Summoner, why do you say this? Now from what I've read with some Edit work and an exhaust a GTS will run around a 12.9, right? With the same sort of work on a GTS25t (ie computer, exhaust, on the stock turbo etc), you'll get a 12.9 as well. I think it was BOOSTD on this forum that has done this.

BTW I'm a validated regular over at the LS1 forums so I'm not one of these Holden haters. I'd be quite happy to see myself in an SSX in a few years.

Cheers,

Michael

This is true... But right now I can buy a damn nice second hand R32 GTR for $31,000 (quick plug for Ethan :mad: ), or I could buy a second hand GTS for about $80,000.

Ethan's car does the 0-100 dash in about 4.6 seconds (or something like that) and I wonder what the GTS would do? Not to mention how they would compare through the twisties.

When I buy a car I'm not interested in what they were worth when they came out onto the market, I'm interested in what my dollar can buy right now.

But I can see where your comming from, both are nice cars and both are full of potential.

Just comes down to personal preference. Hay they wouldn't have made the GTS if there wasn't a market for them !

merli, it's too much fun watching the bell-ends knock eachother to delete or lock this thread :)

apart from some offensive content which has just been pm'ed about, itseems okay to me. people just need to wake up a bit. if the thead continues, it might go down in the annals of history as the, "SEE THREAD XYZ" response to future wanky posts.

just my 0.02 :)

      Does 98ron contain ethanol?

      I remember the days when E85 was priced in according to the $ per km outcome. Sure E85 was about 35% cheaper, but you also lost about 35% range... now it's fked..

      A little PU bush story

      They do. The pale yellow translucent ones from Japan were .... I dunno. Useless? Whiteline and SuperPro are probably fairly similar. There's bound to be a range of different hardnesses amongst the dozens of options on the market. The simple fact is that the pineapples don't get up inside the bush at all. They just sort of exist in the space between the washer/bracket and the subframe's bush outer tube, and...exert a bit of force between them? Or something like that. I'm sure that with enough provocation, they will simply allow one to more wrt the other.

      I'm not sure they came in different hardnesses? Going from memory only - I had set them up in the balanced setup. I also have poly bushes, so I have both poly bushes and pineapples. This is what my memory tells me at least. I'll have to take a look under there to be sure. The tramp was so bad that I managed to eject/kill a diff bushing, so those I know are stock. The tramp is bad enough that you are 200% sure you are doing severe damage to the car. It's not just chirping or vibration, it feels like you're hitting a speed hump/kerb 10 times a second. The issue has persisted between subframes! (I went from Hicas to non hicas subframe and replaced every bush a few years ago now) so I'm entirely lost. Every arm is factory.

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      By Butters · Posted

      Can recommend the Frenchys kit, been using it 2 years now with no issue, very happy with it.  Only thing for me was upgrading the thermo fan but I am super fussy on cooling.   Also interested in electric AC, partly for boot mount to have a clean bay and partly would love the idea of cooling off the car before i get in. The battery setup to do that might be tricky / expensive though.  Found this an interesting watch.

      I put Whiteline pineapples in my old 33, they came in a 6 pack of them, got rid of the axle tramp altogether, cheap, quick and easy install,  they were pretty solid units though...???high durometer???? and NVH was increased a fair bit How hard are the ones you installed?
