YEAH BUOYO! I'm baaaack! Back in turbo-world again!


Recommended Posts

After 6 months booting myself around in a corolla I've finally booted it out via the trading post and got myself a 90 MR2 GT.

Only thing I've done to it was remove the flaming wing :burnout:

Hurrah! Hope to catch up with u guys soon.

UPDATE: New piccies taken of the 2:

goes damn hard in 1st and 2nd. Prolly why the standard car has those really low 0-100 times. But thats about it.

3rd, 4th, 5th...... brisk at best.

I got the CT26 turb.... so its bigger. It seems turbos got really small in factory cars in the mid 90s.... the rexies, mr2s and even the skylines got smaller, or more plastic-like turbos in the mid90s which is more responsive but cant be boosted up or are really high boost to begin with. :burnout:

Spiderman still has the R33... and my other friend still has my old turbo lude, so its like I never sold any of them I saw the prelude just yesterday (he's the guy that also took my wing off) and saw the line last week.

Your right about turbo cars in the mid 90's. That was a bid to try to get rid of turbo lag. 90's MR2 is the way to go.

But don't brake too suddenly in mid-corner cause some motoring journalsts found that it swaps ends very suddenly.

Yeah the last few days I experienced my first drive in it in the wet. I got to say you can call it skating on ice.

If I knew what I was doing this thing would be hella fun! Swing that ass around :P baby!

About time you got your MR2 :uh-huh:  

So when do the mods start :P  And it looks dam hot without that dam huge ass wing.

Mods? :eek1: No mods for me! I'm a factory stock kinda guy now :uh-huh:

If the turbo goes or stuff like that, then I'll probably go aftermarket but at the moment everything is running nice and its quite brisk in low revs which is what I want anyway.

Cheers!

Hey if my family moves away as they plan to and I don't need more seats anymore I'm in the market! I love MR2's always have, wanted one so bad but bought the R32 for the extra seats, sold the 32 wanted an MR2 and bought a 180 less seats but still more than two, sold the 180 wanted a MR2, but bought another 180...

hehe we were cruising down Military Rd last night (mate was driving) and this chick come up next to us and hangs out the window and goes "nice car mate!!!!! My favourite!!" Meanwhile my mates got this look on his face like, "YEH BABY :O this is my car!!" while I'm in the passanger seat going "ARGH!!!!! It's mine dammit!!!!!! MY credit!!! not urs!!!! :mad:" hehehe felt pretty good though that someone complimented my car. She wasn't too bad either!!!

I can't wait till mine is finished in Blue with white wheels and lowered to just that "perfect" height.......... *drool* ARGHHHH!! I need money!!!!!!!!!!

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
