Mugabetown - Whoretownin' At It's Worst.


Recommended Posts

Been watching the invisible man, going to start on season 2 tomorrow.

that being said in the kind if person who could just sit looking out the window for the whole trip.

fair nuff

An incapable one would suffice! Stellar effort by Mazda design, not even 105,000kms and the turbo bearings have exploded, the movement means the turbine can touch every part of the housing with ease front and back.

I'm amazed there were no signs of gradual wear, drove home Thursday night, went to drive to work Friday....grind...boom....under-bonnet oil fountain in driveway

I *can* see it, but I need a hoard of magical small folk to get in there and remove bolts :( The skyline was a million times easier!

Looks like Mazda are trying to replicate the Z32s. Engine out for everything!

I don't always remove my turbo, but when I do it's a f@$king nightmare!

Cause not awesome natro motor lol

"I don't always remove my tubo, but when I do, oh wait I don't have a turbo"

Engine out....not on my watch! Though the 14mm turbo bolts are proving to be stubborn, skinned my knuckles on the left hand so far. May have to borrow a rattle gun or a 3m breaker bar to get them out!!!

    • 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.
