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.

    • Oh, also, forgot to add these photos I believe.
    • Thought i'd update on this. I was able to get in contact with Craig Lieberman and later on Darryl Alison (owner of Kaizo Industries). Darryl was able to help me verify that my car was in fact one of theirs and is helping me find more info on mine !
    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
