u.g.l.y

I'd rather keep the dash and center console and keep the 10-20kg :)

amen. especially if the car is running 14s I'd suggest the time be better spent anywhere other than on ripping bits out.

True however i'd rather spend money on light wheels, lighter drivetrain components, lighter panels, less fuel, remove aircon, hicas etc etc than rip out the front dashboard with the bloody gauges sitting in the middle looking like the car was just ripped off from parra westfields.

Maybe if it was a 10.5sec car trying to break into the 9's, but hell if its still mucking around in the 14's effort could be put elsewhere...

Rocco's car looks like it was stripped in a bit of a rush as the cluster and centre gauges where just cable tied to the dash cross bar. Rocco's isn't a novice, I'm sure he will get that car moving once sorted.

no it was defently a destroke he was thinking of doing. my car is in being rebuildt by them now we where talking about on the weekend and the turbo is from that ff guy hows turbos keep f@#kn up when boosted.

Straight from a horse's mouth (or taking a page from SST Steve)...

Rocco didn't get the time to change the injectors on the R32 - it still had the standard ones in it. It's got some huge Turbonetics turbo on it, and should be running better at the next meeting.

never ran a white datto, must have been dave...the other DIRTgarage car (orange indicators)...thanks for posting my worst run of the day...got any decent ones...eg 11.2-11.3

Ahh ok, thanks for the correction - i'll change the file name. It was late in the night when I was sorting the 40 videos out. I got one of you staging as the other car took too long and the video capture on the digicam is only 30 secs long. So only got the back end of the run. I will upload it anyway. Sorry, but they were the only runs I managed to film - I had to juggle 2 young nephews and a niece, plus two cameras, and a neverending food supply. But I thoroughly enjoyed the day. :D

Corrected link. Also uploaded only two videos I have of the twoogle mobile:

    • But seriously, can we ask for the results of the "tip a bottle of metho into a nearly empty tank" experiment?
    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
    • Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
