I'm tempted to rock up in the golf for one of these jap only cruises, watch them have a whinge lol

give it a miss pat for the 11bty time! haha

yeah, Billy's car pulled it off. You need lots more low and much better sizes offset if you go that path

Kind of sad that the Fabia RS (1.4L twincharged) is faster than the 86, despite less power and roughly the same weight :/

It's 3-4k cheaper too...shame it looks like a smashed crab.

have a lot more torque though and that's what will win it

Bout 50nm more, still, for the size of the engine and the fuel economy it gives, it's got more impressive performance. I think that might be faster than the Polo GTI?

Why couldn't the friggen 86 at least be moderately quick, even a 7 second 0-100 would have me buy one :(

Hold out for that TRD version...or join Alex with the 300C...

Yeah probably is, I've heard of a guy that has a Skoda Octavia (wagon) TSI and that has beat a few Golf GTI's which run the same engine, well the whole running gear actually; just the body is different

The 1.4 twin charged engine isn't in the polo's though, they run a 1.8T, only the Golf GT's came with 1.4TC and they are pretty fast

So for it to be faster than a Polo to is pretty good

2011 and newer polo GTI have the 1.4TC and 7spd DSG.

basiclly deciding between the 86 and the gti atm.

correction - a front wheel drive smashed crab

Wheels mag tested it at 6.8

This is interesting...I wonder how repeatable it is, because this time would match the on paper stats. Yet Toyotas official figures say mid to high 7s and low 8's for the respective gearboxes and I can't see why they'd stay conservative about the test figures...that's something high performance cars usually do :/

manifold and rear housing have 'broken in' car no longer sounds like a tractor...

lol crap, SR20 = forever tractor.

It really doesn't. Sounds like those hyundais or lancer mirage things you see going around with random cannon tips

Good thing varex is there. Driving around with the f**ker off lol

    • would a r34 gtr hood line up with gt/gtt stock fenders? after latch, front bumper and hinges are swapped for gtr ones? or would the fenders be too low or high in relation to the hood surface? ( I believe seeing somewhere that gtr front fenders use some type of riser for the sides, but do not know how that relates to stock gt/gtt fenders.)    
    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
