American here. Did you guys have an era of shit cars starting in the 70s like us?
David Roberts
Nope. Our "smog era" cars didn't hit until 81, even through to the late 70ties you can pick up some pretty powerful muscle cars.
Matthew Foster
Looks like it has gone full circle
Josiah Garcia
>methylated spirits Chemical analyst and med student here, you ausies don't actually do this, r-right? user pls
Elijah Turner
We only drink the uncoloured stuff
Jaxon Howard
>uncolored means it's safe user pls, there are mixes with methanol in it, atleast, in Europistan there is.
Hunter Green
Uncoloured means it doesnt stain your lips, otherwise you do look like a metho drinking boong.
Chase Jones
Amerifat here have any of you Aussies had experience with a holden perentti? I wonder about how much like a vette they drive
Thomas Gutierrez
Considering they only made like 25 of them, I'd doubt that many people evn know they exist.
They had a HQ chassis, powered by a V8. I'd say it was like the vette in that it couldnt turn and went fast in a straight line
Brandon Wood
The "police" on here and trolling sean. LMAO. As if. Get a life cunt.
Nolan Ross
what did i do?
You already know i have no life hahaha
Lucas Green
/dat/ is dead
Connor Brooks

Jose Ortiz
Should I?
Owen Ramirez
Looking at e28s and minis atm. What do /dat/. have 2-7k for cool/interesting/fun/unique DD
Hunter Rodriguez

Lincoln Lopez
beetle probs
Isaac Wilson
Eh, beetle isnt a fun enough twisty machine.
Noah Wood
VP/VN SS. smash it in D for maximum respect.
James Scott
this is for you mate
Lucas Myers
Do you have to be a chemical analyst/med student to know that drinking methanol is fucked in the states? Real cunts drink 99.9% isopropyl anyway.
Oliver Wood
Wtf are you talking about. they cancelled the phase 4 because of the same bs
Hunter Anderson
Better off getting a life. My discord is pretty much dead.
Anthony Howard
Such is life.
I still don't have one
Aaron Bell
No, they cut the phase 4 because the media was scared about selling the average schmoe supercars. Smog era was because of emissions.
Ayden Martin
Ye this is why they didnt let the torana be sold with the 350 or w/e engine around the same time. It was a scare tactic run by media poofters, no different to today I guess.
Jayden Johnson
And the fuel shortage.
Dominic Perry
A discord with Falcunt on it being dead? Yeah no wonder
Nicholas Jenkins
Even though hes in it, no one really talks.
And I just noticed pingascunt left lol. bye then.
Jason Nelson
Discord is shit. Its just another hoop.to jump through so you can shitpost.
Jaxon Foster
psst hey kids wanna buy some dose?
Henry Miller
As opposed to chinkmoots broken captcha and retarded mods and ip vpn rangebans and mass data mining.
Discord was a good idea but terribly executed.
No server browser and centralization means similar communities are fragmented instead of being able to merge.
As for Veeky Forums and discord being shit u can't blame me I'm literally never on anymore just been lurking watching it all die while everyone blames me
Aaron Garcia
Looks like the gooks are going to take over the hoon-mobile segment for us. I personally am OK with this.
Isaac Cook
>while everyone blames me
who are you?
Jaxon Martinez
The falcon and commodore where objectively shit apart from the goat i6 Barra turbo.
Aussie V8 where over rated yank copies
At least the first gen zeta commodore chassis was great.
If we put a Barra in a new dunnydoor it would make a nice drift missile
Nathaniel Howard
It just looks like a rip off of Aston Martins, Lexus and BMW. Fuck Hyundai.
Alexander Adams
The fgx and vf2 where also ugly as fuck it's called design trends.
It looks ok apart from the front end
Camden Lee
metho is mostly ethanol funnily enough it will still make you sick
Robert Watson
Ofc "menthylated spirits" is mostly "spirits", but still usually like 10 - 20% pure methanol, which is a lot considering 100ml will kill you and much less will make you blind.
Jordan Phillips
do it
Ian Hernandez
>everyone is asleep already haha get a life nerds
Kayden Johnson
>chemical analyst/med student
I think you just mean simply med student.
Medical students think they have their doctorate and 20 years of practice under their belt as soon as they get the position in their school.
Lincoln Foster
daily reminder no one likes Australians and Steve Irwin is dead
Ayden Moore
>Steve Irwin is dead Thats usually the result when you go around poking australias animals with sticks.
James Scott
buy it user
Ryder Nguyen
lol facken un ironically this
Brody Reyes
Pretty sure the stuff that bloke is drinking is 95% ethanol and 5% water with shit in it to make it bitter. The MSDS sure doesn't mention methanol.
Brandon Scott
Drove down to Mandurah last night in my Integra type r, some madman in a bright red RX7 tears ass past me with no plates shooting flames.
I've never been so aroused.

I bought a new car in feb, I'm at 7306 km and I'm thinking of taking it in for the 7500km service, which is optional and would cost me $193 even though it's under warranty. Should I even bother with it?
Chase Bennett
What car?
>Not changing your own oil
Isaiah Taylor
Since it's still under warranty, you should do it. If anything went wrong with the car in the future the warranty people could blame you for not keeping up the service intervals you were told to do and not fix whatever went wrong.
Xavier Parker
Surely you didn't travel 7300km in 2 months.
Jacob Wilson
>tfw travel an average of 5000km every 2 months The mechanics face when I came in was priceless. He looked at my in silence for a moment and said "what are you doing man? nobody does this many kms around here" and I replied with "i drive". He didn't get the meme though.
Nathan Long
...
Liam Foster
Only 180km a day 5 days a week over 8 weeks, thats like 85km trip to work and back + some weekend supermarket shit, pretty reasonable if you live out of town and travel into the city to work
Michael Taylor
Lol. what car?
I'd travel less than 5k kms if i went to work and back. I could almost ride a pushbike to work but it takes 15-20 mins instead of 3 min by car, and i'm too lazy.
Adrian Mitchell

are manual conversions hard in falcons?
im looking at an au for $350 thats an auto, and the cheapest manual falcon that isnt a 4 speed is $1500.
im going to buy it for skids but does a manual make the tyres smoke up any better than an auto?
cheers
Michael Hernandez
no point. in that price range it's easier to buy the thing you want instead of converting it.
Wyatt Lewis
not exactly. its unlikely the autos have been redlined every day of their lives like the manuals, so putting a manual in an auto is a good idea.
Chase Ortiz
How competitive are traineeships in Melbourne? I realise now that university is a mistake and I'd rather live happily doing a trade. I've applied for spare parts traineeships around the place but I'm not sure if I should keep firing out resumes
Levi Anderson
For reference I'm 21 and exmilitary with 6 years experience at other workplaces and pretty bogan
Jaxon Reyes
It's not worth it. It's a fucking AU for one, two it's a $500 car. Buy a manual excel and stfu. AUs are complete garbage.
jimmies mr2 has been on sale 6 times in the last two years. what the fuck is going on? how is it still being sold again and again?
Aiden Turner
I did gap year
Jose Gonzalez
>one idiot buys it >realizes they fucked up and its shit >pawn it off to the next idiot >cycle continues
That MR2 is doomed to make its rounds through every moron in that state.
Michael Thomas
idk if that matters because the car would be hitting the limiter for the rest of its life
true, but for a grand prolly easier to keep it auto and skid it as it is
Sebastian Rivera
>AUs are complete garbage. >Buy a excel
Adrian Gray
this
Cameron Harris
Lucky you. When I tried to do that they cancelled it and tried to sign me up for a career.
for 1k you could buy an au and skid it yes, but converting it to manual is pointless and a waste of $.
Excels are more reliable than AUs. Ask falcunt, aka AU expert
Grayson Smith
yeah thats what im saying, especially if it will never see a road legally again.
heaps of falcons hit >300k easily, my dad has owned three that have accomplished this. if youre buying a skid car an excel does not stand up against a falcon in any way
Matthew Scott
Auto will skid just as good as manual, chuck it in 1 and go.
Cooper Cooper
are buddyclub wheels a rep brand simmilar to rota?
i have a set of rota grid looking wheels on my mx5, wondering out of curiosity
Carson Lewis
I am being charged $1400 dollars for a replacement set of 2 keys for an XR5 Mondeo. What should I do?
Matthew Smith
tell them to get fucked and go to a different locksmith
Ethan Turner
Nah buddyclub is legit
Justin Perry
I rang up the dealership and asked them if it's realistically important to get done and tried to level with the guy about it and he said it won't affect the service interval I should have it serviced by. There's also a sticker on the corner of my windshield that I should have it serviced at 15,000 km or on the 5/10/17 (which ever comes first)
