Canada is next bitches!

[Victis]

Oil sands, look it up..


Oh shit nevermind the States already own Canada.

[Tengil]

Obtaining oil from sands is an extremely inefficient process. It will only be done when there is no other means of getting oil, and by then we probably won't need it.

New prices on oil have made it worthwhile now :D

[BLACK]

Seriously, 3$ a gallon >.>

Hopefully with this new oil coming from you guys, the prices will go down.

[Grindrolas]

LOL
that was my reaction too lol, I couldn't stop laughing.

[Ist]

How about we use girls farts as fuel. Problem solved!

How hard is:

Putting the sand in water
skimming the oil from the top
get rid of the excess sand

[Articula]

that was my reaction too lol, I couldn't stop laughing.

Give her ye ol' Dutch Oven :mrgreen:

Sometimes I collect it in a jar for later use.


And do you really have a speed6? D:

[Siri]

Siri farts, true story.
lmao I wont even begin to tell my story about you mr pooter!

[Craysh]

And do you really have a speed6? D:

Yes, I do but how the hell do you know I have it? lol

[Damarus]

Is a speed6 what we in Australia call the Mazda 6 MPS? (2.4L turbo'd Mazda 6). If so, don't you guys have the Mazda 3 MPS (or speed3 I guess)? Which runs the same engine in a lighter chassis... I'd have thought this would be a more exciting car, I guess unless you wanted a bigger car (I'm a hot hatch fan :p).

I looked at getting this car (Mazda 3 MPS), but in the end I decided 190kw was a bit of a waste in a FWD, especially when I'm not racing it or anything - so wouldn't be going all out on the suspension and handling to put the power to good use. I'm most likely getting the new 6 speed Mazda 3 SP23. I figure 115kw's is sufficient in a small car that's predominantly going to be getting me to work and back, and accelerating fast and hugging corners at speeds afterthought.

[Craysh]

I love my speed6.

Speed 6 Dyno:

Speed3:
http://www.bellengineering.net/Images/Dyno/BEGi_MS3_Xede.jpg

It looks like the speed3 has better numbers but the speed6 just has so much more in terms of after market.
Both of those are stock. I can totally trounce a speed3 with my current setup.

[Damarus]

Hmm yeah I don't know much about the aftermarket prospects of either car, there doesn't seem to be a strong market for aftermarket mazda in Aus - other than the RX-7 (not even the RX-8). But mind you, we've only just started getting these cars in... So I just base what I know on the stock figures :p

Mind you I probably shouldn't, since I drive an SR20 based Pulsar that on paper has a 105kw engine but flattens 160ishkw V6's accelerating in a straight line, and around corners (thanks to the massive amount of mods available).

[BLACK]

Speed6 has 4WD

Speed3 has FWD


And I stalk you. That's how I know.


My imaginary Evo>all. :O

[Damarus]

*all wheel drive.

[BLACK]

Yeah, AWD, my bad.

Test drove it the other day. It was absolute sex.

[Talorth]

Evo 3 plz : >


I saw an r33 skyline the other day... and then I cried a little inside because I could tell the thing had been in an accident... the body was warped.

[Damarus]

All R33's deserve the same fate :)

[BLACK]

Evo IX plix.

[Damarus]

what do you think of the X so far?

http://www.channel4.com/4car/media/M/mitsubishi/evo/03-large/evo-x-f3q-a.jpg

[BLACK]

Don't like it as much as the IX...and it comes in auto...


Although I wouldn't cry if one magically appeared in my driveway.

[Damarus]

TBH I agree. I don't like the way both subaru and mitsubishi are heading with their flagship rally cars :( but also wouldnt complain if one magically appeared :p

[Talorth]

Don't like the X, I like the IV and III the best : <. IX is okay but some angles on the front look really fugly.

Yeah Subaru and Mitsubishi's rally cars aren't as pretty as they used to be imo.

But again, I wouldnt complain if one appeared in my driveway either :p.

[BLACK]

Looks aside, they are fast as hell. :P

[Talorth]

yeah i guess thats the concept behind the bugatti veyron...

so fast you cant see the ugly thing...

[BLACK]

Too bad that bitch can't handle.

[Talorth]

l7eI4vvlupY

bugatti should of made a commercial with the same concept as this except with a veyron hitting the wall...

[Grog]

lol cars

[Zelandra]

The only cars worth drooling over are the cars made by:
Lamborghini
Porsche
Ferrari
Bugatti
And a few others :>

Any company that makes any form of car under $20,000 and then has a "fancy" car (like the ones mentioned in this thread) are worthless. If you don't focus on making good cars, you shouldn't even try tbh ;o

Besides, most of them look ugly as fucking hell.

[Damarus]

I'm willing to debate the 'fancy' cars point straight up with one piece of evidence:

World Rally Circuit (WRC)


For starters the cars in questions are hardly prettied up versions of their base models. They are highly tuned, precision machines. Now yes the Evo and STi are sold as street drivers, but their purpose is to be a fine tuned rally beast.

You don't see anything other than an AWD/4WD 4 cyl turbo rallying in the manufacturers class of the world circuit now do you, why? Because cars like lamborghini's, ferrari's, etc would totally suck horse nuts at rallying.



It's possible that this would be a marginal point for you though, I'm not sure if the WRC is even a known motorsport in the US, but elsewhere it's massive.

[Inxile]

wait hasn't Alberta had oil sands for years?

[BLACK]

If you call the Evo 'fancy', you should just kill yourself. That bitch has the worst interior, and a really fucking bad ride. I still wanted it nonetheless because I can appreciate it for what it is. D:

Sure, if you are retarded. BTW, lamborghini blows ass.

[BLACK]

Lambos are so overrated...


Group B was and is the most ridiculous and dangerous racing out there. RWD+no boost restrictions+dirt roads+no barriers+crowds=some crazy shit.

[Infamous]

Show me where, on a street your going to need a car that can not only turn on dimes, and handle through curves with the best, but also haul ass?
Your not, you want something that rides nice, gets pussys wet, and goes as fast as possible, if you can do donuts, and drift and such, thats just a fucking bonus.

[Damarus]

Donuts/drift/skiddies/burnouts and going as fast as possible is for fags.

Precision control and handling, effortless cornering under load and acceleration that throws you into your seat. This is what a car needs to do...

Burnouts, sitting at traffic lights with your sub woofers blaring and straight lines are for bogans.



Having said that though, a large factor in my opinion on this matter would probably be the area I live in:
http://maps.google.com.au/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=hawkstone+road+roleystone&sll=-25.335448,135.745076&sspn=21.431405,35.244141&ie=UTF8&ll=-32.131686,116.147289&spn=0.009849,0.017209&t=k&z=16&om=1

Or this, a leg from the Rally Australia round of the WRC (which is probly a 30 minute burn from my house):

Holy shit that's awesome. For fun, I do track days at Sebring, which is around 30 mins away from me.

[Inxile]

so derailed what was victis talking bout in original thread.

[BLACK]

Nothing, this is a car discussion.

[Damarus]

Lol exactly, no one cares about Canada :p


What's Sebring btw? I can't be arsed looking it up :p

[BLACK]

Sebring International Raceway?


Sebring Raceway is one of the oldest continuously-operating race tracks in the United States (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States), its first race being run in 1950 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1950). Many consider Sebring to be one of the classic race tracks in North American (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_America) sports car racing (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sports_car_racing), and the 12 Hours of Sebring (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/12_Hours_of_Sebring), 24 Hours of Daytona (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/24_Hours_of_Daytona), and 24 Hours of Le Mans (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/24_Hours_of_Le_Mans) to be the trifecta (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trifecta) of sports car racing (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sports_car_racing).

The course of the track is 3.7 miles (5.95 km) long. It is a seventeen-turn road course with long straights, several high-speed corners, and very technical slower corners. Many of the turns and points along the track are named for the early teams and drivers. There is very little elevation change around the track and little camber (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camber) on the surface, providing a challenging track for drivers, especially when it rains.
Sebring is renowned for its rough surface. The course still runs on old sections of World War II (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_II)-era landing fields that were constructed of concrete sections with large seams. The transitions between sections are quite rough and often, sparks fly from the undercarriages of the cars as they traverse them. Much of the track has intentionally been left with its original concrete runway surface. The track surface has 2.4 miles of asphalt and 1.2 miles of concrete.[6] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sebring_Raceway#_note-5)






Sebring is most notable for hosting the 12 Hours of Sebring (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/12_Hours_of_Sebring), sanctioned at various times by the FIA (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F%C3%A9d%C3%A9ration_Internationale_de_l%27Automob ile), IMSA (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Motor_Sports_Association), and now, the ALMS (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Le_Mans_Series). The track also hosts the Historic Sportscar Racing (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Historic_Sportscar_Racing&action=edit) series, and is home to the Audi Driving Experience (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audi_Driving_Experience). Many Champ Car (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Champ_Car) and sports car (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sports_car) teams use Sebring for winter testing due to the warm climate.

[Damarus]

Ahhh ok sweet. I don't follow international racing close enough to know the names of tracks and shit :p I've probly seen it before. I only really follow the Australian Supercar series and the WRC - the only two that get good coverage on free to air TV here.

[BLACK]

WRC is the sex. We don't get it here. I think we should replace NASCAR with WRC.

[Damarus]

I've only really seen NASCAR in movies and shit, but it looks boring. Is it really all just oval tracks? One of our best Supercar drivers moved to the US for NASCAR, I guess there was a big pay rise for him or something. His name is Marcus Ambrose. Any idea how he's doing? lol...


Yeah WRC makes me moist. I used to go and watch it whenever it came round - Use local knowledge to sneak passed restricted zones, take photos at checkpoints and shit. Now they've moved it from Perth to the other side of Australia T____T

Myself, i'm more of a rally nut than anything else.

LOL I read an interview with him, and he was talking about how much harder it is to drive NASCAR, because of the limited grip, unlimited lines etc. He was right in the sense that it is harder to drive, but a shitload more boring to watch. He's doing ok, but got rocked the other day.

[Damarus]

Ahaha that'll learn him. He was season champion before he left for the US, wonder if he's enjoying losing :p

[Victis]

My daddy lets me drive the car on track days!!

[BLACK]

LOL not even daddy. Daddy hates track days. It's a friend's daddy.



Ahaha that'll learn him. He was season champion before he left for the US, wonder if he's enjoying losing :p

Yeah, probably thought it would be easy to drive an oval for 500 laps.

I might have gotten one had the dealership agree'd to take off the wing that is the spoiler :roll:

[BLACK]

I like it better with than without, although you made the right choice with the MS6. I wouldn't use the Evo as a DD car.

I knew that was coming the second after I posted it. LOL

I still <3 the Evo, even if it isn't good at dealing damage. D:
