toyota gotta stop with the bad named cars. LFA, that name for 86 concept, and now the FT1. if its not an affordable sports car not interested, because once the price comes up, its becomes an over-complicated, heavy, hard to repair/mod, luxury swollen POS.

shieeet, i didnt think they were considering load shedding today. retailers gonna have to ream customers next bill.

price went from around $50MWh wholesale, to $750MWh yesterday. interstate generators gonna make a looooot of moola. Alcoa (portland and geelong) will probably call off most work tomorrow. save money and take some stress off the grid. if the desal was running it would probably do the same (lol)

The FT1 isn't the name for the car that it's going to be, it's just a placeholder "Future Toyota 1".

I think it looks quite awesome, but it will be closer to the 6 figure mark unfortunately.

yeah? why did they not upgrade the generation capability when they could have?

They both look awful, new cars are terrible.

Understand old cars better looking and cooler.

but the hassle with daily driving one is a bitch,

Day I bought my mustang, had it parked middle of the day in Bouke street CBD for 30 min whilst I ducked into work.

Badges gone.

had 6-8 badges stolen, antenna (seriouslly wtf) fuel filler cap, multiple mirrors,

and when the cost to repair the paint damage froma badge is more than the badge as they ripped a screwdriver down the side of the car, it jsut not worth it.

my ideal daily is small, manual, cheap to run.and good visability

I was looking at a VW up to be honest but holding out for a year or so to see what is coming out atm, if I they do a S16, I'm on it like a fat kid on a twinkie..well like me on a twinkie anyhow.

just for aaron as posted to drift sales last night.

You should've seen the spider wondering around the garden in lanka.. The thing had 8 legs, + two more legs that had like lobster claws.

    • No. The simplest wastegate hookup, with no solenoid or other form of "boost control" (ie, control over your boost control, if you know what I mean) is a single hose, direct from the turbo outlet/hot pipe, straight and only to the wastegate actuator. It is that pressure signal that drives the wastegate to open, providing the boost control (and by "boost control" here, I mean, limiting how high it can go, which is essentially the spring pressure of the actuator). You only end up with tee pieces and alternate flow paths once you start adding things to the boost control system to allow you to determine how much of that boost signal makes it to the actuator. There are so many ways to do that that there is no single way to run the hoses and tees and the like. If you have a stock boost solenoid, then all it does is either allow all the boost signal to go to the actuator, or open up to allow some of it to bleed off. There needs to be a restriction in that bleeder to allow only a small amount to bleed off. And in a stock system, that would then be plumbed back to the turbo inlet (for "emissions control" reasons). That is actually what that nipple on your BOV return pipe could/would be for. If you have an aftermarket boost controller and solenoid, then the above is mostly true, but there is no need for a restrictor in the bleed, because the solenoid is pulse width modulated to create a variable bleed off. The air that escapes from the bleed can either be vented, or also returned to the turbo inlet. For emissions reasons it should be returned to inlet, but the amount of air being vented is so small that it really doesn't matter (either from an emissions perspective, or from an air-fuel ratio affecting perspective).
    • And other times you just need to go buy bigger injectors?
    • Yup. I actually just blew my turbo. LOL.  should have checked this thread before today. i also have no boost solenoid. so it should be...one line from wastegate to turbo inlet, and a T somewhere in that line that connects to the wastegate return pipe?
    • It's recommended, however I can assure you a good amount of people don't bother. FWIW, the OEM battery lasted 4.5 years and I changed it prematurely too, I reckon could have stretched it to 5 years.
    • Are you telling me I'm going to need a code reader etc to just change the battery when it dies...  Why did I let you talk me into allowing Kate to buy this car lol
