Speaking of X3s-had mine repaired.




Scarcely a trace of roo blood left!

I hit a pretty sizable wallaby in my BMW at about 70-80kms and it bounced right off and landed on the guardrail, died instantly but was most surprised by the fact the front bumper had not a mark on it, not one, i still cant get over it i got home thinking my front bar at least would be totally trashed, you would never know it had happened.

wolfman101

That's a pic from shortly after it happened. Not really much damage at all. If you look at the panel behind the wheel you can see that it's all warped, and the door has a long dent/scratch where his tail hit. He also busted the foggy and pushed it in/filled it with a mixture of blood and rain.

Might of sold my VTEC numberplates on ebay.

Awaiting payment.

GOOD SHOW.

How much?

VersionR

The funk? A mate of mine hit a grey roo about 1m tall in his EL XR6 on the drivers side front at 90kmh, smashed his front end, the windscreen and broke the A pillar, and despite the blood and fur, the roo got up and left


Did all tie rods and took it for a wheel alignment, and fitted the roommate's CD player and speakers, big headache from solder smoke, just kept floating toward my face no matter which way I turned

ShanO`

Got the new wheels fitted to my Falcon

truffles

Don't look as bad as I'd thought.

Today, I washed 4 cars.

Aarie

Tried to funk around with my flash tuner to get it to shift softer (looses traction in 3rd at 120km/h) Had no luck because the moron I baught it off fuched up all the factory settings.

mark1414

haha sure it does.

OT: Nothing other than looking at it sitting on stands.

stockmy00

In an xr6??
Time to get some new tyres

Damo

Gave the dirty @#$! a wash at my local coin deposit self serve sprayer.

patrick_h_oz

Bypassed the heater today. Usual painful time removing the hoses. Stupid wire hose clamps! Hopefully that is the end of missing coolant..

MJ80

It was a wallaby not a roo, big difference but impressive none the less.

RB25_lovin

time to stop taking corners at 120 in the wet

j.d.m

4 hours of work this afternoon, just gotta un-hook the driveshafts then the motor and gearbox can come out.

V3N0M

Put some fuel in it
Thing misses and carries on if I put anything but BP Ultimate in it

_Ben

New intake manifold gasket.

Shame your about to lose your licence.

BlueSwiftGTi

Bought it

wolfman101

GOOD FUNKING SHOW.

Love 'em-the smart man's alternative to the '86.

BlueSwiftGTi

See you all on the road - make sure to wave if you do! The colour is going to be rare as hell as the first lot that came to Australia are the only ones to have this colour - it's already ceased production.

In what way?

Its fwd, and despite what the marketing people say, its a hatchback...

Not to say that its not a bad car I have no idea. But wouldn't something like a gti/scirocco/focus st/rs megane/citroen ds3 be a more reasonable comparison?

wolfman101

In the sense that it's a cheap, quick-ish little car that is better featured/fit-and-finished than the '86.

This topic has been done to death-and I get in trouble for my dislike of the '86, so I won't do it again...suffice to say that I've mentioned all of the cars you just did, but remember that none of them are RWD either.

If RWD is a requirement for you, rather than speed/looks/quality/features, then yes, the '86 is really your only option at it's price point.

wolfman101

That is one clean funking car, if I do say so myself.

Sam2505

ran some new speaker wire and put the bullbar back on the van, slowly getting there

RB25_lovin

agreed. after working on to many hyundais are nothing but s**t. nanas cars

@cid

6km on the clock when i picked it up

Draven

Removed the Air system from the engine bay of the Fairlane...
Before...

After...

happycamper

Fair enough, there are better choices in that price bracket though. I was not aware of your recent run-ins with boost's finest so it seemed like a strange comparison.

Also, I'm not a fan of the 86.



This was not my point at all.

wolfman101

Once again, well-trodden ground, but really the only ones that fall into the bracket properly are the Megane RS (my choice) and the Veloster Turbo. All the others are 5-10k over.
...
I'd still just save longer and get one of those though.
