only gtr I’ve seen was a 34 that was completely stripped on the back of a tow truck, I think it was being restored 

[niZmO_Man]

Man the 80's were something else aye. Especially in Japan.

[r32-25t]

Yeah they built a lot of cars that looked like they were designed with a ruler lol

Man I miss my old MK III Supra

Such a cool car, nothing overly standout, just... That mid to late 80s era!

[r32-25t]

Is that the same one as everyone else owned?

Of 7M-GTE head gasket jokes.

Nah, I had my one before Zeb bought that one that got passed around.

 

And I skipped the 7M jokes. I had the pleb spec 1G-GTE, with an Auto...

it was still hilarious though, such a slow thing, but would rip one hell of an epic skid on the brake when it finally stalled up onto boost... Standard turbos, but holding the brake and throttle, had to wait about 10 seconds for it to build up boost and be able to start to break traction... Ha ha ha

the chariot with Mount Fuji in the back ground, I’m hoping it clearer tomorrow and I can get a better photo of fuji

Very nice. VA1 STI is a decent car (my brother has one, I just hate the xforce exhaust, so loud).

[r32-25t]

In Japan they have the ej20 with a twin scroll turbo on them, bit doughy under 2k but after that it’s very lively

When you're on the side of the road with a pair of blow head gaskets

I hated my VA1 STI after I realised I would need to build the engine to get any real power for a 1550kg car safety 

Pulse Racing did the usual mods to it, intercooler, CAI, injectors, turbo back exhaust and a fuel pump, that gave around 215kwatw, pulse said the turbo was then pretty tapped out, and if I wanted more power it would need a bigger turbo, and a built closed deck engine

The open decked, weak rodded EJ25 is junk in my opinion and should never have been used

In the end I just hated looking at it, it started to look like a Kia sedan to my jaded eyes

It was fun blasting it around on some dirt roads when I was working in Amberley though, but not to inspiring on the road

My 86, after I put a turbo on it to get around 215kwatw, was a much better car to blast around the streets in.....until I backed it into a guard rail after hitting some diesel that was on the road at a roundabout that is

I'm still jaded about killing the 86, I still have epic sads about that, and as they only released 60 of them, it makes the sads epic

But giving the Bogan Cruise Ship a hit now and then does make me forget about the 86, until my daughter reminds me by sending photos of the 2017 Limited edition ones she sees that is, there is one that lives in Goulburn, every time see see it she sends her poor old dad a photo, I really should spend her inheritance on holidays, expensive sports cars and other random stuff.......that will teach her

How did you get the RFP1’s to clear the brembos, my son just bought a set for his BRZ and they don’t clear the brembos

I just got the right offset I think

17 x 8 +45

[r32-25t]

That car had the ej207 engine in it and was a lot of fun, high reving smooth power delivery. 
 

the ej257 is known to be weaker but I have seen plenty making 285kw at the wheels on e85 with unopened engines. Everything I’ve heard is the semi closed (257) engine is good for 300kw before needing to close the deck, with pistons and rods always being recommended

17 x 8 +45 with 235/45 17

No rubbing anywhere, filled the guards great with a little 20mm drop on some MCA coils

And look at the red VX SS Commodore in the pic, fate?????

I just wanted to share this effort from Goulburn Mulwaree council

Full marks for resealing the road. Not so much for attention to detail.

I assume no one was looking at the precedences in the construction Gantt chart

I wonder who was doing the project management?

I wonder who was signing off on it?

At least there will be somewhere for a pot hole to start after they move the pole and do the "typical" patch job on the asphalt 

Local council ethos: If a jobs worth doing, it's worth doing half arsed.

I cringe everytime our local council fixes a pot hole or resurfaces a road, you just know it will be worse than what it was within a few months

 

[r32-25t]

There’s still a lot of work to go into that job, it won’t look anything like that when it’s finished
