Mugabetown - Whoretownin' At It's Worst.


Recommended Posts

Hoping Ants. Im trying to hold of guess-timations of power out put etc on this one. As long as it doesnt make less that 588 [Cant see how this would be possible] I will be happy.

I just want to have this car semi-reliable and be able to just enjoy driving and racing it for the winter time. Its spent far to much time and money over the past 8 months in workshops

i hear ya Scottie re spending money in workshops and not being able to drive it.

Reliability is one of the key pillars for me.

Power comes third after handling as well

You're too smart ants. I always chase the power first lol. Ah well. Mine only really goes fast in straight lines anyways.

If i was more into mountain runs etc I'd not have made the modifications I have.

Mountain runs are more fun. :-P

Thats why I don't get concerned with final power figures, focus on how you want it to drive and forget about the power figure.

Put a big single on it make bulk power and scare the sheet out of people when it comes on, like tony said Martin only makes 320ish woopy do, how are you supposed to have a circle jerk over those kind of figures.

There is parts of me that really want to get involved in it. However the exact events that happened to Zac are really what keeps me away. I think Ideally aswell, my car in its current state has to much power and isnt responsive enough to have good mountain runs

He also beat you at the drags - with those figures.

Your car is probably beyond the point of mountains now. Doesn't turn fast enough and probably isn't responsive enough. You really need a light chassis with power that's readily available. It's the proven formula. Learning how to use a steering wheel will prevent falls.

Pete,

Big ass single, Precision 6466, big exhaust cam and slightly smaller inlet cam, possible stroker & head work. Should nett you some healthy numbers whist hopefully having decent response

More to the point, I had a poorly tuned stock ls1... Like I said woopy do, if you don't have cubes but have the technology why put a potato in your exhaust?

Get a big evil turbo and turn the numbers everyone likes to see lol

    • I like it when the counter chick leads you out the back into the racks and says "have a grub around in here and see if you can find what you need. I'll be back in a few minutes. Just left me in front of a massive motorised shelving system and 2-3 million fasteners, so I could find a peculiar SS shoulder bolt with cap head. Gotta love country towns.
    • I used this https://osgiken.com.au/product/os-giken-os-250r-lsd-gear-oil-80w250-1-litre/   shut my nismo 1.5 pro up by heaps…. Not silent though. Gives the car character and personality. It ain’t a carolla. If you want silent, put a quaife in it.
    • It's about the same time for me from Bunnings, or the Fasteners. My big push away from takeaway food, and gluten in general keeps me away from the Bunnings Snags too! Weather up here, I've been out for two walks today in the beautiful sunshine. Had a few little drizzles, and some wind, that honestly, a tin of beans and I could compete on how harsh she blows Thankfully, being this bit inland, we're not getting anything much really. Will probably pick up a bit more when/if Cyclone Alfie decides to come ashore. A few areas in the GC though, and south into NSW are really getting smashed though! Right now, I'm just annoyed Alfie hasn't hit, as I'm not allowed to crack into the BBQ foods like the bacon and eggs until the Cyclone hits "In case we lose power"...
    • I love fastener joints, the price difference between them and joints like Bunnings or Super Cheap is amazing, and they either have exactly what you want, or they can get it to quick They have even given me some for free when I only needed a couple of specific size In saying this, I have paid premium for fasteners from Bunnings if they have the sizes I need, but only for convenience really, as my local is only 10 minutes away, the Sushi joint near them is also a consideration  How's the weather Matt? Stay safe mate
    • Wideband is worth setting up if only for tuning purposes. I would not mess with the ignition system unless there's a misfire. HKS crank trigger is popular out here for the relatively easily sourced Denso crank sensor, not a bad idea to install as well regardless of power level on a standalone. Boost leak test is worth thinking about. Oil pressure sensor tied to a fuel cut isn't a bad idea either. Getting the tune figured out is a good idea. Without putting eyes on it and getting under it there's no way for us to tell you exactly what it needs but most likely you're down to the last 10% that will make a big, big difference in how happy you are with the car.
