its pretty common around my area to see the boys in dere magnas lol... its rather funny when they really think that they have a chance...

what i dont get is people go out spend god knows what on a standard lancer magna etc... put massive kits on it 17/18" rims that are chrome usually black tints and the typical stickers displayed on the back window and think they are driving a sports car after they have just spent anywhere between 18k and 25k in total to have a riced up magna/lancer that really never sounds any good... just go out and buy a god damn sports car... seriously

i dont have the rims or really many mods just basics. my car is pretty much stock and yet they still feel the need to take me on...

as for a previous comment about a girl in a black series 2... just goes to show how immature she really was and you can only bet she doesnt know what she is doing...

I have a manga, fire blue :( , awesome condition, late 1978 release, after market goodies include;

Momo steering wheel

Stainless exhaust tip

HKS Air Filter

recent oil change

Sony cd stacker (with surround sound speakers)

Its not quite as nice as the above mentioned Verada but it certainly pulls its weight down around the track. Took it to Barbagello, did a 3:13:58 on my third lap. Quite impressed. I know everyone bags us manga boys and alot of the time for fair cause but there are a few of us out there that aren't idiots, I am here to tell you I am one of the acceptable few.

If you guys have any questions give me a shout. Will try and get some pictures up soon for your viewing pleasure!

Peace out

:(

    • Given you're running a 2.8 and my 2.5 is not really like for like, I suspect there could be a bit more timing you could give it. What is the kW yield per degree you're putting through it? Here's my E85 map to give you an idea, where it was I could still get another 3~4kW per degree thrown at it.  
    • It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.
    • Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts. 
    • Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha
    • Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
