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]

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
