Hmm yeah i noticed that its gone a bit quiet too lately... i just put it down to fuel being hell expensive we dont get to flaunt money on the car so much.  Heaps less frequent cruises this year too.
Think its died a little on many of the car forums though, not just here.

maybe i have the wrong outlook at the moment, but think the world has got a little boring lately.  All this war crap, still no rain, still John Howard, still high petrol prices, i'm still at uni/still no money, still havent sorted out my girl troubles (who ever does?) so yeah, nothing new to speak of.  But i just speak for myself there, I needed to have a bit of a bitch.

Maybe you should organise a cruise for you're local state.. something new and exciting  ;D

The rare'er the better i say, (cept when u need parts). But like all old cars, they are worth more in parts than they are as 1 working car.

Not enough of the good stuff is going on. Not enough modding, bodykitting etc.

Maybe its the looks... maybe its the age. Either way... people just dont like U12's. But quite frankly... Fuckem.

Imma be different and show all these mofo's that CA20 can produce decent power. Pffttt SR20 this and SR20 that... Bah.

Radical thinking. Thats what this place needs.

Yeah unfortunately as soon as someone does any radical thinking we all put them down and go OMFGOSH YOUR A RICER YOU [language filter smackdown]GOT YOU CANT DO THAT!
and thats why we all have cars that are modded the same, and look the same, and perform the same, and oh wow! how unique :X

I agree to an extent. There have been so many wankers come onto these forums with some of the stupidest ideas over the years that a lot of people have got sick of it. Too many people say "i'm going to do this..." but never come up with the goods. This is why i think a lot of people are quite critical.

Theres a difference between radical thinking... and being a ricer.

one of the reasons I love this place is because it has something that no other forum has... Style.

We have guys here who are engineers, designers, fabricators... etc... these guys have the know how to do what they say... and say what they do. 9 1/2 Inch monster tachos with shift lights are nothing special. Silvia fronts transplanted on a pinnie... thats hardcore. Individual Throttle bodies are hardcore. Big brake upgrades. Etc Etc Etc.

As Xedus101 said... to many people say im gunna do this im gunna do that. This place is slow... because its hard to do anything with a model that no-one mods.

Get up, and do something. Anything. If you like it, thats that. If someone doesnt.... then he/she can go in a different direction...

maybe we should create an antrx project car. that might generate a bit of excitement and pride and satisfaction. too far out there i think tho, unpractical

I'd love a dedicated project car.

Maybe build up a Track Bluebird Attesa or something.

If I were doing that, I'd be putting big antrx decalage on it ;D

Well, just sell your U12 FWD's and buy U13 ATTESA's or something like that... :P

Thats what everyones doing!  As I have already said, the AWD focus of these forums is changing fast with more of us driving Bluebirds.  Project section is racing along at times, with people performing major modifications.

That is true, but it is a case of same shit, different day.
I can count on one hand the number of people who are in the process of doing something different, or have done it.

Personally, all the work i'm doing requires custom fabrication, which takes time and money if i can't do it myself; ie welding aluminium. Most days i can't be fucked doing anything after work, i know i can wait for what i'm building. I never had the urge or desire to borrow a stupid amount of money to finish my U12. It's a long term project, and i treat it as one.
To some degree there is an air of disappointment or negativity on mods i am doing or going to do, simply because i'm disappointed by how the mods i have done have performed. So with that frame of thinking, i usually don't bother doing any work on the car until i am in a positive mood to do so.
My U12 is a hobby, therefore my life doesn't revolve around it.

I'm only here because my Corsair happens to be my first car. If I had the money, I'd get myself a Skyline/300ZX/200SX or something like that. I'd rather have a stock R33 than a heavily modified U12...   *waits for negative karma.*

to some extent I agree with SAIUN, but by the same token...where is the fun in that!

After owning 2 different trx's for 3 years I can say that I have never had a 'bad week' with my car. Sure it shits me to tears sometimes when something breaks, or when I put my foot down under 2500rpm and get the better half of a japanese midgets nose worth of power. But in a way antrx has spurred me on to stick with it. There were a few times over the past few years, particularly when my first trx got written off that I was tempted to jump ship and get a silvia. Thank god I didn't.

Even with the standard stage 1 mods my car has it still gets obvious glances most days, and it stands out in shopping centre carparks thats for sure. it all comes down to individuality and character which is what the car and the forum has. Go over the nissansilvia.com and hot4s.com and you'll get the same shit over and over and over again. You'll also get the 17 year old wankers who had a 40 thousand dollar car given to them and so they go onto the forums thinking they are the shit. Most of us here has bought our U12's with our own hard earned, so we actually appreciate them for what they are.....


anyway, I'm gonna stop there because its getting all mushy and shit. But I don't think many of you will find a forum with atmosphere like antrx.
First a Silver TRX, then a White TRX...whats next? Game Boy-Clear style TRX?

I find it funny that ANTRX was half the reason I bought my first TRX, other half was the car looks.  Just the atmosphere on here was brilliant, and everyone seems happy to help.  But anyway... We are reaching the point where unless you are spending big $$$ on the U12 or taking forever to do it, its doesnt bring a great deal of excitement to the forum :(
ITB's, VG30's, KA-T's now thats exciting... When i first joined, excitement was CAI's, swaybars and clear indicators.

Still I love the TRX, it still gets a look from people when driving through town.  :)
