    this thing's like 40mm off the deck. only the exausht scrapes on _most_ judder bars and driveways and it doesn't bottom out any more than a standard escort whilst still retaining satisfactory handling for a road car.

    don't rag on me for how it looks either. It's that way for a certain look

    hardly on topic but shows it's all in the thinking beforehand. this was sorted for bugger all coin but has never been hassled by the cops. faily comfortable to ride in too.

    my daily's about 110mm off theground and a simlar wheelbase to a e32 7series. I clip the exhaust if I take the driveway at work wrong but it's a total bitch of a driveway anywho. 'tis sweet as for passenger carrying/towing and is comfortable as.

    my views - 4x4's are fine. I hate seeing them used for a road car 100% of the time though. I've thrown up buying one myself a few times, but I'd rarely use the 4x4 option so ruled it out. Bro has a 4x4 'lux which sees use (not just omg need 4wd coz i'm in a paddock, it gets pretty heavy use) on a weekly basis... given that he works huge hours I think that this is very frequent.....

    people only crash them because they don't have the necessary skills in which to pedal them. bro's is rather high, and running big mud tyres etc which are all derogatory to handling in general. yet, making allowances for this it's actualy a reasonable performing vehicle on the road... keeps up with traffic very well and easily, just requires different techniques to a Car....

    people need to harden the f**k up

    Woo,wicked start to the weekend,Friday night just as the mcdonalds in town starts to get packed,a f**Kload of cops come and block off all entrances to do some intense checking of cars.Went round EVERY single car there,jacked it up check for spring captiveness etc etc.We waited about 2 and a half hours to be checked,trying to avoid it if possible,but in the end went home with a green sticker for having car sitting on bumpstops and having no suspension travel...was all captive etc just too low <_< ,200 dollar fine and had to drive home at no more than 50kmh,which was really fun bahaha.

    sh*t load of old school cars got pinkied for no certs,6-7 cars got towed,looked to be a few angry people.Meh should have a legal car!

    On the way back,see that the road next to the gas station by the water front has all been closed and all the Chosen few dudes were being checked.

    Anyone else in town last night?Only bimmers I saw were a few pimp ones,L0WVIP etc etc.

    badass,

    I was cruising round auckland both friday and saturday night, often in convoy with a bit of j-tin.

    badass weekend, got videoed, pxtd, pics taken, many compliments, and a couple of shitheads bowing down to me 'waynes world' stlye. crack up as

    didn't get any grief form the cops, even though I was blaring the godfather horms at every one I saw.

    only grief we got, which was actually hilarious, was some jumped up maori chick who thought we were undercover cops coz she heard the scanner which we had going for entertainment...

    my car is pretty low now too, it's legitly done by myself, and I never got grief at all... went through the checkpoint they had set up on the raod along by that mobil etc and only got stopped once to breath test me.

    if you're legit you wont get grief. I've been in my own cars the last two years and not got any hint of trouble.

    we were parked in the carpark which the following pics hows, and there was a 96ish merc with no springs (we knew coz the knob jockey yelled out at us "f**kin' no springs boe!!!"

    he drove off down the road, exhaust/chassis throwing sparks....2 minutes later he was ona tow truk.... how guys like that think that's even worth bothering to do is beyond me....

    anyway, here's my sh*t. dunno if anyone saw me out or not

    Something organised with a small gate charge (like $10) and security and music in the padoock would be the go. Unfortunately that would mean no booze, or expensive booze. Up here lots of teenagers hire out places like farms or stockyards, throw 40 parents on as security, hire a DJ, charge everyone $10 plus BYO booze and they go hard and usually make a profit. Something along those lines would be the ticket... Pity it wouldn't work on an "official" party.

    that'd be badass

    alot of it's down to the design of the exhaust manifolds, on the boxers.

    I've heard subarus, dubs, porsches even alfa romeo suds that have engine sounds that are poles apart.

    I enjoy the sound of volkswagen/porsches flat fours, the alfas, and some subarus. usually highly tuned subarus sound miles better than the stock "drainpipe" style, shithead modified examples which you've probably encountered around palmerston north (there's a guy whom I work with who's STi impreza sounds terrible)

    yank v8s often lack any form of mufflers and resonators. they sound like they're running half under water at low engine speeds.

    all the aforementioned engines sound best at full chat, I think that's a given of almost anything

    snow blind??? wtf? and it looks tidy as nice colour too. german plate and weaves will be so nice!

    that plastic cover in the lower valance which covers a hole. lots of euro stuff have them. my peugeot for one... and upon it's removal I picked up ALOT of extra cooling.... wouldn't b the case on one of these though I doubt.

    silver fox's latest race car had one. I noticed it was lying in my driveway the other day, in 3 pieces, and that it's missing on his pictures, must say they look better without them though...
