Floody - Yeah thought was was the case. This Coupe (french guard version) had Hyundai's own Alpha series engine... Don't for a moment think that I know this because I'm interested tho!!

Actually Stu, I'm not certain on the current generations of cars, but the first two generations of Excels used Hyundai manufactured, licensed variants of Mitsubishi motors. The S-coupe's have turbo mitsubishi motors, quite similar to the Lancer GSR's I'm lead to believe.

Here's another nomination. Was at that Scottish restaurant in Rosny Park (Hobart) today - you know McDonalds! Saw an electric blue pulsar parked outside, big chromies, GTIR bonnet intake, body kit ( at least I think that's what it's meant to be) stickers etc etc. This car is someone's pride and joy but looked to me like a heap of gold chains on a hairy chest - bling bling! and fairly tasteless. Was this car at one stage an ET turbo or is it just a standard pulsar that someone has wasted thousands on?

Anyone in Launceston seen the loser who has just appeared in the white Camira? Every time I've seen him he's been blasting around and driving like a f*&^wit. Checkerplate where the back number plate goes, and it looks like he's either put a big radiator with flashy pipes or a FMIC on the front. Include the set of alloys and you've got a full on performance car!

What about just starting with a decent car?

How about the Barbie Pink 200sx here in Launceston

It also now has a twin with green to purple pearl

I'd own both ;) Love the 200SX's

Its just cars like: e.g i have seen a pulsar with all performance brand stickers on it and one of them was a RALLI////ART sticker (on a pulsar??? :) ) also seen a hyundai coupe with nismo stickers on it :P

its just people that havent got a basic clue about Cars / Mechcanics

last night a grey kia mentor was being an idiot near me driving stupid, he kept spinning the wheels next to me........ :) .......it was raining an he couldn't snap second gear for god sakes :)

Luke. :lol:

      I mean it's a bit late to say "This won't have any tangible effect and it is not worth spending more than about three seconds on it, please just enjoy the car" But I said it anyway. Does the pod actually get any airflow in that position behind a bumper like that?

      Hey guys - apologies for digging this up. Has this website been shutdown or is the outage temporary?

      So, went shopping at Just Jap for things that might work for the intake  After some trial fitting there I ended up with a 3" x 45° silicone bend, a 3" x 300mm alloy straight, and a humped joiner, some minor trimming will be required to shorten some of the stuff, but nothing that is beyond my "ham fisted" skills The guy at Just Jap was most helpful as we had all sorts of joiners,  bends and stuff out trial fitting  Laying it out above the stuff in there it seems everything will fit nicely, and looking at it, it is probably the way I should have been looking at doing it from the beginning, probably..... In the end it is a front bar off job anyway to remove the original stuff behind the front bar that is taking up the required realestate needed, so maybe a Thursday or Friday job And because I'm a hopeless consumer, I grabbed some new steel wheel nuts, the current ones are a spline drive type with a "security" socket, that somehow someone keeps misplacing, the new ones are a basic black steel 17mm hex socket In other news: I just did my "final" tax return, I am now officially a old retired veteran pensioner, and I'm milking the system for all it's worth,  life is good

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!

      By Gantai · Posted

      Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
