If it was the blue or that bronze/gray two tone I might even keep it, but not green =\

New day, new excuse to waste money.

Car going to fab next week, and somehow a simple "hot pipe extension & new cold side" is now involving a new catch can, new pipe work, relocating shit, reinforcing the subframe, etc.

I honesty think a cocaine addiction is cheaper and provides more happiness and mental health  

 

[niZmO_Man]

yeah but can you drive cocaine?

[No Crust Racing]

You can't and he knows it, but I think he just likes to whinge

I was having thoughts of selling my Skyline... then I moved it out of the garage. I'll keep it

One day I'll take it to Wakefield, and EC South (gotta beat that 1:03 time hehe)

you can, have enough and you'll be floating LOL

Then again, can you drive the Skyline? the only time I drove it in the past 12 months was onto a tow truck, off the tow truck and reversed it up my driveway.

You make some very good points 😭

I don't drive my car because I have to get it re-insured for a decent value, not what it was worth 8 years ago

As if anyone would aggressively drive something like a M5 on the track. Even price inflated Skylines are nothing compared to the costs of running/maintaining/replacing something on those lol.

I just built my own E39 M5  for the budget conscious gentleman!

Mate just sold his 33R weekender and bought an 09 C63, reckons it's better in basically every way and now he dailies it. Srck6 exhaust sounds ridiculously good 0_0

your friend's a drug dealer?

actually I said the same to the neighbour's kid when he turned up in one. went down like a lead balloon. turned out he was.

[No Crust Racing]

Not that I'm aware of, would be a nice bonus though.

Yes that was meant to say stock exhaust in my previous post lol

New day, new tow truck adventure 😂

Off to (more) fab work, at the same time I thought why not take out the subframe and weld in extra plates for strength and replace all the bushes (again) since they're all McFked.

This time round, I'm not using Superpro polyurethane diff bushes and going with harden rubber. I don't think the polyurethane stuff is up to the abuse I throw at it. They've all deformed, some cracked and cause the diff to move around now. As for the subframe bushes, I'm just replacing them with the GKTech harden rubber ones (currently Hard Race ones) as it sits the subframe a bit higher, meaning I will have ever slightly more closer to OEM geometry. I need all the grip I can get here 😊

Think of if this way: once it's all sorted, it'll be better than a BMW.
