i was behind 85URK,. was there a car in front ? LOL... my head was probably freezed by the cold wind as i was the only one who wasn't wearing a jacket.

yeah michelle's subi liberty, (green with gold rims) was parked in front of us roger. she was the girl i was talking to at the table also Andrew (A>K>A STEVE).personal joke. anyway later last nite we went up for a mountian run! was pretty cool. went up dulong and back through landsborough.

On another note the new mazda MPS are surprisingly quick.

that was you i waved to at the BP servo near the high school wasnt it shnaped_second??

and those mazda's should go alright with 260 bhp / 194 KW @ 5500 rpm and 4wd system.

yeah they look very similar.(waits for punch in the arm) rofl its like a 97 shape non turbo one roger.

oi :P

Maybe you need your eyes checked :D I had to leave a park inbetween me and 85URK cuz I didn't want him hitting me on his way out :D

Yeah that was me, just fillin up b4 we headed home, That mazda was definately a suprise, was keeping up with him the first time round then he must have fully reved it and dumped it off the lights and launched... makes me look like i was standing still but was still fun

Did you see me too??? I was in front :D In da subi!!

Nah didn't notice a subi..... saw 85URK then 17DIS then a blue s13 then a gap then 3 car behind.... 33 and some others i think a 180 maybe??

thats the awd for ya. id say they will be one of the few sleeper cars around. the new ford focus XR5 turbo will be a hot little car aswell. its got a 5 cylinder turbo motor based on a volvo engine. it has sumthing like 226hp but its fwd. itll still go hard though.

    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
    • What ECU are you running? This is probably the biggest question. If it's a PowerFC, I'd probably change the ECU and get something newer that will handle the injectors in a nicer way.
