farkin christmas presents. Could have spent that money on something more useful.... like on my car :turned:

On another note; found 55pounds from last holiday on my prepaid travel credit card. winning!

Man I'm watching my bank account drop its fkn annoying. Especially that I only get paid monthly.

Yeh my Missus has the rx8 GT 2nd gen. The last one actually. Bit slow, but I still like it. Great fun to drive

Yeah I didn't mint it to be honest, he's a very big unit though so always good to give him a tease about it. Looks very funny driving it.

It was pretty quick, handled very well I thought. Definitely not used to that sort of power delivery though. Reckons it does 0-100 in about 6.2? Or something along those lines. Found that pretty surprising but I'd be keen to see what it can do on a track.

Ahh okay excellent, do you remember roughly what kilometres that was done at? I just ticked to 150,xxx so it's on my mind :P

im pretty sure it was nearly spot on 100K

ahah yeah i can understand :P

im about to start collecting parts for my next 100K

I think it takes a little longer than that.. But yeh I'm really keen to throw it at a deca or something but she'll never let me lol

Just an update on the car

Looks as though the theif thrashed the car on 91 Octane which may have led to the car breaking down

No biggie engine is covered under insurance. So rebuild here I come

Not yet.

Still waiting to get the car inspected by justcars, then Im going to get it inspected independently.

Process might take about 2-3 weeks as everyone is closed or on holiday.

Mechanical is covered under insurance, so if its a blown engine then yeah new engine rebuild

Had a rolling with Leigh...1.5 car lengths, I'm happy with that!

Lol we gotta go for longer next time :P

good fun though, makes me want to go out looking for races tonight - would be interesting to see flat road and like a 30km/h roll on I reckon! let me know if you feel like shenanigans later

Just abit worrying that if they see manifolds hi flow intercooler etc and then not cover it.

lol do it

personally im prob going to go for -9's

Then I'd need to get bigger injectors, up rated afm, clutch, and spare $ for rebuild in case mine dies...

Not a bad way to piss money down in the drain!

Would if it wasn't cop season...get the feeling the defect squad will be out in force with holiday season. Gotta protect the people from front mount intercoolers and paint chips.

I was thinking of heading down Prinny (bro) later with a few of the ford forum boys, but yeah they'll be major cop action later.

For those of you round Donny (bro) there were a couple of HP cars between the Blackburn Rd exit on the Eastern and Doncaster road. On the access road.

    • 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.
