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.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
