All up it cost 13 and no i dont regret it, sadly no eye fillets will be shared just yet you can just wait buddy... but definately enjoying it.

Ouch on the bill... But credit to you following through/ I still wouldn't suggest it to anybody.

What makes you suspect coil packs? I mean they sound dodgy but nothing wrong with the curve.. The power also sounds right for a de+t. What boost is that? Running E85?

Thats alright m8, eye fillets are over rated. Aged wagyu is where it's @. I feel more like some lobster anyways.  

Credit to you for going through with it and not just talking shit, although you do a fair bit of that too. You're alright Skippy.

 

13k, thats a lot of eye fillet, lobster, abalone, wagyu. You may have to eat baked beans out of a can for the next 6 months to try and let the wallet recover aye...

 

So, how much boost is that for 181kw?

Jesus. Why not put in a stock NEO motor and the same turbo as you've bought?

Then just throw in a set of 1000cc run the stock reg etc.

Would make a healthy 240/250kW on 98RON. 

Its on 10psi boost i beleive but i will have to double check that and not running e85 just yet but that will
Be one of the next upgrades, roughly 300kms to a tank atm [emoji28]
Mi goreng is gonna be my bestfriend for a while by the looks of it haha, once i get lil things done then drop a new motor in hopefully forged and put all parts into that then happy days from there.

You blokes dribble and just about as roudy as kim jong un but i apreciate all the advice given and i definately took it all into count. Cheers guys will keep you updated when i blow the f*kka [emoji14]

It isnt even that bad, all of that is trasnferrable to a DET motor being swapped in place later on if the DE+T does give up.

This just highlights how expensive modding a car turns out to be over time, most people don't do 'everything' all in one hit like that, doing it piece by piece is going to result in much the same cost, minus the Labor charge depending on how much you can DIY.

....why.....why do all this if you're getting a new motor?

I'm sure you're a good bloke mate but you've got rocks in your head. If you want to waste money like that can I please have some? I've got a long list for my car!

Because why buy a new motor now? Got all the aftermarket parts to chuck in the new motor when i get it, dont see the big rush on getting a motor lmao now or in a years time it would not make a difference to what i have spent on the car already

Oh wells at least he is happy [emoji4]
I'm sure I've done many wrong things too, like mod my shit box.
Should have just bought a 335i E90 BMW for the same money.

Dunno if the BMW is all that great anyway, other than comfort. I had no problem staying with an M4 with tune, tyres, brakes and a very experienced driver. At Phillip island we where separated by a tenth. Long live the shitboxes. My whole car with mods doesn't owe me much more than what Skippy spent in the last few weeks.

Enjoy the mi goreng Skippy[emoji12]

    • Rear doors central locking wiring removed and cleaned. See the first 8sec video of when it’s filled with river silt. its a snip of what I’m up against. front and rear doors complete now. Maybe another day removing carpet and bits and pieces. Then the re assembly begins. 🤙 att.DqweJqhY5MZiZYQDVMhn3LtvdD1RBZ7TBG4f2s7W1zM.mp4 att.lFuN22MZEowqCbFAXoDw009r2gHL76ChMVfxMfBX-uk.mp4
    • There aren't boost creep issues, it's not engineered around the restriction of the cats but if you haven't tuned the engine a full decat + exhaust can flow enough air to run off the end of the OEM load scales and you will get a pretty substantial reduction in ignition timing as a result. I recommend using DFCO, avoiding ignition cut limiters, and avoiding popcorn tunes along with running a cat unless you enjoy a perpetually soot-covered and potentially burnt bumper.
    • Small update, it's been slow moving over the Christmas period with money having to go everywhere thats not my car 😅. I got myself a little present to myself from "santa" in the form of some tidy radiator mounts from fitmint automotive to get rid of the stock ones that look like they have been in an accident before and then straightened by a caveman. I know I should've replaced the rubber bush at the same time but I had no idea how bad they were until I was replacing the mounts. Decided to order their dash mat while I was at it as I feel like I am lucky enough to have a pretty decent condition dash and I don't want to risk it being ruined while it's parked in the aussie sun while I'm at work. I have found another electrical fault to add to the evergrowing list to eventually chase down. Every time I replace my taillight globe it blows within a day of use, I'm starting to think my life would be easier if I took a few minutes to learn how to use  a multimeter 😂.   Had some luck with finding a series 2 drivers headlight on marketplace to replace my mismatched series 1 headlight, a subtle difference but it's nice to have a matching set of lights now.   I returned to the air con problem due to being sick of this summer heat, found a good condition condenser to replace my leaking one! I got it in the car and was happy when I got the thumbs up that the system was now holding gas. Sadly the compressor is not kicking in for some reason, we even tried branching the relay in the fuse box. I have tried to do some research on the issue with no clear understanding of what the fix is, so for now it will be placed on the backburner until I can be bothered to look into the wiring to the compressor. The last small mods I have done was cutting the horizontal vents out of the front bar, not really in a functional airflow sense but I just think it looks better as I am not a fan of the series 2 bar. I also switched the shift knob out for a hosoboyo aluminium grex style one, it has a really nice more direct driving feel than the outdated rubbery oem one. Thirdly, I chucked on one of the ebay bonnet strut kits. The fitment is decent and they seem to work fairly well. They have only given out once while the car was parked facing downhill, I think if I was working under the bonnet I would still put the oem hood stay up to be precautionary as to avoid getting a speedy concussion.
    • Got pneumonia, haven’t played with her in a while, but I’m back now. Previous owners cut bonnet pins into the bonnet. My choice try find a replacement or spend $15 get some pins myself to cover up. Now only one small hole to cover. looks shit now, but when the bonnet is red again. Be good 🤞
    • No R32 GTSt had 15" wheels. 205/55-16 was standard GTSt fare. 4.36:1 is standard R32 turbo auto diff. I think the manual was too, not 4.11. 4.11 and 4.08 were R33 namual and auto respectively.
