First day at work on Monday and caught the train then since yesterday have been driving.... will avoid PT as much as possible. It's funny seeing work colleagues rush out to try and catch the next train as soon as the elevator door opens up.

nice you found a new job? was it you in the IT field as well? :P 

not commenting about price..
 
but a "420hp" manual AWD volvo...damn what a sleeper.

Yeah would be fun. I'm not familiar with the AWD system in them, assuming mostly FWD.
Looks so pedestrian though. Later volvos look much nicer

Pfffft no one can stop the gtst

 

Got a quote on my dream exhaust tips. I didn't even think exhaust tips could cost that much. Damn VIP tax. My heart and efame says yes, my being a relatively responsible adult says no.

:(

What about a golf GTI with a p plate on it and STANCE?


If I got a golf r and took the R badges off would that count? I couldn't do the stanced thing, I value my guards/guard liners and not looking like a complete tool too much.
Plenty can stop the GTST
It's keeping up that people seem to struggle with...


How does your gtst get off the line? Mine never did get off the line well, turbo spooled and wheel spin followed all the way to 80-100.

Once you hooked up in third it hauled ass. #almost400club

Even a 200kw gtst walked a few car lengths away from me from a launch. Wasn't until I could get 3rd-4th that I could destroy any hope they had.

With WOT it spins 1st unless a grippy surface or a decline to it and the tyres are warm. Still moves along though thanks to KAAZ. 2nd always holds unless it's damp. I don't bother off the line if there's any sort of incline as I can't get enough traction. Not the greatest cars to launch IMO, but NPC carbotic happily takes a beating with slippage to spool the turbo and I've probably done 1000+ launches in the car, so confident I can get the best out of it. My power is nearing the sensible limit for these cars at <100km/h speeds without wearing MT streets or some sort of drag setup IMO. Any more and you start to shift the useable power into higher gears/speeds as you described.

Much prefer rolling drags - not just to take launch skill out of the equation, but my small turbo's E85 midrange is long and lethal. Pulls hard from 70-150 in 3rd - if I can hang with someone until that gear I will usually pull away.

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
