No skid vids yet, sorry.

Next little job is engine oil and filter and the diff oil.

In other news....

What kind of Commo owner are you?

Yeah, I'm all bogan this, and bogan that, but where are the skids, where are the scattered can of VB......piss poor effort on my part.

But...

I did scare a guy driving a WRX though, I heard him coming up behind me in the M5 tunnel, he would get on the gas then of it for hektic BOV noises (noice), he caught up and started to keep pass with the big red cruise ship, then he kept getting on the gas, then letting off, all old school race me tactics.

But as I'm an adult and just cruising in the left lane....... I timed it perfectly, he got on the gas just as we hit to dollar zone, and so did I, the old girl squated its arse to grass, a boot full petrochemical induced combustion and noise ensued and I was off.

Well, I was off until I hit a dollar of course.

In truth the old girl is big and fat and slow(ish), but not as slow as the WRX rolling on.

Yeah, I'm a dick

I hope WSID opens soon....I miss looking at all the cars

Wow, I the difference in ride quality is amazing.

Ended up with 245/45 17 Bridgestone Potenza RE003's, mainly because buy 3 get one free.

I think the car has achieved maximum bogan spec now.

The joke would be use the white ones obviously, but in all seriousness the car is handsome and neat and at the risk of you actually putting venetians on don't put venetians on.

Yeah, I would need to pull off the window tint to be able to bath in the Venetian glory, that ain't gonna happen.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
