Wait... So is this the car who's owner posted above? Why's it saying in the article that its owned by the Tran twins?

(I'm surprised it's not running an SR20... though I guess they do pull a premium before WTAC...)

The article says BYP is owned by the twins

I stand corrected... Article is pretty vague however... If its going to be their promo car, they sure are ripping him off a lot... and if the EG has moved on from BYP, that WTAC article really shouldn't still be there promoting the car... That said, it was probably written over a month ago..

Drove my first Porsche (only a cayman) today. Very low to the ground with small windscreen. Cockpit feels very similar to the s2k.

The PDK gearbox was cool, it rev matched on deceleration & gears changed without feeling anything

Handled quite well and suspension was firm. Could only imagine how much fun it would be with a proper engine :P

I did like the engine being behind, did sound nice when I gave it some poke

they sorely need more power though, they are gutless wonders.

Was considering one as a daily for this very reason! Daily + weekender in one!

Reliability and expenses scare me though!

bosses ones have been fairly reliable (3x cayennes (2 diesel, 1 GTS) + cayman + 911 turbo)

only real issues have been the radio/bluetooth randomly dropping out/not connecting.

Average wage is a rort.... It is skewed by high income earners and not corrected by people on negative income

Median wage is just over $50k which seems somewhat legit.

FWIW the average wage in ACT is $85k (no prize in guessing why)

i dont make the average wage for the ACT.

dissapoint :(

Can confirm driving Euro is a slow death. Current daily is a 2001 auto astra.

Had to put this in my driveway for a day or two to remind me of what its like to drive a real car (even though its technically euro... but I guess so is a honda accord)

yes, but its a euro with a toyota drive line. so its not always broken.

The GPS unit is f**king useless too.

Way to play catch up in Vic wl.

500k borrowed for first home? Is this normal? Don't these hypothetical young couples have a decent deposit?

even my normally fairly broke ass will only be borrowing ~300k on my first place in a year or two. who needs their first place to be worth 500k + deposit.

    • 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...
