The Bogan

I feel I keep getting drawn to a MX5. Im not interested in trying to make big power anymore, a well set up and reliable car is all I crave now. When I grow up I want to be like Chubbs.

And I have the sads. I still haven't found anything to build yet, stupid money and stuff...

LOL, not much boost, that's how you know when you own a mans car, when 20ish psi is f**k all.

What he said. And no I haven't got anything in the garage yet, soon maybe but not yet. STUPID CARS

My kids miss this car, they would always ask me to "crack the gate" when I dropped them of somewhere so their friends would go "oh ah", I do miss it on the odd occasion as well, like on track days, Wednesday nights. cruises, drives up the mountains.....etc. etc. BTW the rims look good painted. Good luck with the sale.

I had a FENIX rad, cost $250 a couple of years ago and was a great fit, could still use the shroud as well. Did lots of track days and drags and never had a over heating issue, only problem was driving up the mountains with 0 deg temps when the coolant temp dropped so far I thought the sensor was broken. There is a tread in the SAUNSW members sponsors area. http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/314551-great-deals-on-radiators/

Mine had a shield/guide but it also had a 100mm hole in the guard with some NACA duct tubbing from under the air filter shield to the front grill, plus there is a heap of air voids around the front headlight to allow air to flow inside the air box if it has a opening on the front side behind the headlights. No good for the ARC box I believe though, but good for a enclosed pod set up. LOL, just saying.

You could be fooled into thinking the Taxi is stock, but it has had $40 worth of intake mods done to it, Upper Typhon CAI intake with a lower " MLR Spec" CAI, which adds about 3 cred points, it has the unrestricted Territory intake pipe which only adds 1 cred point because if you are not looking for it you would not know the difference, It has also had the rear muffler removed for added noise which easily adds another 5 cred points. I did fit some big arse adjustable sway bars so it doesn't fall over or understeer anymore but as you cannot see them they are not worth and cred points. So with all the mods to date it is putting out a extra 9 cred points "ATG" (at the gutter) over stock.

The Taxi, 190 KW........................ at the spark plugs

On old drag radials when I still owned it. Stupid cars

QBE $505

When ?????? Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Donuts

Lovely T curve, when you change at 65 it should put you right in the fatty area of the T. I am super keen to watch and listen to this thing punch through the gears. Be careful with that gearbox.

SWEET

Have you got a graph with the torque curve?

But how will a 1500hp car go doing cruises, hill climbs, circuit days, TEXI and such.<br /><br />Pauls car should/will be a excellent all-rounder.<br /><br />And unlike the other 95% of big power Skylines out there I dare say it will be used in anger on the black stuff, and I don't mean boosting on the public roads.

It WILL be well into the high 130mph and low 10's If my RWD boat could do a 11.080 @134 mph a 4WD with the power that his has will love that shit. How many runs till he gets booted for doing 10's is the real $64,000 question. I will bet a coffee on the third run, 1st will be a nice easy take off and shake out, 2nd will be with a bit of boost backing off at half track, 3rd will be BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATSHBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATSBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATSBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA Tell me when its on and I will be there with bells on, I will even bring the Ford and race them for coffee and/or donuts. Disclaimer: In a 150ishkw taxi I will only race for reaction time

My 2530 with stock cams and vct was running over 500 hp.

I miss my boat. I did love that Capri though. On another note I wasnt allowed to go back down the pass as the minister of war and finances and the eldest girl got car sick. It was a fun trip home....

I might see some of you guys at the pie shop, Im packing the clan in the Ford and heading there for lunch. Pies are good food.

Sounds like a plan mate, give me a call for timings. My Sat session will be bike ride to work then mainly compound; Squat Bench Row Mil Press Deads With some S/S of; Curl & Tri Press X Overs & Pulldowns If we are doing the challange I will need to do that first as I will busted after my session.

This sounds like one of my work training sessions, only thing missing is 20 meter sprints between exersizes, and doing it for 40 minutes. I usually break at least 1 lung and sprain my heart muscle doing it though, vomiting is always a option as well. I managed 15 good heaves, no selfies though so no count, Joey, hit me up next time your at the school, weight session then beers.

4.0 LTR

I now have a sad, but the guy who got it seems like a good car guy and Im sure he will have as much fun as I did with it.
