How about yours Cas? Any developments?

Just got home from work and watching hueys cooking adventures. Hate Huey. Want to punch Huey in the dick.

its moving along as quickly as can be expected given the christmas period. Jesse has ordered my wheels and expects them at his in ~2 weeks...then he'll ship them to me. cant wait :) other than that, the car is at the mechanics waiting for parts to come in and time to be free to work on it...got my fingers frossed for end of jan.

Good news Cass. VicRoads folded?

billy the only middle ground option is to find a secon hand GCG highflow, then you can max the afm, injectors and pump at around 230rwkw

of course you could always cowboy it with an fpr and tune around the afm ;) 250rwkw timebomb ftw!

for a GTX3076R i'd wanna go manifold and gate, 740cc injectors and a bigass clutch/diff

No, I did. got sick of having the car sitting under our building like a 25k paperweight. This venture has been funded by myself and Just Car Insurance...back to rating 5 again. fml. =.=

Hmmm not bothering with the hiflow option. I'll start buying things, hopefully everything will be done by mid year, I am gonna be a poor student afterall :(

what actually happened to your car?

A pothole that was much more a small chasm in the road than a pothole + 110km/h. resulted in all steering components, one wheel and my lip effectively dying. car was undriveable for 5+ months while i attempted to sort shit out with vicroads.

wow GTR on rating 5? you must have money flowin out of your pocket like a mofo.

you could say that. i WAS rating 4 this year till this shit happened. June will see me forking out 600+ in reg and 3300 ish in insurance on the same damn day.

WTFFFFFFFFFFF 3300 for insurance!!!! :sick:

well thats how much i had to pay the first year, its an approximate. i was 21 when i first got the car. rating 4 this year cost me 2700. will be 23 next year so who knows whether itll still be 3k-ish. what can i say? loved the car so much 3300 a year + 5 year loan sounded AWESOME at the time :P

nevermind im paying 2k in excess now to get it fixed cuz vicroads wont admit responsibility.

Thats JCI for you however....being the only firm that will take in young drivers means they can charge whatever they please.

In all seriousness though, i AM looking forward to having the car back :P i do still love it :P

I was rating 2 when I had R33 GTST and JCI rated me as Rating 1 when I bought insurance for 33 GTR (I was 22 when I bought the GTR).

Cass, how old are you if you don't mind me asking?

she mentioned being 23 next year.

wired up the factory Xenons to work on mien golf today. posted it up on golf forum, bitches got mad jelly.

It has dawned on me that golf owners are the KE70/AE86 owners of the Euro car world.

Pics?

LOL! @ KE70 / AE86 owners.

lol tru dat

in other news i'm finally gonna get the ksev roady'd.. anyone know anyone that can "help?"

Probably ask a few fellas on AE86DC or Dave (GhettoRolla) from Vic Imports...

Dave is a mechanic so it should be easy + he drives a AE86 and AE71 panel van...

yeah I was rating 1 with AAMI at 18 cos they had some deal where you inherit your parents rating. Insured a shitty old corolla on it for a year, then after that carried my rating one over to Shannons who insured my Sera, then 180sx, then R32 and so on since then. Now I pay $400 for the Golf full comp and used to pay $600 for the 32. 240Z is $400 as well when I get around to putting it on the road, even with all the mods :P

Shannons only require you to be 25 if you have crap rating.

My rating would've been whatever it was at the time at that age, didn't have any claims but was still only rating 3 or 4 from memory...

I just spoke to the guy that used to be on here that worked there and he hooked me up. At the time, my premium dropped about $700 compared to JCI, and the policy was better in every way...Choice of repairer especially, and monthly installments rather than lump sum payment with JCI (I know they do monthly repayments now but didn't back then)

So I canceled my JCI policy, got a refund of about $2k, paid Shannons something like $130 for the first month, and spent the rest on mods...Really couldn't have worked out any better.

    • New CAS just turned up from NZ Wiring. Looks like a nice bit of gear.  So, yeah. Triggered, bro. Realised I may as well do the cam belt while mucking about with it so will order one of them.
    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.
