you have my sympathy however...

i wouldnt worry to much about it, from all my breakups and shit the next girl ive been with was better than the last

there are plenty out there and i wouldnt stress about it, its over move on enjoy life

That's true, but I didn't break up with her because she wasn't good enough or anything.

This girl was amazing. She would do anything me, she was 110% gorgeous, career planned out and a heart of gold... but I just decided that at this stage in life I don't want to be held back in any way. I want to get serious about my music and career (which could be leading places soon).

I also lost alot of friends because I was seeing her instead.

So yeah... In short, I needed the freedom. It's good so far, just a bit lonely :) Will be depressing sleeping alone and waking up without her.

Wheelspin in every gear except 5th. Yep, fun :)

Awww, I thought I was cool wheel spinning 1st 2nd and partially 3rd :) But mine is NA.. with like 125rwkw.

But hey, that power figure is huge. The power/weight ratio must be insane. How much does the car weigh?

I'm getting my new MR2 in a week or so. Weighs around 1150kg (with potential to shed more) and engine puts out 180kw stock. It's had a few mods (IC, fuel pump etc.) and running 15psi.

Should be pretty quick yeah? ;)

I'm not sure exactly, I haven't had it on a weighbridge. They weigh 1095kg stock. I'd say mine would weigh maybe 1150kg now? Just guessing.

Pretty good power to weight yeah :)

Your MR2 should be reasonably nippy.

i think you have done the right thing mate and in time you will realise that alot more. you need to concentrate on your career alot more for a few years like i have done and it does really help.

all the best with your career, by the sounds of it you will do well. :ermm:

dyno'd the golf at a mate's shop for shiggles. 80fwkw. bahahaha. POS 8 valve 4 cyl SOHC is gutless as. Does 8.5L/100km tho.

Also, factory paint flips from puple to blue, and in the dark looks black. Thing's gonna be a kent to colourmatch.

well turns out the evo has ghey as 1/4's, as much as they look wide you cant fit a 17x9.5 +17 on the rear without it sticking out about an inch

and aint no way im flaring them to suit

why make front guards that fit wider wheels than the rear O_o

oh well have to find something in the vacinity of 17x9 +25

    • Damn it, I was at work last night, and stayed in a room there during the storm with the car outside, but undercover, I just went downstairs and well....there was a large steel locker that has come from some place last night, it wasn't anywhere I could see yesterday, and yeap, it landed on the fraking car....of course it did..... LOL So, I'll need to take it back for paint and panel, luckily it was only the boot that took the hit, so it could have been worse Serves me right for staying at work and getting on the cans with some of the boys
    • Yeah, really happy with how it all turned out As for aftermarket lip, nah, I'm not really a fan for practically reasons on a street car that gets driven everywhere  I did have the full lower kit on my 2015 STI, but found the front lip scrapped alot, even at stock 4x4ish ride height As the NC sits now, with the lowest point of the car at 110mm, so just legal, some steep driveways and steep speed humps will still "just" scrap those little plastic OEM air dam thingies on the undertray just before the front wheels
    • Here's one I help build and tuned a decade ago, Garrett  GTX3071R Gen 1, T3 twin scroll 0.83 rear housing. Went from larger 272 cams down to smaller Tomei Poncams to help with the low end. S13 non VCT motor. Car was purpose built for the track, hence low down was the focus. Note the actual dyno chart shows lower boost, however the EBC and boost gauge showed 1.9Bar (Ignore the torque, I was young and didn't know how to set derived torque)  
    • I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.            
    • Awesome writeup and details. Thanks for sharing the story so far. I can relate to parts of it with my previous car and some of the issues I had to deal with.
