license, and you need to have a licensed driver with you on the road, and you can only do 80km/h max. after a year you can get your Ps, or provisional license, you can drive on your own up to a max of 90km/h. in this state, after a year of that you can get your P2s, and you can drive on your own and can do 100km/h max. after you're 21, you're able to get your full open license the law is a good idea. sorry, but you're not even 20 yet, you have no idea how to handle something with that sort of power to weight ratio. nor do most people on the road for that matter, but you're inexperienced so the danger is compounded true, it doesn't stop people driving dangerously in shitbox cars, which is mostly what P platers own because they're cheap, but i can see it saving at least one life, so it's worth it this is obviously reactionary politics to the recent spate of young people dying in high powered cars, it's a visible change which can be implemented quickly, even if it only solves 5% of the problem. but that's the government for you. what we really need is more driver education, so ALL drivers get better, but this is a topic we've covered before look at it this way, you've got 3 years to practice driving a car, exploring the limits of its (an your) handling capabilities without an amount of power or speed which will more than likely put you in a supercharged coffin and you've got more money to spend on suspension modifications to make your car more enjoyable to drive
  2. thats about normal for an XE innit? take the old 250 crossflow out and put a proper engine in there :P seriously, the usual. do a compression test on your engine to make sure you're not feeding fuel to a dead engine, rebuild the carby maybe, check all your fuel lines aren't split and leaking, etc etc
  3. gtechs are only like 80 bucks on ebay now :P
  4. THAT IS SO GOOD!!! :P polystyrene, the OTHER breakable furniture! :P
  5. you can swap the high beam and low beam circuits (they're just two wires each) to see if it really is the relay causing the problem i had the same problem a while back in the ke25, and it was a broken join in the wire going to the low beam circuit. diagnosed by jiggling the wiring loom
  6. it's a "stop asking the same question over and over again when we've already given you the answer" forum :P
  7. r31 limos are crap. your options are either a shortened T series and change the stud pattern on the front to match, and that will do you up to 200fwhp. any more, get a hilux diff shortened, then either re-stud the axles for your stud pattern, or put hilux/falcon suspension in the front, or get custom front hubs made to suit 5 stud wheels all round
  8. rock on, all the cool birthdays are in july :P
  9. last year the govt bailed mistubishi australia out to the tune of several million dollars because they couldn't afford to keep going. the govt would rather lose a few bucks straight up than have tens of thousands of aussies out of a job and have to pay them the dole, especially considering most of them are probably unemployable due to age and our general job availability situation that's how mitsubishi survive
  10. wow, at the front wheels that would be good for something like a 35 second quarter mile :P
  11. and there is a 4k-e or -u head which has tuliped exhaust valves, however the seat is the same size as all the others
  12. not a bad way to spend 10 thousand dollars
  13. custom billet 2.5L bottom end with twincam crossflow head :P
  14. replace it with a 4ag :P
  15. quality aside, mitsubishi cars are just a pain in the ass to work on, i've seen it happen to family and friends before. every model has about 3 for 4 variants, of which there is no way AT ALL to tell what's what, and often you'll order a very expensive part in (or get something from the wreckers) only to find it doesn't fit your car, even though the listing says it does. and there are probably 2 or 3 other parts you can get which have the same description and application but different part numbers, and are totally different things
  16. just move to new zealand for a year, get one over there, and bring it back as a persona import :P
  17. Volvo owner syndrome All "car trips" to be considered a tourist event for all involved including the driver. BAHAHAHAHHA!!! all of it is true, that's so f@$king funny :P :P
  18. ruts passes his maths exam :P a big mac has 505 calories, 26g fat, 42g carbs, 26g protein and 845Mg sodium a royale wi cheese has 540 calories, 29g fat, 36g carbs, 33g protein and 1220Mg sodium
  19. i want to see rwd 4g63. if jett racing can do it, we can do it too!
  20. calories per second? haha, how about big macs per minute? :P (in which case your car does 3550, but only 3320 quarter pounders with cheese)
  21. this will be interesting to get the inside scoop on
  22. matt took the exhaust off his dad's old corona to keep as a spare, i was stuffing around with a screwdriver in the keybarrel and started it. TRACTOR RACING TEAM :P
