Mugabetown - Whoretownin' At It's Worst.


Recommended Posts

Sounds like a good idea. I am not privy to this motor vehicle you are assembling. All i know is it has a Crank trigger setup [Which im learning more about and jealous of lol] and now e85 with a good fuel setup. Sounds like a cool machine in the making

Its not going to be anything too special, the crank trigger is really just about reliability, after nearly 10 years of cars 'going out of tune' i just want a car that I can turn the key and kick it in the guts HARD every time with out fear of frigging knock lights ruining the fun! At he moment I am capped to running only 14psi with little to no timing, it made 306rwkw then so I am keen to see what the set up is actually capable of with a stable timing signal.

And if I dont like that I will build the RB28 I have wanted for the last 6 or 7 years!

yeah Bunts car should kick some serious bogan V8 ass once she's all done :P

Ha ha I doubt I will cross paths too often with any rigs matching that description, happy laps grand prix is not really my scene!

Is those figures on pump 98? I made another 100hp when i switched to e85 and only added like 3 psi

Strippers FTMFW... Especially Lesbo shows.

This is true

Yeah that was on 98. I think the physical flow of my turbos will be the limiting factor, they are only babies so I think they will be incapable of pushing more air at 350ish kw, though they have been modified from stock so their limit is a bit unknown.

Ants, what's that whisky recommendation website that you use? Also, have you tried Macallan 12 or 18 YO?

Its this website mate http://www.smwhisky.com.au/

Yes, I have tried both Macallan 12 and 18 fine oak and also tried the Macallan Sherry Oak. I also happen to own both ;)

Does it come recommended?

well its Macallan mate. She's like the Nike of single malts its very good stuff but I find the price hard to justify.

Its why in fact Macallan went down the path of introducing the fine oak range because production costs are lower using american oak barrels (bourbon) rather than sherry oak barrels, however even their 18yo was like $189 IIRC.

My thoughts are as follows:

Fine oak - cheaper than Sherry oak and is very fruity, makes your mouth water / dry and then releases beautiful flavors like vanilla, raisins and fudge

Sherry oak - very exy but my favorite but caramel galore. Could really go without that artificial coloring IMO but the tastes - at first its very spicy, but after you have drank a dram you get the following flavours, burnt cookie / creme caramel, spices like cardamin, orange peel and a hint of wooden smoke - truly amazing mate.

you can make your own recommendation but I think you know what to go for now.

    • roof rail delete used to be a thing, they were made locally for a while too
    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
