You under estimate the handling of the FG chassis with coilovers! actually handles pretty decent imo i'd be very surprised if you could loose me through the twisties :P NT05s are awesome tyres too!

Jamie any good pics from the weekend?

Yeah I did, got some of your car too.

Will also be editing them for ESTBLSHD.

Yeh, I'm yet to experience the boaty feeling, mine just oversteers a lot lol.

After doing a bit of research and found out what the Tarmac/gravel/rain actually do..

You can get rid of the boaty feeling by driving it on gravel.

Most of the driving I did was on tarmac so I noticed it quite a bit, although if I did take a spin down my road (gravel) I had noticed it felt less boaty
either way it's your money for the car, depends what you really want to do with it, just research into all the options and decide on what's best for you

Yeh.

Found that Tarmac has a higher clamp load but the least responsive to clamp when straightening the car.

Gravel, is a high clamp load and quick to respond.

Wet is a minimal clamp load, but the quickest to respond.

Eh.

Might just replace it. Was thinking of selling( shuttup) and saving for a house and just taking a company vehicle until then, then buy another emo after..

But I'm struggling to bring myself to sell it lol

yo aaron, always wondered with the less common mercs (G and GLs)... are they delivered per order, or do many (if any) dealerships actually keep stock? Cause theyre so uncommon I thought it might be especially imported by people other than merc

Depends on the floor plan of the dealership. Some will stock them, but need to be sold within a certain time frame.. So not all dealerships will have them, but if they need them they will take it from another dealership and add to their floorplan, or if not the correct colour options etc, they will order one from germanyia and it is usually received within the month..

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
