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.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
