something not so awful, 2010 e-class coupe

[psychedelik_aj]

I got me a Chrysler, It seats about 20 so come on and bring your jukebox money...

Awesome supercar and one of the best imo. V12 with quad turbo goodness.I would prefer this any day over the Audi R8.

Pitty I will never be able to own one.

[Suloh]

lucky its only your opinion

[Dogma]

a dream made even harder by the fact that it was never produced, and probably never will be.

[nVs]

yeah, fucking shit when they do that, like with the mg roadster/concept, it was made, but im not sure of the ammount..
fuck all from what i know, they had some insane bolt on kits with insane hp

[s u b u r b a n]

[nVs]

as for that MG - i looked at the front lights and thought "calibra"

that mg had some serious power tho, i was always a fan of the calibra shape,




i know they werent the most reliable and quickest car, still reasonably quick...
with some exceptions

2009 vaxhaul calibra

[Suloh]

If i return to study next year, i will be doing lots of driving and wont have alot of spare $$

therefore I am considering a diesel

I have driven the Golf V (TDI)and i am impressed with the ride, and with 5 people in the car it still pulled pretty hard. What are the other half decent diesels out there for under 25k?

hes had some servicing/work done, lowered it about 15mm, #3 coil had the same issue as #1 did last year...gay tiny little crack, new boost controller etc...He -wants- to get a motor built etc etc..but i dont think he knows how much he is really in for if he decides to put a 2.2 in..

ok ok...
this is going to sound crap and im not 100% sure about it myself,
was talking to a mate who is a hyundai mechanic (also work mitsubishi and other company's) and he said the i30 was a great lil car..
specially the turbo deisel...
not sure how much they would be but around 25k i would say...

and it is a hyundai!!

[Dogma]

might as well just cut off his balls while you're there

[aleks]

i dont ever want to buy a hyundai

I dont want to spend this much on a car (37) but i think its a nice looking ride (anyone driven one?)

2lt turbo

hahahahaha
yeah true...
it would have to be a DAMN good car for me to buy a hyundai,
not a fan @ all!
id rather kia/proton anyday!
(for cheap asian imports)

[aleks]

IF i had to buy a cheap korean, id would be hyndai (5 year warranties), Kia is complete rubbish dont u watch today tonight

[nVs]

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

renault

[nVs]

HAHAHAHAHAHA
NO!

its not even news!

[j-mo]

I've heard very good things about the i30 diesel as well.

Who cares if it's a Hyundai, it looks good, goes well, has plenty of room inside and runs on the smell of an oily rag.

[frogman]

Hyundai have made great inroads into making great cars. They used to be plasticy nasty cheap pieces of crap, but they have fixed their game up.

If they bought their 2 seater over here, i would give it some serious consideration.

i've not driven one but a guy on the ralliart colt forum used to own a sport 225.
he sold it because of the constant warranty repairs. he said it was a fun car though.

i know its secondhand anecdotal evidence but its all i got.

top gear reviewed the RS

[Dogma]

those renaults are decent, they're just very boy racer. if i was going down that route i'd pick up an audi s3

ps can we stop talking about hyundais please, they're just awful. they don't look nice, they don't go well, and this is certainly not the thread to be talking about fuel economy.

[alba]

s3
now theres a car

I give less than five years before we start seeing a per km tax.

[brooa]

I give less than five years before we start seeing a per km tax.

lol if that goes through we might as well shoot ourselves in the head! the price for EVERYTHING would sky rocket. they already have the tax on fuel if that aint enough they can go fuck them selves.

although if its on a federal level we wont end up seeing a cent of it spent over here is wa which where its needed most! we really need to ditch the east.

shhh i can hear Facter getting a woody when you say that

[Buffle]

the per km tax will be brought in so as not to lose tax from electric cars

[alba]

ever thought that they might only introduce it for electric cars then?

If we could stretch to 35K I would be looking at these, one for the week and one for the weekend.

I think someone made this point a while back, same thinking when mitu and toyota came into the market.

Crap start then started making decent cars..
Not sure id buy one but still..!?

[mc68]

I give less than five years before we start seeing a per km tax.

the transport industry will not allow it. they are already taxed on how many Litres they use....truckies will grind the country to a stop if that tax comes close.

I half built an i30 diesel tarmac rally car (itll be at targa this week) for a 1.6 oil turbo diesel (had a remapped ecu) it went fucking fast...ran out of puff at 4000, but if you keep feeding it gears, not much could have touched it off the line, the sticky r comps were almost too good for it

[alba]

anyone going for a look at targa this year?
havent picked our stages yet but will be checking it out, maybe sat arvo.

[Birt]

I got a little excited when I saw this.



Another question, have peeps been popping in the Nissan V8 into the Silvia's over in Perth? I saw one here for the first time and thought it was quite interesting. Then I saw an Rx7 and a 350Z with a 2JZE, crazy Americans.
