Fail.

Nothing shameful dude... this is inspirational stuff. If, of course, you have absolute shit tins of cash to throw at a car. For those of us that don't.... well... um... actually yeah it is kinda shameful. Dammit... someone give me 100k and a small crew of ridiculously talented automotive engineers.

Yeah my brain is supposedly broken as well... but I don't think its effect effect effect effect effect effect effect effect effect effect effect effect effected me at all

120y = sexiest car ever made

Dear sweet merciful christ

I've had good luck with the command systems before... and installation is generally pretty easy. The electrical side of things is quite simple, just running a few wires and splicing into the loom in a couple of places. The instruction manual is quite easy to understand. The only *relatively* complicated bits are adding the extra linkage onto your existing throttle wheel, mounting the vacuum actuator, and the little speed sensor which attaches to your strut tube and the magnet on the inside of the wheel rim. Once again thought the instructions are pretty good. Good luck :hammer:

There are a few variables: What did you hit What part of the car did you hit it with How hard did you hit it Answer me these questions three... and I shall divulge the knowledge for which you seek

Ah yeah... you see... I was thinking more along the lines of a full tube frame front end to hang the panels off, and removing the donor body's tunnel altogether until it was mounted on the chassis... and then fabricating to suit. Shit son, no point doing these things by halves :D

Good stuff. Myself I'd prefer to steer away from those Vitara engines... I've not heard of them being the most reliable unit. You'll want something light, torquey, and relatively small capacity... perhaps a 1GGTE or a dirty Nissan RB20? Cheap and cheerful, relatively bulletproof... or if you can get away with it, a VL commie RB30 and auto :D Cheap, plentiful, BULK torque ;)

Yup... they're using everything now, and not just brand new cars either... There's a few utes up here, along with a previous gen Golf, Subaru Liberty, Magna Verada... They had an R8 Clubby too but they crashed that chasing an R33 a couple of months ago.

I'll be watching this veeeery closely... I too have a LWB zook sitting around waiting for inspiration :D What engine did the zook have originally? I ask only because if it was the mighty one litre F10A, it will very likely have the smaller axles which are prone to breaking. The beauty of this chassis is the unlimited options you have for engine transplants... all you have to do is drop in an engine and GB of your choice, weld up the mounts, and get a custom jackshaft to go to the T/case! Simplicity itself ;)

I wouldn't exactly say 'based on'... more 'copied the idea'. I don't believe Nissan/Datsun and Toyota have never collaborated on any sort of badge engineering.

Its kinda like douchebags who put stickers all over their cars. Why would you PAY for the privilege of advertising someone's product? You've already given them enough business by buying whatever cheap chinese chrome piece of shit caught your eye on the shelf at Autobarn... I especially like the car audio stickers. The ones that scream "I have a big stereo: you should break this window and steal it"

Well the trick is to only ever pay for stuff with notes, and never spend the coinage you get as change. (except on parking meters) its a pretty good method of compulsory saving... I usually accumulate close to a grand every 6 months

Nice find :dance: Where abouts are you... do they run a 24 hours of Le-mons around there somewhere? Because this is an awesome candidate :)

which accumulates in the ashtray, and then you empty that ashtray every week into a bigger receptacle, and then every 6 months or so, you take that receptacle down to the bank, let them put it through their coin counting machine... And then buy some flights to Japan. :dance:

Visa Debit FTW No debt, same convenience... mind you I only use it when I'm overseas. Day to day, I'm all about cash. Nothing like a big wad of the real folding stuff to get someone's juices flowing when it comes time to make a deal...

With a vague, lazy, dumbarse post like that, you're lucky you got a reply at all, let alone one like the above, which made you look like a tool. Also, is it terribly difficult for you to use slightly more coherent grammar? Txt speak doesn't make you look cool on a forum... it makes you look like you're extremely lazy or you were too busy playing with your knob the day they taught english at your school. Or both. Give it a go... it will make your stay more enjoyable and your questions more likely to be answered.

I've found (after exhaustive alcohol fueled late arvo/early evening research) that a hockey stick is a MUCH more effective launch device. See, drivers are good... but if you get your angles wrong, your warty projectile can sometimes disintegrate and become significantly less aerodynamic. A hockey stick is more dynamically forgiving (for novice toad thwackers) and has a larger surface area, thus spreading the initial impact load over more of the projectile. There is a *slight* reduction in flight distance compared to the driver, but more consistency, and the potential for multiple FPV. (Flights Per Victim) Drivers should only be used by those a bit more experienced. I recommend a 3 wood. NOW When you get reeeeaaaally tricky, you can attempt the 'Combo Powerthwack.' This will require 2 people, a chipping wedge, a cricket bat, and talent. The technique is for the 'chipper' to locate and stun the projectile by giving it just a wee love tap on its warty noggin. The 'batsman' will then position himself approximately 3 metres away from the victim, in proper positioning as one would be when on the receiving end of the cricket pitch. The 'chipper' then sends the victim to the batsman, preferably at about knee-height. Amazing distances have been achieved through this method, but I do stress it is NOT to be attempted by those less experienced. Bad things can happen... Very Bad Things. :dance:

Yes, Its illegal to transport them by any means, anywhere, unless its directly to a council 'disposal point' Don't worry, they'll make their way to SA soon enough :dance:

I'm so hip I have trouble seeing over my own pelvis

quiet you metalperson... I'm so Gangsta, Dr Dre rings me up for permission to take a shit.

Uncle Shady y'all and I think this thread's ghey Gimme the mic Ted so I can take it away Got more lines than a centrelink office Are you upset you'll never get to be as clever as this? Spreadin' quicker than your mum have a feel but don't cop it Yeah I stole your beat but that's cause you dropped it Crude as oil unrefined but slick I'm gonna get you from behind like a gay convict Cause my name ain't Quasimodo but I still got a hunch Like Muhammad Ali I'll take you out with one punch You're the little George Bush and I'm the Dick you answer to You're sweating like a watermelon at a summer BBQ Sneaking up like celery yeah I'm stalking I squeak like Stephen Hawking yeah but I'm walking Nose to ground so this dog will sniff and follow it I hope you choke on your pride when I make you swallow it Screaming like a schoolgirl when you see me coming near you Like a Lady GaGa record only bitches gunna hear you Like a game of hide and seek it's all over if I see ya Cause your yellower than tinkle and you'll be running like diarrhea

My brother is a public servant... He gets TOLD to take his sick days off. Go figure.

Geez you must get some looks punting that thing around... I mean last time I was in the UK it was just an endless sea of Fiestas, Golfs, Metros, and 3 series beemers... Must feel nice to be different!
