Can anyone comment on how well (or badly) these fake suede steering wheels wear from daily use, especially compared to the leather ones?
And how the "feel" is when driving, again compared to leather...

As per title, what would happen if you refuse to blow into the breathalyzer. I know they would take you into the station, but then what?

As additional info, I rarely drink, and never drink and...

ChargeR, did you ever drive your car with little droop?

Mugen, I think with the Teins for the helper spring to no longer be trapped, the ride height has to be so low that the primary objective is...

Thanks Mugen_ctr,
The issue with the Teins is that they do not have preload adjustment.
So, at least the theory is that the inside of the car will lift much more because of the large amounts of...

Thanks guys for the responses, however I was asking about suspension droop and not ride height/lowering (I assume maybe you guys thought I misspelled "drop")

Hi guys,

Just wondering for the people who track their car and have coilovers with preload adjustment, do they ever feel like the inside wheels have reached their maximum extension (ie, droop)...

Does anyone know how much droop is good for a fast street/track used car?
I noticed that with some coilovers (eg, BC Racing) you set the preload and the height is adjusted via lowering the shock...

I understood, I was just saying and confirming what you said that they shouldn't be compared to each other.
Thanks for the input :)



Have you used the RS-R tires?
I've also read that they...

The KU31 isn't a good comparison. The KU36 would be more comparable to the R1R and even still I think the R1R should be considerably better.
It's good to hear they R1R grip from cold though.
I...

Not a daily driver, just something for fun/track



No I was going to buy a set of wheels from tirerack and order them with R1R tires at $127 each for 205/50/15. With additional delivery this...

Thanks Standrd,
I was expecting that the RS-R would offer more grip and heat up faster.
What about noise levels? The R1R is meant to be loud, whereas from what I read the RS-R is surprisingly...

Has anyone had experience with both these tires?

They are roughly the same price, same treadwear, and both have good reviews, but which is the better one of the two?

Thanks

This must have happened when the car was worth a lot more though? What would be the point of wasting so many hours for a cheap old car.

This is what makes buying old performance cars such a gamble I guess.
I've heard of some horror stories where two halves of separate cars were welded together to make one.

Who deems the cars? Insurance companies?
Does this mean if a non-insured car is crashed and has structural damage, it can be bought/salvaged by a DIY panel beater and sold off?

Would this mean that repairable write offs which in turn were automatically became statutory write offs in NSW could be repaired and registered in other states, or is this classification nation wide?

I understand cars labeled as a statutory write off can not be registered, but what exactly puts them in this category?

I've seen cars which are statutory write offs which appear to have fairly...

Thanks guys.
Does anyone know if this is the case in all states, and how is it calculated (ie, if you have 12 month rego, and cancel it halfway, do you get 50% back)?

Hi guys,

Does anyone know whether remaining registration can be canceled and refunded?

Thanks

Sensei I would be somewhat interested, but a bit later.
The issue is it may become a target for theft

In my opinion, and apologies if I offend anyone, but I think that women in Australia are too empowered. It has gone from them wanting equal rights to demanding special treatment and double standards....

On another note, once I witnessed someone being arrested by a bunch of cops, and I asked "what did he do?" and a reply from a female cop was "get out of here before we lock you up".
Of course, I...

How do you prove in court that the officer did not have a speed radar reading though?
It just seems they are free to bend the truth to their convenience and you cannot protest it.

Personally I've...

Why do they try to issue tickets so hard? Do they work on a commission basis, or does this only happen to motorists driving tuned cars? ie, would you be treated the same if you were pulled over in a...

Xclusive, I think there are no limitations in regards to when cops can legally issue a ticket.
To give you an example, I have a friend who was driving on the opposite side of the road when cops went...
