All up it cost 13 and no i dont regret it, sadly no eye fillets will be shared just yet you can just wait buddy... but definately enjoying it.

Ouch on the bill... But credit to you following through/ I still wouldn't suggest it to anybody.

What makes you suspect coil packs? I mean they sound dodgy but nothing wrong with the curve.. The power also sounds right for a de+t. What boost is that? Running E85?

Thats alright m8, eye fillets are over rated. Aged wagyu is where it's @. I feel more like some lobster anyways.  

Credit to you for going through with it and not just talking shit, although you do a fair bit of that too. You're alright Skippy.

 

13k, thats a lot of eye fillet, lobster, abalone, wagyu. You may have to eat baked beans out of a can for the next 6 months to try and let the wallet recover aye...

 

So, how much boost is that for 181kw?

Jesus. Why not put in a stock NEO motor and the same turbo as you've bought?

Then just throw in a set of 1000cc run the stock reg etc.

Would make a healthy 240/250kW on 98RON. 

Its on 10psi boost i beleive but i will have to double check that and not running e85 just yet but that will
Be one of the next upgrades, roughly 300kms to a tank atm [emoji28]
Mi goreng is gonna be my bestfriend for a while by the looks of it haha, once i get lil things done then drop a new motor in hopefully forged and put all parts into that then happy days from there.

You blokes dribble and just about as roudy as kim jong un but i apreciate all the advice given and i definately took it all into count. Cheers guys will keep you updated when i blow the f*kka [emoji14]

It isnt even that bad, all of that is trasnferrable to a DET motor being swapped in place later on if the DE+T does give up.

This just highlights how expensive modding a car turns out to be over time, most people don't do 'everything' all in one hit like that, doing it piece by piece is going to result in much the same cost, minus the Labor charge depending on how much you can DIY.

....why.....why do all this if you're getting a new motor?

I'm sure you're a good bloke mate but you've got rocks in your head. If you want to waste money like that can I please have some? I've got a long list for my car!

Because why buy a new motor now? Got all the aftermarket parts to chuck in the new motor when i get it, dont see the big rush on getting a motor lmao now or in a years time it would not make a difference to what i have spent on the car already

Oh wells at least he is happy [emoji4]
I'm sure I've done many wrong things too, like mod my shit box.
Should have just bought a 335i E90 BMW for the same money.

Dunno if the BMW is all that great anyway, other than comfort. I had no problem staying with an M4 with tune, tyres, brakes and a very experienced driver. At Phillip island we where separated by a tenth. Long live the shitboxes. My whole car with mods doesn't owe me much more than what Skippy spent in the last few weeks.

Enjoy the mi goreng Skippy[emoji12]

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
