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....

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.

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
