heading back to phillip island tomorrow, need some more waves before summer is gone. picking this up tomorrow: http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/hampton/surfing/brand-new-morey-body-board-still-in-plastic/1036118933

Just ask Schapelle Corby and see if she still have hers.

saw a brand new VF calais today with a strange australian-themed plate. Was desert sunset with a windmill in the background and just Australia beneath the numbers.

Do you think with the nail in the coffin of the commodore, that australia will develop its own species of smug that compares to californians driving Prius'?

"oh, you bought a new commodore. good for you!" *thumbs up*

its not like they'e australian owned. Or else we wouldnt be having this issue. they could sell 20 million new commodores and still pull the pin. There is no export market, and not enough money to make in Aus to make it worthwhile. Sounds like a great cause to support.... :wacko:

Really want the Alfa 4C in Australia :(

Not that I'd fit in it, but that would be a seriously fun machine out of the box. <900kg, 180kw turbo 1.8, 0-100 in ~4.2 seconds and they're planning a 220kw engine.

Finally an Alfa with balls that looks good and doesn't cost hundreds of thousands.

    • I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.            
    • Awesome writeup and details. Thanks for sharing the story so far. I can relate to parts of it with my previous car and some of the issues I had to deal with.
    • Wow the colour matched hard top completely transforms the car. Are there any nice front lip options for the car or is that off the table?
    • Generally yes but for some reason I've been ruthless this time around!  I might even need to do another tip run after the way I've finally been able to hit the delete button on shit I've stepped over, stepped around and tripped over for the past 10 years!
    • I just quote the Rolling Stones. Paint it black.
