really? I never tried because I was told they're a shit version of Pancakes....

i'll take pancakes over waffles

but if you cannot have pancakes waffles are cool

but anything I can put maple syrup on I'm a fan of

haah nah the grills alone are going to be costing upwards of 8k each i believe :)

It's not being done on the cheap

Check out somewhere like Pete's Bargain Centre. They used to get heaps of new, used and surplus kitchen equipment, etc. in. My ex's restaurant bought loads of second hand tables and chairs previously from Crown Casino there. They also bought all the wok burners, kitchen benches, etc. brand new from there very cheaply.

Tried to get a test drive of the Toyota 86, failed.

Dealer want me to lay a deposit and be prepared to wait for 18-24 months for 30 grand Toyota, no thanks.

Nunawading Toyota? They declined my a test drive without a $2000 deposit and intent to purchase. The other dealers were all happy to offer me a test drive but no GTS available so I declined. Test drove a BRZ instead, weighed up the decision and the BRZ won for me.

Bingo, they demanded a deposit, who was the salesman?

I gotta ask, is it really that good to drive that 86/BRZ thing?

Haha, I knew it! Pushy to the point of being downright rude. They definitely turned away a potential customer. The guy's name was Ben. That night I laid down a deposit for the BRZ.

And yes, they are that good. Go to Subaru Docklands and test drive a BRZ. I wouldn't get a GT, but a GTS or BRZ will just be a personal choice. The interior, exterior and free servicing won the Subie over to me. The BRZ looks a bit classier, more refined and less boy-racer. Plus WRC Blue Mica is such a nice colour and you can only get it on the BRZ. I think resale is going to be better too.

dont go into the shop knowing what you want though, try them all on and get what feels best when shopping for helmets

My only requirement was a helmet :D didn't find one I could get my glasses into. Will have to try some more stores, but work is apparently not near anything and left it too late this weekend.

Pretty sure BRZ is closer to 40 same as 86 GTS.

86 GT is 33k driveaway, I've been quoted.

My biggest issue is will I 'live' with something is as powerful as my brothers Commodore - coming from string of Skylines, I don't think so plus I'm not prepared to wait forever for one.

got mine from peter stevens in CBD.

service was shit, but they had the range I needed to try things out.

arn't they closer to 40 on road grant?

or is toyota cheaper?

I optioned out my BRZ 6AT with Premium Pack (leather/alacantra heated seats), a rear diffuser and floor mats and came out at $42,225 including all on-roads. The equivilent GTS would have worked out a touch more expensive but would have had sat nav which I gave no f*cks for. And 3 years/60,000km free servicing on the BRZ ftw.

get in your delorean drop back 6 years...hit up deca..

or...maybe they will come back at the next deca I'm not racing at.

Someone please promise me that there will be wangy burger at deca in december???

Must suss this wangy thing out!

Same bloke I met today, he told me the power of 86 is 170kw when it's in fact 147kw...

Not sure if I'm prepared to stretch more for BRZ but given there's 13 months wait, I suppose I could save up a bit by then.

If all you want is a GT you can get one reasonably quickly provided you're not picky about colour. There's surplus at dealer because far less people want the GT. The manual GTS is where the huge wait lies, and the BRZ is starting to blow out as well.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
