The Bogan

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"

Not electric

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...

Want now because I'm a idiot

Cheers Any more of the red Z?

What is the future for mechanics?

It's the way of the future, the logistics are tricky. Ev requires E, so: Hydro power- limited Coal powered power plant- LOL coal, greenies love that shit. Nuclear power plant- LOL again, but, with new tech, lots of small plants may be feasible. Where is all this E coming from, SA can barely, doesn't, keep the lights on at night during the summer, how are they going to cope with a couple of million cars on charge overnight? I say enforce a sustainable population, cut it from 25 million to 8 million, and keep it there 1 child policy should set us right in roughly 1 generation. My future policies E85 fuel at every servo, free beer on days ending in "y", 3 day working week, people who drive slowly in the right lane publicly flogged..... VOTE 1 MLR for King of Australia Jobs for the boys are a certainty

Not rare, just complied as a 5 seater not 4. From my research all r32 floors pans have attachment points for the middle rear, you can install belts and comply as 5, or not and 4. I've sat in the middle rear, it's rubbish.

Ive used stainless pot scourers. Best stuff is fuel foam. The main thing is to build it so you can service/clean it easy.

I remember trying to tune my triple SU LJ, mad fail, I had one mechanic mate who could get them running sweet, would cost me a six pack every couple of weeks to keep them on point. Tuning by ear is a lost art.

Salpingitis is inflammation of the fallopian tubes, caused by bacterial infection. Common causes of salpingitis include sexually transmitted diseases such as gonorrhoea and chlamydia. Salpingitis is a common cause of female infertility because it can damage the fallopian tube.

Reminiscing about RB's I accidentally kinked a the head vents once to my can, lots, and I mean lots, of white smoke. Maybe the motor is breathing that heavy that it is "pressurizing" the engine because the little outlet at the filter is causing a restriction, maybe, maybe not. I would try and strip as much oil, via a good AOS system and plumb it back to the intake to "create a vacuum" senario thingamajig in the sump. Plus "notracecar" so "notemmisionsdefect".

Yes mate, inside. There may be witness markes on the outside from internal welds. Or, at the very least, internal piping at the "in" which stops it just going straight "out". If it's hollow it won't do alot, better than nothing I suppose. Your Mishimoto can has a filter and a baffle I believe to strip out the oil in the air.

How is the baffling inside that puppy?

Currently at a stable 20 in.-Hg at idle.....?

UNIGROUP built it for me years ago, made a lazy 500hp. It did have its issues, eating OEM manual gearboxes was one of them

Get some black krinkle HTP on that airbox, it will look less "fabbed". Well, in my mind anyway. Hell, my old girl looked stock.....

Yep, except an s15 can make 200rwkw tuned and around 220rwkw on e85. As stated, I don't want to talk about it. Sadly I missed a ultra low km one owner ADM when I was looking. The thing was like new, stored, it had 5000km on it if I recall right, it sold for $28k I believe, which I would have paid. It was red, a yellow one, exact same condition, owned by the same guy sold about 2 months prior. I doubt I will ever see one in that condition again. Bugger

My stock NA 86 makes more @fw than the ADM S15. I don't want to talk anymore about this though...... I like my 86, but I lay awake at night thinking of what could have been.......

Motivational post

Nice classic
