I had an '85 Alfa Romeo Alfetta 2L, prev owned by my grandfather.

Only mods i did to it were custom busted gearbox and huge painted over rust patches...

Couldn't begin to tell you the amount of troubles i had with that prick of a thing, but even now when i see one i get all nostalgic. Still would love to own an alfa again, there's just somethin about your first car....

1st car was a mark one escort 2 door. had a 1600cc, cammed, big webber twin throat, extractors and massive 14 x 8in wide rubber (anyone who know the original tyre size will appreciate this!!).

Wasn't too bad in the poke department, but was glued to the road in the twisty stuff. had so much fun in that car. (would still have one now!)

My FC3S Mazda RX-7 is my first car.. I've done too much to it to list. Now that it's finally been tuned after running the new engine in I'm loving it :rant: First time in the year+ I've owned it that it's run properly.

HQ panelvan.

Prem front end, painted in the backyard without masking up (just wound down the windows), 173 ci of holden muscle (well, not really), lowered with lowering blocks that sometimes fell out, GTS dash and steering wheel worth more than the rest of the car, orange plastic emergency fuel cap, m20 4 speed conversion.

Twas a good car till it got firebombed.

A devil yellow 77 mini S, 998cc, 10thou over flat top pistons, big cam, port and polish, oversized valves, twin SUs, extractor and 2in exhaust... 10x5" polished 4 slot mags, 10" sub in the boot.

Was still slow, but $5 fuel went a long way and it handled like nothing else. Most fun I have ever had in a car!

    • Thank you, 100% the intent. New coils were due and the 17" sixers look/feel loads better than the stock wheels. The aero options are so spot on.   Thanks for the warm welcome, all!
    • 98 r34 gtt Been rocking my latest setup and car running like never before. Have put a good 200 miles on it since all the latest changes and additions. everything is dialed in and have been driving it a bunch.   However, all a sudden last weekend as soon as I pushed throttle passed 4k and the engine stumbles, (slow or fast acceleration) hesitates and doesn’t go above 4100 or so, like a misfire. Everything else seems fine. I had a “good” set of coil packs that I removed from car when I first got it when I changed them over to new coils. I swapped out current ones for those, but no change. I also changed the plugs, no change. Seems to rev over 4 when out of gear with no load just fine no “misfire”, but as soon as its in gear with a load of any kind, it “misfires” as soon as rpm drop back below 4 k it runs perfectly, smooth, starts, restarts and drives fine as long as I keep it below 4 k while in gear. All readings look fine, no CEL   Any idea as to what could all a sudden cause an issue when pushing rpms passed 4 k?
    • When you say your cams are 272/262 is that 272in and 262ex?
    • We're arguing semantics. I am saying 45 accel and a 55 deccel ramp are "2 ways". Even a 45 degree ramp and an 89 degree ramp is "2 ways", because it is literally... two ways. The cusco 55/30 ramp is a 2 way. It's two ways. I get it though - in normal nomenclature a "2 way" would be 45/45 or 55/55 or 60/60 i.e the same locking in both directions. And something like 45/65 would be considered "1.5 way". I would then say if we're getting into the nitty gritty then every locking diff is a "2 way" diff and we should not speak in 1.5, or 2 ways but ramp angles instead. Which ofc if one of those ramp angles is 90deg, that side is not doing any locking. :p So Nismo don't obviously sell 3 things. The fact of the matter that they only sell two items really goes to show that there's a 2 way and a "1,5 way" which is really a 1 way. I believe the actual lockup for the 'adjustability' of the GT pro is really just setting preload for when the ramps actually start locking up. It's not changing how much 'wayness' there is. It is (somehow) horribly explained. People just buy whatever diff and go "locks up good bruh" and that's what ends up on socials forever.
