Ah man but you'll get to drive around in an Evo soon yeh?

Yes and No.

Depends on when a good car comes up and if I can get it at the right price.

Always a poor showing from us ;)

So poor, even when people have expressed interest to do something on the weekend, nothing happens :P

We need your guidance our Great Leader :worship:

I advise we all pack up and move to coastal areas where the car scene is still strong! Sure they've pretty much killed it off in the retirement village of a town we live in a.k.a Toowoomba but I know for a fact she's pretty strong / unchanged in other areas with shitloads of day/night cruises and meets every month! Some of the coastal/interstate fellas on my facebook do runs and meets in their liners every week!

Need to move there peeps....that's what I'm doing. You can come back to Toowoomba when you're ready to die / chase kids of your front lawn :P

Toowoomba could have a good scene if we were motivated enough to do cruises

Ah Chris, I've talked to a couple peeps about it and what it boils down to is that the guys are just too scared to take their cars out around here. You see all these nice rides during rush hour but t-bar is pretty much dead on a sunday afternoon these days (where a couple years ago there would have been plenty of JDM and american/italian muscle out and about. They're scared about driving around in a convoy and even more nervous about hard parking. It's sad hey?

I wish things were different.

On the plus side though I did get my wheels done so now she has 4 glossy black shoes! Now we just need to spray the Silvia black and then it's photoshoot time if anyones keen for a bit of a pose ;)

Might be getting a professional photographer later in the year too (speaking of photos)...some of ya's might be up for a groupie! He's that Hackenberg guy / NPHO on facebook. Killer photos!

Conversely, stories of the 5oh being tougher on simple things like front mounts, bov's and pod filters in brissy/GC, are well versed. I am sure there would be contingent in these areas that feel just as paranoid as you do, Tom.

I went for a nice putt on Sunday arvo (cause nothing happened :P) and don't recall seeing one cop car and have never had a drama with them for a long while.

I used to go everywhere in the old girl and only got pulled over once in 4 years here in tbar.

That was for suspected BOV cos he heard the flutter. They were nice and let me go shortly after a visual check.

Don't be an arse and don't do silly things = no trouble from nobody :)

BTW, saw the Clint mobile going down Hume bout 5pm today. Just turned onto Hume from Margaret in the "new old girl".

Looked very clean and understated...just the way you'd want it to be these days for all you paranoid peeps LOL

Going to scope out 3 evos in Bris tomorrow. Hope they live up to expectations :thumbsup:

    • You have the option to do this. Nobody but me ever did this (go slower, I mean) Everyone seems to fall victim to "This would be a great setup for you, but for me, I need a little more power..."
    • Save yourself the headache of an alarm. Immobilizer on the signal side of the main EFI relays so it won't start is good enough. DIY killswitch is the same thing except instead of a nice passive system you need to remember to switch it on and off.
    • Yeah, the advent of canbus was supposed to cut down on wiring weight, then some bright marketing wonk says "oh, look at all these wonderful tech gadgets we can cram in here now that we have this wonderous technology" and some arsehole safety legislator says "oh, look at all the wonderful surveillance and tracking gadgets we can cram in here now that we have this wonderous technology" and some dipshit young engineer who has grown up thinking that an extra 500000 lines of code is not a problem because storage is cheap these days says "oh look at all this wonderful shit I can do to one up those dipshit arsholes over at VW" and the Karens of the world all go "oh look at all these fancy things I can do on my screen (so long as I am not driving on a bumpy road wherein touch screens immediately become the single most stupid shit idea ever shoveled into a car) and my 19 zone airconditioning keeps my sweaty fat folds a bit less damp and the windows close themselves because I'm too fat and lazy to wind them up for myself and these reversing sensors would have been great if I'd paid attention to them instead of smashing them on the bollard while I was reversing and staring fixedly forward that day I went to pick up little Charlize from ballet" and the sweaty mongoloids who say "oh this wonderful collision avoidance technology with these 45 excellent radar antennae scattered across the front of my car mean I can tailgate like a methed up tradie at full speed with no fear because the car and the 35 airbags will protect me if it all goes wrong" ...... </shallistopranting?>
    • There's a post from a member (can't recall who), went down the path of a twin scroll G30-660 and it's doing over 300kW+ AND comes on about the same as a high flow RB25DET turbo. Have your cake and eat it too in this case. TBH, if I had a 2nd chance of building my car again (i.e. someone gave me what I wanted for my shit box, but the deal was I had to re-build another R33 and keep the change) I would just pop in a stock NEO motor (with new seals, rod bearings, ARP studs, head gasket, sump, Nitto pump), get a smaller twin scroll turbo, modify the stock low mount (keep the divider in place), and make a solid 300kW on 98RON and call it a day.
