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!

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
