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.

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
    • Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
