Vic Wasteland Thread

LOL just saw this, to clear a few things up -

Just cost me $800 for the flash tuner and $600 for the tune

No retardation of timing, no pulley, no exhaust, no e85, no intercooler, no injectors, no aftermarket boost controllers or anything like that just a tune and K&N air filter replacement. Standard the blower bleeds out boost after hitting 4 PSI on the tune (for the GS) much like a turbo wastegate, the tune basically stops that from happening, increased to 9PSI and made another 120rwkw on a very low reading dyno (made 250 stock compared to 286 on chasers dyno) would see over 400 on some other dynos for sure..

Duno why people are so surprised there's more cars out there than skylines, and before haters start hating I've owned 3 of them before this.. I mean it's no GTR through the corners but definitely better than I thought it would be through the hills. It's a daily to / from work car and I love it. End of the day I was never tracking my GTR and just getting cop hassles

Here's a video to show what a tune does

I know what some guys here are saying that's it's a charged 5 liter etc. I still think that's a very high amount of power for basically a stock car, given mods. I'm no ford fan by any means far from it but I give credit where it's due. Know a guy who's dad ownes a 5.5 liter charged e55 Amg with a tune or chip and it didn't get anywhere near the gains like this. Iv read a about people charging v8's and it wasn't as simple as bolt on, tune and result in close to 400kw. I think it's bloody impressive, good on you mate.

[Sunkist]

This...

It's an awesome amount of power and a very cheap increase, but it's very conservative from factory. By blown 5 litre standards 370rwkw isn't huge. And comparing them to modifying engines with half the displacement is as retarded as Aaron's timeshare insurance idea.

Hahaha it wasn't my idea and I didn't compare u fag

haha cheers mate, its definitely fun !!

Yes, well done on your awesome engineering and tuning skills, Leigh

cheers bro I should buy a sticker, bought not built LOL

Birds, water on car just flung off in the wind this morning

[alr33x]

And you are comparing a $40-50k car with a $15-20k car.

Which one is going to loose you the least money when you go to sell?!?! Sure the blue oval isn't going to command anything more than $15k in 3 years time.

Pointless comparison

Welcome to water beading.

[krzysiu]

Whats going on gentlemen?

Seem to have stumbled on fords australia again LOL

[krzysiu]

Welcome to water beading.

Haha havent waxed the car since nationals last year and the water still beads

[Birds]

Rain is good for a waxed car...it washes most dirt off and doesn't stick to the car itself, attracting dust and then drying to make it dirtier...ala an unwaxed car.

1. Paint protection

2. Stays cleaner for longer

3. Easier to wash

U love me flamin mongrel

"Long story short, i sold my EG with rwc. now the buyer calls me 5 days after saying the wipers are broken and not his fault etc, that i sold the car to him in an unroadworthy condition... the workshop passed rwc so clearly it was working then. and it was working as i drove the car for 2 weeks AFTER getting rwc up until buyer picked up the car

what can i do about this? its f*kn bullshit. do i have to prove it was working when he picked up the car and that it broke in his possession?""

[Miguelone]

Once the car's been paid for and rego's been transferred, so long as it's a private sale the seller has no obligations at all.

[Sunkist]

^^

Doesn't need to be transferred either, as long as the Vic roads transfer papers are signed, it doesn't matter, if the car hasn't been transferred after two weeks the seller can actually go in and transfer it themselves
