Wife calls work secretary: "That asshole is modifying his car again, got any work  happening in Siberia?

Work: "Cool, pack your bags, you leave tomorrow"

I'm more looking forward to the first time the Mrs hears it, she is going to be well pissed off......her reaction should be pretty funny.

I will just explain that it needed the turbo to quiten down cold start.

That reaction should be pretty sweet as well.

God bless her, and may god have mercy on my soul.

When is it ready? I'll take you on with the Tiguan.

It just had both front wheel bearings removed, serviced and re-installed on a 1 year old car with 15k kms lol.

Are you still going to tow that trailer up Macquarie Pass, wasn't that one of the rules?

When is it ready?, I'm hoping tomorrow, my boat (real boat/ship, not a R33) leaves on the 13th of this month, this means I will most likely be on a plane on Monday, that gives me the weekend to race a Tiguan towing a trailer up the pass, break the gearbox, and throw a rod, oh, and pack.

It looks like I'm going to have a busy weekend

We should all catch up for a cruise in our non-Skylines LOL

I'm spewing I'm going to miss the SAUNSW cruise up Macquarie Pass to Roberstson pie shop.

Although, I do head up there at least once a month for a drive topped with pies, apple turnovers with cream to be then washed down with icecream at Wollongong lighthouse after doing the Jamberoo run.

 

Mmmmmmm, pies cakes and icecream....

Might as well throw the rod out the front of the workshop

WOW, what a difference

Dyno is saved file from pre-tune in March to 8 psi boost now, WOW

Car is as responsive as farrrrk, pulls hard, WOW

Most importantly is that cold start is not as loud, the turbo has done its main job at muffling the exhaust..........?

Shiny clamps is the only giveaway

I feel that alot, and I mean all, WRX and STI's cruise around chopping every 86 they see, for fun.

LOL, that has bit them on the arse today, the little 86 is pumping

Not that I went out hunting this morning or anything

I did get punished by a branch falling off a tree infront of me, no time to really do anything but cringe, a few more battle scars but nothing major.

My little 86 is perfect

No more mods needed

Well..........it could do with more .....tutututu

LOLOLOLOLOLOL

Small turbo kit on a 86 is one of those "enjoy it/great little car" combos. Right up there with a little turbo MX5 at similar power. Sit back, relax, enjoy, and act smug when people who look cool on forums blow up all their money in broken engines.

    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
