Haha, yeah will probably keep it for a fair while, though its not so stealth in bright yellow

I'd love to get a second car as a daily tho, i'm thinking ralliart colt (~$9k, turbo, good on fuel)

Wheels, coilovers and a tune would make me pretty happy and i don't think i'd be on the wrong side of the law (though they can seemingly get you for anything if they really want)

^this is true. My 33 is relatively stock with aftermarket body kit, bigger wheels but with heaps of gap between my wheels and arches owned it for just over 1 1/2yrs been pulled up 3 times or RBT's late late at night.

Glad to hear that e85 is available from a couple of servos now too! Eventually i'm thinking hypergear highflow on e85 and see what i can get out of it

Just need to organise some form of paying for it all

man how long ago did you live on the GC?????

Broadie car park is no longer and has been that way for a long time now.

Its now a family theme park (which is pretty cool mind you and good for the overall community :) )

Too much attention was caused by the so called cool kids at Broadwater car park.

I have joined the QLD SAU club for fun. As that is where you can enjoy tonnes of fun and also use your car in a controlled and safe environment at some events they organise.

I will be going to my first event with my car this Sunday at QR Happy Laps - so very excited and nervous at the same time :banana:

Yeah, E85 is pretty easy to procure over here (for now) and I have a servo at the end of my street that supplies it.

Welcome back by the way.

5 years of uni + a gap year so i've been away for a little while

I usually come up at the end of each uni semester for summer, but its never long enough to get back into the car scene up there, its just about enough to catch up with some mates and then back down to Tas :(

I head someone had a meet on the gc the other day and police were cool with it and no one got raped which is cool

Probably won't have my car up there till maybe early jan so thats probably gonna suck, should be run rolling around in my parent's corolla :/

mate if you drive sensibly in a car that is not flat capper defect central you should have nothing to worry about.

Now, start driftin / skiddin / racin on public roads.......then you deserve the consequences that are attached with such inappropriate actions

If you aren't a dick attracting attention, it's not that bad. In a Volvo lookalike, they really won't look twice - unless you're flying down backstreets at 100. If you're really that concerned, buy a wig. As they glance at you, you'll look like a soccer mum and all is sweet. :P

      Dose's Sometimes DIY and Pay Someone Home & Boat Improvement Thread

      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.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      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.
