Nice.. A mate from work has just picked one up.

It looks like these are set to be the next VL turbo for sure.

that was pretty much the word as soon as they said they would release a turbo model... wise move ford

yeah she should do the job still got the r33 for now contemplating whether to sell it or not...basically I got this cause I wanted something with simialr go to the r33 but newer and less cop bait..this should be ok...i hope..

Well I've ahd to wait another day for her..which was disappointing but as long as everything goes well.. it'll be in ym hands sometime this arvo..then ill take her for a spin up th dandeongs..weather permitting.. if its too damp I don't wanna tempt fate since I don't know the car that well just yet..but i'll update you all as to how she goes..

for now Im gonna keep it stock..but eventually a stage 3 kit from CAPA looks liek the way to go... FMIC, Capa Flash Tuner, Injectors, fuel pump and Cold air intake for around 3k and netting around 340kw atw seems like a decent upgrade to go along with the exhuast it already has...

well guys picked her up yesterday after some stuuffina round..but I love it..few lil niggly problems I have to get fixed (but thats the beauty of your brother being a ford mechanic)....she goes hard and handles pretty good..haven't given it a real test yet but without the traction control on she sure likes to spin the wheels..1st 2nd and 3rd on dry road..I was quite impressed..

im comparisson to the r33 I think this has power through the entire range where as I noticed my 33 had a lot of grunt off the line but tended to die at the top end...not sure if ANYONE CAN BACK ME UP WITH THAT COMMENT BUT JUST FROM AN INTIAL OBSERVATION...

oops sorry hit caps and couldnt be shagged deleting and re-writing :P

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
