Mrs wouldnt lile that, shes a picky bitch. I never did understand why she chose me ?

Sisters boyfriend is a mechanic. Triple car port entry down stairs. Whole bottom floor was garage under the house. 4x2 on top. Garage became, partitioned spray tanning booth (qualified never used), massage and raiki room (qualified never used) full clothes and shoes booth on rotating racks (sheer indulgence) she has a doctorate in education (never used) motor bikes and cars sold and crammed into the last remaining door. I loved the layout of that place. After he had to sell his business to support the first wife while teaching at tafe he done cashies every weekend to hide the money and survive. Sister took care of that. Wish I'd bought it when they sold up. Garage was same size as the 4x2 underneath?

Have helped the Russians and Asians both sides and across the street and behind with lifts, ute, gardening, lawn mowing, pest control, reticulation systems and rebuilt fences after storms. They like me and are old, let them know when party and 700watts of metal is on. No probs!

We've been looking at big shed spa and pool upgrade maybe a top story but it is what it is. The older the kids get its becoming more difficult. 4 cars in the driveway already but will hold 6. Skyline and xr8 take top spots!

The wife and I just love our little 4x2. (starter) We have done everything ourselves when we saved up to afford it over the years, bore, reticulation,patio,shed,concreting,paving,fish pond,gazebo,gardens,lawn,driveway, kids were born here, p.l. + l.w. engraved in driveway concrete. Now p.l. and L.l. It's our home not a house.

Painting all the patio pine in the car port then building it. Saving up to buy the metal sheeting, golden memories [emoji4]

DSC_0298.JPGDSC_0299.JPGthe wife me and my dad built that s.o.b. 20 years ago. Hip jointing and angles with circular saw and mitre box with Tennant saw. Skewed nails with no nail gun. Hammer and nail punches. Ladders in sand and rapid set all the posts in. Painted all the pine with rollers in the car port before dad engineered it. Leanne and I were his lackeys, that's what makes it a home and why I'm reluctant to ever sell;-) we were fully broke at the time and dad bought all the sheeting for us as a Christmas gift:-) boxing day dad and I on ladders fitting the sheets. Our family home:-)

Takes 70-75minutes but relaxing as never any traffic

    • Here's one I help build and tuned a decade ago, Garrett  GTX3071R Gen 1, T3 twin scroll 0.83 rear housing. Went from larger 272 cams down to smaller Tomei Poncams to help with the low end. S13 non VCT motor. Car was purpose built for the track, hence low down was the focus. Note the actual dyno chart shows lower boost, however the EBC and boost gauge showed 1.9Bar (Ignore the torque, I was young and didn't know how to set derived torque)  
    • 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!
