you have my sympathy however...

i wouldnt worry to much about it, from all my breakups and shit the next girl ive been with was better than the last

there are plenty out there and i wouldnt stress about it, its over move on enjoy life

That's true, but I didn't break up with her because she wasn't good enough or anything.

This girl was amazing. She would do anything me, she was 110% gorgeous, career planned out and a heart of gold... but I just decided that at this stage in life I don't want to be held back in any way. I want to get serious about my music and career (which could be leading places soon).

I also lost alot of friends because I was seeing her instead.

So yeah... In short, I needed the freedom. It's good so far, just a bit lonely :) Will be depressing sleeping alone and waking up without her.

Wheelspin in every gear except 5th. Yep, fun :)

Awww, I thought I was cool wheel spinning 1st 2nd and partially 3rd :) But mine is NA.. with like 125rwkw.

But hey, that power figure is huge. The power/weight ratio must be insane. How much does the car weigh?

I'm getting my new MR2 in a week or so. Weighs around 1150kg (with potential to shed more) and engine puts out 180kw stock. It's had a few mods (IC, fuel pump etc.) and running 15psi.

Should be pretty quick yeah? ;)

I'm not sure exactly, I haven't had it on a weighbridge. They weigh 1095kg stock. I'd say mine would weigh maybe 1150kg now? Just guessing.

Pretty good power to weight yeah :)

Your MR2 should be reasonably nippy.

i think you have done the right thing mate and in time you will realise that alot more. you need to concentrate on your career alot more for a few years like i have done and it does really help.

all the best with your career, by the sounds of it you will do well. :ermm:

dyno'd the golf at a mate's shop for shiggles. 80fwkw. bahahaha. POS 8 valve 4 cyl SOHC is gutless as. Does 8.5L/100km tho.

Also, factory paint flips from puple to blue, and in the dark looks black. Thing's gonna be a kent to colourmatch.

well turns out the evo has ghey as 1/4's, as much as they look wide you cant fit a 17x9.5 +17 on the rear without it sticking out about an inch

and aint no way im flaring them to suit

why make front guards that fit wider wheels than the rear O_o

oh well have to find something in the vacinity of 17x9 +25

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.

    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
