big call

I know, but...things I learnt from that article:

- Hot hatches and utilities share the same target market

- GM managers are professional drivers

- 13 seconds variation across a 21km circuit is the difference between fast and leisurely

- Shooting for fastest ute around nurburgring (assuming it was the intention) and clocking slower times than non-utes means your plan backfired

- Hot hatches don't handle well and were designed for grocery shopping, not corners

I know what you mean Birds, but at least it's better than the usual drivel from cars guide. especially the 'ask smithy' smithy. "my car is 2yrs old and has problem X" smithy: "hmm we get a lot of letters from people with problem X. return to your dealer an see what they think"

didnt know Holden ute was on springs

I know, but...things I learnt from that article:

- Hot hatches and utilities share the same target market well you can put stuff in the back of both

- GM managers are professional drivers Holden do have certified Nurburgring testers who are apparently the only ones allowed to test cars there, (according the wheels magaine last month)

- 13 seconds variation across a 21km circuit is the difference between fast and leisurely tell that to the person who came 2nd

- Shooting for fastest ute around nurburgring (assuming it was the intention) and clocking slower times than non-utes means your plan backfired if this is your Renault then yes..

- Hot hatches don't handle well and were designed for grocery shopping, not corners obviously

3 things...

1.Joshua looks like a Renault Megane driving shirtlifter, which explains the retarded article..

2.Lets see the Renault do a burnout, tow a boat, sell affordable spare parts etc etc...

3.That ute is f**king ugly

...

so what got everyone else into the addiction?

I've got a bit of an obsessive personality. At first my interest was music, one band in particular. I spent every moment living and breathing them. Then it was computers, same deal. And then I bought my first car. This one hobby will stay with me for life though...

Changed to BCPR6ES-11.
First time giving it some it slightly misfired then stopped and now coming back.
Funny because when it happened, I gave it some again and it got better. By the 4-5th time going at it it pretty much stopped misfiring but just a quick little hicup at about 5k rpm.

    • 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
    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
