Lol yeah well you are now driving a steam roller

The really twisty bit between Buckets Way and home was good BUT a lot of crap roads for that small patch of fun!

[Ruxis]

haha the wide body does look sick but bit un-nessesary for me atm hah. 200kw isnt that hard to control.

[GTR-34A]

hahaha yep.

have you driven from dungog to stroud? stroud hill road i think, there is a really twisty bit, plenty of hair pins.. crap roads eaither side but that section is fun. and the stretch from gresford to dungog is also pretty good, again a few real tight bits which is really fun, but crap roads either side again.

the good thing on a bike is the road dont need to be quite as good to have alot of fun on them, especially when your learning!

Yep that is the road i meant! Carmen to a screeshot of the GPS and its just a spaghetti road!

It was fun in the 34 but was still a bit bumpy as the front would bottom out under hard braking and cornering! (Of course doing the speed limit the whole time)

Just got back from the 11 hour drive getting the car.

It has a sticky fuel gauge so we played it safe and refueled every 200km's. To my surprise with highway driving + a bit of stop start in Sydney it managed about 9-10l/100ks...

Is it just me or is that pretty awesome for a car with 330rwkw. We punched it a few times here and there as well but mostly just cruising.

Where did you pick that up from?

330rwkw sounds like itd be a good kick in the pants!

Got it from Junee mate and I have driven it up to Port Macquarie to be stored at my Parents house for the time being.

I am pretty stoked on it, its in very good nic with the only issues being a couple oil leaks (cam cover seals and what I believe to be the oil drain pipe off the turbo). Will be getting onto those when I can.

I also came across another strange occurence with the car just now when I was down in the garage admiring my purchase haha. I made a thread here if anyone wants to have a look and offer any info/advice.

Also while Im at it, is it safe if I degrease / use a gurni on my engine bay? I just want to degrease it the best I can so I can spot exactly where these leaks are coming from. Whats the best method

[Ruxis]

people do gurni but you can try to avoid electrics all you like and you may still f**k something haha,

I pressure pack degreaser things if im looking for a leak etc then run it to see where it leaks from, more direct and safer.

as far as cleaning I think people armorall the engine bay? spray on wipe off.
gurni could chips paint on engine covers or paint in engine bay so id play it safe and do It the hard way

What Ruxis said

I find carbi cleaner is great but don't use on a hot engine or while running

10klms a litre is good economy that's about what mine gets and it's got 100 kw or so less than yours

[Ruxis]

I use to get around 500km on fwy and 200 going to work and back (nothing but cold engine so dumping lots of fuel in)

Anyone around the area have a car or know of someone with Bride Zeta III seats? Like the look of them, but want to sit in them first.
