heading back to phillip island tomorrow, need some more waves before summer is gone. picking this up tomorrow: http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/hampton/surfing/brand-new-morey-body-board-still-in-plastic/1036118933

Just ask Schapelle Corby and see if she still have hers.

saw a brand new VF calais today with a strange australian-themed plate. Was desert sunset with a windmill in the background and just Australia beneath the numbers.

Do you think with the nail in the coffin of the commodore, that australia will develop its own species of smug that compares to californians driving Prius'?

"oh, you bought a new commodore. good for you!" *thumbs up*

its not like they'e australian owned. Or else we wouldnt be having this issue. they could sell 20 million new commodores and still pull the pin. There is no export market, and not enough money to make in Aus to make it worthwhile. Sounds like a great cause to support.... :wacko:

Really want the Alfa 4C in Australia :(

Not that I'd fit in it, but that would be a seriously fun machine out of the box. <900kg, 180kw turbo 1.8, 0-100 in ~4.2 seconds and they're planning a 220kw engine.

Finally an Alfa with balls that looks good and doesn't cost hundreds of thousands.

Why you no race at track this weekend ?

There's another n15 bashing around the track

    • Ok guys thank you very much. GCG highflow it is then 🙂 
    • forgot to mention that when it does this it does not kill the engine, but I have not kept the pedal down long enough to let it, as I see no reason to beat up on it as its got to be something simple, small and dumb causing this.  And as soon as I let off pedal, the engine returns to its normal super smooth operation and rpms re-stabilize quickly, once below 4k. 
    • neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.
    • Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock. 
    • Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.
