OK we have got some(not a lot) sanity in the noisy exhaust, now how to cure the offensive, invasive "boom box" problem Didn't they try that in Aussie? Big exhaust = small schlong. :lol: Or maybe it was the stereo. Loud stereo = small schlong. |

One of the NZ guys got almost a year out of his Sylvia, with a stock SR20de block. When they blow, sure they get a stronger bottom end, but still. Gotta be a good sign. :thumbs: I don't think I'll ever blow mine. Probably put it into a new body if I ever manage to bend the car. |

| 655699 | 2008-04-03 22:29:00 | Two cars in the family, standard exhausts. No problems, no intentions of changing any exhaust. That out of the way - I was amazed at how long exhausts last in NZ - in the good old days (15 yrs ago in SA) a brand new exhaust would rust through within 2-4 yrs. Here - I've never experienced any problems with an exhaust, ever. Must be a different kind of material (although I don't know - aren't they all made in the same factory in China?) sarel I use to own a Toyota Corolla 1.6 Lift Back and the shortest period I had an exhaust on was about 18 months, in about 1995 when unleaded 95 octane came in they were lasting 5 or 6 years or more. It was the lead in the petrol that was corroding the things. :) |

Cars don't combust with organic compounds to its full potention less then 20 percent efficienty anyway so you get allot of CO produced which cannot be absorbed by plants. | JUST INSANE (6682) | ||

| 655702 | 2008-04-04 05:29:00 | Just mount heat seeking missiles on Police patrol cars just the thing for shooting up a big bore. Just like the IRA idea its hard to re-offend if ya cars been blown to S*%# especially with the brain less boy racer in it. Just my idea for solving the boy racer issue, unfortunately the Greens would likely disapprove of setting of bombs in the high street.. |

| 655704 | 2008-04-04 06:05:00 | Driving for 10+ years no offenses or pulled over or accidents. Don't have a car, I borrow it for the w'end if I go out for a short time, if not I bus. Its those noise. You hear it .. they go around a corner and they guzzle all the way up the hill ...they squeak their tyres around a turn and then they do the same around the bend (we live right at the corner of the bend :( ) Last night a car squeak the wheels and then craashed onto something .. they yelled got out .. they then got back in and squeaked off .. dunno what they hit. Maybe a pedestrian pathment .. Well in some of the larger cities of the world some wear ear plugs when they sleep as construction is going around the clock or they hear traffic outside (in the city apartments).... I support it .. I also like the petrol consumption labels too .. One of the cars is a 1992 bought 4yrs old, 1.3L auto, Mazda, still have it and going well, maybe the A/C needs a clean but its fine... the paintwork is fine but the back right corner leaks some water in the car on a rainy night... Edit. One of the reason I don't want a car is I don't need it .. and that some drivers piss me off and I can react. Also that I don't like japanese cars because many boy racers get them and you look similar to them. Would like a Audi in black thou, turbo quattro. |

| 655705 | 2008-04-04 13:07:00 | I actually did a service on my Bluie last night - air filter, fuel filter and oil change/filter. No liquids needed topping up, and it hadn't used any oil for 12,000km. I'm happy with it. Agreed, a great engine, good power/torque/weight ratio, and reliable (but you must change the oil/filter at regular intervals (5000 or 10000km) as they tend to block up the (very small diameter) holes in the camshaft lobe/rocker arm oil supply tubes (this is all that lubricates them), if they do it will start to rattle and squeak ( and it's TOO LATE to fix it!); also keep an eye on the antifreeze level and the hoses underneath the inlet manifold (out of sight, tend to get hard and burst)). |
