Nek level steering wheel lock, saw this in Naples, Italy. Gosh what a shit hole lol... I suggest for anyone considering on visiting not to stay there, if you're going to the beautiful islands just go direct, don't waste your time in Naples (however the pizzas are so cheap it makes no sense, a double scoop of gelato cost more).

I'm back in Australia, didn't get deported or stopped at boarder security!

Needed high heat for this dish and the induction stove top just won't cut it. Used a butane camping stove (with the holes drilled out), and I'm sure now the R33 is covered in oil splatter but at least it smells good.

Prev owner was into Auto Salon, hence the car is purple and he used a hammer to roll the guards (the car had wanky 19s on it) he didn't reseal the cracked paint and rust took over. Then when I needed to fit the 18x9.5 +22 with 255 wide semis, I went to town with a guard roller and destroyed both guards.

Also going to reshell next year so don't care :)

 

Hasn't moved in 2 months, just gets started, rev it a few times. Once it's warm, I commence a few anti-lag hits to spool the turbo and it gets turned off.

Did one ages before but on shitty tyres, I fear trying in such a small space with semis might propel the car into the Tiguan lol

PowerFC delete, Nistune install, upgrade to Z32 street tuna. Ready for dyno in a few weeks, runs an Auto Salon special Garrett GT2871 from the 90s and Tomei Procams.

Owner wants it on 98RON only, should see 230kW to 240kW on crap all timing to preserve the motor.

Who's keen on buying the car as-is? I cbf, I can tune it before it goes too if the price is right.

OR is anyone keen on the car minus the motor, electronics (ecu, wiring, sensors) and fuel system? I'll leave the rest in (MCAs, KAAZ diff, all the suspension shit,  Bride seat, hectic ulleh stereo.

Clearly over it.

Straight up swap for a 335i F30 M-Sport with under 70k kms.

Getting that modern VW has changed me man, I didn't think it would affect me that much but it has.

The sheer lowdown torque, ridiculous gear shift speeds and luxuries has changed me for good.

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
    • Also wanted to say, my new spark plugs are blackened looks like it's very rich. I have splitfire coilpacks but stock coilpack loom and ignitor. I tried directly grounding the ignitor ground to body as well.
