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.

    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.

    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
