that's falcon... getting my lowered r32 out there is nothing short of a miracle...

not only its steep its also narrow with walls running at each side so theres not much room for going sharp turns and similar maneouvres

anyone else wants to rant about their driveway lol?

i hate my driveway.

Apart from it being uneven bricks it has a power pole about 30cm from the driveway on the driverside pulling in , which results in some epic 3 wheeling action as my suspension is stiff as shit

and this is how it is when i reverse it in

i have a rounded gutter to drive in and out of.

then i have to go down hill to the garage where it then levels out almost instently leaving very little room to get a car into the garage without ripping the front bar off on the step up from the driveway to under the garge.

ive also ripped the front bar off the old 32 on my gf's driveway. the corner of the front bar cought on the end of the drive way and held it while i kept driving back.

great fun

have to take a photo of flicks driveway to add to this thread next time i down there. Its like a hmungously mutated speedhump, couldnt get her old 32 out in 1 go, had to back out angled(concrete fene on either side so not much room to angle either) then go forward and turn to create more angle. Now that was a pain in the ass!

My driveway was fairly steep... I called up the council told em the driveway was too steep for my new car so they came round and re-did it free of charge! City of Port Adelaide Enfield FTW!

That's what im trying to do... already wrote to them today and now waiting for answer.. im in west torrens tho, but i heard councils are pretty helpful with these things

    • The 1000ccs are side feeds but they're not currently installed, had my old factory ones in for leak testing purposes, only decided on them because front facing plenums and good top feed rail kits are out of my budget at the moment, are they really that problematic? Had a set of yellow jackets that lasted me 5 years, no real issues, only replaced them chasing this misfire issue that ended up not being ignition related 😄  
    • Are those 1000cc side feeds? If so, that's part of your problem. I have 1480cc and they idle at stoich on 98RON, and all the way to E85. Also your coil packs.....
    • Update for the sake of closure   Ended up getting the intercooler piping all sorted, new plugs and yellow jacket coils, and she was idling mint until it warmed up while I was bleeding the cooling system. Found the misfire to be localised to cyl 3 by unplugging coilpacks, ran a compression test, that checked out, then decided to get a mate to check if that spark plug was firing out of the motor. Upon cranking it over, with the injectors disconnected, the car actually fired and ran on a couple cylinders and heaps of fuel came out the top of cyl 3 I'd say that injector's either spraying incorrectly or spraying far too much, which is fine as I'm planning on replacing them anyway I'm planning on making about 250kW on flex fuel, and have a set of 1000cc injectors from ozautosport, obviously overkill but I'm planning on building the motor and running more boost further down the line, do you reckon they'd be too big for a smooth idle on 98? Thanks for the replies gents, much appreciated
    • I'm confused. You said you want to "remove the clear coat from most panels" but it sounds like you are actually doing a full respray? Few random things to add -  If you chase the blistered paint with 120 grit, I can almost guarantee you'll chase it down to bare metal (that's fine). But if you paint the car from here, you'll have nice little indents where ever the blistered paint was. The new paint won't magically level out the low areas, you need to fill them. Which leads me to the main point I wanted to add, make sure the whole car is flat before you paint it. All those areas with blistered paint you sanded out, make sure to fill them and triple check they are flat with a block guide coat. I'd also check the whole car is flat with a large block and guide coat but yeah up to you if you want to go that far.
