rules

[SkidFace]

its not a wooden dick, its the Performanceforms Niggerdick Ashtray of Glory, and it cost me $3, have some fucking respect

lol now I have a new sig.
Everyone needs to mellow, go smoke a bong or something, I think the rules aren't too cunty seeing as the admins are adjusting etc to make it fair. We're all here for a bit of fun right? So let's have fun.

[Howard Jones]

ok weight based costings are removed... hopefully this will make more people happy, see first post for new guidelines

[big_pete]

I reckon there should be an award for 'Best Paint Scheme' or something similar.

Could be good for extra LOL's

All paint etc isnt part of the overall costs though

[Gassed250]

if rego, brakes and paint are not included in the build costs, i could enter the sigma be with in the $1300 budget and save me some headaches

Project Handicapped is starting to look like it may go stale as others aren't as keen as i am to build it

either way if im not racing then im coming to this event just to witness it

Much better idea. No more tanty from me

[ReverendWillyG]

Found out about this tonight,
And already have a few ideas on how to do it.
NA will be very hard though...
Time will tell

[MRMOPARMAN]

high 13's 'shoudnt' be too hard for most large capacity n/a family sedans (ie falcon, valiant). anything quicker than that is mega bucks!

[Eurorogerrevolution]

Does the car have to have functioning lights/horn/brake lights etc ?

[Billzilla]

Yep.

[Jim]

It needs brake lights and head lights

Please check the last part of this thread for a discussion on drag tyres. We think it would be good that since treaded drag radial tyres are allowed, that normal slicks should be too. This is just so more people can get some sticky rubber as treaded drag radial tyres are much harder to borrow/buy cheap than some old slicks.

Need a rule clarification.

I know we said you can't buy a car and then sell bits to offset the cost. But what about if you buy parts?

For example, say I buy an engine (I'm not buying an engine but we'll use this as an example) and I sell of a few bits (alternator/starter/etc) and therefore the engine owes me a lot less. Can those sold items be offset against the overall cost of the item as it pertains to the project?

Thoughts?

[lysdexia]

my view is that there's to be no cost-offsetting at all

[Mr Ed]

Whats the difference between swapping bits you dont need for bits you need and selling bits to add to your budget?

If you start with $1300 and build a car without dipping into another funds pool, whats the problem?

[HoonBoy]

I'd say no. Otherwise there is nothing stopping you buying an entire car with one good bit one it, selling the rest for more than you paid and increasing your budget. An extreme example, but I'm sure you get the idea.

[Mr Ed]

Otherwise there is nothing stopping you...

Yeah there is. About 10,000 cunts that will call you a fag and have your name struck off the competition list.

This isnt tax law FFS.

Why are you even here?

[Mr Ed]

Im here to point out why youre a fucking retard.

[Jim]

You're doing a long winded and shit job of it

[Mr Ed]

Well what the fuck do you want cunt? Is this your forum?

Dennis is a good mate of mine, its his idea, I think its awesome and I think some of the rules you cunts keep adding are fucking weaksauce so Im going to comment on it. Im not commenting on every little fucking thing you do, but you two poofs seem to be doing alot of complaining about rules/etc when the rules really dont fucking matter here.

[HoonBoy]

Opinions are like Ed's

[Mr Ed]

What? They get called to organise the picking up of diffs when Hoonboys are too fucking stupid to organise themselves and in the process of organising said diffs end up collecting free beer for doing nothing but give stupid Hoonboys money anyway because they feel guilty for taking advantage of someone stupid enough to criticise Dales work publicly on PF?

[Jim]

Did someone put the coffee spoon in your sugar jar today Ed?

[Mr Ed]

Yes and I fucking stabbed them in the eye with it.

[Jim]

Somebody needs a hug.

[Uncle]

I lolled

[HoonBoy]

I'm sure he would tell them how to hug better.

[Jim]

I don't see how it's relevant anyway as most of us are consistently ignoring any rules anyway

[blownhemi]

I'd say no. Otherwise there is nothing stopping you buying an entire car with one good bit one it, selling the rest for more than you paid and increasing your budget. An extreme example, but I'm sure you get the idea.

Actually that's not how it would work.

Say your bought a car for the motor, and want to use motor in your 13s for $1300 project. Selling the parts car doesn't affect the budget of your project car but it might offset the cost of the motor.

For example. You buy parts car for $1000, remove motor and sell parts car for $800. The motor cost you $200 and that $200 comes off your build budget. Why cost the $1000 against your build budget when you didn't use anything else off the parts car?

At the end off the day I'll play by whatever rules are set down, but I just want to know what the rules are.

[2JZR31]

For example. You buy parts car for $1000, remove motor and sell parts car for $800. The motor cost you $200 and that $200 comes off your build budget. Why cost the $1000 against your build budget when you didn't use anything else off the parts car?

It would not be impossible to to buy the parts car for $1000, remove the motor, then wreck the rest off for $1100 if you are good/lucky enough at buying and selling. Would it then be fair to say the motor cost a negative value? So in this case the motor should be regarded as cheapest realistic market value. But as I have always said. I personally could not give a fuck for implementing rules and that is only my personal opinion.
