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..

    • The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG is has not responded to my emails so far after purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.  
    • There's a good German place in Brisbane if youre up for the drive 😛
    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋
