haha, nice comments except the stabbing eyes out one :P rang em just then and they aint even got it started yet, and now tommorow at the earliest :( i been sitting round all day twiddling my thumbs waiting for em to call as they said its a 30-45 min job, and now i gotta wait, arhhh pisses me up the wall all these farkin delays :)

so tommorow hopefully, or maybe even monday as i might not be able to pick it up tommorow night as im workin about 70km from home and we dont finish to 4pm or so :O

im sick of cars and the damn setbacks :O

anyway, cruise over anytime alex, etc ill take ya's for a spin, if its operating correctly :)

I notice you still have the wheels youve always had.........dont they hit the suspension?

hey mate yer same wheels, just raised the suspension abit to allow clearance :D i really need some 19s or 18s to fill the wheel arches as they still sit well above the tyres, but power is always more important than appearance :turned:

"but power is always more important than appearance "

Yep, funny that.

I looked at honestly about 100+ different wheels from Jap, to Euro, to Copies, to Stock and everything seriously.......and after 2 months, I spent $500 on 4 wheels....saved me some cash for other stuff :turned:

good stuff, i reckon who cares what other people can see (wheels, bodykit, etc) i'd much rather an ear to ear grin when i plant my foot :) and people still look but with their jaw almost touching the floor, hehe i love it :P

    • Thanks mate, couldn't find in VIC, ended up ordering one from NSW, getting rwc to get new plates and registration done.
    • Before all the EFR fan boys come in, have a look at: https://www.garrettmotion.com/racing-and-performance/performance-catalog/turbo/g-series-ii-g30-825-58mm/ It also comes in a T4 1.06 divided housing. I would dare say if you want response & also decent power, this thing would chop.   AND apologies, just re-read your post, you've already bought the turbo... whatever you do, make sure you stick with divided housing and proper twin scroll manifold.
    • People have got to stop doing that. ShatGPT is not a search engine. It is a hallucination factory.   I also would recommend the 1.05. The .83 will "work" for you , in that it will be more responsive, but I think you'll find that it won't be anywhere near as good running it out to 8000rpm as the big housing will be.
    • Decided for the first time ever I would tow my car TO the track day on the same working theory as bringing tools and spares "if I have it I wont need it, but if I leave it behind i will 100% need it" all setup and ready to go out and try these A050 for the first time First session showed I needed to stiffen up the dampers a touch but still managed a few 1:21's without much effort. things were looking good. Came in a dropped the tyres down  to 26/28 as they had gotten to 35/33C from 22C cold The first lap of session two I managed to drop into 1:20's. Then in the second lap into the second session. Coming into T3 and I suddenly lost brake pedal followed by some huge rear end vibrations and scraping sounds. Got it back into the pits after session ended and found this. in the attached video, all of the wobble is in the hub its self, wheel is mint, and bearing feels tight. lKXLqpd - Imgur.mp4   Deciding it was a bent spindle I tried to find bearing/hub assembly locally but was unsuccessful so it was loaded back onto the trailer i luckily brought it on to drag it back home
