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.

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...

    • I thought it could be an issue because the standard plate was flexing when stressed. Maybe the original gear set will hold a bit better without flex? Last time on the dyno it made around 670nm at the hubs. Now it have bigger turbo and better intake but have not been on a dyno yet. The car is being used from family trips to drag race events. So the shifts can be a little violent. It is grinding if I shift to fast so was thinking I should overhaul it soon.
    • From the factory on RB26s there's a fitting on the intake manifold collector/"plenum" that provides pre-throttle boost signal. That's how they did it back in the day, I figure it's fine to replicate it.
    • I would be surprised if that wasn't the issue. It's probably telling you, that even if you remove the plastic liner, you may have some other clearance issues that may occur too in some scenarios. IE, tyre to guard. It looks like someone has already rolled the lip, but you may still have issues in the future IE, turning and hitting a bump etc. The fact it changes how bad it makes the noise when you are going backward vs forward is highly indicative that it's the tyre rubbing. They do make a terrible sound, even if you're only pushing a project car that has a liner hanging down on a tyre!   Has the car been lowered? If it has been, what is the measurement from the centre of the wheel hub to the lip of the guard straight up?

    • Mark's a bit smarter than people give him credit... He'd convince the person that is to become dead, to drive him to the forest first. That way his car has no evidence in it, and he's free to dispose of their vehicle permanently how he sees fit too...
