Speaking of Eurocars thinking of getting a Renault Megane R.S. 265 Cup Manual as a chook chaser and getting the R33 off the road for some well earned maintenance and up grades.

Old school term for a small for a small four cylinder car for chasing chickens around the farm yard !

Small run around car

Brings to mind when they released the Holden Gemini van and they were labeled "finger van" comparing them to the full sized Holed panel van of the same era !

I'll let you figure out how they got that Aussie slang name

Mrs Dose Pipe said no Korean cars, as much as they are better built than VW shit boxes they still don't have that level of sound deadening and comfort. Like getting jumping from a Rav 4 to a Tiguan, sure they're the same price but man the Tiguan much more comfy.

Ah good point, back to back testing is a must. I wouldn't say my F45 is quiet as it's a weird hatch with 18" wheels, but my SIL's newish i30 seems to be quieter. My gen 5 Liberty was pretty comfy so mass definitely matters.
What about the French? Peugeot?

I have a soft spot for the late model SQ5s, we hired one in SA for a week and I can dare say it's the best car we've ever driven (all rounder).

It was fast, made stupid growly noises, ZF box, AWD (RWD bias), comfy, quiet when it needed to be, handled VERY well for a car that size. You would easily have thought you were in a Golf R going around corners!

Shit box update, fabricator chipping away at small tasks before the powder coaters open up to take the subframe and all the bits and bobs.

Since the splash guards had been deleted (wasnt my choice but pumped front guards, lipped, etc. there's no way to install the OEM splash guards) I wanted a way to protect the wiring from it being filed down by the tyre on full lock or full suspension travel. 

Work in progress, but you get the idea. Will have the guard prepped and powder coated black soon.

Oh yeah, nearly forgot, here's the catch can with a ball valve on the return to sump.

Allows me to go between street mode (no return) to track mode (return to sump).

wtf kinda pic is that

open your eyes round eyes :D 

Follow the drain on the catch can, it connects to a ball valve that goes into the sump. Maybe I should have circle it before posting it lol

I see it, it's just a shit pic. 

You could've moved to the right and taken it looking back at the whole thing. 

You amateurs will never make it on the gram...

    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z
