Mugabetown - Whoretownin' At It's Worst.

Blue 17k. Sounds like a steal. I know Spilmer was very particular dont know how its been treated since.

White one is at 25k. Will need to look at it in the flesh to make a decision but I know he spent more than that on it with the motor and other go fast bits.

+ it has most of the gear ready to swap out the 35r and put in a new precision or efr turbo

Seems like a lot.

yeah, go buy the white one!

In your opinion (or anyone elses), is a motor at that sort of age making that sort of power a ticking timebomb, or just something you'd want to do one day soonish? or am I misreading the ad and the engine itself is actually cactus already?

I wouldn't be confident in it lasting any significant amount of time, especially with the Power FC in control

I don't get the pfc hate? I mean they're an old design and don't have the features of newer designs, but is there something intrinsically wrong with them aswell?

There is something intrinsically wrong with the design of the RB engine, which is calculating crank position based on cam position, this leads to unstable timing signals. Having a power fc does not allow you to do away with the CAS and fix the issue.

Also it has no knock control, so combined with the timing jitter you engine doesn't stand much of a chance in the long term.

The hate is justified in this one.

m800 ftmfw... Just saying

Sean agrees with you, but also says the performance gap between a Motec and a Wolf/haltech/link/vipec is now next to nothing so the extra expense is no longer justified.

Thoughts?

[Bunta]

Thats pretty cool!

[Melly]

Always at work.

Yup!

[TiTAN]

Correct. I;m contemplating finishing work early and heading down in the hope of seeing/hearing it being tuned

vids and or pics.

Currently googling new wheel combos for the 33. Dont know whether to stick with black rims or move onto white.. Also looking at some 16's i can fit bigger tyres on

drags?

15's will fit with some small caliper mods i heard?

When do we get promoted from car club friends to real friends?

I'm gonna say when you've achieved one of the following:

I've slept/passed out on your floor/with you on the floor lol

I've shirts off man hugged you

You've received >5 drunken phone calls from me

Probley other reasons but those spring to mind

not sure if i have done the over 5 phone calls.
