Me: "I just dropped my car at the shop"

Wife calls work secretary: "That asshole is modifying his car again, got any work  happening in Siberia?

Work: "Cool, pack your bags, you leave tomorrow"

This is my guess... enjoy your trip this week haha ?

LOL your work sounds fun!

8psi will make annoying noises if you don't run a BOV and metres of FMIC pipe work

Just dropped off the 86 at Pulse for turbs.

Now all I need to do is be patient, aaarrrrrggggggg.

did you tell them it is pretty important to get it done quick cos plenty of people on the internet are waiting for turbo noises and skids?  that should speed them up

[GTofuS-T]

When were you going to tell us about the aesthetic update Pulse are doing?

I'm more looking forward to the first time the Mrs hears it, she is going to be well pissed off......her reaction should be pretty funny.

I will just explain that it needed the turbo to quiten down cold start.

That reaction should be pretty sweet as well.

God bless her, and may god have mercy on my soul.

When is it ready? I'll take you on with the Tiguan.

It just had both front wheel bearings removed, serviced and re-installed on a 1 year old car with 15k kms lol.

Surprised it didn't throw a CEL and disabled the car

Are you still going to tow that trailer up Macquarie Pass, wasn't that one of the rules?

When is it ready?, I'm hoping tomorrow, my boat (real boat/ship, not a R33) leaves on the 13th of this month, this means I will most likely be on a plane on Monday, that gives me the weekend to race a Tiguan towing a trailer up the pass, break the gearbox, and throw a rod, oh, and pack.

It looks like I'm going to have a busy weekend

We should all catch up for a cruise in our non-Skylines LOL

I'm spewing I'm going to miss the SAUNSW cruise up Macquarie Pass to Roberstson pie shop.

Although, I do head up there at least once a month for a drive topped with pies, apple turnovers with cream to be then washed down with icecream at Wollongong lighthouse after doing the Jamberoo run.

 

Mmmmmmm, pies cakes and icecream....

Sitting at bus stop 

On the way to Menai

I have all of the excitements

Car is ready at 1600

WOW, what a difference

Dyno is saved file from pre-tune in March to 8 psi boost now, WOW

Car is as responsive as farrrrk, pulls hard, WOW

Most importantly is that cold start is not as loud, the turbo has done its main job at muffling the exhaust..........?

Shiny clamps is the only giveaway

Down there somewhere

Pretty black

So far the rods are still in one piece

[Ben C34]

Very nice. Almost doubling power is always a good starting point!

[Dose Pipe Sutututu]

Okay, when's racewarz. I'll prep the Tiguan and remove the space saver 

[The Bogan]

I feel that alot, and I mean all, WRX and STI's cruise around chopping every 86 they see, for fun.

LOL, that has bit them on the arse today, the little 86 is pumping

Not that I went out hunting this morning or anything

I did get punished by a branch falling off a tree infront of me, no time to really do anything but cringe, a few more battle scars but nothing major.

My little 86 is perfect

No more mods needed

Well..........it could do with more .....tutututu

LOLOLOLOLOLOL

Small turbo kit on a 86 is one of those "enjoy it/great little car" combos. Right up there with a little turbo MX5 at similar power. Sit back, relax, enjoy, and act smug when people who look cool on forums blow up all their money in broken engines.

[Dose Pipe Sutututu]

Hey relaks brah, my engine hasn't gone bang yet, however the motivation has.
