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.

    • 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.  
    • 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.
