greedy car companies want to operate on a profit. how dare they.

and the government wants to encourage local sales and bail out aus made cars owned by billion dollar international companies. and then get their fingers wet getting 33% tax on vehicles valued over $60-something.

good one straya

Winton first time today. Off the top of my head.

Session 1: 2:03 - didnt know what I was doing

Session 2: 2:00.7 - slowly learning

Session 3: 2:00.9 - did same as last session. Didnt know what to do to go faster

Session 4: 1:57 - newbish friend helping me out with a few things I was doing wrong

Session 5: 1:55.5 - more experienced friend showing me lines for sweeper and s turn

Session 6: 1:53 - missus as passenger. Improving on what my friend pointed out with lines and braking

Not bad for sub 50 odd kw on re002 for first time. It has more in it as is. But no more track time. Will be back next time to improve! As is I think I can get 1:51-1:52 comfortably

Mate with same set up but with k24 e85 160fwkw was dipping into 1:42. Wtb mo powarh

Nick, Hamish + Aaron: Thoughts on owning an Evo as a daily / weekend warrior?

Thinking about going and test driving a couple of Evo 8s.

Evo 8 would be a nice daily, just remember if you go a jdm 8 check for rust underneath

Well it's either that or start considering 7s and get a nice dirt bike or something for some weekend fun. Heard them rodz aint so great though. How much power was yours pushing out Nick?

235awkw and don't want to push too much more, some people have but depends for how long

It's the torque that kills them and because they get on the power so quick they tend to die if they push big power on stock rods

its fine, not the best on fuel similar economy to a skyline, just be mindful of the less than huge tank for daily duties if you do a fair number of KM/week.

as for the power thing, mines making 250 on 98 seems to be going fine so far.

If you're planning on modding it heaps go 8. I prefer 7 though, cheaper, I like the kit, and wasn't planning on modding it much at all.

Definitely recommend as a daily (if u don't mind regular fuel trips because if tank size) or weekender.

I still have a reaction video of me and two mates from when Scotty took us for a spin in it, bloody epic. :D

Last night my mates were getting out of the lancer and they were just like "so much better than your 34"

Dat four door lyf coming in handy (although as a driver, no f**ks usually given anyway)

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
