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

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
