yeh, but 230 kw is eeeeeeeasily enough to skid a gtst and you can spend the remaining coin on trackdays/tires etc

and you can tell hwp to smoke your pole if they EPA you....

pretty much what I do now, dat feel is pretty good

(nek minit fined for fog lights) LOL

Might get intercooler, run a smaller pulley and e85 down the track, however then I need injectors and fuel pump as well which is all $ and don't think the change from 370 to 450 odd would be that different.. would get me dat 10 though best someone has got with a tune only is 11.3 down the 1/4 mile with good tyres

Or perhaps it's time I save for a house :(

I'm thinking a shed, I need to be able to store at least 4 cars, preferably more!

I'm limited by my sloping block, designing a 6x9 with extra height to stack cars with a hoist, so should fit 3 with storage

lol... do you NEED a 10?

370 is stupid power! why risk blowing an engine on a 50k car for extra power that you wont be able to use?

don't you hate it when you've lost the rear end (more than once) on your FWD when out on a track, later find out the previous owner hit a gutter a few years ago and knocked one of the rear wheels out.

get it measured up at Tyre Factory when they were doing other work and find one of the wheels to have 6mm toe-in and the other 1mm. then take it to Centreline Suspension (more than reputable from what I've seen/read) and they measure 1mm toe-in on both rear wheels........

grrr

My Pulsar also had near on 0mm toe in on one side and 6mm toe in on the other side - as you know that is within Nissan spec and the only way to get it better is to bend the rear beam. It almost always has nothing to do with accident damage - that's how they came out of the factory.

I agree it makes the car very unstable particularly with quick changes of direction. Could best describe it as crabwalking. Noticed it at turns 11 & 12 at Sandown more than anywhere else.

ETA for BRZ is now April, oh yeah! Nearly time for nervous butterflies.

That's quick! What happened to 12 month wait? Our 18 month wait for 86 has been upgraded to ~6 months too.

So you can be free?

yes.

Polo TDi...I'm impressed. Averaging 3.4L on the freeway. Could get to Sydney on $60.

yeah that would definitely be my car of choice if i were to go down that path, love the golfs are the GTI much worst?

Golf GTI is a great all rounder daily. Great tuning potential too. For the money though, Polo kicks ass. Turbo diesel moves off the line and the 7 speed DSG helps. Would get one if it was a bit better looking, but compared to others in the same market it's probably the best looking.

    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm. 
    • Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
