Hey, you LIKE driving a commonwhore ? s'pose it's good that you don't pay for petrol and the like!

Car is SO much better after the clutch... oh boy, what a difference that made! it's a joy to drive really!

Next on the list is a mega-big fuel pump and more boost.... *sigh*

if only I could be cured from the mod-bug.

mmmmm more boost - haha if only i had enough money and a clue of what it needs!!

Clutch really makes a difference to manuals eh? u guys are constantly replacing clutches haha.

Yeah i quite often have to drive the commonwhore - at work and my parents HSV's at home - im used to the ridicule haha

Oh yeah, clutch is one of the best things you can do to a manual..... as a high-stall convertor for an auto box.

Oh, you have enough money, you just gotta prioritize... ie. Number 1 = Car, Number 2 = Alcohol, Number 3 = Food, Number 4 onwards = girlfriend, more alcohol + mates.... but not particularly in that order!

    • They're all horrible. X-Trails have had a nasty sounding 4cyl since forever, no matter what engine family it came from. The CVTs only made that worse. Then the whole Renault thing only made every Nissan that was contaminated by them even worse again. The only fun I've had in a X-Trail was having it blown sideways across a frozen Minnesota highway at 90 mph trying to make it to the airport to get out of the frozen hellhole of Hoth. Nearly died. Was great fun.
    • Alrighty, I'll have to grab a couple pics and type out something soon in another post. I haven't driven a modern X no, this would be the first one really. Yeah the rental boxes are always cheap as chips right? So I'd doubt that anyone was handing out GTs to go and abuse. But I s'pose I could be wrong for sure. New cars these days though? Pretty unimpressed with what I see now; 20 years and all that, like you said. It just kind of worked out to have these two cars now. I'm pretty pleased with that, don't need much else. I'm sure you lads are right about the temps and for sure, you wouldn't have much time to drive 'em down there if you all were like me. I do hate sweating all over the seats though😆
    • Let large companies that are making money off selling kits do the preliminary engineering for you. If they all do -10, then that is all you'll ever need. 
    • Hopefully it ends up being something manageable, like a hone, rather than a full bore—it would be a huge relief if it’s not as bad as it looks. Hang in there; these setbacks are annoying, but it sounds like you’re handling it as smartly as possible.
    • At the end of the day, it’s all about understanding the odds and being comfortable with the potential cost, whether it’s horsepower on a build or chips on a roulette table. And I have to say, the Laine example made me laugh—some people really do embrace that carefree, “roll and see” attitude!
