no havent been to steves i have heaps of mates that go there and usually on a thurs morning ive got a couple of messages on my phone - u at steves? u at steves? been meaning to go there!!

Micko - what training at Mc's are we going to do because there was talk of having some license blahblahblah etc etc etc - what training are they doing and do we get to use our own vehicles - because im more interested in learning how to thrash my own car - ive thrashed too many toyotas celicas and bathtubs (mr2's) already when i worked at toyota and neither impressed - more would like advance driver training for the car i already drive. also price?

Yeah well i may go one day 33Spec2!

weekdays i dont normally go out on weekdays - to tell ya the truth i find northbridge bad enough on weekends - the guys are like pirhanas - and i dont mean to sound up myself but i get sick of lame guys approaching me all the time in the hope to get laid. Plus theres a guy that usually goes to Steve on wednesdays and id rather not bump into him.

$185 dollars is an awful lot of money to get someone to teach me how to drive my own car - i can do that thru my own mistakes. When is it - if its like a month or so away count me in - i can afford it by that time. Who else is going? the fact i get taught in my own car is a major plus - just need a date to make my discision and any requirements like helmets etc. Also the promise that my baby wont get marked by any of those nasty witches hats.

bathtub is as slow as Joe - in fact why people want to buy new MR2's is way over my head - slow as mate - nothing special at all - hot as all hell in summer - in fact i used to prefer taking a plain jane corolla anywhere than an MR2 - all of us did it used to be a fight of who we could offload the MR2 too!!

Trust me i bump into so many ppl id rather not there but really who cares im always wit my friends so i make an excuse not 2 talk 2 em like when i went this week some ppl were shouting out my name and i was like who the hell are they are they talking to me? so i went up 2 em and they were like do u remember us? Oh sh*t i was thinking i hav no clue so i just said Fark no and theywere ppl i went 2 primary school wit! how embarrassing i hate running into ppl!

33Spec2 - yeah bumping into people i would rahter not see is one thing - i can handle that. But this guy - its a long drawn out story that started when i was 14 and to ths day he's still messing with my heart - i just would rather not. Trust me im not sentimental over anyone - except this guy - it just farks with my head too much.

Ok 29th should be able to afford it by then suspension will be done, car tuned its just a matter of money left over after all that - but at the moment its pretty positive - so book it - if at the last minute i cant come im sure i'll get someone to fill my place.

    • Let's hope that's not a copy pump either. There were so many copies of them back in the day.
    • Damn it, I was at work last night, and stayed in a room there during the storm with the car outside, but undercover, I just went downstairs and well....there was a large steel locker that has come from some place last night, it wasn't anywhere I could see yesterday, and yeap, it landed on the fraking car....of course it did..... LOL So, I'll need to take it back for paint and panel, luckily it was only the boot that took the hit, so it could have been worse Serves me right for staying at work and getting on the cans with some of the boys
    • Yeah, really happy with how it all turned out As for aftermarket lip, nah, I'm not really a fan for practically reasons on a street car that gets driven everywhere  I did have the full lower kit on my 2015 STI, but found the front lip scrapped alot, even at stock 4x4ish ride height As the NC sits now, with the lowest point of the car at 110mm, so just legal, some steep driveways and steep speed humps will still "just" scrap those little plastic OEM air dam thingies on the undertray just before the front wheels
    • 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.
