Lol evidence that everytime we go for a cruise (not that you come to any anymore because your too busy painting your nails or something) your always behind and we have to wait for you. I have never seen you put your foot down. Lol hmm last time I went to deca (wasn't driving my car tho) was last year. Drove chads r32 and surprisingly beat basti on the skidpan even though it was my first try. So don't be getting all high and mighty mr track car r32 that You drive as a daily (lol)

For one, I have never cruised with you so you might want to double check your info.

Second, I dont need to prove to you or anyone anything on public roads, thats what the track/motorkhana is for and not the public streets.

Third, (echoing Shan now?) I justify any modifications to my car for the purpose of helping on the track, if the car is a daily so be it. The difference is I have a goal which makes use of each modification instead of wanking off to a dyno sheet.

Hopefully you will soon realise that your car has more potential than a dyno queen but it might involve spending money on other parts of the car. God forbid it to be classified as a daily track car when suspension and cooling is modified :laugh:

Yeah haven't seen Pat for a while, probably at the last dyno day...

Pat you coming to RE Customs this Friday?

unfortunately no, injectors arrived today and waiting for more parts to arrive from the states.

It wasnt initially, its however (attempted)? to have been transplanted with bog stock everything (i.e, stock ecu, stock RB25det neo, looms from the GTT engine etc), except it all doesn't want to play nice. I was under the impression it would be easy to do so, so I agreed to it. Remember, I'm not mechanically minded at all (f**k, only had the car 2 months in my actual possession since I bought it about a year ago), so when a very well regarded places recommends replacing the entire engine with a stock one, with stock everything else to get it going it sounds drastic but I trusted that judgement. Obviously if I could go back in time, a lot of people would have made some very different decisions. :sweat:

you should sell it and buy my r34 gtt, it has the mv automatics shift kit in it, also ill throw in the stall converter and only for $15,000, but wait theres more, ill also throw in a new sony stereo head unit plus another whole r34 auto transmission if you want it for some reason :cool: .

had a couple of books left for me on my desk when I walked in today :cool:

lol everybody who saw that cookbook wants it! it's fuckin awesome, the recipies are even better... like "Supafry Chicken", "Simple Ass Mozerella Salad" and "Your ribs is too short to box with god".

Lotsa chicken recipies too. I'm gonna have to try some of this shit.

Better quality than Australia :P Ever heard of RPM Garage? Have built up a good friendship with the owner and get fair discounts. All his wrecks seem to be in immaculate condition. You wouldn't even know half these parts are used!

Toyota in Hong Kong is also a lot cheaper than Australia :P Locally they wanted almost a grand for new tail lights lol. I got them for like $250.

And Toyrolla wanted $1000 for USED (faded as f*ck) tail lights. LOL.

But yeah... Got all new interior plastics, 1997 door trims, leather console, new clear indicators and kouki tail lights :D

Will keep me busy for a while.

    • 2001 BE5D Subaru Legacy B4 RSK (3rd gen) EJ208 (pink injector) Twin Turbo 280PS 5-speed manual Full time 4WD "RSK" grade which means all of the above LQC option which means stock rear spoiler  I got it primarily to export to someone outside Japan who was interested. These BE5 Legacy B4 RSKs are going through a bit of a resurgence right know in Japan as they are one of the few cars from the "turbo, manual, RWD/4WD, 280hp gentleman's agreement era" cars that don't require stupid money to purchase. Which for some people might be a good opportunity to get as a base for restoration. If I can't find anyone to purchase it I will certainly be doing that myself over the long term. Why? Because it's properly fast in stock form, handles well enough for a GT sedan, there's still enough aftermarket and (if you can wait a while) genuine part support to make it a restoration candidate (<-- that will only get worse over time so it's a case of do it now or choose get a BL5 4th Gen). Mechanically it's fine, has only 89,200kms on the odometer. The problem with this car is that the body and exterior trims are weathered from at least the last 10 years being parked outdoors. I'm the 3rd owner, the first owner was the one that had it for 14 years and barely drove it, had a low-speed front impact (which didn't damage anything behind the radiator support) and got it fixed and sold it. The 2nd owner put most of the kms on it and parked it outside for the last 10 years, hence the door rubbers have seen better days but if you overlook those cosmetic details, it presents pretty nicely. There is some minor rust on the LH rear wheel arch which I'll have looked at too at some stage.  Also as you'd expect from a car this age, the clear top coat is gone, leaving a satin finish on the roof.  Mechanically it's fine (as you would expect from a car with less than 100K kms) but the steering does feel slightly vague around the centre position at higher speeds. So first on the list is to get the steering rack bushes looked at. There's also the Lock button on the remote which doesn't work, but the Open button does.... it means that the anti-theft system thinks it's always open? It seems like if you open the car and don't start the engine within 3 mins or so the anti-theft kicks in again without any beeps or signals. So if you got to start it after that, it won't. You have to push the open button again. That's how I understand it anyway. Just a small irritation but not a big problem to sort out. There's only one mod, the Wangan SPL muffler. Just a tad louder than stock. It's a really good mod for those who don't want to wake the neighbours but still want to hear a more prominent unequal length header EJ20 sound. Anyway I hope to get all those things done eventually, that is unless someone wanted to import it to their country from Japan (where I live). I'm open for negotiations as I really would like a Skyline... but this will definitely suffice in the meantime 🙂 *Disclaimer: This is how I picked it up from the dealer, minus the stuff on the back seat. I haven't cleaned the engine bay or done a thorough exterior clean, aside from spray painting the wipers. 
    • Wow, even with the Audi logo centre caps. I love OEM wheel mismatches. 
    • Welcome!  Can't go wrong with a Stag.
    • Looks good. Nice height.
    • Hey all, a little help from the Stagea hive mind plz.. I'm days away from buying either a 2002 Stagea 250tRS AR-X Four, premium leather, power seats and all the old switches etc that go with it, or a 2002 Stagea 250tRS VR-X Four AERO, pov pack, cloth seats etc, with coil overs, sports zorst, comes with original zorst and suspension and parts. (I think I've got the models right?) Both are VQ25DET, have 160000kms, both straight no rust both with $2000+ in recent servicing receipts, both ride on aftermarket 18" rims. The Aero has a replaced turbo as well. I like the cool factor of the Aero car but the AR-X has never been modified. Neither have been driven hardly at all in the last 5 years. Any thoughts on which one or does it come down to personal preference? davemoto
