I live in Cottesloe, saw car in Mossie park... (I'm your neighbourhood RAC battery dude :-)

I work at MSC on McCabe St which is next to that place. Have seen many TVRs there but never a Tuscan. And yeah Lancia Stratos as well as many other uncommon cars. Lots of kit cars. And boats like you said.

Also saw Miles' car there ages ago jacked up getting suspension upgrade :)

These are available in Australia !

There as common as WRX's in the UK and only about GBP40K over there.

Tuscan is definately the cream of the crop for looks from the TRV stables.

Q. How you scam the thing into the country ? They wouldn't let me bring back a S8 Audi :-(

b005t: we had a green Chimaera and sold it for the tuscan cause it wasn't fast enough, they are still nice though

Kidd: The Tuscan and Chim have never had a problem and i have driven a Cerbera that lives in perth quite a few times also when we had it on loan (yes for more than half an hour) and no major problems as yet

Steve: HA, thats ok, after the lights turn green you wont have enough time to scratch your own ass when after you've been handed the chop. Your right actually your pulsar is much more pleasing to the eye, that bonnet is so sexy...

      S1 Autech 260RS Wiring Diagrams

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
