The Bogan

LOL, yeap I do still want a turbo MX5, manual of course.

My auto is epic shopping trolley hoon machine. Do a skid for baby Jebus.

Autos are for barges.

Tuned by the marketing team maybe?

What are the velocity stacks for? I likes da trumpets

I though they were only really happy heat wise at around 200, BUT, on 98, BUT, yes, sugar cane juice is magic juice isn't it IRT the evils of heat and knock and "stuff". I really need to give E85 a go one day, maybe...if I ever get anything that warrants it again.

Is that on a happy American dyno?

Post up torque dyno plot thingie 265 should be fun in the little girl.

It's all about where the merge separates

Stage 4th gear results maybe? With the head that decimates all, it may have made don torque low in the rpm range and made 4th gear go bye bye. Bokey, tell them the price son....

Pics that I tried to post but couldn't, now I don't remember where I was going to post them, so I'll leave them here

His arse.... Still, from a outsider looking in, he talks the talk, but I haven't seen any slips or natsoft times. Not saying his builds aren't impressive, it's just they have massive holes that let the rest down. It's weird, his S15 is the most under engineered over engineered build I've seen for years. Meh, let me know when you hit the strip, I'll bet a bag of donuts my old $10k VX SS commodore smokes Bokemons S15. And it will do it all night long. Now, where do I put this dirty spoon....?

Read: "I don't know" Meh, I'm just here for the biscuits. I believe the stock gearbox is good till 250nm, I think it is the same Aisin AZ6 thats in the BRZ. So.....needs more T56

Needs more LS

From these, didn't like 19" ride quality To these, which fell out of favour when after multiple times to balance, from multiple shops they still vibrated over 100 kph. Long story short is they aren't built well. To these, kicking it OEM, 17 x 8 with 245/45 RE003's. Ride quality is awesomeballs, the 245 17", as opposed to the 275 19" do lack some grip when going from idle to WOT. Bonus is the 245/45 17 are cheap to replace... Actually finding clean, un-guttered 2002 VX SS OEM wheels was a PITA, and they ended up costing me....$700......yeap........$700.....LOLOLOLOLIMAIDIOTLOLOLOL I did find new ones to, they were only $1000 a rim.....WTFF At this stage the thing is basically 100% stock looking. LOLOLOLOLOL In other news, fitted some Vanes and Hines slip on pipes to the "Bogan luxury yacht". It now is possibly too loud, I knew I should have ordered the comp BD killers, meh, job for later. Until then it will just be another overly loud Harley.

Polls are hard. If by new car you mean stock new sporty car for $40-80 k I would say yes, compared to anything from yore they are worlds ahead. But, if your budget is lower, than that, then maybe you might be better of with something old, but, what "good" car are people talking about, everything from the 90's that is good will cost a fortune, and the cheap ones, well, I don't drive around in drift pig type cars, I had cheap shit cars when I was a kid. That's when your lifestyle, the amount of compromise and risk you will accept, and expectations come in to it. Older cars may have more soul, but they are typically rubbish by todays standards. And then you go out and throw commonsense into the wind and purchase with your heart. Stupid cars and stuff.

Nah, not a big enough fan to own one

?I will need to grow a goatee, but yes, that is the look I'm going for....?

I've always owned bikes, my issue is my body was having a hard time with my prefered style of bike, the sports bike. I couldn't ride for more than 1/2 hour without my back, or wrists leaving the building. So I went looking at, god forbid, cruisers. M5 in peak hour, in a car, is a f**king carpark, I halve the time on a bike. And whilst the Jap bikes are cheap and reliable, and easy to service, and the "smart" choice, they are covered in cheap plastic bits, chrome, and fake chrome, and sound like balls, even with an aftermarket exhaust (I love exhaust noise ❤️) Euro bikes cost a fortune, and really look like a kids drawing. Which left the Harley's to look at, Sporters, bottom of the barrel and are limited to 1200cc, Softtails, the "fake" ridgid frame doesn't do it for me, Touring are 2 wheeled cars full of electrics and armchairs (plus my short legs cannot reach the controls). Dyna's, or what was the Dyna line, the Street Bob struck my fancy, it was minimalistic, had a low seat height, to match my low arse height, and 1690cc. It was also discontinued in 2017, the original owner of this brought it, then basically kept it his garage for 4 years. It is only just really run in. It will be alot more run in after I hit it with a stick this weekend. The thing has enough torque to pull stumps, and will be perfect for runs from Holsworthy to Randwick. In other news they have officially stopped production of the 86/BRZ, I was hoping Toyota would drop a in line 4 into it, but with the current zombie apocalypse that is very unlikely. There is lots of click bait with the new 400Z that I have been following, which could be an option if that ever happens. Meh, the zombie apocalypse has caused many changes, to many people, one of them is the balls to the wall, full on retard, ultra-bogan spec fad that I am going thru..... I am having heaps of fun, which is the main thing.

Slow and noisy You cannot get more bogan

That is an oil warmer, they are designed to bring up your oil temp quicker from cold. Your coolant temp will reach operating temp well before you oil has reached its operating temperature. As for cooling the oil, they really do nothing. Alot of heavy plant, as well as car engines, use them, the quicker your oil temp comes up, the quicker you can run an engine at full load. I had one from a Subaru Forester installed on my 86, the oil stabilised with the coolant temps much quicker. This meant that once my oil temps got to operating temp, 90°c (ish) I could thrash the guts out of the engine. It had no effect on my coolant temps either. It did help bring down my oil temps slightly after a good thrash though, once I got of the loud pedal anyway, but only slightly as the assembly would heat soak. I know a few people who installed them with a thermostat oil to air cooler which worked really well at getting the oil up to temp, and keeping rhe oil from getting overcooked. I see Uncle Duncan has replied whilst I have been typing. He will know a world of "the good oil" IRT their use, reliability and efficiency IRT the RB though. Point of note: I removed mine from my old RB, years ago, when I had it built and a oil to air cooler installed, my oil temp would drop down really low just driving around, so low that I'm pretty sure it never really got up to operating temp. You really need to get your oil up to at least 90°c before you thrash it, otherwise the oil will not do its job efficiently at protecting your engine. Anyways............do a skid..

LOL

So....instead of dropping more cash on the cruise ship, I got something else to play with. A water pump.

So, a weird thing happened. A shop didn't want my money or try to rip me off. I rang Oztrack and asked about a high stall, they said it isn't required with my 3.91 gears, even at the drags. He said that if I'm not at WOT all the time it would make the car sluggish on the street and typically a noisy PITA. When I asked what else I could spend some coin on, the only value for money modification that wouldn't kill the old slushbox was a wet 50-75 shot....... We chatted for a while about his old LS1 VX, it ended up with basically the same mods as mine, but with some M/T's and a 75 shot, it layed down a 11.7 at 114 mph in full street trim. I'm thinking that ain't to bad for about a $2k "investment in fun" for when WSID opens up again.

Nice, but needs more short hammer time movies. I laughed hard watching the removal of the sound deadening. I am a convert of the dry ice method, leaves alot more time for beer and daydreaming.
