its sooooo hard not to modify when you are a part of a forum that keeps doing group buys every so often.. haha..
but hell wen i get my bimmer trust me i'll still mod it- the mods will just cost me $h!tloads more

funky_chilli · 02-22-2007, 05:20 PM

what mods u got on ur 3 vinno?

my gf wanted to turn my car into an asian doll-mobile
i let it go the first day when i saw one little doll in the side passenger well
and also the next day when another one appeared in the little coin holder

but i drew the line when i went to her house and saw the pink hello kitty headrests and mobile phone holder sitting on her desk hahahaha

she said 'what? it'd be so cute.....'

and i was like no, and get all those other toys out of my car

they're still there to this day

but at least they're only little and they're not pink - and every time i turn a corner at speed one of them flies out and lands on its head haha

oh yeah and yes red is faster

hey funky chilli..
not many mods at the moment- all cosmetic, none performance..
i have to go thru wiring class 101 before i can install a few of them- stay tuned!

and tip- leave the window open when u go flying around the corner- let the little guys out of the car once in a while

astra · 02-22-2007, 09:45 PM

oh another stay tuned... interesting

funky_chilli · 02-22-2007, 10:11 PM

nar they're too low down to fly out the window
at most they get slammed into the door or just straight onto the floor

so what have u got cosmetically? u got rims and springs on that bad boy?

vinno · 02-22-2007, 10:24 PM

nah its all about the lights and the grille at the moment..
but have the angel eyes and new scuff plates coming..
no need to stay tuned now

funky_chilli · 02-22-2007, 11:59 PM

ur installing ur own lights? impressive bu be careful u dun stuff it up or fry urself....

vinno · 02-23-2007, 12:45 AM

Yeh I'll show u the angel eyes when you come up to Syd next- aint gonna drive down to Melbourne, we're flyyyyying.
See you March 12 man, hope u haven't got exams or anything!

Chris.G · 02-23-2007, 01:23 AM

SO wattup jiggas? i really want a meet or cruise but we need someone determined to organize it. Who is up for it?

astra · 02-23-2007, 03:40 AM

how about YOU chris? you seem to have enthusiasm...

Chris.G · 02-23-2007, 04:16 AM

yeah i tried but no one here in forum apart from moo moo was ready for a meet. So maybe someone else could try.

vinno · 02-23-2007, 07:31 AM

where is everyone in sydney located? im out for organising- too busy with work! no seriously..!

astra · 02-23-2007, 01:57 PM

north west/hills

funky_chilli · 02-23-2007, 08:00 PM

nope no exams

would be good to go out and chill with u vinno - looking forward to it mate
can u still get tickets to the grand prix? i'd love to come with

vinno · 02-23-2007, 10:02 PM

yeh u can still get tickets- we haven't actually bought them yet and prolly gonna get Johnno (daves bro) to get em for us..
We'll be getting the 4 day tickets prolly. Not sure yet, gotta look at the daily timetable on www.grandprix.com.au

vinno · 02-23-2007, 10:05 PM

Ooh.. 100th post!
Sorry jus had to do it in this thread! LOL

funky_chilli · 02-23-2007, 10:32 PM

is the motor show on the same weekend as well?

just had a look at the grand prix website, it does seem a lot better value to get a four day pass doesn't it?

i suppose ur getting general admission and none of the fancy seats in whatever whichever corner/stand?

astra · 02-23-2007, 11:35 PM

902 posts.. beat that vinno

vinno · 02-23-2007, 11:41 PM

i might jus give up now astra haha...

wils.. i think the motor show is on 2nd-12th March.. and we arrive 12th arvo- that kinda blows (I don't think there is a mini stand.. AGAIN)
Yeh 4 day is better value for sure.. and to tell the truth, i dun think dave and i will be making all 4 days tho- work committments bring us back up to Sydney to work on Saturday night

Is Mini CHASE happening in Melb this year? It was Sydney's Mini 'thing' around the same time as the motor show cos there was no mini stand. It is awesome- 2 professional drivers take you around full throttle around a built up city race track in the JCWs.. no such thing as braking- just engine braking into 1st gear from 100-40km/hr.. serious! I kept getting knocked about in the car tho with my helmet on.. Find out about it, i'd love to do mini chase again
