Hoon69,
unless that commodore had a new paintjob and changed his rego and wheels, it's not the same car. compare the two. the biggest difference is on the above VT the two stripes are on the left. the lower VT has them centred. the lower VT has a bigger zorst tip whereas the above has a stock zorst

Every owner of these cars needs a visit from Chuck Norris so he can deliver a huge round house kick to the face.

Today I saw an EA with an exhaust that looked like it was inspired by a trumpet. I would have taken a photo but the owner walked up to it just as I was about to. Anyway, excuse my Paint drawing but it sort of looked like this:

I think Hoon69 was talking about the black Nissan when he was saying that stuff about the car being the same and having 300 to 400hp

MY RICE!!!!!!!


Sorry bout the average pic but its the only one i have. The laser is a bit of a sleeper to, it originally only had the 1.3L in it but we put the 1.5L in it with twin carbs. It still has the 1.3 badges on the front guards sos we can blow off all the other ka lasers from the lights lol

Hm, to me that "Honda Beemer" looks a bit photoshoped when you look around the tail lights, also the "Merc Honda" is lowered in the second pic near the wheel. Or is that supposed to be the same car cause they have diff rims! Im confused.

Absolutely serious, these cars cost a fair bit to modify like that, more then most people can afford for an unfunny joke.

I had an enormous dose of rice last night as I trekked down George Street at around midnight. Some of those cars make me want to puke.

just curious. would it be fair to say that it is a trend that will die out in the end???

i mean, i consider myself open minded when it comes to cars. but i would much rather spend $$$ restoring an old Ford or its counterpart rather than a... say... 1977 toyota corona, or whatever???... so is it fair to say that all the rice we see these days will be gone (soon hopefully) and maybe one day we'll see more muscle down the main streets of major cities rather than rice?
