whats teh power again?

was 314kw @ 18psi - though when i checked the peak after the on ramp it said 1.5 bar so that would mean just about 22 psi

This is the single most retarded article I've read in my life; belongs in the Herald Sun.

big call

[Birds]

big call

I know, but...things I learnt from that article:

- Hot hatches and utilities share the same target market

- GM managers are professional drivers

- 13 seconds variation across a 21km circuit is the difference between fast and leisurely

- Shooting for fastest ute around nurburgring (assuming it was the intention) and clocking slower times than non-utes means your plan backfired

- Hot hatches don't handle well and were designed for grocery shopping, not corners

I know what you mean Birds, but at least it's better than the usual drivel from cars guide. especially the 'ask smithy' smithy. "my car is 2yrs old and has problem X" smithy: "hmm we get a lot of letters from people with problem X. return to your dealer an see what they think"

didnt know Holden ute was on springs

[emts]

I know, but...things I learnt from that article:

- Hot hatches and utilities share the same target market well you can put stuff in the back of both

- GM managers are professional drivers Holden do have certified Nurburgring testers who are apparently the only ones allowed to test cars there, (according the wheels magaine last month)

- 13 seconds variation across a 21km circuit is the difference between fast and leisurely tell that to the person who came 2nd

- Shooting for fastest ute around nurburgring (assuming it was the intention) and clocking slower times than non-utes means your plan backfired if this is your Renault then yes..

- Hot hatches don't handle well and were designed for grocery shopping, not corners obviously

yes I'm bored

3 things...

1.Joshua looks like a Renault Megane driving shirtlifter, which explains the retarded article..

2.Lets see the Renault do a burnout, tow a boat, sell affordable spare parts etc etc...

3.That ute is f**king ugly

Arvada kedavra

Do agree about Holden going all Sarah Jessica Parker on the VF. Farking sick of car companies mimicking each other for design cues and ending up with travesties!

Cold weather can bring the boost level up here and there at times.

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

so was it a low boost setting that read 18?

cause if it's only tuned for 18 and its sitting on 22...

[Borci88]

Yeah double check Anthony, you still have the standard boost solenoid don't you? Definitely unusual to spike 4psi with that.

[Sunkist]

So I seemed to have sold the car.. Interesting

yeah its because i detailed it

[UNR33L]

lol @ the SS ute not sure what the VF has power wise but the VE has 260kw for the auto and 270kw for the manual

wouldn't mind seeing a new falcon GT or something on the ring

[Down_Shift]

So my misfiring appears to have came back from changing plugs....
It's got to be either plugs or coilpacks right guys?

[Count Grantleyish]

Changed the type of plugs or heat range?

[llama_au]

...

so what got everyone else into the addiction?

I've got a bit of an obsessive personality. At first my interest was music, one band in particular. I spent every moment living and breathing them. Then it was computers, same deal. And then I bought my first car. This one hobby will stay with me for life though...

[Down_Shift]

Changed to BCPR6ES-11.
First time giving it some it slightly misfired then stopped and now coming back.
Funny because when it happened, I gave it some again and it got better. By the 4-5th time going at it it pretty much stopped misfiring but just a quick little hicup at about 5k rpm.

[Count Grantleyish]

What gap is it?

[Miguelone]

1.1 unless they've been regapped out of the packet.
