Ok first laughs on me ... ex-missus thought it would be amusing to paint my toenails while i was asleep ..
![]() Next up is a selection of vehicles this month that had Clunking/ Vibrations/Punctures hmm OMFG that lancer .. missing castor rubbers, bald tyres,metal on metal brakes (can we just stop the noise please)floorpans ripped open,three piece steering wheels ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() This one is an RB30 in a skyline/commo cant remember which ?... But i replaced his waterpump and pointed out his timing belt was cactus .. NOPE .. it broke a week later and he accused us of tampering with it ![]() ![]() For around $120 he instead has now lost that engine and god knows how this will turn out... Moral of this post , nothing in the above pics were actually fixed.. These deathtraps are still out there on the Gold Coast !! Because when presented with the cause/problem they had no money to fix them ^^^ ![]() |

That lancer is atrocious! How can people drive cars like that? My worst car was a $500 180b, full of rust etc... First day it got buckets, harnesses, brakes and tyres. Safety first!

Everyone's taste is different, but there are a few things I can't stand - one is nice wheels matched to a tractor like ride height, the other is a nice bodykit with tiny little standard wheels...
I'll get the ball rolling with these two Holdens... Has this guy jacked up his VE or what? And if only this VT had the 18's to go with that Clubby kit... Sinful. Let's keep 'em non Ford in order to avoid anyone on here getting offended... Last edited by Grobbo; 17-03-2011 at 10:44 PM. |

And as much as its sensible logic to lower your car first and then buy the brakes you want, and then buying rims to fill the guards and suit so you don't have clearance issues... Some people might want to do the rims as their first mod, and then dropped springs after. Just because you took the photo between step one and step two, doesn't mean you should ridicule them. They bought some nice wheels, better than 80% of the other yobs that buy those horrible chinese chrome p.o.s things, or tempes or things equally shit. |

I had these pics in the Truck Thread but I thought that I may as well put them in here as well.
I was reversing a semi-trailer into a factory when this bloke didn’t want to wait and thought that he would go around me on the nature strip. Hidden in the grass was a tree stump that smashed his sump and blew out his airbag. He probably wishes that he waited the 20 seconds for me to back in now. Fail. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Here's the video. ![]() http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=39grA9zWvOc
