Aussie and Euro styling compliments rectangular, oval or twin exhausts style.

I can't agree with that. I hate altezza lights full stop. They look shocking on just about any car they're put on. Also I think the same about cannons. They look cheap, and if I had a Skyline, it would never recieve a cannon. I'd go for twin tips or something a bit more subtle

[big_pete]

i hate those cars with 60billion reflectors stuck all over them, in the door jams, along the bottom sills - everywhere. so ugly and so pointless

as for ricer mods, the fully hektik rear wing always brings a laugh

[monkeydog]

I like airhorns, general lee style (dixieland), always get a laugh when I hear one go off.
Or, AHHH HOOOOOOOOOOO GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR

[doofdoof23]

hey broze i done some more foooly sik modz on my heKTik ride

[RIPGMH]

Windscreen washer jets with blue globes attached to em'. Its a sad look

Lowered cars with the black factory wheels bolted on, where's the hubcaps?

Take off the hubcaps, add the oxy acetelyene

Um, I have an Autometer tacho, in front of my (diconnected) standard tacho and my car is auto, but no shift light! Is this OK or should I be worried? :
That Fairlane rear wing is enough to make the original owner turn in his grave, ewwww.

[RIPGMH]

The majority of quick cars have auto's, alot also have monster tacho's. I guess it all depends on if its warranted, ie do you really need a 5" tacho and shift light on a 250 crossflow xf? (not that there aren't some quick 250's out there)

What if it's a Manual, without an indash tacho?

2 reasons why I wanted too put a monster tacho in my VL.

1: Because I liked the look of them.

2: I wanted to see what rpm I was shifting at and it's better than looking at a clock.

I should've just got a Calais dash though.

[RIPGMH]

What I'm trying to say is that if you have reason for an aftermarket tacho, then it doesn't look out of place. my problem is when you throw a 10,000 rpm tach into a bog stock VB that's flat out reving past 5k.

Now that's FULLY sik!

I know what you mean. I keep seeing this VN Executive with a Group A bodykit and VZ SS panels with the little vent under the indicator. All w@nk factor IMO.

[ThoR_]

I can imagine that conversation. :

"Yeah mate, I was flooring it, a rammed her into 3rd at 4:03:27, and into 4th at 4:03:41, I was flying mate!"

[RIPGMH]

I think Autometer have kinda cheapened their image by introducing "affordable" gauges like Autogauge. Fast and the Furious haven't helped them either or NOS for that matter. But I guess they've made more money.

[Jeeepers]

Monster Tachs, without doubt the poxiest thing to add to any car. :

[Doogstar]

What I can't understand is the lowered drivers seat mod. I often see guys in VN's and other cars, that have there seat so low, they can hardly see over the steering wheel or out the side window. They look like little kids driving dad's car.

What's the attraction with that??

Is it supposed to give them a lower centre of gravity or are they just dwarfs driving them?

[normxb]

Yep , I'm with you guy's with the Tacho's , I've got a 10,000 VDO Tacho on the dash of my FC Holden (sorry for swearing on AFF) but then again it's got a 192 , triple SU's , 40/80 cam & I was always spinning the old 8G Smiths off the end . : ( Got a piston with bent up bigend to prove it : )

Don't know if you can still get them , but on eBay you used to be able to buy a fitting to put "in" your exhaust that " Gives You A REAL Turbo Sound" Mmmm Rice or what !

I was in Yass today & followed a grey Lancer & guess what ..Twin 3" (guess) cans out the back . Wasn't game to give him a "run" , must have had Awsome power :nutsycuck

[MITCHAY]

I got a 9000rpm tacho stock : And it's in the middle of the cluster where it should be :P

I'd never put in an aftermarket one unless I didn't have one to begin with.

Since I wont ever buy an old car I don't have to ever worry about getting flamed

[TUF_302]

I hate the spinner hubcaps so much, they make any car look crap!, all of the other things are bad to tho!

[nugget378]

Heres the worst ive seen,saw it near the M5 at Padstow the other day.

Enjoy :

Now im being serious here, but ALOT of modded commy drivers are short-*****. Yeap its a huge generalization but its true, and for some stupid reason they have their front seat leaning against the back...LOL

You forgot the dog with the bobbing head on the rear parcel shelf!

Of course if you have the Fluffy Dice the dog is a must!
