the question is, will it flutter like central park does if you walk through it with some bread?
how much. will pay top dollar for something dodgy as f**k.

$80 and a reach around to make you flutter like a little girl tonight.

yeah, I'm not prepared to novate over 3 years due to the massive baloon and I'm not prepared to have a decent euro (not including the train tation hack golf I currently have before anyone points this out) non under warranty

yeah agree no warranty wouldnt touch a euro. Biggest mistake people make is buying a second hand euro which has depreciated a heap but they forget the repairs / maintenance / parts are priced according to original price..

* and designed to fail 

I've always been pro Aussie, but after driving a brand new Territory with interior ergonomics and design that hasn't changed since the 00s and buttons that feel like they were supplied by Fisher Price, I'd be steering clear of a Ford at least.

Actually, even new Subaru Foresters feel junky as f**k. Maybe new cars on the whole are sucking a dick.

Yeah they're still based on the 08 FG, same as my 2011 although mines got some FPV adjustments & improvements.

I still rate mine better than the 2015 STI I drove in almost all areas beside the seat / satnav. Camera + climate control of the Ford shat on the STI

Oh the STI had a nicer steering wheel too.. felt like a Prius power wise though, WRX > STI engine

you need a boost gauge.
cut your actuator vacc line in half. put boost tee on eitherside of cut vacc line. Set to like 1-2 turns off lowest setting. drive. note down boost. adjust accordingly.


Who gives legitimately useful advice in a wasteland thread.

Wtf man.

My ford's interior all feels pretty nice.

It's a euro built one though. Most of the Aussie ones are built in Thailand where a fewer number of f**ks are given to quality as long as it's cheap.

    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
    • Does the scanner do all the CUs in the car, or only the ECU?
    • @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man
    • Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?
