How true are some of these!!


You can spot a front mount intercooler from 2kms away.

You spend an hour at a party talking to someone you just met about the
different versions of the 2JZ-GTE and fail to notice your missus leave.

Power oversteer is not the preferred way around a corner, it is the only
way.

You feel jealous when you see an exhaust larger in diameter than yours.
Even if it is on a truck.

Your bodykit generates more downforce than Schumacher's Ferrari.

The expression "We built with spartan air" not only makes sense, but you
know exactly where it comes from.

To you designer gear doesn't mean Hugo Boss or Armani, it means Jun,
Trust, HKS, Apexi, Blitz, GReddy.

You intend naming your firstborn RB26DETT. Boy or girl.

Your insurance payments are larger than your mortgage payments.

You are deaf from too much exhaust noise, but can hear an external vent
blow off valve from 4kms away.

You have no idea who won the football on the weekend because you were too
busy downloading JGTC lap times.

The timing of milestones in your life are remembered by linking them to
release dates for Evo Lancers.

Your car has more stickers than your bank account has dollars.

Reigning champion to you doesn't mean Marcos Ambrose it means Youichi
Imamura .

You know that four wheel drives can break traction under hard acceleration
because you do it daily.

You think the terms "significant other" and "emotional attachment" refer
to your car.

You have more gauges in your glove box than most people have in their
cars.

Despite the fact yours in the only car within 100 metres, you fold the
wing mirrors in when you park up at the shops.

You don't know how much it costs to post a letter, but all air freight
charges ex Japan are committed to memory.

Your last relationship broke up after a nasty argument as to whether a
Sileighty was better than a Onevia.

You think of someone as stupid because they don't know the difference
between a series 7 & a series 8 RX-7.

Your vote in the next election will be solely determined by who is
promoting the least restrictive import regulations.

You don't just have a preferred mechanic, but a preferred wrecking yard,
parts importer, vehicle compliance centre, insurance broker...

Your living room is painted prodrive blue. The furnishings are gold.

You support Brad Jones because he once drove at Bathurst in a Starion..

DeLr
i can agree with a few.... but theres too many rice references wink.gif

brapdatr

You're just jealous because you I drive a conventional car :tongue:
brapdatr

funny how there is always a debate on which motor is better than the other, when in reality, none are perfect nor are any better than the other as a general use motor.. they all have their advantages.. I'd like to see someone tow a boat with a rotor laugh.gif I like my 4s, 6s, 8s, 10s, 12s and rotors.. they all have their strengths and weaknesses.. they all rock..

ps, I also like 3 and 5 cylinder cars laugh.gif
DeLr
who tows boats with sports cars????
brapdatr
a 20B rotary has more torque than a V12 Jaguar.
How many silvia, 180sx, skylines, supra, wrx etc. have towbars?
fo_sho_manr
none cause that was not their purpose..
DeLr
exactly our point.. why would u tow a boat with a rotor....
brapdatr
Its been proven that you dont need torque to go fast. Its all about power to weight ratio.

And thats why rotaries kick ass and always will kick ass. I would like to see someone pull 1000+hp out of a 2L V8
DeLr
hmmmm.... thats brapalicious!
fo_sho_manr
I'm just saying that people always saying that V8s are crap etc gets a bit tiring.. they were designed with a purpose and they do it well.. I like cars, all types of engines, they have their strengths, I don't bag rotors cause I like their potential, just don't like how thirsty they are..
DeLr
sad fact is i get about 300km a tank... maybe 350km on a 12a 1982 s2 rx7...

my 91 TR 2.6litre 4 cyl magna im lucky to get 300-350km from on the same fuel..

i can tell u wat cars more fun to drive tho wink.gif
DeL
and if ya cant get one into ya... get into one as fast as u can and then hold on!
