haha, mine's in 2WD at the moment, getting ready for a dyno hopefully......I'd have to be suicidal to give it too much right now. I hit it hard at just over 60kph the other day and it got sideways on dry road almost immediately. If I fang it with a slight ripple in the road right now its too much of a handfull.

chad, would be interesting to see how she does in 2wheel drive, id say nowhere too fast lol...not in a straight line anyways. Im up for hillzy when you are mate.

you'd be suprised how much grip it still gets, my coilovers a fair soft, so it grips well, wont even spin the rears when boost hits in second gear, keen as for the hills, might have to get Jenkies to organise another Gorge mission, but i think i'll keep it in 4wd, i seem to still get sidway with it on. :D

impressive pete. geez, mine is a handful with 260rwkw, let alone that much...can i ask where you ended up choosing to get it tuned?

I haven't decided yet Ryan.......I want someone who knows PFC's backwards but doesn't want my children as payment, lol

yeah I think my very stiff suspension doesn't help because it lets go of the rear every time in 2nd as it starts to boost and I don't think the Attessa Pro likes it too much.

If your talking about hills, im up for it when i get my suspension done, trust me i do know how to drive.. Tom was enjoying the nice easy drive cough cough this morning while we were late for school.

doesn't matter if you can drive out there! depends on if you can keep up to some of these nut cases :)

but Pete..... isn't it more fun breaking traction like that? :banana:

its ok if it keeps some sort of reasonable line, but this thing just snaps too quick to be fun so I'm looking forward to 4WD again

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • 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 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
