Man, I wish we had Pontiac Fiero's and other cool cars from USA

>fiero
>"cool"

My cousin used to work for Holden and still gets a discount off of them. we're talking $10-15k off

Think I should go for one of the new commodores? they seem very feature packed.

I would be going for the base model if I were to go for it? sedan or wagon?

whatever you do, get a manual no matter what, you'll regret an automatic

the VF wagons look pretty bitching, one of the first wagons i actually like the look of, but the sedan looks great aswell, so its up to you sedan or wagon, it depends on what you'll use the car for

well reasons why I was thinking of a wagon was

I was originally looking at getting a jap hothatch

Long term seems handy as I plan on keeping this as long as possible and hopefully will be my only car purchase

less hoons will annoy me or want to Steal my daggy wagon

shorter in length

Fully loaded sv6 wagon sounds pretty gud to me

i believe the VF will retain alot of its value based solel on the fact its the last Australian RWD commodore, and having it manual will always keep the resale high

at the moment the VF isnt a hoon or bogan car, but it will eventually. But by that time theres going to be heaps of VF's at the scrap yards and the jap cars you wanted will be $500 and driven by neglectful car owners

The wagon is worth less than a sedan, always. but the wagon has good shit hauling space and not going to be as hooned out as a sedan so less bogans will hound you about owning a wagon. Its also better for towing than a jap car

what is your criteria anyway? what do you need it for? im obviously commodore biased but if its just an A to B get around its not worth it

>what is your criteria anyway? what do you need it for? im obviously commodore biased but if its just an A to B get around its not worth it

basically will be an a to b car that is a bit faster when need be

id most likely just be getting the evoke cos cheaper

not worth it unless your getting an SS
also the wagons don't come in manual

not worth what?

getting a wagon or a Commodore in general for a to b driving

do anyone of you have the fear of body roll? I had mine after powerslided on a ramp connects from one highway to another. Since then I'm just too afraid to corner hard, which makes me drive slow on mountain roads. How can I overcome this fear?
>getting another car is not an option yet

>good condition japspec 260z on gumtree for 9k
Someone buy it

It's about 3-4k overpriced

ive done it in v6 falcon
dont bother get an rsa and work bars, delivery is the worst thing you can do. when you factor in fuel, increased repairs youre often at less than 15/hr

>v6 falcon

by not being a pussy?

ah im tripping balls, all the v6 talk ITT.
AU falcon so I6. othertimes I'd have done it i a 4cyl fwd manual shittuboxu

Ohne ein idee OK?

Kek, I'm actually trying to sell an evoke. It's quite difficult finding a buyer because anyone who wants a cheap runaround settles for the omega instead.

the car that Im driving is not powerful enough. maybe switching tires will help?
not something that can be change that easily is it?

...

got my first car.

what cleaning products and tools do you guys recommend

like what detergent, mitts, shammy etc.

so far I have a pressure washer from Salvos which seems to work

cleaning tools? the generic fathers day bucket everywhere is selling atm should cover for a while.

tools, screwdriver set, allen key set, socket set.
even the cheap stuff lasts pretty well these days, replace or expand as needed

just rub your cum into your car with your hands

she'll be right

any particular brands or products for the mitts , shammy and detergent?

>what detergent
car soap. not dish soap. more expensive does not mean better.

>mitts
anything works. the less fancy it is, the better. keep it as clean as possible, don't let it touch the ground. a soft brush is even ok, as long as you keep it clean.

>shammy
it's chamois. use "the absorber" brand. cheap, available, works well. store slightly damp. keep it clean. don't let it touch the ground.

>I have a pressure washer
Overhyped, not required. can even do more harm than good. just be careful with it. high pressure water is not a direct replacement for just wiping by hand with soap.

My uncle had one that had been converted to rhd, they're around. He just thought it was "fucking shit"

i find just having a really big shammy convenient.
i use the big sponges you usually get in 3 packs, but im not really picky about how clean my car is aslong as its not filthy

how horrifying and beautiful

VS to VY V6 Commodore, possibly a NA MX-5 if you want something easy on the fuel pump.

Alright cunts, regarding yesterday's thread;

>If you were a bogan what three cars would you drive; one for "work", something to haul the family (or the lads) about in, and a project sitting in the front yard that never gets finished

>bogan
>owning both a ford AND holden
yeah nah you need to be culturally enriched cunt

We've already reached peak bogan, any other answer would be a compromise.

>We've already reached peak bogan

>heard an XR5T spooling before taking off

Beaut. They are such nice cars.

Man I'm salty I didn't buy that Crown Vic taxi for $3k a year or so back. I could've rented it for Thor. I'm looking at these clips on the news and shit and I recognise some of these vehicles from Sydney based companies.
I saw a 90's model in there too. Can you imagine that, hailing a cab and it's 25 years old. That was the reason I could have got this car so cheap, because the guy figured nobody would want taxis/cop cars that old.

Fuck man I remember telling you back then to buy it. If I were in Sydney I would have bought it in a heartbeat.

It's on the Gold Coast.
I was holding out because I wanted a black and white one and knew they're out there, and painting is fucking expensive. This particular company HAD a few in black and white but Movie World bought them up. Some of them were in San Andreas.

I was looking at some in Sydney years back that were in the Superman film. Would not surprise me if they were the ones in Thor. If they have one of those big New York blue/white buses, that's where it came from.

VK commodore project car, planning on putting in a 383 chevy stroker, just need to get it off defect for bold tyres, rust, frayed seat belts, weeping engine, stuffed suspension, electrics not working etc, it was a bargain when i bought it though, it was only $3500 from the 12th owner i met at the pub who told me his defected car was a bargain

there was a CL valiant a year ago that was a good solid runner with no rust for $1000 only up the road from me, im fucking beyond salty i didnt buy that at the time

i know your feel

Anyone here ever had a radiator professionally opened up and brushed clean?

Trying to get an idea on cost for a clean before calling around for quotes

I used to deliver pizzas in my MX5. $22/hr for an 18 year old wasn't bad

Speaking of this, what's probably the average wage for a 23 year old? I'm finally leaving the NEET life and found a job but I didn't want to be a cunt and discuss wages at the interview.

Depends on the job. I'm 24 now and Earn about ~$950 a week.

What job did you get

>a radiator professionally opened up and brushed clean
Jesus Christ wtf. I've never heard of such a thing.
Sounds like a nightmare. Maybe that's why everything gets replaced nowadays

apparently they pull the sides off and shove a long ass brush through each core, if I flush it out and it's still pumping shitty water around then it might be cheaper for a clean instead of a new radiator if that is what is dirty

Location is a big deal. And industry. I'd expect 30k a year minimum if full time.

its been 3 years so far and i still havent found a decently priced kingswood in my area

fuck boomers

Also the old bike got torn down, basic clean before getting it soda blasted and then painted.

>tfw no shed/garage

Protip for the kids playing at home, clean the inner ring of debris, the first cut should be .3mm, the second and final cut should be .2mm. You won't need another unless the run out is massive (but you should have replaced the rotor if its that bad).

Perfect rotors every time.

Im working with a single car garage at home now, i've got no room anymore.

Quick question, I asked this the other day but who cares

How hot can a iron block and head be before it's unsafe to run tap water through it?,

Not really sure man, The whole cold water fucking blocks thing though is something I've never seen and have only heard about it because a friend of someones friend once knew a guy who fucked his motor doing it.

Look at a radiator

so if I ran my engine to about a quarter way on the temp gauge I'd be right to pop the thermo and throw the hose down it? I don't want to turn and engine flush into an engine swap

Cold water and hot metal don't go hand in hand.
