Fuck off.
thanks for the free bump
I feel like I need a ute, would a ve ss be worth it over a vz ss? otherwise what ute could i make turn nice? obviously dont really like the sound of the ls1 either.
no one needs a ute
buy a fucking hilux or kys
Yeah nah, they're fun but.
Get a maloo
>Get a maloo
t. bogan
Who doesnt enjoy v8s?
Kingswood or early commodore. Everything else is pigfat
yeah, the 5.7 is pretty long in the tooth and the ve-vf has a better chassis platform (stronger)
if you can get a 6.0 for cheap it should be good
faggots (formerly ashee)
>maloo = v8
kek
Did they make a v6 Maloo?
people who want to go past 6krpm
They made a V6 coupe
>v6 Monaro is hsv
>coupe is a maloo
Stop posting
Then you buy an alloytec
(7800rpm redline)
>rev to 8k
>still making less power than ls at 3k
Fuck Maloos, absolutely not worth the price hike over an SSV
Whats a fast, yet practical car? My hatchback is practical but not fast.
Mazda 3 MPS.
I did think about one of these. I cant find one in the colour I want though.
Am I a lazy millennial for expecting to actually be able to take time off work?
Its modern days. No one wants to work, everyone needs to enjoy their life. Take time off and enjoy life.
4th gen Subaru Liberty with either the 3.0L flat six or 2L turbo flat four.
Golf.
Na you're on the right track. Whats the point of busting your ass trying to make money if you can't enjoy anything. Work hard, play hard.
Focus ST/RS
Golf R
its the same fucking car you moron
Bugeye WRX wagon.
Unironically recommending an alloytec
LS fags btfo
The thread's fine. Discord can die in a hole.
Yeah, you really should stop posting moron.
Get the 2L turbo, a lot more potential for modification than the 6 cylinder. They're a great car and it corners a lot better than my old VX commodore.
Just keep in the mind the fuel economy on a 4th gen liberty is terrible, I've got the 2L turbo and mixed driving I still average over 13L/100km, and I have to run it on 98.
why not dat anymore?
because /dat/ needed to die, it had a bad rep. Starting fresh with a new general will help us.
>a ute is the same as a coupe
Oh wow. Plz don't tell my insurer.
wrong.
3rd gen liberty with the twin turbo flat flour.
Well yeah. My VE omega is basically the same as a GTS-R W1
yea, they are both shit LOL
Hurhurhurhurhurhhehehheheueheuehe
ok busrider
dat was good
fuck off hsp stop trying to change the name
>hsp
It's not HSP doing it, /dat/ has been shit since discord took over so a fresh start is needed since discord is ded.
>mfw a bus is more reliable than a v6 omega
mfw ve omegas are only unreliable if your a women or a p plater that doesnt properly maintain their car
>there are Australians right now who have never owned or driven a commodore/Falcon
I’ve driven two vys and they handle like shitty boats. I’d still like a vk or a vl
As long as the shardie Getz boy and Falcuck are about these threads are going to continue to be shit. Discord shilling and shit advice that should be ignored for half the posts till it either 404s or hits the bump limit.
Holy shit i cant belive someone is still using the shard meme about me kek its been a while
fuck off hsp, nobody else would use capitals for his name
I own a vz ss thunder
The ve drives like a sedan wheras the vz drives like a boat
But I love that fucking boat
Best bikkie comin thru
VE and beyond is when the handling got good
You fuckin wish. These are the best, with lemon crisps a close second.
>run it on 98
Do turbo Subaru's need 98 when stock or is that just if you tune it for 98?
VZ handle well with a few simple mods
anything with a turbo should be ran on 98 lol, they can run lower octane but you'll get knock if you boost it too hard for too long.
got one of these for 12k with 35,000kms. should be a decent enough daily
1989 VN commodore in white ex BT1 cop chip and dat wit interceptors and 3.8 mangotec straight thru 3 inch zorst hollowed out mafflers goes 9s uleh
>not $1 custard creams from coles
Rich cunt
Pics. That’s not bad at all for that mileage.
they have soft shit suspension from the factory what do you expect? holy fuck people on this board are dumb.
>vk/vl
Worst commodores, wet noodle chassis and overvalued by every bogan boomer p plate teenager full of rust and absolutely handle like shit fold like tin cans in a crash even at low speed
kindly end yourself
we barely come on, piss off boogeyposter if its not us then its always someone else
i cant get over how they look but sure go for it.
vt-vz same chassis/suspention they handle aight but will always be seen as heavy boats despite being lighter than the falcons especially the falcon utes which are heavy as fuck

Comparing to an even worse platform doesn't excuse it.

>Comparing to an even worse platform doesn't excuse it.
>durrr heavy = bad
the R35 GTR has been blowing this idea out of the water for what 11 years at this point?
All you need to counteract heavy chassis is the following
>50/50 weight distro or as close as you can
>WIDE tyres with lots of grip (talking 265+)
>Decent suspension, coilovers are old hat now adaptive dampers will do
>???
Thats it
Its not like some 1 tonne tin can could put the power down anyway
Veeky Forums is just full of benchracers repeating the same manta
>durrr heavy = bad
Who said that, apart from yourself?
>All you need to counteract heavy chassis is the following...
There's an awful lot to chassis dynamics that you don't grasp. Without polar moment of inertia, weight distribution is arbitrary (otherwise a Falcon ute would be a handling God). Without suspension geometry accounted for, spring rate is arbitrary (otherwise a Landcruiser with a heavy leaf pack would decimate Bathurst). Without tyre compound and tread characteristics taken into account, tyre width is arbitrary (otherwise the same Cruiser with sticky 12.5 Trepadors would pull mad G's).
>Veeky Forums is just full of benchracers repeating the same manta
Still calling that kettle black?
Fuck off with your shit taste I bet you don’t even like fairy bread
Maybe if you didn’t have so many sper repayments you could afford better
and what car do you drive with such amazing grip?
This but unironically and vs
>spending this much money on an vz alloykek
This shit wasn’t funny even when it was new.
>when you're feeling so emasculated you need to attempt strawman antics
At least you know what my car is, your too pussy to even tell me what you have
I see you’ve come on just to spout more shit you know nothing about. Go crash your Gaylais you nigger.
And yet you STILL wont say what car you have, let alone what work you've done on it.
You have nothing to loose
Good job you just described the ve/vf commodore
>At least you know what my car is
Niether do I know, nor care what your car is as it irrelevant. Spouting shit you don't know anything about is the issue here.
AND what cars do you fine fellows drive
Seems I have a hive minded user.
>Gaylais
>strikes a chord
Lol, I should've known I was talking to the potato.
Why is that relevant?
>potato shot down
>thread slowly descends into "drama"
I'll bet this somehow ends up being everyone else's fault lol
Your the one making a drama out of simple banter yet again by just attacking everything anyone says you dont agree with then when the spotlight goes back to you you dont even say what experience or cars you own to back your viewpoint up
Aaaaaand thread derailed
>wonder what’s happing in /anz/ toda-
>projection
>hypocrisy
Let's get the thread back on track by either having you vacate it, or cease pretending you're some kind of automotive Zen character and learning from your stupidity. And then we shall carry on?
Let the archive state I didn't post this
these are shit.
if the engine mounts fail the only thing that holds the engine in is the BOV, ive seen this before.

CUNT
how can you not afford an ek2 civic?
>go looking for any good civic
>non vtec ones are fucked out with retard repco mods
>vtec ones all 300,000 kms and no doubt thrashed by a p plater
what a cunt
ek civics are memed by p platers, i would own one with a vtak swap but they are too expensive.
Whats the best year for a RAV4, is it even worth looking at the modern ones?
I'd say the second gen (think they were early-mid naughties?) because they're dirt cheap, not much bigger than the first gen but being a lot nicer. But then, I'd sooner buy a Corolla than a Rav4. Why exactly do you want a Rav4?
1st gen cuz 3sge
Wanted something with decent space (I go camping on the weekends a fair bit, usually go with a fair amount of shit and a couple people). Some cunt told me RAV4s were decent. Is there another car you'd recommend?
>Is there another car you'd recommend?
Yeah, Suzuki Vitara. Similar size and fuel economy but a proper 4x4 as opposed to a Corolla on stilts with a diff at the back. Makes a much more appropriate camping vehicle having good capability.
Camry/Corolla wagon from late 90s - midnaughties, they’re reliable as fuck. Same for vt - vz wagons though they’re more likely to be flogged so do your homework
It's same as pic related, stock standard milano red fn2r.

They look better in person.
