Is it an Ev...................................

.................

............................. oops, sorry, fell to sleep.

Evo?

Nah you could probably buy 4 or 5 Evo's for the price of this one

Paul Summers old thing?

Nah, just a CS (not that there is a huge difference as the CS has an RS box and clutch)... never seen the track or anything just some old timer in Brisbane that never let it even see 8,000rpm!

So, here's our 999 jigger! lol

Triumph TR8.... Eddy has driven it, reckons is goes good and turn 'em in 3rd and 4th! lol, I'll believe that when I see it :)

But, 400 odd horse, under a ton, and revs over 8k. So I reckon it's a bit of alright, especially with a TT fuel card :D

Should be a bit of fun at spectator points and town stages I hope!

Look at bringing one in from england as a race and rally car.

They are cheap as chups over there I believe !

That they are, and some nice examples on pistonheads too. But I wanted one that was regg'd :cheers:

Nice on Timmy.

JA sent me some footage during the week of his last TT with Greg in his Dak Dak and the most noticable thing from the footage is just how awesomely usable those cars are for this stuff. It has to be a good thing. I'm still suprised no-one has gone back and tried one of the new updated TT's as I still reckon they'd be a winner in the right hands. (Because surely by now someone has figured out the electronics!)

Well Gav bought the new car (shock horror)... SO exciting times, but not till after Targa.

I heard today that this one is moving garages after Targa, maybe just a coincidence?

EDIT: should have read further, obviously not this car

I am getting old...

I reckon you'd be doing REALLY well to get the "Showroom" Golf R anywhere near the Sshowroom" Evos that are pumping out in the vicinity of 240AWKW!

really? even in production cars the emo X are quicker in a straight line than the 290RWKW v8s....

    • Yea that's a fair assumption. I'm presuming they call them solid lifters as they have no moving parts like hydro lifters. 
    • I believe you're confusing WMI with water injection. Looking at that graph, the 93aki+WMI car is making more power than C16 race gas. Boost juice, which is what I also run, is Snow Performances 50/50 premix. 
    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
