Got your entry to Broadford Greg. Will see you up there. You going to come and say Hi this time or not?

He said hi to me last time, but I think that was only because I walked past him as he was fixing his car...

There's a lot of mental processing reserved for exploding cars that don't drive right and being a complete noob driver you know!
Finally got a friend's old beamer going and he also signed up for SAU. This is the guy that was fixing my car at Sandown while I was blabbing to Birds. His rationale for joining SAU was "Well unlike the BMW club they are at the track, and also I've fixed enough Skylines to be an honorary member even if they don't know it yet"

Lost 3-4kg in the past 3weeks... not sure if fat or body mass.

Thought I would be gaining whilst jobless.

that just means you're eating too much at work, maybe you're a heavy snacker?

or maybe you walking around more now?

So drove the S14 back home to the country today.

I really forgot just how bad the highway done/pot hole wrecking the back was.
that said the few sweeping bends went though made me remember why I did what I did.

 

I see a trailer in my not too distant future.  and many more track days

is that one of the chinese ones with the phone home with full data on it?

I'm not sure what you mean.... but yeah, Chinese phones taking over yo. My HTC is over 2 years old now and app updates have just made it a slug for running most things. Reverted back to factory default for what apps I could and they run much better. Don't think its worth spending much on a phone if constant updates render everything redundant in a short span, a la Apple.

Considered the Nokia 3310, and it looks like the good ol' days of functionality but really need SOME basic internet stuff.

TLDR

apparently a bunch of Chinese phone companies have firmware that monitors all traffic on the device and sends home

meant to be for mainland only but "accidentally" put on international ones as well.

 

 

Meh, if they want to monitor my sending of memes and organising car or family meets, then they're more than welcome to. The socialist party council can add me on Facebook for all I care. Need those instagrum followers

    • 2001 BE5D Subaru Legacy B4 RSK (3rd gen) EJ208 (pink injector) Twin Turbo 280PS 5-speed manual Full time 4WD "RSK" grade which means all of the above LQC option which means stock rear spoiler  I got it primarily to export to someone outside Japan who was interested. These BE5 Legacy B4 RSKs are going through a bit of a resurgence right know in Japan as they are one of the few cars from the "turbo, manual, RWD/4WD, 280hp gentleman's agreement era" cars that don't require stupid money to purchase. Which for some people might be a good opportunity to get as a base for restoration. If I can't find anyone to purchase it I will certainly be doing that myself over the long term. Why? Because it's properly fast in stock form, handles well enough for a GT sedan, there's still enough aftermarket and (if you can wait a while) genuine part support to make it a restoration candidate (<-- that will only get worse over time so it's a case of do it now or choose get a BL5 4th Gen). Mechanically it's fine, has only 89,200kms on the odometer. The problem with this car is that the body and exterior trims are weathered from at least the last 10 years being parked outdoors. I'm the 3rd owner, the first owner was the one that had it for 14 years and barely drove it, had a low-speed front impact (which didn't damage anything behind the radiator support) and got it fixed and sold it. The 2nd owner put most of the kms on it and parked it outside for the last 10 years, hence the door rubbers have seen better days but if you overlook those cosmetic details, it presents pretty nicely. There is some minor rust on the LH rear wheel arch which I'll have looked at too at some stage.  Also as you'd expect from a car this age, the clear top coat is gone, leaving a satin finish on the roof.  Mechanically it's fine (as you would expect from a car with less than 100K kms) but the steering does feel slightly vague around the centre position at higher speeds. So first on the list is to get the steering rack bushes looked at. There's also the Lock button on the remote which doesn't work, but the Open button does.... it means that the anti-theft system thinks it's always open? It seems like if you open the car and don't start the engine within 3 mins or so the anti-theft kicks in again without any beeps or signals. So if you got to start it after that, it won't. You have to push the open button again. That's how I understand it anyway. Just a small irritation but not a big problem to sort out. There's only one mod, the Wangan SPL muffler. Just a tad louder than stock. It's a really good mod for those who don't want to wake the neighbours but still want to hear a more prominent unequal length header EJ20 sound. Anyway I hope to get all those things done eventually, that is unless someone wanted to import it to their country from Japan (where I live). I'm open for negotiations as I really would like a Skyline... but this will definitely suffice in the meantime 🙂 *Disclaimer: This is how I picked it up from the dealer, minus the stuff on the back seat. I haven't cleaned the engine bay or done a thorough exterior clean, aside from spray painting the wipers. 
    • Wow, even with the Audi logo centre caps. I love OEM wheel mismatches. 
    • Welcome!  Can't go wrong with a Stag.
    • Looks good. Nice height.
    • Hey all, a little help from the Stagea hive mind plz.. I'm days away from buying either a 2002 Stagea 250tRS AR-X Four, premium leather, power seats and all the old switches etc that go with it, or a 2002 Stagea 250tRS VR-X Four AERO, pov pack, cloth seats etc, with coil overs, sports zorst, comes with original zorst and suspension and parts. (I think I've got the models right?) Both are VQ25DET, have 160000kms, both straight no rust both with $2000+ in recent servicing receipts, both ride on aftermarket 18" rims. The Aero has a replaced turbo as well. I like the cool factor of the Aero car but the AR-X has never been modified. Neither have been driven hardly at all in the last 5 years. Any thoughts on which one or does it come down to personal preference? davemoto
