If I wanted a track or drift car that would be a good start. Body's not in bad nick, though. It's what these idiot P platers should be buying and storing instead of spending 10k on an N/A version of that.

almost a week untill the piece of shit gets tuned.

aw yes

scotty, hows cihan as a tuner?

heard all the good stuff lol

nice.

do recommend. gave positive feedback and seems to know his stuff. struggled big time to book him in. he just chose to not rock-up a couple of times...

however, we'll see what sort of damage there is in my engine first...

He knows his stuff, but it's a hobby for him these days, and his work comes first. It can make him difficult to contact.

What fuel were you running?

Can you prove that a lack of E85 wasn't the reason?

yeah because springs broke, causing rockers to scratch, causing cam lobes to be damaged.

all the while bottom-end bearing fails, rod comes loose, whacks the block and scratches piston an cylinder walls.

would E85 prevented that and engine would still be running 100%? I think not.

would the tuning required for E85 continually melt my external ignition coil? possibly.

would the extra power/torque cause enough power/torque to destroy my headset? possibly.

would the 50L fuel tank need constant jerry cans on standby? probably.

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I highly rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
