Yeh of course just sayin if ya haven't seen one in real life it's far better than pictures an that

Think I've seen them, maybe the non AMG version not sure... I actually like the front, it looks pretty tough, but just not after a hatch...

I thought about a VW Sirocco or whatever they're called, they have a toughness about them, but still feel too much like a girls car to me

Not sure yet to be honest, had a quick look at the M3's and don't think they'll be in my price range... Could probably afford em but not sure I want to spend that much just yet.. Won't be in the market til next year though so we'll see..

Gonna be a tough call though, like I said not much really does it for me these days without spending big

I asked for "medium rare" eye fillet the other day and seemed to come out pretty well done :\ didn't really bother me as it was a company expense but still! should of said rare!

no you shouldn't... the fkn chef should be able to cook a steak.

you want med rare, you ask for med rare

problem with the VW sirocco R also is they are only front wheel drive..

same price as a golf R pretty much.. yet without that AWD kinda makes me think.. why did they bother.

exactly...

when I was looking around and thinking about a golf R as a compromise car I just couldn't bring myself to spend the coin on:

a) a car that costs a billion dollars per mod

b) a car that is no faster than an old stock evo

c) a car that detects any fun driving as an "emergency" and kills all power

Sounds like he is wanting prestige based on m3, c63, s5

Heck id say grab the new hsv clubsport/ gts best bang for buck you can get

he said he was thinking 34 R aswell but would spend too much modding it... i was kinda referring to that option.

EVO IX would be my pick...

can get ~260rwkw with basically e85, an exhaust, boost controller + tune which in an AWD car that weighs only 1400kg is pretty damn fast

beyond this the car loses response and starts to suck up dollars so they are easier not to mod than a GTR

a 34R will just end up being a 350+ rwkw moneypit if anyone in vic WL buys one. I know mine would

Do want something with some go...driving an excel/EA since selling my 33 so its been a long time between fun drives.

Leaning more towards prestige/euro... 34 gtr would be good but they're 13 years old now...

As far as evos go they've never really done it for me generally speaking, but if I were to get one I'd say the 8 shape is more to my liking over the 10.

Cars are just shit these days, maybe I should get a Panigale....

Will be properly looking into these supercharger kits for the 86 on Monday. From what I gather: 4-5k fitted, ADR complianced and engineered, all bolt on components with ecu reflash. 170rwkw without an exhaust on conservative boost; not uncommon to get 210rwkw from an exhaust and a little more boost. In a great handling 1200kg rwd, that's good/dangerous fun!

    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
