this... hence going an Evo... 230rwkw in evo form will be the minimum power i think i'd be able to handle

I love the idea of the BRZ but i just cant deal with having a 6.3 kw car, and i'm not modding a new car

No golf?

Sounds like you're using E-go Jono...

taking all the fairings off to get em re painted. thinking just black for everything

will i need to notify vicroads for changing colours?

Yes, a simple phone call though.

Haha used to use that courier all the time cause they are without doubt the cheapest pricks around. I used to be able to send a gearbox on a friggen skid to South Australia for $20.

They save you money when you choose to drop off/pickup from a depot too...doubt your sender passedthe discount onto you though. It will be there tomorrow I'm guessing.

Technically I got free postage. Asked what the cheapest he could do pick up. Said x, then i was like, cheapest posted to melburn. x. win win.

Plus, i'm never home when they deliver the stuff. So its better when I can pick it up from the depot.

yeh... while it's definately the better family car i have read enough reviews and spoken to enough owners now to know it's not enough for me to have fun in.

the esp/tc is hardwired and can NOT be turned off. so even when you are on a racetrack with tc/esp turned off and the car detects an "emergency procedure" (hard entry to corner / slide / hard braking) the computer takes over and cuts all power.

gayer than a handbag full of rainbows

evo 8 MR will be next

just wanted to say thanks to all the people who gave me some advice and said it was worth sending a letter to try get out of the speeding ticket i got a few months ago

i recieved a letter back today with the infringment being removed and just an offical warning!

so when i get around to attending garage cafe soon i owe a few of you a drink or two for saving me a bit of cash :D thanks!

    • I'm pretty much healed up post surgery so I spent another almost full day out in the shed re-arranging everything to make room for all of the shit that I've taken off the car.  I need to get everything off the floor and away from the car for when I start making a massive mess stripping off the remaining body deadener and then for the the painting process.  Almost got the shed to a point now where I feel I can actually start working on the car again (clean shed clean mind or something!).  Almost 11 years of accumulated car parts, building supplies, tools, junk, etc have taken a long time to get in some sort of order again!  Most stuff is now boxed up and in the back shed if it's not car related.  Most people would still be horrified walking into my shed but it's significantly better than it was before!   For those that saw my separate post the other day, yeah I ordered one.... This version- I convinced myself to stop being a clown, wake up to yourself and realise it will take you 5 weeks to make one by which stage you're over working on the car again...  Maybe I am getting on top of my "mental ailments" and making smarter choices.... $1450 delivered which will take my miserable half-dutch arse a few days to get over having spent that much!  If I don't have a use for it straight away after my car is off it I might even see if there is a "rental market" for them.  See if anyone wants to hire it for a period of time.  $25 a week or something like that.  I'll worry about that when my car is actually ready to come off it though as that might be a while away!! There's now no excuses now for not ending up with an underside you could eat off! Away for kids sport the next few weekends so hopefully can get the rotisserie assembled ready to go for the car to go straight on it the next available weekend.    
    • I always use my Karcher, but it's only a little one that I picked up from Supercheap  The only issue I ever had with a pressure washer was when I was a kid cleaning coaches, they had a hi-po industrial sized petrol jobbie that would strip paint if you got to close I saying this, we have a fairly high power washer at work with a diesel powered heater that sprays water at about 60°c, it works great for removing old wax and road grime on the underbody after some foam cannon action, albeit from a "stand off" distance of a few feet
    • Sorry no - The sandtrap adventure ended the day, happened at the end of the last session. At that time I wasn't hearing any weird noises nor were the brakes shuddering anymore. It was only when watching the videos that I remembered I had these sounds early on!
    • Did the noise appear after your sand trap adventure? Could be something got dislodged and is playing rub rub. Even a rock wedged somewhere.
    • Is there a shroud around the tailshaft spline into the back of the box? They can rub and make a horrible noise if they are not on straight/damaged. The heat might have caused it to grow too much in one direction and rub.
