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 might be way off the mark here.. there must be a T junction under the manifold. That takes manifold pressure through a check valve prior to the T, one side splits out to this bleed off orifice, the other straight to the wastegate actuators. 
    • Carrying out some engine due diligence before my first drive in a 260RS that has been in storage for 10+ years, and found two lines that are susposed to be plumbed into the boost control solenoid. One of the lines (the wastegate boost supply line) to actuate the gates, had a bolt in one end blocking it. The other line (main boost signal line) from the very rear of the intake manifold (RB26DETT) and runs up to the boost controller had this pill in the end of it as seen in photos. Other than the obvious (T28 Ceramic turbos might well be cooked)  Can anyone shed any light on if there is any validity at all with this mod, bleeding a constant fixed rate of manifold boost pressure off through this 3mm hole?  Is it deliberate?  Was this a 90s Jap mod done to RB26's? Or has someone just fitted this without any idea of what happens to ceramic T28s if they are not gate controlled?    
    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
