[LetsDuDiss]

LOL ok. Decide after this long weekend. Don't wanna wait for it over the weekend LOL. Gonna paint my stockies white this weekend

Do you know where to get paint in sydney?

Lol Their page setup looks the same.

OTR is good. Service is good. They have a bit of hate towards hondas when I go to their shop.
Because I dont have a high horsepower Evo or Subaru like them they talk down on me.

Other than that. They're really good. Cheapest in Melbourne.
Just their attitude

Yeah I got the same attitude, too lol. I was enquiring about an exhaust system from that and in a nutshell, they're like, "FDs are slow so you shouldn't bother doing performance mods to it - just do cosmetic". He even went as far to say the FD2 was slower than the FD1 because it was heavier.
I mean, it's practical advice and at least they're not out there to rip you off, but it was kinda lol.

HAHAHA, they probably look down on this whole forum then LOL

Alright, I'll see what I can afford this month. Should I paypal or bank deposit. 4% surcharge for paypal. 40 bucks more.... Any thoughts? Will I get jibbed paying by bank deposit? LOL

I'm tightarse so I'd go bank deposit. Agree with jprak, they are a legit business. Should anything go pear shape, your bank will recover the money for you anyway.

Haha, you are right. Of course Evos are better than FDs in terms of performance when they are moded, but for daily driving FDs are good enough. So that's why i dont spend much money on performance mods for my FD. In my opinion, you can spend on turbo charge, air intake,........just for better feeling but not for racing with Evo which is has the same mod. Even, with a turbo FD, i dont know whether they can beat a mazda mp25 or not. How do you think guys?

I thought mp25 is about the same as FD2. If youre driving a FD1, there is not much in terms of performance mods that you can do on a R18. But FD2, I think there is more potential. LOL i'm not sure, just my thought from what I know. But yeah I'm sure a turbo FD2 can chop a mp25 no problem. But I would never spend money on turbo coz that shit is fuel hungry as fk. Maybe CAI

I drive manual so my acceleration is always slower than others ahahaha unless I hit vtec but I feel bad for my petrol tank LOL

Exhaust and Intakes are the main performance mods people do to their FDs not days.
I've done Exhaust, Intake and the rest is on handling and cosmetic.

When I race against the new V8 Holdens/Fords. They take me on straights but around corners and round abouts
I gain on them and pretty much eatting their rear bumpers. Thats on cheap china tyres.
Going for a wheel alignment soon to add more camber to the front for better grip around corners.

With alignment and good tyres I could easily past them.

FDs arent as bad as people think they are. Especially for us kids that on their P plates.
The only people that insults FDs are kids with rich parents that buys them any car they want.
Saw a kid the other day with a built DC5R. Still had his High School uniform on.
