Yeah well being a mechanic I thought servicing would be easy, just parts I hear are expensive.

fair nuff. you've obviously chosen it because you like the look of em, so would be hard to swing you towards a different hatch. possibly of Japanese design/parts and good ol' Australian construction. I know some people with a few for sale. a white one stands out in particular. it's only $4500 drive away :P

Watanabe san's 930 only make 360rwhp from a n/a 3.8 6cyl... But bear in mind it also weighs just under a ton....

+ I'd say it's a totally different characteristic of a car.

Both good in their own ways.

Anybody know anything about the 4th Gen Golfs? I'm thinking about getting one as a daily.

I wasn't saying 360rwhp isn't enough.... I was stating that the car is light as a feather and as such 360rwhp is pretty fkn quick.

equivalent of about 275rwkw per tonne... which is a FAST.... would bang /10

busy busy man working, wedding planning blah never ends man!

wait till you have a kid lol....

Had an STI owner compliment my car at the lights...I thought that was nice given no one seems to give a shit about R33 GTS-Ts anymore! He had 340hp at the wheels, fair mumbo for a Rex.

Aww that's nice. Your car is beautiful :)

~250kw, not too bad, needs more though.

i remember having a quick google, and on the subie forums i just kept seeing "any more you need to rebuild engine first" etc comments...

unlike le evo :P

    • Probably a smart choice to buy one vs build, purely for the motivation part as you said! Imagine the metal dust everywhere from grinding all the steel to build one. Ha ha ha!   Also, post a photo of your garage.   Mine is below, this is where I've been cleaning and have already half filled a caged 6*4 trailer. And this is after my cleaning expedition mentioned previously... The middle normally has a car in it, but I'm dumping things in the middle as I sort through them. And poor skyline was dusty and has had the lightest few drops of rain and now it looks atrocious and needs to be dragged back out and washed thoroughly! And yes to the right is technically another bay, you really can only see 2 bays out of 3 in this picture.  
    • It's more like on average the things I see a lot of things going wrong. Yes, usually the people who reach out are the ones who are having problems but on average it feels like mechanics and tuners here aren't really competent. I swing between thinking my standards are just way too high and wondering whether people really are just this dumb. I just had the strangest 10+ reply argument on a Facebook group over someone insisting that the factory R34 GTT boost control solenoid reduces boost pressure to 5 psi when it's on and raises boost pressure to 7 psi when it's off despite showing the exact plumbing in the factory service manual and the solenoid behavior detailed in the FSM.
    • I steam cleaned my near new set of volk gtc wheels 14 years ago and farrkkked them lol. The clear coat cracked like spider webbing in several areas. Lesson learnt don't do that. 😭
    • If you don't touch the CAS, then you're fine.
    • Yeah, my moulds and seals are 32 years old now. I think I will continue to not use a pressure washer on it.
