Yeah it's good, handles crazy good and brakes are awesome. 

It's cool having a new car with heaps of modern features with an old school feeling turbocharged engine & manual gearbox.
The turbo lag and when it hits makes it feel faster than what it is, which in a way is good for the street. Once I'm nearing the end of warranty will do some mods surely, but for now happy with how it is, maybe just get a catback exhaust soon. 

160awkw? not sure

Just mod it already, no need for warranty in one of these subies.

They're pretty reliable.

All good. I bought what I needed for $11.Still got a gremlin where with one of the rear parkers plugged in, it prevents the brake light on the other tail light from working... :confused: I've got a homemade CAD wiring diagram from online, but doesn't really help narrow things down.

My $400USD venture into various crypto is now worth $570USD in under a month. Take that bank interest rates!

It's a bit confusing where values can be estimated/defined to USD, or altcoins against Bitcoin or Ethereum. So with bitcoin rising so fast, it looks like the altcoins are dropping, but against the USD they're increasing too.

What else are you on?

I’ve doubled in probably 7-8 weeks

I've heard mixed reviews of the engine reliability, not as bad as the Focus RS headgaskets though  

It'll be catback first as no tune required then down pipe intake tune once I've saved enough side cash to help fund a engine rebuild if that happens  

[Count Grantleyish]

If it's tuned correctly, they're fine.

You've been there with 33R with questionable service history or lack of.

Are you just naming people from the Matrix?

Ergo

Concordantly

[Leroy Peterson]

not a bad idea actually...

Apoc, Switch, Oracle, Trinity, Cypher, Dozer.

Very cyberpunk. Much anarchy. Such rebellious.

 

So some amateur car photographer posted a photo of the gloria and put it on instagram 6 months ago, mate tagged me in it, nek minnit she inviting me to a "secret cruise" in 2 weeks in Craigieburn. I cant see the facebook event to suss out who is going, but is this how kids do car meets these days? invite only. I mean, I am VIP, but driving through northern suburbs with P platers is not my idea of a Sunday arvo well spent.

 

Edit: think ill buy this and put it on my fridge

Yes, everyone is a bunch of invite only elitist flogs who are scared to have their idea of "this is a nice car" challenged.

I now have cancer from reading about "secret cruises" in Craigieburn for VIP cars.

[Birds]

Invite only in Craigieburn sounds more like "we stole the cars we're cruising around in"

[UNR33L]

[Birds]

You can attend those smashed gearbox or beaten by Birds meets

The "I stripped first when I launched it" cruises? followed closely by the "I got a built gearbox and a tough clutch after stripping first so I blew up the diff when I launched it" cruise.

It was pretty funny. I went once and it turned into dandenong bypass runs with a lot of VL turbos uleh

[Leroy Peterson]

Dandenong bypass and greens Rd is cop central. Lots of houses round were calling in I think so it became routine patrol.

[emts]

Whats the big deal about 370 KW, I've got more than that.
