yikes, how do you go about obtaining one legally there?

I was thinking you were an Aussie originally though, but that sounds pretty harsh anyway.

yupe, It is possible I guess but you'll have to go through a very long process of paper work which is then put under a evalutation by some ministry which I'm unsure of..dude over here you even need a license for a BB gun !!!LOLOLOLOL..

Anyway,I was told that to those who owns guns here would have to report everytime they fire a shot and would go through a yearly gun and ammo inspection..where every single bullet have to be accounted for..

You'll also get the death sentence for Drug trafficking or when caught with a certain amount of drugs that would consider you as a trafficker.

I've got a silly question:

What's the affinity between Guns and Ramones? I mean I've seen numerous pics of guys holding guns while sporting a Ramones T shirt...LOLOL..Ramones Gun Club?

Model 629 with a 4" barrel? Hard to tell the size of the frame the way the picture is taken. Maybe I'll dig up the pic of me in the mountains holding an M16.

undertaker: wow..Do you have a Stagea with an RB26DETT in it? Was you car once featured in High Performance Imports ?

Post by **jdmfreak** » Mon May 12, 2003 12:41 pm

Yea I was refering to you, but nevermind. I decided to finally check the first page earlier, but I forgot to post my comments after I looked at the pics.

Comments-I WANT YOUR CARS!!! Wanna trade for a 95 Maxima?

Yeah I have a 260RS, not as modified as the one in HPI; standard body kit, mines chip, apexi pods, hks 3" and lowering springs. Its really cool

Post by **SKAGEE** » Mon May 12, 2003 12:41 pm

undertaker: cool..is yours an Autech version as I recalled correctly they only come only up to RB25DET? Man, thats a really cool ride to have..Price wise ,are they more expensive as compared to the Skyline GTRs? Please do post pics of it!

Nope. BDU's and combat boots.

Post by **undertaker** » Mon May 12, 2003 12:41 pm

SKAGEE: mine is a 260RS Autech version, the best Nissan version has the 25DET and i think they are all auto. They cost a little more than a comparable GTR but the hardest thing is finding a good one.I don't have any good pics yet but I'll definately post some when I do.

Post by **BB Turbo** » Mon May 12, 2003 12:41 pm

Pics undertaker!

SKAGEE, bad *** collection of cars.

nope, this is straight M29, it's got a nickel finish:D

as far as the Ramones shirts go, I couldn't really tell you on that one, most people I've seen that wear them would more then likely be gun shy or just anti gun.

JDM, I'd so take that Ford if I was given an oppurtunity.

show fools here that they should fear the Escort. AWD turbocharged goodness. Perhaps Ford will throw their hat into the ring and bring us the good Focus to compete with the Evo and STi.

Post by **SKAGEE** » Mon May 12, 2003 12:41 pm

undertaker: Am I correct to say that the Autech Stagea are limited in production. Are Stageas common in NZ? I have yet to see one on the roads here, though they did use one (RB25DET) as a pace care for the recent Japan GT in Sepang here. How much HP could the auto transmission take?

Mr1der: Thanks for the compliment..at least someone likes it too...

. I'm afraid the Focus only comes in a front wheel drive , Zetec 1.8 turbo version with tons of torque steer at the moment. Would you know when is the Cosworth version due?

JDM;It took me 8 years to save up for my first GTR and was driving a 1984 Nissan sunny for a while before that..LOLOL..

Post by **Mr1der** » Mon May 12, 2003 12:41 pm

I figured they'd have had an awd turbo on the market by now...

I don't keep up on them too much being as I can't buy one here:(

you guys should visit General chat some time, it'll give you an oppurtunity to observe Americans in our natural enviroment:D

Fellow Ford owners gotta stick together:)

Post by **SKAGEE** » Mon May 12, 2003 12:41 pm

Mr1der: I'm afarid there's nothing exciting coming out of Ford(uk) nowadays. There's only a handful of Ford Escort Cosworth running around here and one of them is a fullly done up by Graham Goode ( a famous UK tuner that's now moved to working on Subarus..LOL)..pushing 450hp..which in the early 90's was considered as ungodly amount of power!!:).Handling I was told wasn't that good, with alot of typical 4WD understeer but with looks like that , who cares. I was informed that used mint Escort Cosworth were selling at prices above its new purchased price, hence it was a perfect target for car thieves in the UK.

Honestly speaking, I reckon there aren't that many car manufacturer that could match the EVO and WRX in the performance 4WD market nowadays. With the huge selection of aftermarket parts for these cars, I find it hard for someone even like Ford to come in and compete with them. How is it in the States? Out of the two which tends to be more popular?
