car talk @ social gatherings.

i was out and about tonight.

i find out that this bloke i was talking to owned a 5speed AUTO xf. with 150rwkw all from a stock "RECONDITIONED Motor mate"

i then get told ea's are really crap compared to eb and ed. and i ask why?
coz apparently fan belts squeek.

so i thought why not, he reckons ea's suk, so i take him for a spin in my ;) "carby ea on gas" the 4litre +t5 with exhaust stuck him in his seat, and "ИИИИ man thats the best ea i have ever been in" lmao

oh i was in so much pain from trying to keep the laughter in, just had to ring up mates and tell them about this 5speed animal ;)

Gotta love the ИИИИ dribblers sometimes. I had this bloke talking to me about his old mans torana, "yer mate its a v8 with a supercharged twin turbo, runs 8's bro."
I had him goin on for ages about this cars carbon fibre chassis and titanium pistons, could barely hold the laughter in.

RavenLS1 · 08-01-2006, 03:05 PM

I was at the drags in the EB late one friday night. Some guys were checking out the turbo setup at Macca's then one dude comes up to me telling me all about his EA and how awesome it was except it wasnt running right as the carby was not working properly. :P

Its amazing how many people will tell you their cars engine was worked up from the factory. I've heard ИИИИ like ' oh this fairlaine was bought new by a sales rep who was friends of the guy who runs tickford. the parts in this car arent nessisarially standard tickford parts' . There was a guy once who was telling me he owned a xr6t and he bought it new when they first come out (20 years old ths bloke was) so i askled where the car was 'oh its at my mates place, i got a pic on my phone' I asked if he had added the bonnet bulge, the gt kit, the gt wheels and painted it rapid. ' oh nah mate thats how i bought it' He obviusly didnt realise the pic he's taken was of a gt and the colour wasnt avalible at the BA launch lol.

aimzes · 09-01-2006, 05:47 PM

the 327 in the old monaros was a chevy right? can someone confirm this before i say something stupid.

jcxr · 09-01-2006, 05:50 PM

Correct.

Ryan · 09-01-2006, 05:52 PM

I hate the idiots who talk absolute sh*t and they have no idea what they're talking about.

Lucky for me I havent had to put up with morons talking crap about my car to my face. there was one time that a group of idiots in a Hilux were mouthing it off, they soon shut up when we told them it was a 5 speed that had been tuned up. lol

Racecraft · 09-01-2006, 05:58 PM

I have people come into the workshop and point at my LPG convertors and ask about my nitrous. Yep mate I need two becuase one isn't enough, you twat. Not so much younger lads but the old wise men with the crack of their ar$e hanging out their shorts..

had a huge argumant with this bloke who reckoned the 327 in the old monaros was the largest australian made engine. this bloke used to corner me at parties and just talk crap. i think it was the only way he could really get me away from his girlfriend.

but i recently had a great convo with a bloke whos dad built fat57. this kid turns up at a party in a slammed 72 chevy pickup. had a good chat with him about cars and stuff, good bloke. turns out the ute he was driving round in was made up form bits and peices they had laying round. i was more than a little envious even though it was a chev.

snypereb · 09-01-2006, 06:16 PM

In other words he is talking s!@#!!!!!!!!!!
