My main complaint with the Evo was that in some ways its too easy to drive. Very clinical, razor sharp but a little soulless. A very fast car and I miss it heaps but I like something that can bite back a bit.

someone edited their post lol

i didnt? :unsure:

you shouldve traded me then. wouldve had a powerful stagea in your hands now!

As would I... depending on cargo space.

How would your Ridgeback go in a "small" wagon?

I know my two dogs would probably get quite car sick due to lack of space if I was in a smaller wagon/soft roader

Back on topic... not that there is one in here.

I would drop my Stagea, and get one of these in a heartbeat if they were available in Aust.

Evo Wagon

if our car came in sedan or coupe form, id be getting that

Not great in a Lancer, I think they are quite small cargo wise, but they still have that boxy shape, which allows dogs to stand up. Thats not really possible in a Holden sportwagon/mazda 6 wagon.

Two Dogs would be a no no I think, unless they were smaller dogs.

But heck- Evo wagon- that'd be almost more of a sleeper car that what we have!:banana:

Alex, I've seen (and photographed) an Evo wagon here in Sydney a few weeks ago, link: http://www.autocult.net and follow the link to the JDMST meet.

I think I rememeber reading a little while ago that they (evo wagons) could only be brought in as personal imports

Wow Nick, very interesting! I was under the impression nobody did the complience work on them. If there is just one floating around, maybe its a persoanl import...

Anyway... one car is in the country, thats a better probability than nil cars!:thumbsup:

oh...

http://forum.jdmstyl...ts-Introduction

well, a bit lol... be am importer of JDM cars, and drive something none of your clients can get! I guess you stay unique that way!

I like to think I'm not a completely naive retard, but can someone tell me how the fk something made in Australia is SUBSTANTIALLY cheaper in the US?

I'm looking at brake discs, and I've decided I'd prefer the DBA 4000 slotteds, but they're pretty epically expensive compared to the DBA street series and the RDA ones. And by epically expensive I mean almost twice the price.

Checking on ebay, as I usually do, I found I could get the DBA 4000 rotors for a 350Z touring from the US for almost half the price of Australia.

Unlike the street series and RDA, the 4000s are made in Australia. By an Australian company. So how on earth can they be cheaper form the states? :wacko:

    • The oil pressure sensor for logging, does it happen to be the one that was slowly breaking out of the oil block? If it is,I would be ignoring your logs. You had a leak at the sensor which would mean it can't read accurately. It's a small hole at the sensor, and you had a small hole just before it, meaning you could have lost significant pressure reading.   As for brakes, if it's just fluid getting old, you won't necessarily end up with air sitting in the line. Bleed a shit tonne of fluid through so you effectively replace it and go again. Oh and, pay close attention to the pressure gauge while on track!
    • I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
    • Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking 
    • I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
