Lee dunno why yours weigh so much. Searching up 16x7+42, people saying the 16x7.5+42 weigh 11.1lbs, which is 5kg. Unless yours is 7.5? Dont think any te in that size should be 8kg.

[Plattsy]

I saw a little toyota starlet the other day at Trent's pushing 190kw, he was going in for an ethanol tune.

There is no way you would expect to get thrashed by a micro car, with a baby on board sticker on the window. I'm all for it.

this.

and because i can.

[Plattsy]

although 190kw is mental. 100kw on ehtanol is a future target....

[blah_blah]

Pretty sure it was 4kg without tyre.

Haha yep. 2nd hand usually better.

When's sau winton day? Going tampered on 10th, I wanna beat my 53, especially when the 53 was my last lap of the day, and the car still had more in it. Gonna have even more in it now due to tyres.

17th May

That might be my first track day of the year. Not sure yet....

It all comes down to turbo selection, and yours should be good for similar powerz...

yea ill have the bolts capable of doing it..... but its if the engine can take the hammer this time round....

maybe the next one will.

You never know until you wind the boost up. E85 should help but there are no guarantees in this game.

[Plattsy]

i know.....

im excited.

need to get it on the road asap.

scotty mate of mine needs his clutch changed on his s15..... he has the clutch already.... wanna pm me a price to fit it for him????

you do clutches right?

[scotty nm35]

I can do anything you like for the right price Platts.

No idea how long it would take though. Is he mechanically minded? I might need a hand... Could save him some coin too.

[ARTZ]

Half a day but charge for a whole day...most places charge bout 400

[scotty nm35]

^ glad the weeties packet mechanic is here.

You want to help Dave?

Thinking of getting a major service done on my n/a r33, anyone know who/where the best mechanic is to take it? Just want to take it to someone whos had experience with these cars before, unless you guys think taking it to a local mechanic will be fine?

[scotty nm35]

The best mechanic is yourself.

The hardest part is the timing belt, everything else can be done by any spanner wielding mates and yourself, if you have the tools and space.

[ARTZ]

Hey the weeties packets mechanics car is just as fast as yours .

[Plattsy]

farkin you two.

[blah_blah]

Why aren't you sure? Scaredy?

Still need to shave the front suspension, fix heater hoses and oil cooler with Scotty Customs sometime

Then need to sort out suspension/alignment as Im sure I was hearing weird noises at Sandown. Steering wheel shakes a bit on the freeway. and for some reason the rear left sits a good 2-3cms closer to the body than the rear right

[scotty nm35]

Hey the weeties packets mechanics car is just as fast as yours remember.

Still proud of that external gate off the turbine TD06, you always remember your first time.
