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!

    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
