toyota gotta stop with the bad named cars. LFA, that name for 86 concept, and now the FT1. if its not an affordable sports car not interested, because once the price comes up, its becomes an over-complicated, heavy, hard to repair/mod, luxury swollen POS.

shieeet, i didnt think they were considering load shedding today. retailers gonna have to ream customers next bill.

price went from around $50MWh wholesale, to $750MWh yesterday. interstate generators gonna make a looooot of moola. Alcoa (portland and geelong) will probably call off most work tomorrow. save money and take some stress off the grid. if the desal was running it would probably do the same (lol)

The FT1 isn't the name for the car that it's going to be, it's just a placeholder "Future Toyota 1".

I think it looks quite awesome, but it will be closer to the 6 figure mark unfortunately.

yeah? why did they not upgrade the generation capability when they could have?

They both look awful, new cars are terrible.

Understand old cars better looking and cooler.

but the hassle with daily driving one is a bitch,

Day I bought my mustang, had it parked middle of the day in Bouke street CBD for 30 min whilst I ducked into work.

Badges gone.

had 6-8 badges stolen, antenna (seriouslly wtf) fuel filler cap, multiple mirrors,

and when the cost to repair the paint damage froma badge is more than the badge as they ripped a screwdriver down the side of the car, it jsut not worth it.

my ideal daily is small, manual, cheap to run.and good visability

I was looking at a VW up to be honest but holding out for a year or so to see what is coming out atm, if I they do a S16, I'm on it like a fat kid on a twinkie..well like me on a twinkie anyhow.

just for aaron as posted to drift sales last night.

You should've seen the spider wondering around the garden in lanka.. The thing had 8 legs, + two more legs that had like lobster claws.

    • I don't think the shuffle can damage the turbos. It only happens at low shaft speeds and loads. It's just annoying (to some people - others are tickled by the effect) and it quite possibly reduces spool performance a little bit.
    • Oh dear. The panel beating needs to be done before the filler work. Do you have a photo of the dent before you started? Hard enough to not flex and only hit the high spots?  What do you mean it was just temporary? 
    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly.
