Few people have been asking what I'm doin with my cars these days. For those that asked/interested, here's some of the shit that I've started that I'll probably never finish...

Project 1:

AE86 for race use. So far:

$650 AE86

$350 TRD 2 Way LSD

$1600 CA18DET, gearbox, ECU, loom, turbo etc

$800 8-point Rollcage

$100 Sabelt racing harness

$27 Fire Extinguisher

Project 2:

Street driven widebody R32...

BN Sports R32 Widebodykit (50mm either side)

SSR 18"x9.5" in front and SSR 18"x10.5" at the back

RB25DET (Still being built/pieced together)

Trust TD06-25G (Will most probably be sold as it is totally non street use friendly... starts spooling at 5000rpm and then wooshka)

HKS external wastegate

custom lowmount manifold

no more details due to it being a combination of being a top secret and "make/get as we go" project.

Some teaser pics (with stock sized rims for reference):

I'll update this thread... whenever something happens... which won't be soon.

I think I should just sell it all and get a Vol... i mean a Stagea.

I just saw in the for sale section a 1989 version of my car's (mine 1993) selling for 10 grand... so I'm tempted to sell mine too. With the new P-Plate rules, it seems my car's actually eligible :D

I want to finish the hachi in a couple of months. Driftline being the efficient guys they are should have the engine in before the end of next month (maybe even next week). After that its all just cosmetic shit and bolt on stuff.

I might just slap a Vertex kit on the R32, respray it and sell it.

    • 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?
    • You just need a different blue slip shop (preferably one you regularly use as a mechanic), and make sure the coil overs are as close as possible to standard height
    • yeah the sugar refining companies were pushing for the same in Oz originally, all fuels were going to have 10% ethanol to make them "cheaper" (noting, that the loss in l/100 might be greater than the decrease in price). I guess they won that fight in Canadia
