I've found as long as there is money in the bank the mizsus didn't complain about me playing with my car..

The.minute I'm broke its all the cars fault.. :banana: So as long as I don't spen ALL the money on the car, I get away with it .:D

LMAO same boat Dave, always the cars fault and wants a holiday ASAP.

Ahhhhh sigh.

A dude is potentially giving me a deposit tonight for sale of my DE+T motor with install into his car this weekend. That will be such an epic relief and I can get back into finishing this farken motor.

You share bank accounts with your Missus? :whistling: your not meant to give them control ;)

For the last 3 years mine has taken up the entire garage, 2 bedrooms and motorbike was forced into the lounge room. She was happy to see it go back together do she could have the house back.

So who will have their car done first? Ron1 or Ron2?

Havent decided on a turbo yet, no. The deal coming up this weekend puts me in a much better position than I expected, so ill be able to make a comfortable choice, with the all star type products back on the map. Such as GTX series items.

I mostly want to give Stao the business though, so I'm hoping my mind tips in his favour once the money is ready to be put where my mouth is lol.

as for who will finish first, I'm confident that will be Ron1 as his is a daily and I'm just a unlicensed hobbyist. I am committed to getting back out to Wakefield though, so I'm not wasting any time either - just the lack of necessity will govern my priorities as always.

anyone wanna make a turbo suggestion? I'll be in a position to impulse buy next week if necessary lol

If I do it will be coming through Stao. I want to support the guys business and his prices are competitive considering the level of service you get.

In a couple of weeks ill balance my numbers and see if I can still afford to keep my 6boost. Highest likelihood is that ill be running the stock manifold with a bolt on type turbo though, it just free's up so much more money for things that are more necessary.

Plus I also think a ballistic 230kw response monster will turn out better than a 260kw average lag monster lol theres just a higher likelihood of a better result with the lower power bracket. Going for more has a higher risk that it might just be too laggy.

Man, this guy's much worse than Ron..lmao! :woot: My current 206rwkw re-tuned by Jez last week just feels sooo good in the low-mid end (2500-4000rpms) I dunno how much lag I will get with the Precision haha.. 110rwkw @3000rpms is all smiles man - its so much more responsive to the slightest throttle inputs now

Edited by rondofj

Ooo you retuned? Why man? Your PT is so close by.... Why retune to suit your stock turbo when you are gonna put a new turbo on soon anyway?

Maybe Ron2 will beat Ron1 to fruition!

    • Sorry, are coilovers ACTUALLY ILLEGAL in NSW? They aren't in Vic, as long as they retain 70% of stock travel and the car is above 100mm off the ground. Does NSW actually have a law making coilovers actually illegal? RWC/Blue Slip/Engineering people not knowing the actual f**king laws boils my blood. Demand them to point to the documentation that states a coilover is illegal. (it may exist in NSW )
    • But seriously, can we ask for the results of the "tip a bottle of metho into a nearly empty tank" experiment?
    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
