that hasn't stopped Holden from release Commodores with bigger and bigger engine outputs.
Haha that's the point my cousins raised when they came for a tour here- one cannot ever truly make use of their car's potential in normal (legal) driving. They were so surprised that CC is in abundance here and that 'anybody' can go out and buy a V8 car with heaps of kW- whereas in M'sia road tax is dependent on the size of your engine (eg. our V12 costs over $20k per year just to keep it rego'd), and speeding penalties can be bribed away (although depending on the car you drive- the cops accept different amounts; talk about price discrimination!).

Don't forget when you go to uni- you probably won't wanna drive your nice car there.
I don't think you should even bother driving Civic to your uni since petrol and parking is a shocker.

I drive my car to uni everyday (10kms each way).. so far no problems.. but my friend isn't as lucky.. he drives a prelude and someone went too far forwards and jammed up his rear, now his rear bumper is a tad lopsided.. I think someone doorjammed him once.. and elsewhere, someone put something on his rear (supposedly a bag), then dragged it across his boot lid........... now he has what resembles skid marks on his boot lid.......

i think the Type S is still much heavier than the original Type which is why it needs the extra kws to make up for it.
Also with the new type S they dont have that huge wing. The problem with that wing is going at high speeds it puts downforce on the car slowing it down.

Heh yeah, my aunty has the Acura RSX overseas.. but I never been in a Honda Type S.. so, is it the same thing without the same badge?

Reminds me of the Lexus SC300 badging of the Soarer..

No qualms. I turned 18 in April. There are a couple of people my age in my class. There is one who turned 18 last year!!! *me thinks she was dumb and repeated*
Hah.. I'm yet to turn 18.. and I'm in first year uni.. so I guess I was generalising your situation in respect to mine.. I could of made the cut-off, but my mum thought I was too incompetent to pass.. but later on she realised how dangerous having L plates is (as in, other people treat you like shit), so I got my Ps before my HSC =.= Lame. Now I can't legally drive those on the prohibited list....... not like I'd get a chance to anyway =]

I wish I could get an IS300. It's way out of my price range, enough to make it a dream car.

A Valiant charger? Geez... extractors need to be imported from the US, or custom. Custom can run you up $1k-$3k for a nice ceramic coated header. A 3 inch exhaust will cost you several hundred (with mufflers and everything).
Import from the US hey.... you fucking idiot, at an estimate there is a bout 12573 valiants in australia that came with the 215 slant six, go on to diffilipo exhausts website.

Bart you are not putting neons in the charger, it is not even road worthy yet, you drive your mums lancer...... dont forget it, you race grandma and they beat you
remeber that undercover cop you tried to race in the lancer!!!!
dickheads!!

Oh.. were you talking about cameron burnes.. you highlighted petar13's quote, thought you were going off at him for just stating how much the parts cost BWAHAHAHAHAHA

Oh well, who cares if he's lying... if it makes him feel better............................

And not like he comes here often anyway, if anything, it just seems like that was a hoax account.... anyways, end of that...
