Just buy the missus one that's what I did :) ok well it is a ralliart not an EVO but hey it is still fun to drive

My missus wants an Evo X (even though she knows she'll never afford it), but would settle for an SST boxed Ralliart. Just got to train her NOT to put a cannon on it like her VRX lol

We got the twin clutch SST model. It is a great gear box and is lightening fats with the gear changes....

We have had some trouble with it though :(

After 5 visits back to the dealership they are changing the entire gearbox and mechatronics unit...... $16800 :blink:

I am just happy it is under warranty :) :)

Was that the shopping car Martin? :P

I think she might be tempted to come to the dark side. Said this morning that she wants a Stagea haha

That was indeed the shopping car.

Still make mincemeat of any Stagea though, and you would kind of hope so :)

A guy dies when his Nissan 180sx hits a stobie and catches fire at port adelaide last night

and of course, the news presenter has to drop the line "witnesses said they heard a car doing burnouts in the area"

f**k i hate the media

Kinda suss location tho - where people are known for letting off some steam away from the general public (commendable..) It wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if it were true - and if its true, why not report it? Its the cases where they blatantly make shit up that really gets my goat...

Still, assuming the report is true, its a shame there was a death over something as trivial as a burnout.... people may say 'fatalities can happen in controlled conditions too' - but this just reinforces the fact that in spite of putting safety first, people still die. Put safety last, the odds of injury are greatly increased....

edit* oh moorehouse road.... no reason to be there at night unless up to no good. but still.... media exaggeration of the truth prevails.

yeah that general area is bad for it. I recently went for a drive out to outer harbour, took a scenic detour on the way back.... well this detour is the fresh road that links up to the submarine corp - no buildings, covered in burnouts - a street light already flattened by someone who lost control and a memorial further down to some girl who died..

cant see how either of those things could happen there.... but obviously it does.

oh and pelican point is nothing like i remember it. used to be completely empty except for the fishermen, trailbike riders, and the smouldering wrecks of dumped stolen cars. but that was 15 years ago...

I work up in that area. Mersey road/veich road/victoria road all have rubber all over the place. ASC folks leave in the arvo and spend it doing amateur drift around the roundabouts in clapped out commodores and statesmans. Matter of fact there was a crash last friday with 2 commodores on veich road as they were leaving, one was a write off. Always seeing bogans doing stupid shit up there. Idiots dont realize that its all being captured on camera...

Edit - the memorial isnt actually for a car fatality - a woman was murdered in the mangroves a couple of months ago

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
