on the topic of holdens chewing oil i over heard a conversation by 2 gen III commodore owners today at work - old mate was asking if the other guys VY was chewing oil as well.

*in a Nelson off the Simpsons voice* "HA HA"

I'll second that HA HA

my gf's honda is f**k quick. vtech's are the s**t and they bloody fly. well worth the money and they are also very very lite which works in their favour. my ef s**t all over it and thats b4 my manual conversion lol but i do have the advantage of a lot of engine work

yeah he has. ran .4 on the odometer and timed it with a stop watch.. high 11's.. f**k awesome value for money!

lol, my mate timed himself in his manual VT and got 19 seconds, I told him how unaccurate stopwatches can be in both directions.

Jap cars are more expensive because they are......well jap cars packed with technology and are imports (i don't think all are?). Vtech engines go like crazy and if they are turboed.......don't even bother. my mates integra vtech turbo gives my EL no chance of survival. how ever my EL can tow....i dont think the Integra can tow as well or at all. The prelude is basically the same as the integra with the exception that its bigger in size. Totally different cars so nothing to compare really.

Oi f**k... Welcome back.. Long time no listen to your dribble. Been on a holiday or something?



Its his money who cares. Be happy with the car you have, instead of trying to compare it to every Tom, d**k and Harry out there. They are in a totally different class than a Ford. They are an import, low volume and therefore something more special, and their resale value is generally higher for that reason.



Finally you have said something true and logical...

However, Fords in general are a dime a dozen. Fairmont Ghia's are the same, hence the lower used buy price. But it also falls into a status thing. For instance, Gen3 buyers generally have small d**k and need something to show off with. People who buy imports like this generally have a few more $$$ saved up to spend on a car, and are wanting something a little more special than the average Fafirmont Ghia.



If ever there was a doubt, you have single handedly proved to me they do exist. Thanks for that!

i think i might add to this pointless thread with my own pointless story. was driving today and saw a commodore blocking the lane with its hazards on. driver saw me and said hes buying a ford cos its the 2nd time his radiator has died in 2 weeks
