Jealousy is a curse

Nope, I went to school just up the road...

In all seriousness though, it's fantastic that Ipswich actually has a dyno now, without travelling to Brisbane, Towoomba or I think Gatton had one too. From the people I've spoken to who have used Signature in the past, it'll be put to good use

It's not a dyno per se, it's a partially-full stubbie with lines on the side. He gets in your car and stokes it up while holding the stubbie, and the amount the beer moves up the side because of G forces gives you your horsepower. Weight of the car is compensated for by starting with more or less beer, to raise or lower the starting value.

If all you want is a reliable car to drive around in and you'll give it a bootfull occasionally, then a properly-checked second hand engine would do the job perfectly well and would be cheaper too. Depending on what's wrong with the engine you already have (it could be a blown head gasket, rings, bent valve, whatever) the third option you might not have considered is to do a repair - sort of a rebuild but without going the whole hog. Fix what's broken and get it going again, keep the stock pistons etc. From the sounds of it though, you'll be treating it like it's been stolen so a rebuild would be the go, it'll cost you more but you know what's in it, you know it's fresh, and if you're going for bulk horsepower later on and you already have an engine capable of handling it, you're set. Up to you really, but it depends on what you want to do with it

they already have both, they need water to do skids and electricity to iron the flannos

Whoa, nice pics mate

Done and done

Yep group icons should be coming back, hopefully with the secondary icons too. The "Group: Members" (or whatever primary group you're in) is the default behaviour for IPB, so once icons get to the top of the list of things to fix, they'll be sorted

Yep

Nope sorry, I suspect it's something to do with the slashes? Done! Both of your options are already taken, sorry

If they are, they won't be posting here for a little while Seriously though, there are a few SAU'ers out there (I assume you mean the track day at QR). I'm not one of them unfortunately, work owns me

Bahahaha :sorcerer:

I thought you'd never ask

zomg sounds like exactly the same one as I got, the KDL46X2000. I could not be happier with it

All done Not really mate, inactive or not, it's still someone else's account. All I can suggest is to PM the account or send an email to them through their profile, and ask them nicely if they'll change their name or have their account deleted. With any luck they still monitor the registered address You may... except that IPB won't let us use the [ and ] chars in your display name. Which is annoying because it let me change your login name before it told me that If this is a problem, please let us know an alternative name. Normally I'd say yes, given that your name is pretty similar to others already in use on the forums, and doesn't appear to include any 'illegal' characters. That said, IPB bombed out when I tried to change your display name, so I had to change it back. Invision must have changed something there during one of the software upgrades, so unfortunately there's not a lot I can do without pulling a swifty in the back end And before you ask... no If you have any other options, post em up and we'll see if we have more luck the second time around!

Good to see the priorities have been sorted out properly then - a golf course, versus a facility that will most likely have a direct impact on driver safety and behaviour. My faith in humanity has been restored.

Yes it can

Awwww so much love in the room Your positive outlook on, well, everything has helped me on quite a number of occasions, and I don't know whether you were a good (bad? ) judge of character, but you helped me when I needed it... I appreciate what you did to help me but what I'm most grateful for is your friendship, you really are a top guy and one of the few people who has really touched my life. There's a stack of things we should be thanking you for too mate Best of luck to you, Nell and the kids, and you better keep in touch biatch!!

That's so awful From what I hear there has been a stack of Skylines stolen in the GC area recently, might be the work of the same mob? Either way at least now that your car has been recovered it should make the insurance claim a bit easier. Best of luck!

Upgrade! Scooter -> bike Seriously though best of luck, and let us know what you end up with next

208ps is based on my possibly wrong interpretation of the very limited info I could find, it's quite likely that the turbo you're looking at will support a lot more than that. I'm keen to hear what IHI themselves come back with

That link is broken... is this the one you're after? Clicky

The RHF series are ball bearing according to this site. Also, according to this site, the VN14 spec is an RHF5B turbo which, according to the chart in the first link and depending on exact spec, is rated for 73-208 ps. This is pretty much all the info I could find on this particular turbo, your best bet might be to use the contact info in the first link to contact IHI in the US and ask them the same questions you've posted here. Don't forget to let us know how you go IHI are quite popular in the Subaru scene I believe, with most STI's being factory-fitted with an IHI turbo of some description (can't remember spec), and IIRC VF23's are a popular swap for WRX's. I had an RHE62 I was going to bolt to an old Commodore before I came to my senses

Argh only just spotted this... would have been keen!
