The Bogan

I've used them with my 25/30 build. IMO it has a better breather system and you can jam in some Mines baffles to improve it further.

Nah, cannot be right, my VX SS weighs 1648kg

Just looked at some side by side images with the Zupra. This makes the Zupra look like a Honda Civic boy racer car. How much to get into one, 60-65k???

Tell them what it weighs son

Found a R33 GTR, been sitting in the same spot at work for the last year, the owner has left NSW apparently, I've spoken to the local authorities about it, they are unable to contact the owner, it is getting close to being classed as abandoned and getting removed for disposal. If you own it you better take it, if you know who owns it, you better tell them that there are eyes on it. Mine included......

Needs more LS

Needed to spend some coin, so..... I ordered a billet high stall to suit the car. Told them 90% street 10% drags. After sending them my estimated hp/torque(360-337),cam (223 228), tyre (25.7") and gear ratio (3.91) they came up with some 2800+-ish locking stall converter thing with a clutch made from unicorn poop, all for $1130 fun tickets delivered to the workshop. Apparently it drives "pretty much" like a normal converter, until you hit the loud pedal. It is also alot more efficient at multiplying the torque, so, if all the unicorns line up, it should equal more power to the rear.......apparently The converter manufacturer was recommend by my local auto transmission guy in Liverpool, his shop is full of angry looking drag cars and muscle cars. Only down side is the 6 to 8 week delivery time, but, as it will be getting a trans cooler, but, transmission guy is still doing some homework on what is really required, rushing in isn't really to my advantage. Total budget???? About $2.5ish, drive in drive out, done and dusted. Shhhh, don't tell the Mrs.

I've seen it at the finals at Eastern Creek. As for penalties, it depends on who you are from my experience.

Definitely the potato Olympics

Sounds fair, although it seems that everyone cheats at roll racing, getting on well before the line in some cases. I suppose it is better than hitting it down the local off ramp or main road. Sign me up Meanwhile.... you don't have to "beat on" a car at the drags to have fun, limiter launches are not required to get a good representative time and trap. Whilst the Nissans are becoming collectable, and worth some coin, they are not made of glass. Get out there, I want to smoke some Nisans in my Bogan Cruise Ship.

New track should be finished late Sept early Oct. I'm looking forward to thtowing the Bogan Cruise Ship down the strip. Maaaaad skids. To do list: Drag radials High stall

SAU should run a drag day again. Lets all go Put me down for any race 4 real in October as a definite.

https://www.carsales.com.au/cars/details/2002-mazda-mx-5-sp-nb-series-2-manual/OAG-AD-19100660/ Nice but...... I actually looked at a NB Series 2 today, pretty clean, under 100k km. It was a tad above of what I'm willing to pay at 13k though. I offered 10k which was knocked back, I'll have another go at it in a couple of weeks if it doesn't sell, and if I haven't found something else to drop my toy budget on.

Much better than stock even with the OEM pads. Size does apparently matter

The cost of consumables was a big thing for me, my Skyline was expensive, hell, gwarboxes were a consumable item in the end, my MX5 was cheap as chips.

Might be the time And........tell me more about it, I may be interested for a sensible price.

Have you seen the price of clean low km SE or SP NB MX5's. Yes, now I'm looking for one in Sydney, I ain't paying $40-50k though.

Mine was fine, until I crashed it that is. Plenty of mildly boosted 86's out there without any issues. Mine was around 205kwatw with 270nm, not to bad for a 1250kg modern car with all the mod cons IMO. It is when people try to get too much power down low that problems arise, not only with rods, but also gearboxes (basically the same as the box in the S15). Like anything modified really, you can only go so far pushing OEM components until the lunch themselves, and when I started modifying the Skyline it lunched everything bit by bit. I had 10 x the issues modifying my Skyline than I ever did with the 86. Currently I am struggling to "not" buy another 86 and boosting it, out of all my cars to date, it is still my all time favorite, yeap, even better than the old 400kw R33 boat. TL;DR get the 370Z, with a full exhaust and a tune.

It is being made in Pakistan by some 14 year old in a sweat shop I believe...... pics of the CE armour getting stitched in. Bike is fast enough for a daily hack, I'm just saving coin for when something that tickles my fancy turns up. Was first quoted 8 weeks, it has been 6 so in reality, I'm just being an impatient dick.

Also new Deka 20 battery, even after being on the tender all night, the thing would struggle turning over the big old girl. And how good are new gloves, I got a pair of Alpine Star SMX 2 air carbons, my last set of summer gloves ended up being repurposed to work gloves, these new gloves fit amazing, have a ton of protection and breathe really well. I wish my $1100 custom leather jacket jacket would arrive.

Bogan bike: Picked up a new rear disc to match the front, also got new pads because new discs. New seat is real comfy, well, for me at least, the pillion is "meh" comfort wise but as I'm not sitting there I don't really care, but, as the bike now has somewhere for the Mrs to sit, and complain, I'm golden. Also picked up an oil cooler because air cooled motor in traffic is balls. I'm all set for the first service, going for the "3 hole" jobbie, LOL, it's a thing, and, because it is a tractor, it takes 20w50 in every hole.... I'm loving the bike and putting alot of kms and hour on it, it's like riding a comfy sofa, albeit a noisy comfy sofa . Bogan cruise ship. Apart from changing the diff oil the car has just been sitting around, alot, we did take it to Goulburn for the weekend to catch up with the daughter, that, like the bike, is like cruising along on a comfy sofa, albeit a noisy comfy sofa. Yeap, I'm getting old and soft, but still noisy.

Measure twice, cut once. Live and learn.

https://www.tirerack.com/content/tirerack/desktop/en/homepage.html?to_desktop=true I have imported from this place with good success. Especially when it starts to get cold in the states and they put all the track and summer tyres on special.

The docs went with the car about 10 years ago, it has changed hands several times since I had it.

External filter is for the high torque box, the WRX, and 3.0 LOLberty use the high torque boxes. Others to maybe, meh, stick it up on stands and have a look. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Subaru_transmissions
