Paid. I own nothing oldschool but i like burgers and havnt driven hamptons before. Time to find out if im any good at v8 d1s on track. Got lazy tahi-spinning down to an art form so its time to progress the skills.

Excellent meet, great turn out. Much fun had by all!

Its got a v8 connected to the back circles. Its already fun

Lol nah its long gone. Only just got round to doing something about it. Tbh, nobody wants their car back after its been nicked/it was time to move on. Has been a couple months daily driving my Terrano, cant take it any more. Gotta buy something with some cornering ability.

Stolen, The end. I hope you enjoyed it, i know i did.

I meant with regards to that bypassing the rusty floor rule. It must do. Would be stupid to have no rear seats and still fail a wof for shitty seatbelt anchorages.

Wait.....thats a thing!? Will be very happy if yes.

Is seam sealer and pop rivets ok? Some dickhead has repaired mine in this fashion. Might have to look at one of them LVVTA load bar things.

You're pretty old. And I think you went to school.

Yeah I'd be keen. VG30 or 4AGE?

Send to geartech, get a warranty. Then have multiple cups of tea with all the stress and time you will have saved.

More importantly, it will go SPOOOOOOOOOL and whoosh p.s Clint showed me this today, i forgot how quickly it fucks off. H6 power yo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LnsK9Pji_SY

Yeah but this time, we dont have big plans and I'll be doing it at the same time so we can split shipping on shit and hopefully get a mad deal from Dave! 160kwots. Which unfortunately is less than Brad seems to be making with his LS1....that would be the main reason for needing more oomph.

Have been chatting to my good buddy Clint and i think we're going to do a budget turbo setup just to see what happens. We've both come to the realisation that our cars are awesome but dont have mass appeal because we sacrificed power for reliability. The plan is to bolt on a turbo and run a conservative high-ish compression low boost setup. Drop in some STI injectors, a chinese intercooler kit and so far we've settled on a Holset from the states. Cheap as chips since every bogans dodge ram has a HX35/HX40 in it. The goal for me is to make at the very most 220kw at the wheels. Thats all the 5 speed box is good for so thats it. Any number north of 200 will be acceptable. Other peoples experiences tell us it should be possible on about 8psi of boost. The stock rods are capable of surviving 320kw with some lower compression pistons (despite being laughably small) so i think 220 should be safe with the current compression ratio. Raptor superchargers stand by their product making 200kw safely on an unopened motor. Hardest part for me is going to be deciding where to put the turbo and finding room for all of the plumbing. We're both running Link ECU's and both have spare shortblocks ready to drop in so its a relatively low risk game. I know i've threatened to do a lot of things before but if all the cards fall into place in the next few months - this will happen. Shopping list; Intercooler and some pipes (front mounted) Injectors (denso top feed around 400cc) Holset HX35 turbo with modified wastegate actuator for lower boost pressures Some exhaust plumbing A morning on the dyno

I did learn tho that for best results, dont bother with the clutch. On the slower to medium speed bits - it was best to just wap the handbrake which would lock the rear wheels and spin the fronts up. Then when you stamp on the loud pedal again, the rears would smoke up and the bum swings round nicely. Just need to learn to get a good mix of showy-offness and actual speed on the course. Today i was too far on the goon end of the spectrum to be completely pleased with myself.

Did some autocross today. Took me a couple runs to get used to the new DCCD setup. Took quite a few more runs before i learned that massive amounts of throttle are no longer needed. Actually....i never did learn that and spent the whole day smoking the tyres and being a goon.

Got a wof today. Wof inspector pointed out the clutch master cylinder reservoir had fallen off some time ago. Had been running on the few mls of fluid sitting in the inlet. Bought some new tyres and some rego. Going to give 205/45 Altenzo Sport Comforters a go. Joined the Hansen fan club 'mbop' and will be competing in their motorkhana/autocross series. Cant wait to see how the wagon stacks up against VG and Dantech Ltd. Skids ahoy!

Dont we do this on thursdays? Fuck

Whatadick

Yup pretty much where im at. Looked at my stz the other day and thought wtf am I doing? Time to try something else.

Gave the previous owner first dibs, up on the tard now for $1. Go slam some bids on it!

Moving to a place with no garage and im also quitting being a car person. Contemplating letting this thing go, any oldschoolers happen to be keen?

Oil usage has come right again after a damned hard thrashing. I believe the rings were getting gummed up with shit from just idling around town with no load on it. Have re-listed the car for sale as a result.

Saw roadkill using a scavenge pump on their turbo setup and thought "YES! Now I can mount a snail at the back of the motor with ease!" then saw price of said scavenge pumps. Fuckthatshit.
