MLR's 86 not a build thread thread
The Bogan replied to The Bogan's topic in Members Cars, Project Overhauls & Restorations
Will need pads eventually, current Brembo pads are dust making machines. Only problem is the car doesnt go fast enough to wear them out quick. Plus I do avoid using brakes because I then need to get back up to speed, which can take a while..... -
I'm sure we could dig some up........

Car Defect Notice Valid?
The Bogan replied to FedBpy2018's topic in R Series (R30, R31, R32, R33, R34)
Yeap, and then they will most likely make sure the inspection is, lets say, extremely thorough. If I was the cop/traffic authority that's what I would do. Just clear the defect and frame it for posterity. I had a collection of them in my youth. Or fight it, but keep uninformed. -

Car now beeps when opening and closing. Well, that one of the added features. The boy has a new game, how many times does it take for him to kick the tyre to set the alarm off till I throttle the life from him. It's getting close to the winning number..... -
So when the tuner askes me what my goals are in relation to boost, my answer should be.....MAD DOSE....

The eldest girl got on the turps and left her car at Menai. Obviously me and the Mrs had to go pick it up because she is to lazy to do it herself and her mum will not say no to her. In saying that, I rarely say no to the Mrs, I might be dumb but I'm not stupid. -

R33 gtst exhaust question
The Bogan replied to dtrants's topic in R Series (R30, R31, R32, R33, R34)
It's a silencer. IMO it's a bandaid for poor design. Take it out and its louder, put it in and its quiter, quiter due to restriction. -
Rims LM GT4? Unless knock offs?

Strange that it wasn't stripped? Logan, the bogan central of Queensland, to dumb to make a profit off crime..

R32-31-30-34-33 Yes, other than a 32 GTR I would rather a R31 GTS-R than any of the others. 30, watched it racing at Bathurst, would like a RS 31, watched it racing at Bathurst, would like a GTS-R 32, watched it racing at Bathurst, would like a GTR 34, looks OK, designed by a kid? 33, I had a boat, has not aged well, reminds me of a Toyota Soarer. On a related subject, lots of trash talk with no lap times. Do any of these cars actually run? In finishing up, I wish I didn't sell my 31 Wagon, that thing was mint...?

Nice job, pipe bending is tricky, I use to do a bit of it years ago instrument fitting, I had swaglok fittings on all my stuff. Looking forward to start up

The engine would, everything back from the gearbox though? I've been in a couple of boosted twins, the added small increase in power makes a big difference. Whilst the turbo had all the whooshy, the supercharger just felt so much smoother in it's power delivery. Anyways, time to start squirreling away cash in the bottom draw away from prying eyes. What she don't know can't hurt me...I hope... -

I 100% agree, Toyota 86 = MX5, but, if your flippant with your money they an be "more fun". Just like a 500hp Skyline is "more fun" than a 300hp one. What I initially wanted was a S15, but most are trash or, in the case of a mint car low km car, like I wanted, at least 30k ish, for a old car. If I got a S15 they are pretty slow stock, and handle average, so work would need to be done anyway, albeit alot less than the 86 to eek out some more power. So, in the end the only cheap new RWD manual Coupes that are available are the twins. Will I lose money, hell yeah, no where near as much as I lost with my R33 adventure though. Right now my car is as fun as ten fun things, but everything can be improved. As long as gearboxes are not a consumable item I will be happy, hence a supercharger, as the torque produced down low is much less than a turbo. The weak link in the twins is the aisin. -

Would be prohibitively expensive to be reliable, and problematic for rego. Dropping $10-15k on the 86 is pretty stupid and hardly justifiable, dropping double that would be idiotic. I might be stupid, but I'm not a idiot (anymore)... -

It's been floating around for a few years, cost, $8.5k ish, install isn't tricky. Turbo (quality) costs roughly the same. -

Nah, I will procrastinate about ACE headers, clutches, flywheels, injectors, AOS and flex for a few months at least. If I can swing it maybe even slugs and rods, but that starts to cost really big dollars. "Apparently" -

Currently, I believe, your wifes Tiguan has more power and better fuel economy than my 86, LOL. In the end I just need more power for good skids, not epic power skids, just good skids. Skids are fun... -
