23kg difference. That's the weight of my youngest brother (minus 5kg). Can definitely feel it.

Weight reduction I couldn't feel: Foglight removal, shaved aerial, lightened headlamps etc.

I reckon about 20kg is where I start to feel it. It may be my imagination though, but I swear I can.

And no, I take them to Nandos coz I'm so baller :D I make minimum wage c*nts lol.

You car is a ttop ye?

Actually don't even answer that, no point as 20KG is less than 1.5% of the cars weight.

You are tripping if 20KG makes a difference.

100kg (8-9%), noticeable. 20kg (1.5%), not.

It's your own crazy mind making excuses for ... well... fk knows what.

Do you take chicks to Macca's for dates too?

isn't that what everyone does?

lol my gf suggests we go for kebabs most times. f**king keeper

as for the weight saving thing lol fill up your tank man

not running out of fuel in the middle of nowhere > shaving 0.0003 seconds off your highway time

I said 3/4 is the max I've ever put in. It normally sits around 1/4. I put in $30 when it gets close to empty.

Also if it's expensive then I'll only put in about $10 and wait for the price to go down. I only put in $30 if it's cheap.

Weird system but it works for me.

EDIT:

Lol @ tyre/spare jack..... I removed my spare tyre and tool kit the day I got the car :P

So you live life a 1/4 tank at a time?

why do you want a sunroof anyway?

So I can tan on sunny days :D

And Kris how fun is it.. funny when you have no intention of racing but they started it all :P

I'm saving my pay for other stuff.. don't see the point pouring it all into the car I mean I got a PFC and tune so what ~$1500 I mean I can notice a bit of difference but was it really worth it? kinda thinking of just leaving the car now and not spending ~10k on turbos and shit.

TL;DR: I'm poor and can't afford a full tank of fuel.

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
