Floody - Yeah thought was was the case. This Coupe (french guard version) had Hyundai's own Alpha series engine... Don't for a moment think that I know this because I'm interested tho!!

Actually Stu, I'm not certain on the current generations of cars, but the first two generations of Excels used Hyundai manufactured, licensed variants of Mitsubishi motors. The S-coupe's have turbo mitsubishi motors, quite similar to the Lancer GSR's I'm lead to believe.

Here's another nomination. Was at that Scottish restaurant in Rosny Park (Hobart) today - you know McDonalds! Saw an electric blue pulsar parked outside, big chromies, GTIR bonnet intake, body kit ( at least I think that's what it's meant to be) stickers etc etc. This car is someone's pride and joy but looked to me like a heap of gold chains on a hairy chest - bling bling! and fairly tasteless. Was this car at one stage an ET turbo or is it just a standard pulsar that someone has wasted thousands on?

Anyone in Launceston seen the loser who has just appeared in the white Camira? Every time I've seen him he's been blasting around and driving like a f*&^wit. Checkerplate where the back number plate goes, and it looks like he's either put a big radiator with flashy pipes or a FMIC on the front. Include the set of alloys and you've got a full on performance car!

What about just starting with a decent car?

How about the Barbie Pink 200sx here in Launceston

It also now has a twin with green to purple pearl

I'd own both ;) Love the 200SX's

Its just cars like: e.g i have seen a pulsar with all performance brand stickers on it and one of them was a RALLI////ART sticker (on a pulsar??? :) ) also seen a hyundai coupe with nismo stickers on it :P

Only one is hooked to keep the noise down it has a flange that can be removed so only one runs. and he bought i like that pretty much

I seen a nice 200SX Silver one in a car yard in Launceston (not sure which one it was Jacksons or something else) werent too bad :) for a standard car any way :angry:..

Also i own a skyline R33, but yea i lost my licence for 8 months (oh well) :blink: when shes back on the road ill be looking foward to it :P.

As im saving lotsa money ATM :P.

Do any of you Guys/Girls know of any places that install turbos and all different modds?? ive been told theres a few in Hobart but coming from the west to goto Hobart is a bit far.....

Cheers.

    • There's a huge reason manufacturers are tuning in dead flat torque curves... Make them reliable (and more drive able)
    • What HVAC actuator is under the steering wheel? Do you mean on the RHS of the centre console, immediately to the left of your shin? If so, then yes, it is probably that one, because that is the mode door actuator, and from what I know, it's still a pain in the arse to replace. I don't know about whole dash out, but you certainly have to rip into the centre console section. I don't know if it's covered in the workshop manual, as I haven't spent much time looking at those parts of it. (and by "the workshop manual, I mean the R32 GTR one, which is the most comprehensive one we have, and it should be similar enough between that and later cars to serve as a guide).
    • ...oops. forgot the TCU end...
    • No I got mine from a friend that had fabricated one … but I had to fit it to my setup which was a hks turbo setup. His was a Garrett -7. So one of my turbos was not a flange for one side … then I had a leak in the welds I had to find a weld shut … in the end the setup was decent priced but I spent a lot to get it fitted. A couple companies I checked would make it but you’re talking 7-9k aud with titanium. No joke mine was 6-7k even second hand after I had to fit it in Hong Kong … labour is expensive here. 
    • I'd just like to restate that I don't think anyone here is actually hating I recently sold a car part to a guy who was building a forged auto R34, with MV stall and aiming at ~450kw. I told him that I'm him, from the future and to stop after it explodes once. I told him I knew he won't listen the first time, and that's fine. But if my predictions do come true - Change direction faster than I did. I also said it's probably no coincidence that the dyno plot of a reliable turbo engine starts to look a lot like a N/A motor. :p
