Between the bitching I got a couple good tips, lol thanks. Damo doesnt really have a decision in what i get, cause he thinks he was in the car when it happened so its his fault, so he feels guilty, mainly because I almost cried when he told me!!

I'm just not allowed to go over $8,000. Though from everything said I am more leaning towards getting a bull shit RB25 or selling and getting a gtr, wrx, 200, something like that!!

this site is seriously turning f*ked up, stop deleteing my posts, im allowed to say that someone is shit and have evryeone hear it if i dont belive they should go there, its not slander its the truth!

just dont be biased and delete my post becuase you like him!!!

/me gets popcorn and waits for idiots to have this thread closed.....

JEBUS guys she wants TIPS and suggestions, not, OMGWTFBBQSAVING <insert workshop name here> is t0tally farked blahdy blahdy I am teh greatest expert..........

This thread reminds me of a movie I saw, a long long time ago, in a cinema far far away....

Gold Two: [the Y-wings are running the gauntlet toward the Death Star reactor-port] The guns - they've stopped!

Gold Five: [realizes why] Stabilize your rear deflectors... Watch for enemy fighters.

Gold Leader: They're coming in! Three marks and 2-10!

[Gold Two is slain by Darth Vader and his wingmen; Gold Leader starts to panic]

Gold Leader: It's no good down here, I can't maneuver!

Gold Five: Stay on target.

Gold Leader: *We're too close!*

Gold Five: Stay on target!

Gold Leader: [shouts] Loosen up!

[he too is picked off by Vader and Company; Gold Five tries to escape but is fatally winged]

Gold Five: [reporting to Red Leader] Lost Tiree, Lost Dutch... They dropped in behind us, and we couldn't maneuver in the trench. Sorry; it's your baby now. So long, Dave...

I dont know why no-one has mentioned a MIVEC engine from the mitsubishi FTO. With an RB30 head and forged conrods from HRT. My mates cousin has one putting out just under 1000rwhp on 2psi boost, but he just bought it...

ANYWAY

My serious advice, throw an RB25 with some work in it. I thrashed the living turd out of mine for 3 years and Chris is still doing the same with no major problems.

As for where to take it, I would have a talk to a few mech's and make your own mind up from there. Listening to other peoples views on any service industry is much like asking them if the eat more oranges than apples, everyone has a preference but neither is actually wrong as there are always good and bad days for each each fruit.

Rodney: There is no law saying you cannot describe a personal experience that is true. A Current Affair on channel 9 would not have many stories if this wasn't the case. It is perfectly legal for you to broadcast any personal experience that you so wish about a company if what you are describing is true, its not right for a truthfull post to be deleted in this manner. If im selling a product and it causes people to stop urinating, it cannot be taken as slander for the person who stopped urinating to stand in the street and tell other consumers the truth. ie "Smooth's Cola made me stop urinating, don't by Smooth's Cola unless you want to loose normal urine function".

I could get into more in depth legal crap, but im not that bored.

Good day. :)

In English and American law, and systems based on them, libel and slander are two forms of defamation (or defamation of character), which is the tort or delict of making a false statement of fact that injures someone's reputation. "Defamation" is however the generally-used term internationally, and is accordingly used in this article where it is not necessary to distinguish between "libel" and "slander".

You can't say someone is shit, if they’re not a pile of steaming hot poo. Clearly the person you think is shit would really be a human, and not the said pile of poo you may think they are. Thus due to the fact it could and maybe would affect there reputation outside of this Internet forum depending on who was to read the thread, and whether or not said people whom were reading the thread knew whom the person was.

Obviously my example is pretty trivial, and would probably be laughed out of court, how ever I making a point, as I’m generally right.

He lost it all when he bought the crouch rocket  :P

Something like that :(

FWIW, it's nobodys choice about what can be posted or not other than Christian's... It's his site, his rules, and not a democracy... And he says no negative comments about businesses. <--fullstop

So get over yourselves...

Ahh that felt good... /me goes and hides again...

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
