  1. Burgerfuel Palmy

    Meet at; The lower undercover park at the plaza at 7:00pm

    We'll check out some cars, and walk straight over the road for some takeaways about 7:30-8

    - Just a note, feel free to invite other cars/people along, but you will be responsible for them! Please leave no rubbish and no skids/rowdy driving in the carpark - We've been given permission from the Plaza to use this, and we don't want to loose it.

    We have a rain free car park, and the barrier arms go up shortly after we arrive, meaning no parking fees.

    Grab a camera and we'll seeya there

  2. So because it was a pretty accurate title I shouldn't need to explain anymore, but i will anyway.

    Have a 2000 Toyota Corolla Fielder Z that mainly does Jo duties/daily drives to work etc.

     

    Noticed that when the vvti is supposed to be "kicking in" at approx 6500, it now hesitates, misses slightly and accelerates with hesitation.

    Started doing it in just 1st gear doorts, which I thought was just low speed/tyre chirp. Have noticed it slowly progressed to both 2nd, and now 3rd gear. This doesn't make a lot of sense, but Cam/Gman suggested new plugs (them be bad at high revs, and less load in the higher gears). Changed and didn't make a difference.

    Took air filter out in case it was blocked, and funnily enough it fixed it for one acceleration. Now it's bad again.

    Sorry I can't explain better, it baffles me a tad.

  3. I wouldn't say awesomely. But yeah, much better than standard at least! Could do with less bump steer and jitters. That would mean raising the front though and nahhhh

    It'll be a bit of a handful I'm thinking, but defo looking forward to big dorts, and a label label idle.

     

    Keen for track day if its running good, I've ran it in, and I've got a baffled sump.

  4. nah m8 4cyl.

     

    F20c - theres kits for 2002s so it must be great.

     

    or K24.

     

    Also, the m20s out of the e30s run the speedo drive off the diff, but E21s and 2002s run speedo off the gearbox, so you'd want an e21 gearbag unless you'd be running a link or megasquirt or whatever.

     

    If you're gonna smash it up to put a bmw 6 you might as well put a 3.5 M30 in there/way heavier? Prolly.

  5. Yo,

    Have got some of that Kyrylon metalflake to paint the centre of my 13s, but apparently can be quite finicky with what primer you use (apparently it's an oil based paint which is rare), and can react with the wrong ones - don't particularly want to strip them again.

    Any suggestions for semi good, off the shelf can primer from repco/supercheap/mitre10? Or should I get them primered by a panel shop with the good shit?

    If there is good stuff, would it be worth letting the primer dry for a couple days before spraying the krylon?
