Yeah well being a mechanic I thought servicing would be easy, just parts I hear are expensive.

fair nuff. you've obviously chosen it because you like the look of em, so would be hard to swing you towards a different hatch. possibly of Japanese design/parts and good ol' Australian construction. I know some people with a few for sale. a white one stands out in particular. it's only $4500 drive away :P

Watanabe san's 930 only make 360rwhp from a n/a 3.8 6cyl... But bear in mind it also weighs just under a ton....

+ I'd say it's a totally different characteristic of a car.

Both good in their own ways.

Anybody know anything about the 4th Gen Golfs? I'm thinking about getting one as a daily.

I wasn't saying 360rwhp isn't enough.... I was stating that the car is light as a feather and as such 360rwhp is pretty fkn quick.

equivalent of about 275rwkw per tonne... which is a FAST.... would bang /10

busy busy man working, wedding planning blah never ends man!

wait till you have a kid lol....

Had an STI owner compliment my car at the lights...I thought that was nice given no one seems to give a shit about R33 GTS-Ts anymore! He had 340hp at the wheels, fair mumbo for a Rex.

Yeah true that!

Aww that's nice. Your car is beautiful :)

~250kw, not too bad, needs more though.

i remember having a quick google, and on the subie forums i just kept seeing "any more you need to rebuild engine first" etc comments...

unlike le evo :P

    • Bit difficult to follow. Have a look below and see what the standard R32 layout was like. Note there was a restrictor in place immediately before "turbocharged pressure control solenoid" that, if removed, magically got you 1 bar boost.
    • I might be way off the mark here.. there must be a T junction under the manifold. That takes manifold pressure through a check valve prior to the T, one side splits out to this bleed off orifice, the other straight to the wastegate actuators. 
    • Carrying out some engine due diligence before my first drive in a 260RS that has been in storage for 10+ years, and found two lines that are susposed to be plumbed into the boost control solenoid. One of the lines (the wastegate boost supply line) to actuate the gates, had a bolt in one end blocking it. The other line (main boost signal line) from the very rear of the intake manifold (RB26DETT) and runs up to the boost controller had this pill in the end of it as seen in photos. Other than the obvious (T28 Ceramic turbos might well be cooked)  Can anyone shed any light on if there is any validity at all with this mod, bleeding a constant fixed rate of manifold boost pressure off through this 3mm hole?  Is it deliberate?  Was this a 90s Jap mod done to RB26's? Or has someone just fitted this without any idea of what happens to ceramic T28s if they are not gate controlled?    
    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
