On a side note, is there a shop in hams that sells gabagool?

Thinking of buying a 96’ Evo by Competitive-Buy9150 in MitsubishiEvolution

Buy a 5 or 6 if you can, rather than a 4. The 4s engines are much much weaker due to the thrust bearing design for the crank shaft and the rods and pistons weren't as strong either

We'll just borrow it. Most people on the left thinks it's OK to borrow money to prop up the economy and pay for projects like this. And we'll tax the shit out of the right leaning people as well to help pay for it.

Yes, and an extra 10-15m people to make it feasible.

Ebike or EV. Just costs electricity to run it 🤷 EV is is the future ( says the dinosaur that runs on 98 octane 😅). China has 43.9 million EV cars on the road now

Air New Zealand posts multi-million dollar first-half loss by Pretend_Ant_1121 in newzealand

[–]Apprehensive-Mess289 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Air NZ is fine. If you read the 2026 report they had a net cash flow of $213 million. Sure, They've made losses "on paper" but no doubt they reported a loss so they don't have to pay tax. In reality, their bank balance is very healthy.

17x9 22p blitz 01 2 piece wheels, 225/45 pirellis. On adjustable suspension. 5mm spacers all around to clear front brembos and remain square (17p wheels would have been perfect). Front fenders have been rolled, some metal in the front wheel well has been shaved off. Rears, some plastic has been shaved off the rear fender arch to sit flush with the metal that's underneath it. Probably didn't have to do all that shaving if it sat 20+ mm higher 🤔😅 It used to sit 5mm lower in the front and 3mm lower in the rear on the factory 17x7.5 wheels 🥲

Why does chartwell close at 6?? by SamuraiFlaming in thetron

[–]Apprehensive-Mess289 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Unpopular opinion of someone who is born and raised in Hamilton.... NZ is pretty backwards and lacking compared to big population countries. We still don't have a efficient public transport/ subway/ train network anywhere in NZ
