Picked up the car today. It's off it's head. Grin ear to ear every time I drive it. Now just to hunt down Holden, Subaru, Mitsubishi, Nissan (apart from gtr hehe) and any other cars that think they can go quick in a straight line.

In all honesty though, the car drive like a dream with a pure daily down low and up top a weapon. Couldn't be happier.

The car made 380rwkw@ 17psi with 800nm. He pulled the boost back a bit with summer here. The plan is to up the boost and hit the track when it cools down in the new year

what do u recon 0-100 is?

[djqc]

sub 5 sec is my guess. its lagger down low so probably not a huge improvement over stock. but when the car comes on to boost, its glued to your seat kinda stuff. any excuse to drive it at the moment. took my mum for a hack and it was funny to say the least

yeah so off the line its shit but rolling is awes? what happens when you spool it up and drop the clutch?

[djqc]

i wouldn't say its shit off the mark. its still quick... its an auto.... and i havnt stalled it up yet due to cost of auto/ tail shaft/ diff repairs. I dare say though.... If i stalled it up, i would probably get 4th gear skids

[brooa]

ahh yeah gotya forgot the auto part haha

[frogman]

[brooa]

fuck that is cutting it fine, you wouldnt wanna sneeze eh haha

Only the Isle of Mann would they make the cornering line into a wall :P

They need to make jackets with elbow and shoulder sliders soon.

[brooa]

at least it looks like some sort of high density foam or something lol

[Hoser]

FT86 finally announced! At 1180kg I'm liking it a lot. Turbo would be nice though....

[basic]

That photo of it reminds me of this

[heist]

^ i don't like all the different folds and curves in the body work, different shaped lights, etc... could've handled being simpler and tighter lookin' i reckon

the concept looks good in an over-the-top batman-mobile sorta way




edit: should've looked like this

[brooa]

That photo of it reminds me of this

unfortunatly soo! the rear lines of the car are nearly identical!

[Curare]

I have to admit that the tiburon was the best looking car hyundai's ever done,so it's not a total smack in the face.

[Hired Goon]

Should I buy this Mighty Boy for $3900?

Recon engine, good nick, sparkly glitter homo paint etc etc.

[Curare]

Lose the cheviot quattro rims, and put on a set of fat 14x7 " Watanabe's on, knock off the gaybo handrails and I think you'd be in with a winner.


oh and fit walky v8 in it

[Haile Selassie]

should i buy this 1964 chevrolet bel air?

[Curare]

Can you rebuild quadrajet rochesters?

[Haile Selassie]

no

[Curare]

Bit of a moot point really, the liklihood of it having the stock carby is pretty minimal.

More detail?

[nVs]

should i buy this?

[Haile Selassie]

but the engine bay would be big enough to replace the old engine with pretty much any engine available. or several small children with peddles if i want it to be more green.

[brock]

fuck toyota didnt try very hard on that one

What would be the best medium to sell a brand new 2011 model Audi A5? Red book has them at 95k from a dealer. Car was won, has full warranty etc. straight from audi.

How much would you say I would have to knock off the new price to get an interested private buyer?

[djqc]

did you win a 95k car? lucky man

[frogman]

I was just thinking that about that dyno sheet.

I would go to a competing dealer and see what they will offer. They could get at least ex demo rates for it. If you wanted more then you can start trying the higher end second hand dealers, or whatever private sales methods you want to try. How much you want to knock off depends on how fast you want the sale.

finally found some time to play with the vw, the rear suspension is in pieces at the moment, and she's getting lowered about half a foot. going to need to cut out the bump stops too haha. also ordered lots of new bits including white walls and picking up some pop out windows for the back.

low and slow is the way to be!

[heist]

^ nice... saw one cruising through rocko last weekend, pretty much sitting on the ground, "low and slow" sticker emblazoned on the back window

[Curare]

I saw that one too. looked a little odd when I saw it as the rear was lower than the front.

Pretty sure it was the old torque rod style with a rotated spline, but would probably need a slight drop spindle to get it level.

[brock]

dogma do you hit up the monthly meets at alfreds ?

i have no idea what anything in your second sentence meant... google to the rescue

is this standard for leasing?

http://perth.gumtree.com.au/c-Cars-Vehicles-Motorbikes-Parts-cars-Lease-take-over-W0QQAdIdZ330580398

755 per month, plus 10,500 balloon payment = 55,800 over five years

for a rav4 that's worth about, what, $28k ?

[frogman]

Yeah leases fucking suck. That one is really awful, but leases fucking suck.

[Capt'n Goff]

not sure if you did it or the newer owner did... but i'm curious as to what the point of having the battery in the boot is?

[Suloh]

to fit the front mount. engine bay is tiny, AC also has to be removed


when i first got it. poor car, had a shit life

[Curare]

Must have been hard driving a car that blurry.

[brooa]

yeah to gain engine bay space!

[Interjecta]

Picked up new plates the other day. Wanted some unique plates without going overly lame with private ones. They will probably only make sense to Subaru enthusiasts. Hella Supertones, front lip, side skirts and rear spats installed. Engine bay is copping some goodies on Friday-week, then off to ASG the following Monday for a retune. Might post up results and pics after that.

It's crying out for rims, but I have $1200 worth of new tires on it so rims (18's) will be a long way off. However someone has offered me some cheap 17's that I may consider to keep me going until I'm due for new tires. They'll at least be considerably better than stock. Sway bars are the next step, hopefully some time in January.
