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.

    • I don't think the shuffle can damage the turbos. It only happens at low shaft speeds and loads. It's just annoying (to some people - others are tickled by the effect) and it quite possibly reduces spool performance a little bit.
    • Oh dear. The panel beating needs to be done before the filler work. Do you have a photo of the dent before you started? Hard enough to not flex and only hit the high spots?  What do you mean it was just temporary? 
    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly.
