Yeah it's good, handles crazy good and brakes are awesome. 

It's cool having a new car with heaps of modern features with an old school feeling turbocharged engine & manual gearbox.
The turbo lag and when it hits makes it feel faster than what it is, which in a way is good for the street. Once I'm nearing the end of warranty will do some mods surely, but for now happy with how it is, maybe just get a catback exhaust soon. 

160awkw? not sure :D

Just mod it already, no need for warranty in one of these subies.

They're pretty reliable.

All good. I bought what I needed for $11.Still got a gremlin where with one of the rear parkers plugged in, it prevents the brake light on the other tail light from working... :confused: I've got a homemade CAD wiring diagram from online, but doesn't really help narrow things down.

My $400USD venture into various crypto is now worth $570USD in under a month. Take that bank interest rates!

It's a bit confusing where values can be estimated/defined to USD, or altcoins against Bitcoin or Ethereum. So with bitcoin rising so fast, it looks like the altcoins are dropping, but against the USD they're increasing too.

What else are you on?

I’ve doubled in probably 7-8 weeks

I've heard mixed reviews of the engine reliability, not as bad as the Focus RS headgaskets though :O 

It'll be catback first as no tune required then down pipe intake tune once I've saved enough side cash to help fund a engine rebuild if that happens :P

not a bad idea actually...

Apoc, Switch, Oracle, Trinity, Cypher, Dozer.

Very cyberpunk. Much anarchy. Such rebellious.

 

So some amateur car photographer posted a photo of the gloria and put it on instagram 6 months ago, mate tagged me in it, nek minnit she inviting me to a "secret cruise" in 2 weeks in Craigieburn. I cant see the facebook event to suss out who is going, but is this how kids do car meets these days? invite only. I mean, I am VIP, but driving through northern suburbs with P platers is not my idea of a Sunday arvo well spent.

 

Edit: think ill buy this and put it on my fridge

Yes, everyone is a bunch of invite only elitist flogs who are scared to have their idea of "this is a nice car" challenged.

I now have cancer from reading about "secret cruises" in Craigieburn for VIP cars.

i think ill be the only VIP one there. im assuming the rest will be hondas and 180's

You can attend those smashed gearbox or beaten by Birds meets


The "I stripped first when I launched it" cruises? followed closely by the "I got a built gearbox and a tough clutch after stripping first so I blew up the diff when I launched it" cruise.

That's so f**king pathetically bogan I actually feel embarrassed for you

 

It was pretty funny. I went once and it turned into dandenong bypass runs with a lot of VL turbos uleh

    • For sure, bromance with common shit box interests.
    • People like Johnny Dose Bro might be laughing at my post because I accidentally added 100mm to my numbers. 350-355 is indeed the lower limit. 450 is off-road Skyline spec.
    • What is the "compromise" that you think will happen? Are you thinking that something will get damaged? The only things you have to be concerned about with spherical jointed suspension arms are; Arguments with the constabulary wrt their legality (they are likely to be illegal for road use without an engineering certificatation, and that may not be possible to obtain). A lot more NVH transmitted through to the passengers (which is hardly a concern for those with a preference for good handling, anyway). Greatly increased inspection and maintenance requirements (see above points, both).   It is extremely necessary to ask what car you are talking about. Your discussion on strut tops, for example, would be completely wrong for an R chassis, but be correct for an S chassis. R32s have specific problems that R33/4 do not have. Etc. I have hardened rubber bushes on upper rear control arms and traction rods. Adjustable length so as to be able to set both camber and bump steer. You cannot contemplate doing just the control arms and not the traction arms. And whatever bushing you have in one you should have in the other so that they have similar characteristics. Otherwise you can get increased oddness of behaviour as one bushing flexes and the other doesn't, changing the alignment between them. I have stock lower rear arms with urethane bushes. I may make changes here, these are are driven by the R32's geometry problems, so I won't discuss them here unless it proves necessary. I have spherical joints in the front caster rods. I have experienced absolutely no negatives and only positives from doing so. They are massively better than any other option. I have sphericals in the FUCAs, but this is driven largely by the (again) R32 specific problems with the motion of those arms. I just have to deal with the increased maintenance required. Given how much better the front end behaves with the sphericals in there.....I'd probably be tempted to go away from my preference (which is not to have sphericals on a road car, for 2 of the 3 reasons in the bulleted list above), just to gain those improvements. And so my preference for not using sphericals (in general) on a road car should be obvious. I use them judiciously, though, as required to solve particular problems.
    • Aren't we already on one? SAU unforgettable bromance.
    • Easiest way to know is to break out the multimeter and measure it when cold, then measure all the resistances again once it gets hot enough to misfire. Both the original ignitor and the J Replace version. Factory service manual will have the spec for the terminal measurements.
