[ekcoupe]

wow an em1 for ur first car:D
i should have spent and extra few grand for one but owell.

good to start with a manual i wish i did.

how long are you on ur l's for over there?

[SuperJDM.]

I think i have to wait till im 18? and complete 300 hours of driving i think its 300 not sure.

[ekcoupe]

woah i feel sorry for u mate, in qld u get ur license once u done 100 hours and 1 year.

trust me after a month or two ur gonna get sick of driving with a supervised driver, my car is mostly in the carport i get to go out for a drive probably once a week and u also have to catch buses even know u got a car its real annoying.

BTW well done u picked up probably the best deal:thumbsup:

[SuperJDM.]

Wow only 100 and 1 year not fair :(. Drove for the 2nd time today i struggle from N to 1st abit like the car jerks LOL. Noobie.

[ekcoupe]

hehe i want a manual so bad:D

good luck mate u will get the hang of it after a week or two

EDIT: actually my bro said that theres gonna be new laws for qld soon that u have to have ur l's for 2 years not sure on hours, luckily i get in before then.

[p3akin]

congrats on the buy.. practice makes perfect

[moogle]

goodluck matey:)
nice purchase and a mint car!

[Troy]

Damn you got that on your L's? Lucky. And mow that lawn!

Ah back in the day... I had my L's for 6 months then got my P's. No hours or logs or anything like that.

I had done plenty of bush-bashing at mates properties before getting a license, so I had the gears and clutch down-pat before ever hitting the road. My dad had a Mitsubishi Cordia GSR (turbo) he was fixing up for my brother at the time when I got my L's, so I learnt on the road in that. He bought it real cheap from the wreckers because the turbo itself was missing off the engine and it was running rough. He found one at another wreckers and stripped the whole thing down and rebuilt it up tough, mate that was a lot of fun! So I've always had a soft spot for the Cordia, done up right they look nice and they're fun to drive.

[SuperJDM.]

Haha thanks guys. Yeah i got this on my Ls 2 weeks after my Ls actually. I really need a exhaust it looks really ODD with the stock one on now its like 1inch? Lol.

[RiceMeister]

[SuperJDM.]

[Raztaz]

i hope willz's car has gone to a good home! :)

[SuperJDM.]

DW man. Im only on my Ls i cant thrash it just YET hehe.

[Troy]

You can still thrash them and look after them... I like to drive mine pretty hard at times, but always look after it and make sure I keep an eye on everything and service it on time.

And obviously things like keeping it clean, a quick wash and vacuum regularly takes most of the pain out of it.

[MRB18R]

nice for your first car only on your L's DAYUMMNNNNN congrats brother... who knows what youll have on your full 34gtr perhaps lol

[ninzee]

its mrwillz so u know its been taken good care of :)

personally i think the em1 was a better buy than the type r

[xntrik]

Wow I thought you were gonna get a DC2/R after all the questions you PM'd me. lol

[SuperJDM.]

Wow I thought you were gonna get a DC2/R after all the questions you PM'd me. lol

Haha yeah was looking into a DC2R cause the EM1 was pending sale but it didn't go through.

full exhaust system or just muffler?

[SuperJDM.]

Just the muffler.

[Red_EG4]

trouble from N to 1? what do you mean?
if you're rolling in neutral and want to go into first use the double clutch method.
if your gearbox is having trouble going from N to 1 when you are stopped try slotting it into another gear and then try 1st again.

[SuperJDM.]

I just let go off the clutch to quick so the car jerks LOL. Ill get used to it.

[Red_EG4]

[anzai]

theres no proper 'method' in going from neutral to first. you just gotta feel the car.

[SuperJDM.]

Guys im going to balance out my wheels on friday because the front is so NOISY! you can hear the tires sound every time it rolls. Can someone tell me if they going to put my camber back to 0? Cause right now the rear is on -3 and the tires sound is coming from the front. Is it possible to tell them not to touch the camber?

[INVSBL]

u can get a wheel alignment done and tell them what camber you want aswell.

if ur paying for it, they will do what u tell them to do.

they will go on bout wear and shit, but its your choice in the end

[SuperJDM.]

Nah its not the alignment its the balance cause the car isn't dragging to one side or anything just make so much noise. But yeah ill ask him if he can leave the camber alone.

[INVSBL]

well if its balance, then thats just taking the wheels off getting htem balanced and put back on.

nothing to do with camber/suspension at all

[SHU-ES1]

could be the type/brand of tyre you're running.. beautiful car and grats on the purchase!!!

[SuperJDM.]

Thanks :D are new tyres but its worth going to get it balanced out.

[VBOMB]

Nice car but holy crap, 300 hours!!
Guess I got in just in time and completed 120 inc. 20 hrs night driving

[Troy]

300 hours for some reason doesn't really sound like all that much to be honest. With the number of drongos I see on the road everyday I'd want the policy to be something like that minimum...

[SuperJDM.]

Nono its only 120 hours guys i was a noob and didnt read it properly.

[INVSBL]

300 hours is nothing.

imo should be double that for the two year period

[VBOMB]

what do you mean nothing.. you'd have to find someone to sit and drive with you every time
on your own (P's) would be a diff. story

[INVSBL]

i drove 20 mins to and from school every week day, thats an hour a day in most conditions.

then i did hour + long drives on weekends. i had 400 hours with out making a drive out of the ordinary.......

that would be differnt for people who use public transport though.

20 mins to and from school = 40 mins, not an hour :S
not everyone has the benefit of their parents travelling around every weekend.

[INVSBL]

i edited the how long i drove bit and forgot bout hte hour bit.

even still

40 mins of driving a day, every week day should net u over 200 hours easy in one year.

[Red_EG4]

40 mins every week day would be 200 mins per week or 3 hours 20 mins.
200 x 52 = 10,400 minutes = 173.3 hours.
take into account school holidays and it's even less.

[INVSBL]

i hate you.

[Red_EG4]

love you
:D

[SuperJDM.]

LOL REd_EG4 should be a investigator.

[Red_EG4]

for a fee I'll be anything you want baby

[SuperJDM.]

Damn that shi* is kinky.

[INVSBL]

for a fee I'll be anything you want baby

hourly rate aint that much high either...

[SuperJDM.]

Went to get it balanced out the dude said its not that it might be the bearings. So looks like i gotta sus that out..... anyone knows how much bearings go for?

[Red_EG4]

what sort of tyres are you running? same on the front and back?
in regards to your camber question unless you have adjustbale camber arms then the camber angle cannot be adjusted without raising the height of the car.

[SuperJDM.]

Toyo front not sure about the back.

[Red_EG4]

they are Proxes on the front right?
some tyres just make a lot of road noise.
who did your balance? if he's a wheel/suspension specialist he should know what sound a knackered bearing makes.

[SuperJDM.]

Didn't end up doing it cause he said 100% its not because of that. Told us to go across the road to check if its 100% the bearings. But my dad CBF.

[SuperJDM.]

Hehe

[SuperJDM.]

Guys i got my exhaust fitted on a couple of days ago. When he was cutting it and weldng it when the car was up high it looked fine but when it was all done and finished he took the car down.
I notice the exhaust was straight it was on a angle going to the left side abit.

I didnt want to say anything @ that time cause it would be to much to get the car back up cut and weld again but now i regret being a little b!tch and not speaking up.
Should i bother taking it back or to a local exhaust shop and getting it straight or should i leave it? Anyone know rough ideas on the price.

Ill take picture tomorrow.

[b16a2roars]
