    What do you guys think of Mitsubishi FTO's?

    i second your motion :D having driven an auto (and it is steptronic) and having seen what it can outrun, i'd say go fer it. though i have seen a GPX model around syd west for sale at about 12K which was in good enough condition and already had 17s on it, so you might have to take a look at the...

    lowering car

    wait, the plastic spinners that you stick on your steel wheels are illegal? cos there is a car in auburn that drives past the police station every morning with them.... maybe its cos the driver is fairly old :rolleyes:

    Those Magnetic Number Plates

    most petrol stations sell them. i have heard that they can ruin your paintjob too, but i dont remember it happening to someone i know. but you need to be careful that the plates you get have a strong magnetic force, so that they dont fall off if you are going fast, otherwise the wind will peel...

    best car for under $5k

    ... was that @ me? cos i certainly wasnt talking about an evo, and where you derived that 10k used car spending limit= 60k Evo is beyond my understanding. for comfort/luxury i would chop my tongue off and not say evo, but for power, control and speed i would chop my tongue off for anything BUT evo.

    lowering car

    maybe he is asking on a HSC forum because we have a section dedicated to cars/enthusiasts? you wouldnt know yet cos youre new >.> and yeah, if you already "upgraded" it to 17s, there is a large chance that 19s on it will be a defect, because you wouldnt be able to find a low enough profile to...

    Cops call me for speeding?

    ... that would be a baaaaad idea 29er. the last thing you would want is for your mate's house number to come up. and you didnt know it was your friend because obviously they arent going to tell you it was them, and obviously they are going to milk the shit out of you if they realise you think it...

    best car for under $5k

    lancers round the 1995 model have a market value around the 5K mark. of course, you're looking at mileage of 150-200K on em (heck, my 97 is climbing to the 300K mark- obviously an ex-work car) but they are 1.5L and perform better than quite a few stock cars of their year. and the smaller engine...

    RTA: How do speed cameras work?

    i think there are a few in a line, and it calculates how fast you cross over each one and calculates it along with the distance between the sensors to determine how fast you were going over it. or at least that is how i always figured it worked. simple velocity formula :) its funny though how...

    RTA: Increased penalties for school zones from 21 May 2007

    i'd say that too until it was my child on the floor. then i'd be blaming the hoon that was behind the wheel (of course i'd be too old to realise that i would have hit the kid if i was driving :D)

    RTA: How do speed cameras work?

    the thing about it catching both ways of traffic is total bull. i know because i've tested it out a few times. you can basically tell from where the "markers" in the ground are placed. usually they are only visible on the side coming from behind the camera, so there isno way that it can detect...

    Are supras good?

    yeah, if youre saving up for a supra and it is taking a while, then it will be garaged for quite a while too while you save up for its repairs and shiz.

    Taking the turbo out of a Skyline GTST?

    yeah, putting on a turbo isnt a good idea unless you forge the pistons and lower their compression ratio (if they are high. you can keep it high but you will always have maximum boost, so you cant redline it too much) and to take a turbo off you will need to raise the compression ratio...

    Most ANNOYING things when Driving

    whoa, flying planks ftl... got a 4WD behind me a while ag flashing his lights at me. at first i thought i knew who it was (and it turns out i did), but he kept on blazing me, so i pulled to the side since i didnt want to speed away- too many intersections ahead XD- so i pulled to the side and...

    car audio problem

    the loud option isnt part of the EQ, its a seperate thing. and EQ is only for those that dont know what the trbl/bass should be, so they see pop and they think "yeah, Britney's song is pop!" and change the EQ to pop. i have the normal settings to 0 bass/trbl so that if i want to listen to...
