I'll be driving mine and stopping at every stop for fuel :-p Shouldn't cost too much. When I took the commodore it cost 650 round trip sitting on 120 there and back, thrashing around hidden valley for 2 days, then cruising darwin for a week after. Had 2 trips of 20km each where 240km/h was required to get items to keep the old chevy going too.

Not jealous craig. Mine is a freak too, What kind of a bitch gets about with cracked skirts and your ass hanging out.

Your car will be fine bro. Every car gets hot on trips lol. Plus, we drove to Jim's place at 42 degree day.

I went to adelaide and back for $430 both times and i make around 500-550 per tank at 110kph, but stopped 4 times for breaks and easy re-fills. And thats the same distance to Darwin.

You'll be sweet as if you go and you wont over heat lol! dont be soft lol :), and thats wicked you'll have an extra 500 to save or spend :)

Wont need a trailer man, if kurt's can do it and his blows fuel out the window you surly can.

Kurt: Mine is a freak too, What kind of a bitch gets about with cracked skirts and your ass hanging out <--- I dont get it haha?

Hi Fab

Sorry couldn't make it to your place to inspect motor. I'm on call and getting reamed this week.

Was going to go to power cruise but taking my R33 to Super Lap at Oran Park at the end of March. Going in Club sprint class and I'm driving the V-spec there and back. Really want to put the white car on the circuit properly (flat out) which power cruise is not. Getting retune at CRD also while over there just to optimise tune further.

Blue car's third gearbox arrived today too. Brand new OS Giken 5 speed and OS R3C clutch.

but man after that drive 2 jims place my car was hot as . dunno if a huge drive to darwin would be good 4 it unless i changed the radiator fluid with flash ultra coolin shit and bought a bag o ice at every stop 2 lol

What's wrong with your car then ?

My current tune I sit on 140 km/h all the way to Darwin/Adelaide and back and costs me around $650 -$700 return easily. Sits on around 78deg.C and I have a stock radiator and cap. Unless you've got a blockage in radiator or stuffed thermostat it shouldn't do that. Man, I drove from Melbourne to Adelaide in the WRX without ANY fans at all (they are thermos only in WRX), just the air blowing through the front at 100km/h and it didn't heat above normal temperature. I'd get it checked.

Well if I put some wider tyres on the back and stop getting on the throttle so hard then having it's ass out won't be a problem.

Lol, I'd like to know where the suposed 15k spent on the car is. Maybe he's adding in the cost the insurance company paid out to repair it when he had that "sneezing fit" and crashed it?

Is that Greg the F-wit who bought my old GT4 ? Looks like it from the photos - that car cost me $16000 then he tried to sue me after crashing it!

How could he sue you cause he can't drive?

It'd be lucky to be pushing 170kw atw after all it's been through. He should race it next drag meet and show us then

Was looking at tyres, can get a full set of 255/40 R17 for rear and 225/45R17 for the front here including freight for $545. Choice of Michellin pilot sport, continental conti 2 or bridgestone potenza re blah blah blah

      MLR's Bogan cruise ship

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I can totally get why you like it for that sort of commute. I was thinking BoganDore because it's such a lazy drive, for things like stop start traffic.   I used to do over an hour in stop start shit from one side of Bris to the next, twice a day. My choice of car was larger displacement, with an auto. Basically for torque in low rpm/very low speed, and no clutch pedal. But loved a fun manual for the weekends, which the partner has (plus had the LandCruiser too for other fun drives). I now have an EV as a work car, and I tell ya what, ultimate daily driver, especially if youre out of energy, like I often am after work. I don't even need to touch the brake pedal   That said, I'm presently rebuilding the Liberty GTB to get it setup for weekend drives and track abuse! So small high revving turbo engine with 6 speed cog swapper!   But for your style of commute, I'd probably take the MX5 too!   For those choices, I'm ignoring fuel economy. Because I know how atrocious V8 daily life is for fuel from when I used to daily a manual SS, ha ha. Hence why I know I love the daily rumble of a V8

      People just don't understand how good MX5's actually are and how fun they are to drive, park, manuever. You feel like you have got some fun cheat code, while everyone else is sitting in their luxobargeSUV like normies who missed the point of living. It really is that noticable. As long as you/your stuff fit, and you're comfortable (they are), a MX5 is the best car on earth to daily around.

      1. The MX5 is small, light and fun to throw around at low speeds 2. Fuel economy is great 3. There's more than enough room for my day bag, and enough room in the boot for some shopping  4. I like looking at it My daily commute takes about 10 minutes of suburban streets, mostly 50kph, with about 6 roundabouts and minimal traffic Whilst the SS is a big comfy cruiser, that's all it is, and the fuel economy is about 3 times as much as the MX5's around town
