#@Ants has been doing a lot of this on his GT-R. He would be worth talking to.

Ah ok, yeh can't really go wrong with the re-spray...the more effort you put into your sanding before and between coats the better it gets ;)

Decided against going plastidip too as I don't think it comes in a gloss as it's a rubberized paint....plus it costs too much. But it's definitely handy if you have a nice set of wheels and you just want to try out a different colour with the intention of maybe pulling the paint back off at some stage etc. I'm happy to spend some time sanding and prepping - got all the time in the world lol ;)

Yeah good thanks, decided on black plastidip for the wheels, just trying to find new gram lights decals. Hard to find legit ones!

Booking the car into efi soon to get the nistune done finally too :) how's things with you?

Oooh that's awesome man - about time you got a couple extra ponies under the hood!

The black will go nicely with the silver too ;)

#@me_larr any updates on the search for the new beast/sale of your dearly beloved?

Sale is going slowly as I thought it would. Have had a few requests for swaps but the cars aren't what I'm gunning for.

Feeling first hand how slow the market is right now.

Went for a drive in a stock evo last week. All I can say is that they're definitely more than just a fast car. If you guys haven't been in one, you really have to. Surpassed my expectations on how a "lancer" should drive/handle :yes:

Only dislike was the doors clanged so bad when closed. Made the 180 feel almost luxurious.

I dare say that a new evo would feel quite zippy. The whole mivec system would give them motor a pretty nice torque curve too no doubt.

But I don't know if I could do this to...f*k....my car still doesn't have a name lol

^ I call mine the 'old girl'.

Polygamy is a wonderful thing :yes:

New evo's are way out of my budget LOL. Would rather a 34GTR, then spend the rest on a falcodore.

But even the old ones are awesome. 7s-9s make 382NM - 400+ NM of torque factory standard from a pissy little 2ltr motor.

Look, I'm a victim of circumstance. I don't want the extra expense of keeping her and paying rego/insurance on a 3rd car. But I'll say this, when my numbers come up, I'll have a type x, GT3, 400R/VSpecIINur all in the one garage ;)

And then employ me too look after them for you?

Chris will polish them while I do mechanical and tuning ;)

If and when my numbers come up ;)

Although this car is going to get me into trouble, u won't understand until your in it :P

I don't have to get in it to know this.

I'm going to hazard a guess right now, she's too loud, too low, paint job looks "different" and there's a guy that looks like a young hoon in the driver's seat.

Say's "come violate me without lube" to the coppers all day everyday LOL

Please come up to Tbar and give me my ride before you lose your license.....

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
