    Back in the day when there were no injection or a supercheap
    store on every corner there were fluffy dice and happy pants.
    We drove what we had or could afford and made the most of it
    People who grew up in that error will know this. We were having
    a few quietys last night a talking about this subject and descusting
    what we did to cars back then! I had a SLE Vb claped out 253
    i had to pull out choke when driving through mall to make it sound
    lumpy lol, and drill holes in fan to make supercharger sound. I know
    it semes lame but thous were the boat anchers days. Cheers

    Gotta love the things people do to their cars. Guess nothing has changed, people are still doing retardly stupid things to their cars. Like Ghost Cams and bits of wood in their intake.

    Atleast yours was an 8 though...

    I'm laughing at you, not with you (moreso because you cry about the younger generation, who are known for their lack of spelling, yet you can barely make a sentence)

    So you got your spoon licence? That is a major hurdle to get over, I still need the aeroplane feeding style.

    They realise once they've grown up, that they shouldn't have ;)

    To grow up in error is to grow up before learning basic life skills, such as spelling and writing?

    Pretty petty to turn the thread into ridiculing someone for a spelling error when the theme of OPs post was more than worthy of discussion.

    My first car was a GH sigma. Mods included:

    Chopped springs
    Air cleaner housing and filter replaced with flyscreen for improved response and induction noise
    My grandmas sheepskin floor rugs under the carpet on the passenger floor because I used to get sore knees when I .....well you know. Come to think of it why didnt I put them on top of the carpet? Hrm.
    One day thought the rear end would look cool jacked up so filled the rear springs with softballs, drove around for a while like that then realised I was a ########.
    Spent a fortune on fully synthetic oil because I thought it would make more power

    Theres probably more but Alzheimers is kicking in.

    Hey I'm a young one with a boat anchor!
    Dies drilling holes in your fan really make cool noise? I may try it!

    What else can I try?


    Taking donations of cash, card or full frontal nudity.
