^^ Haha... mine's going to be the "family car" so its fast enough as is. Ben's will always be the stupidly fast/loud one :D

Congrats on the purchase babe. I was looking at it too incidentally (before I committed to buying the house LOL), but I've never liked buying any car with so many kms on it. But $15K for a 260 is still $15K for a 260. So when are you taking me for a cruise in it? :)

BTW are you and Ben going to meet up with me and the others before cruising in our "family cars" to the Auto Salon? :D

I can certainly live with a 97 model stagea doing an average of 13500ks a year. Like i said, if i didn't know the car was mechanically sound, i wouldn't have bought it.

No one can burst my happy bubble about this car LOL!

We are heading in today, we'll be there about 12. Where are you guys meeting up?

Meeting a few guys at 12 not far away from Wayville. PM sent about it.

Hey, if something breaks on your 260, you can always 'borrow' parts off Ben's 260 :D

"Honey, the indicator is not flashing, can I see if your turbo grades will fix it?" :)

Enjoy ya 260 when you get it ... I'm just jealous :D

The reason why he was selling it so cheap as i mentioned before, is he had to all of a sudden move countries!! We were just in the right situation at the right time, thanks to Joel buying the GTR. The reason for the car being a bargain Didn't have everything to do with the k's on the clock.

I'll let you have a drive roo...

He's already looking at bits he can steal for his!!

thought I saw you and ben yesterday on the Parade at Norwood around mid day... crossed over for a closer look and it was not Bens black 260rs s1 but one I have never seen before. Was nice meeting up before the salon to cruise in with some other wagons. Also looks like bens enjoying not having the front tailshaft in at the moment? :thumbsup:

      I am currently going this route. I am curious how much horse power you put behind the cut bell housing? Collins was telling me I am going to crack it and bluh bluh bluh. Because I didn’t buy the custom fly wheel from him. I am looking for somewhere around like 500 hp

      Thanks @PranK for the updated member status, much appreciated! 👍🏼 Now, about those pics… Unfortunately I could only find ones that I took in the dark. I was soon to discover that underneath it wasn’t in the best shape, but it was mine and that’s all I cared about at the time 😆

      A little PU bush story

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Oh, and only having done this task yesterday, I've now driven the car ~60km since, and while it is hard to avoid placebo effect and confirmation bias, I reckon that some annoyances I had with the way the car has been behaving have improved. Which....kinda makes sense, I guess. If the bushes were really stiff and resisting rotation, they would have been contributing to the effective wheel rate. And if it was more so on one side (which it was, because one side was worse than the other) then.... you might imagine that the additional rate would be asymmetric, and potentially even different between compression and rebound. And so... the car has been twitchy at higher speeds - like freeway on ramps. It really shouldn't be. The wheel alignment is good and there are no (other) known problems elsewhere in the suspension. But at 90-100 on a long sweeping ramp, tiny steering wheel motions would make it feel like it wanted to rear steer. Quite nervous. At lower speeds it would heave about in a manner that it didn't use to. Didn't want to put power down, etc etc. Now...seems to behave better. Am going to have to concentrate on the various corners where it has exhibited weirdness, on the rare occasions when I can get a decent run at them without Methanial getting in the way in his D-Max/Ranger/LDV Van/etc.
