Perhaps he thinks that because his car has only done "29000k's"....just wait until it hits 100,000 and we will see what condition its in.

Ricers, as said many times, all show no go. EG: kitted up lancers, exels, echo, etc.


Some evos and rexes have tow bars to tow their stuff, and have seen a few.

A skyline with 350rwhp @ 1.4 tonnes can get 400kms/50 litres of petrol or more. What do v8's get. Of course you need to factor in the price you pay for RON 98, in comparison to ron 95/92.

Fords wern't meant to be sports cars, sporty family sedans, yes, sports cars no.

If you were to compare with evos, although a sedan, has Active center diff, lsds (1.5 way) as standard. You're gonna compare a car with that kinda stuff to make handling better in comparison to a sporty family sedan that dosn't? Evo's with an aftermarket ecu can make 300hp at the fly easily, out of a 2 litre engine. And evos are light. Put a stock standard evo and a hsv side by side on a track, and you'd probably see the difference in lap timing.

To each their own, but if you think buying an import is to pick up chicks, then by all means, do so, and you'll find yourself the biggest fool in the world. Ford/Holden entus buy a v8 for the same reason why an import person would, for the love of the car, not for the reason to pick up chicks and what sorts.

My gf personally loves bmws, ferarris and stuff, so am i gonna start feeling insecure when she raves about those cars? No, cause i know for a fact she knows how good those cars are, and i agree with her. Stop being stuck in your own world of my car is the best in the world, and imports suck, cause each car in their own right is good for their own purpose.

A ute is good for transporting stuff, a ford/holden is good for transporting pple and stuff with a little bit of grunt, a skyline gtr/s15/etc is good for performance and track, a toyota echo is good for fuel economy and little run about. The moment you start wandering out of that area, it causes issues.

An echo will never be a true blue sports car, a skyline will never be a true blue pple transporter, a evo/wrx is a compromise for both, but won't ever be a true blue track car due to it's rally blood, and a holden was never meant to be a true blue sports car or rally car.

So wake up your ideas, and stop being knumbskulls. Appreciate each car for the purpose it was built. And stop being so insecure about your vehicles/yourself.

V8s are good, but Forced induction seems to be the way of the future. Lotus superchargers, mercedes has superchargers, bmw has the twin turbo, etc. This is the best of both worlds, the grunt of a big capacity with the extra power of a turbo.

All this reminds me of something. Boys and their toys. As they get older toys just get more expensive but the attitudes remain.

Little boy 1- MY toy digger has a bigger bucket than yours!
Little boy 2- But MY toy digger has bigger wheels than yours!
Little boy 1- Big wheels look stupid, buckets are much better.
Little boy 2- Nuh UH! Buckets are stupid. wheels make the digger go!

Sounds familiar... _

maybe it is not about girls and their preference for cars but whichever guy has the less inflated ego at the point in time she decides which one to talk to. _2:

In the end it doesnt matter what car a guy drives, as long as he takes you to go buy shoes.

i like ricers.... i like them alot......especially when little muzzas and muzzarettes drive them.....they pull up at the lights next to me..........they laugh at my BIG TANK OF A CAR (that has more metal than a bhp mine).........they rev their little lawnmower engines for a run.......and when they launch at the lights......i just rev my motor right past them and they just back off.....come to the next set of lights when im laughing at them.........they dont even look at me........that is why i love ricers.....they pull out their erection on me.......and in a matter of seconds it gets caved back in.



the ricers im talking about are the wanna be evos, non turbo skylines and supras, wanna be wrx's, wrxcells, protons etc... all the n/a exhaust and filter jobs with the plastic everywhere.

LoL. I meant the skyline idiot. He's talking crap. No way a 10 yr old car at it's current age is better built than a car that's only 2 yrs old at most? So you got me wrong there.

EDIT: Sorry i quoted the wrong text, no wonder you misunderstood me. LOL

Whats this skyline is a sportscar BS?

Its been a taxi from day 1, 4 door, hatchback model, in every series.

The only one that has sports car cred is the GTR, and the early 2 door hardtop models, yet the rest are no more sports cars than a 2 door lancer....

Having a turbo and 2 doors does not make a sports car!!

The 200SX is more of a sports car than the skyline!! And so is the 350Z!!!

Ricers are the little turds that drive their puss bucket econo boxes that are blinged up to make a pretty disappointing mock up of the real thing!!!

i apologise and welcome to the forum ...i realy dont hate all jap cars. i still love 200sx. its just supras that i hate the most because they get so much attention because of the fast and furious. people dont realise they arnt all like that and it takes big money spent on it to make them go like in those movies. in saying that though it would cost more for a gt to go like that too lol. but yeh i didnt expect some of the responses i have gotten from starting this thread. i will remain a brick wall when it comes to gt's and typhoons. they arnt sport cars but they performance cars first. family car second. if they were only family cars they wouldnt have such power and brakes with crazy body kits...cheers

Actually, supras attract a lot of attention from girls due to the shape, it's really really nice for it's age. An auto turbo supra stock standard with 17" rims and an exhaust can pull 13'9 for the 1/2 mile, not too shabby i say. The typoon and gt to me is the closest you can get to owning a nice mix of performance and being family orientated in it's own class of course. Of course you can't compare them to the m5s e65s due to the main factor, price. But to me, it's still shy of the fact of being a true blue sports car. Not due to the fact that it has 4 doors, but due to the fact of the entire car setup, and the target clients.

my 351 ran out of petrol and I had to push the **** to the petrol station after 171km on a full tank (72 litres). not in a good state of tune lets say. I still look like less of a moron pushing the LTD than someone driving a skyline though.

an auto turbo supra with exhaust couldn't even pull a flat 14 on the quarter mile, they're fairly pathetic

I must thank each and every participant in this thread for giving me one of the best laughs I've had in ages! Those who have only ever driven one make or even one model for their lives give us the most hillarious comments - you just can't pay for that level of humour! Ah, zealous ranting, where would we be without you!

Variety really is the spice of life, and indeed of automotive life. But I don't want everyone to actually experience the different colours of the automotive rainbow, after all, without the one-eyed mongoloid contingent, where would the humour be!

Turbocharging was an 80s fad. Recall: Honda City, Charade, Pulsar ET, all with less than 80Kw. Formula 1 dropped it years ago. XR6T is just a mix of aftermarket parts that have always been available, except for the twin cam head that was developed around the time of the EA.

Cracker of a thread.

My skyline has the same power as my Fairmont Ghia V8 did and weighs ~250Kg less. Doesn't quite sound as good but that's mostly the quiet Fujitsubo exhaust on the skyline compared to the 3" straight through that was on the V8. The skyline is getting about half it's value (~5k) thrown at it for around 225-250rwkw soon just waiting on some parts.

N/As with delusions of mediocrity give skylines a bad name.

Wow this has degenerated into one nice crap fest - some very laughable comments showing a few peoples intelligence.

Problem seems to be always about confusion of the definition of a ricer, I have seen at least 6 different definitions in this one thread, someone even suggesting anything with a turbo is a ricer - WTF?

After careful consideration of what a ricer is i have managed to find a website that details it quite accurately ( I think!)

http://www.goingfaster.com/spo/you_m..._ricer_if.html

If turbo's are rice then i must be one confused sole...
