Wait... So is this the car who's owner posted above? Why's it saying in the article that its owned by the Tran twins?

(I'm surprised it's not running an SR20... though I guess they do pull a premium before WTAC...)

The article says BYP is owned by the twins

I stand corrected... Article is pretty vague however... If its going to be their promo car, they sure are ripping him off a lot... and if the EG has moved on from BYP, that WTAC article really shouldn't still be there promoting the car... That said, it was probably written over a month ago..

Drove my first Porsche (only a cayman) today. Very low to the ground with small windscreen. Cockpit feels very similar to the s2k.

The PDK gearbox was cool, it rev matched on deceleration & gears changed without feeling anything

Handled quite well and suspension was firm. Could only imagine how much fun it would be with a proper engine :P

I did like the engine being behind, did sound nice when I gave it some poke

they sorely need more power though, they are gutless wonders.

Was considering one as a daily for this very reason! Daily + weekender in one!

Reliability and expenses scare me though!

bosses ones have been fairly reliable (3x cayennes (2 diesel, 1 GTS) + cayman + 911 turbo)

only real issues have been the radio/bluetooth randomly dropping out/not connecting.

Average wage is a rort.... It is skewed by high income earners and not corrected by people on negative income

Median wage is just over $50k which seems somewhat legit.

FWIW the average wage in ACT is $85k (no prize in guessing why)

i dont make the average wage for the ACT.

dissapoint :(

Can confirm driving Euro is a slow death. Current daily is a 2001 auto astra.

Had to put this in my driveway for a day or two to remind me of what its like to drive a real car (even though its technically euro... but I guess so is a honda accord)

yes, but its a euro with a toyota drive line. so its not always broken.

The GPS unit is f**king useless too.

Way to play catch up in Vic wl.

500k borrowed for first home? Is this normal? Don't these hypothetical young couples have a decent deposit?

even my normally fairly broke ass will only be borrowing ~300k on my first place in a year or two. who needs their first place to be worth 500k + deposit.

    • Hi soviet_merlin, We appreciate your concern regarding this possibly being some sort of PR/Political hype, I assure you that is not the case, I wish we could claim something like that, but in this case, we merely reached out for comment on the basis of the outrage we too felt, as those heavily in the automotive industry. Ps. the original source in the social media post is CarExpert not CarExplore.    Best, CE.
    • Made a bit of a discovery, but while I was cruising, I randomly decided to test to see if it worked and it showed up on my IC7. The entire time I tested it before, I never thought to turn the ignition on. I only tested it with head lights turned on but with the ignition off. Huge oversight on my end. I’m a dummy. I know. 
    • G'day all, I have drilled and tapped the hole for the relocation of the timing belt tensioner. That was straight forward. I'm unsure if I need to also put another hole for the smaller stud that the spring behind the tensioner catches on (this is how it seems to work in its original spot). Or do you not use the spring behind it and just torque it down? Thanks in advance, I did a search but couldn't find anything related and it doesn't mention it in the rb30det sau guide.
    • Hi All,  just thought I would provide an update as I know smooth (Matt) was on this forum from 2003.    my brother Matthew passed away end of may 2024 at the age of 41 from liver failure. I am not sure how many of his original team krazy friends are still on here or active but thought it reasonable to let the forum know.    if you have any photos or pictures it would be great if you could share them.    it took me a while to work out he was active on here.    thanks so much
