Starts with a K :P

Nothing wrong with a bit of limiter once engines warm, though I generally try to avoid it. (on my new car even more so)

DING DING DING DING DING 100 internetz!

Woulda been up for it earlier in the day...need some daytime mountain run.

Good or bad for the engine, I never understood the appeal to limiter bashing. I like to keep going forwards in a progressively faster manner...

Not really lol, I got the price I wanted for it, he can drive it as he pleases. Just wouldn't recommend anyone buying it from him for more than 2k lol

Yeah of course he can drive it how he wants and happy that you got the price for it! But if I built a car up like you did, seeing some dickhead thrash it around, and end up majorly f**king it up would annoy me because of the emotional attachment. I mean you'd probably never know, but you get what I'm saying man.

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

Dat extra allocations to Australia ;) Took them long enough. So by the time mine arrives it would have been 8 months wait rather than the original quoted 12 months. If someone were to order now, it wouldn't be nearly as long. I think they realised catering predominantly for the US market and then having cars sitting there unsold wasn't a good thing when demand clearly outweighed supply in places like Australia, even if our market share is so small (I think I read 3%)?

Test driving another one next weekend :)

    • 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?
