thats quite a lot... and 125 cars is a lot of groups too. Makes the John Bowe phillip island days a lot more attractive. Less than double the price for around double the track time + food and instruction (just no timing)

1000kms taking it easy will take a lot of restraint not looking forward to doing the same when mine is done. its a shame the paint job gets covered up once in the engine bay.

the good sheiit

So you selling a car to make way for Luxo barge?

this thread disappoints. found a video that cheered me up, I watched it pretending it had an RB30/25 N/A (skip to 50 secs)

Business not so good? EOFY clearance?

hmmm... I like the gral's the most. bugel's looked a bit sparse for such a big vehicle. I lol when people talk about wheels and sound like interior decorators im not bagging the guy that said that (he's a nice guy) it just sounds funny.

24" with a thin layer of rubber (gettin kinky) are arguably wheels. VIP wheels would be a hard choice. Its either gangster or something that would compete alongside a hilux with chromies.

Thats a joke, but worked out in your favour. Plans for wheels?

so youre a non-believer?

whats peoples opinions on under/overdrive pulleys? and also lightened crank pulleys? 4 cyl's dont have the same level of harmonic balance issues that 6 cyl's do. Some talk of 350Z lightened pulleys giving way, but the ones im looking at are billet aluminium alloys

did a test last night. Charge iphone to 100%, unplug and leave for 8 hours while sleep. Wifi on, all apps closed. Wake up, 99%. Happened to me at least 3 or 4 times where I go to sleep and its 25-40% and the alarm doesnt go off because the battery is dead. Might have happened back in the day where they would automatically download the latest firmware when connected to wifi and not tell you. But even recently, ive seen it drop 30% over night with all apps off, im pretty OCD about that shit. Want blackberry with keypad but who pays for a phone outright these days? and my plan is mega good, so dont want to mess with the waters.

well that explains why my credit rating was basically non-existent when I applied for a credit card.

blockbuster probably own 49% of netflix or something.

so do many people do dodgies with mercedes involved? like buy one when they clearly cant afford it to become intentionally bankrupt?

I just picture you in a shirt and tie on the phone yelling at people. bankruptcy would stuff you for life. but of the people i know who have been bankrupt, have all bounced back or at least appeared to have.

should call it the Starship Suprise

dat Daytona feeling. Mt Waverly instanoodles, eh? I thought living in Balaclava was bad, new restaurants all the time, wanting to try most places. Clayton and surrounding suburbs got so many places its hard to even try a small % of them.

replace everything thats broken the only significant changes are increased compression from new pistons, forged H rods, adjustable cam gears (2) so that it can be adjusted lol, and hopefully a little bit of porting and other little tasks (bigger openings on oil squirters, stronger springs, balanced engine) add up to a better engine. Im doing a bit of research now in lightened pulleys but over driving is an issue and theres too many version of the FWD SR20s to get confused. ie. VE oil pump is apparently bigger and better than DE, but while bigger than GTiR it flows less. some VE lightened pulleys require small grinding to fit on DE, but require spacer on GTir and DE (or something, im getting confused with it all). Wish I had all the parts and just see what fits, whats lightest and whats strongest.

sure did Billy.

Extent of engine damage if anyone was interested: http://i1171.photobucket.com/albums/r550/Leroy_Peterson/photo4_zps68459400.jpg http://i1171.photobucket.com/albums/r550/Leroy_Peterson/photo5_zpsced4539c.jpg http://i1171.photobucket.com/albums/r550/Leroy_Peterson/photo2_zpsdb2d4023.jpg http://i1171.photobucket.com/albums/r550/Leroy_Peterson/photo1_zpsef23003d.jpg http://i1171.photobucket.com/albums/r550/Leroy_Peterson/photo_zpsfa85b4d3.jpg hooray for engine rebuild and mi-goreng diet time! Will be nice to sort out issues through and make it better than it was. Seriously, one adjustable cam gear and its set to 0 anyway *Jackie Chan* Springs might not as been good as originally thought, cause theres not many left in 1 piece lol.

+1 for ugly and impractical supra. its like piloting that space ship from star trek... cant remember its name.

thats a nice big shopping list. Just out of curiousity, what sort of wheel studs/nuts do you use? has the track on the front or rear been widened?

chicks are for fags

wow I did not know that. sounds like a very timely and expensive process getting old parts... they must do well out of it.
