like a ferarri wagon dude. Looks sharp as a tac.

Thanks Quikstagea,

I likes the girl. She's gonna get plenty of TLC as soon as I can drum up some cash. Right now I'm waiting for the Tax man to send me whats mine so I can get her in for a service.

Yeah looks great Daniel, will have to catch up soon and have a look-see.

Tell em about your power output, then they'll be jealous.

:laugh:

Thanks Brendan, yeah definitely have to catch up, may have to organise an SA stagea cruise in the new year.

The car is making 191awkw, but I'm looking to do more things to it in the next few months. Engine will be rebuilt with forged pistons, plus turbo upgrade, cams, injectors etc. If things go to plan it should be making 250+ kw.

Ian, great choice of colour, I wouldn't think there would be too many red S2's around.

You lucky, lucky man, Brett - that thing is a weapon!

Congratulations on your purchase, and welcome to your new addiction!

I'm guessing the car is staying in Sydney, right? You just missed out on the cruise we had. Andy rang Jay that day, but I think Jay was working.

Link to the cruise is HERE.

does have a catch can, jay gave me one with the salealong with a gearbox short shifter and all other junk, sweet as thanks guys, and no im not in sydney im on the mid north coast 4 hours away... but ill be goin to as many cruises as possible...

VERY NICE RIDE

Pity u didnt get his numberplates....?

Im glad there are a couple of quick cars in ur 'previous rides' list, cos that stagea would be a lot to handle with the pedal down.

yeah fair enough... its a fair bit for sure. The number plates i want are $2200. WAGGIN. ut at least i get to keep em as long as i want.

Love the steering and horsepower comments in your sig, man. Drive safe!! lol

    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
    • Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
    • You just need a different blue slip shop (preferably one you regularly use as a mechanic), and make sure the coil overs are as close as possible to standard height
    • yeah the sugar refining companies were pushing for the same in Oz originally, all fuels were going to have 10% ethanol to make them "cheaper" (noting, that the loss in l/100 might be greater than the decrease in price). I guess they won that fight in Canadia
