Minor update, horied up the end of the exhaust to get rid of the muffler. Being a Sunday, nowhere was open to get exhaust tubing so had to piece together offcuts that I could find around the workshop Hahaha, works though.

Fuck man I'll have probably 2 spare legal cars maybe even 3, just take one of them haha

Whoops, it just went straight in the bin haha.

Gutted the cat tonight after work, meow.

This is what sort of puts me off about the 2kcup. I think it was invented for people to have fun on the cheap, but it seems people are investing so much money into it now that it's defeating the initial purpose of it. May as well call it the levin/trueno cup as well.

Yeah I'd do reversible mods like that so I could take it back to stock if I did end up doing 2kcup. Probably not worth doing anyway be minimal gains. Yeah haha I like to be different and the fact it was basically free had a part to play! But yeah It does go quite well, definitely a fun little car.

Got my dobis on friday and fitted them up on sat, quite happy with the amount of slam I got for just "low" springs, back could come down a little more but the front came down nicely! Picked up my direzzas today too! I also have an e33a galant with the dohc 4g63 so thought I'd out them side by side and see what galant goodies would go on the mirage. Quite surprised that the mirage runs the exact same brakes all round as the galant. Thought they were quite big for a little car. Good nonetheless, mirage has a 54mm throttle body whereas galant has a 60mm so may look at small performance mods like that down the line

So i picked this up a while back, fella was getting rid of it because it was it was his daughters car but one day the rear sway bar mount snapped clean off on the left side, so was practically giving it away at 50 bucks! Shot down to oamaru and grabbed it, rego on hold. Becoming quite rare now with the 123hp 4g61, Mitsubishi's competitor to the 16 valve 4age, and 5 speed Manwell. Basically I'm going to try and make a fun track car with minimal money, even in stock form it shoots round corners pretty well and the motor is nice and revvy. No speed demon by any means but still pulls along nicely. Picked up a cheap seat, unfortunately it's not fixed back but if a cheap fixed back one pops up I'll swap em over. Mounted up to the factory rails with a few mods but not happy with how high it sits though so will have to come up with something there. Ordered a set of "low" springs today as superlows aren't a thing for these. Also have been talking with one of the guys here who does the 2kcup and he's hooking me up with a near new dunlop direzza z11 as that's the control tyre for that class, so ordered another one today so I'll run them up the front as I can't afford a full set at the moment, got a pair of yokohama S drives for the rear, they seem to have pretty good reviews online so that should do for the rear. Thankfully it actually runs mint and drives well, clutch will probably need doing in the future but still bites well for now. 4 wheel disc brakes as well so brakes pretty well, dunno how I'll go getting high performance pads for it though being a bit of an obscure model. My boss also had heaps of old stickers so we stickered it up for a laugh haha. Also has a pretty sweet set of 14s that I'll try tidy up and get rid of the shitty black spray paint job too.

Oh shit, this is tonight, almost forgot! See you chaps and chapettes at 7.

Ooooh spitfire square, mean I might pump up the tyres on the battle bus and bring that along. Probably will bitch out and just bring sigma though.

Hey man Nah I haven't yet, been too busy with work to even make a phone call yet haha will get round to it though.

Who's reasonably priced? Or even better is there someone on here in the industry? Chur chur.

Yeah probably could have kicked up more of a shit but being in my work truck and uniform I don't want anything coming back on the company. I just paid it and questioned them as to why they didn't ring me first and the lady at the counter said oh sorry I must not have caught that. Fucking weak excuse if you ask me but anyway it's done now. Just more of a heads up I guess as my experience with them has been shit. Certainly won't be dealing with them or recommending them to anyone that's for sure.

First and last time I'll be using them, asked them to give me a call with prices before they went ahead with repairing. Get a call this morning saying they're done. $188 later just to replace the Two coils of wire. Bloody unimpressed to be honest. Didn't help that they were all a miserable bunch who could barely put a smile on.

Yeah was what I was thinking, just thought I'd double check. Bloody hard to get a photo of!

And for the non believers, dual senders.

Dunno if anyone knows much about them but whipped a sender out and took it apart tonight and looks to have a break in the fins or ribs whatever they’re called and look worn off towards one end. Looks fucked? I know nothing about this shit haha.

Sorry, 87 Telstar haha and yeah there’s two pumps with sender units attached on left and right side under the rear seat. Ok will give that a try if I get time.

Hey guys, so I've sold the Deathstar but have had a quick geez and can't suss out why the fuel gauge won't go, I simply have no fucking time to try sort it. Fairly sure it's the sender unit but it's so intermittent. Was working sweet as a nut a few days ago now won't do anything. Dumb thing is it has duel fuel pumps and senders so leaves me doubley fucked. Plus electronics are my nemesis. Happy to throw cash, beers, reach arounds your way etc. Chur.

Good meat, decent turnout! Spot the baz.

See you cool cats @ peg @ 12.00, gonna have to be a quick suck back some lunch and shoot, have many tasks to be completed today haha.

You aint You ain't, just come along, pub grub is great there too!

I also have a sufficient supply of broken down shitheaps, gotta have all bases covered.

Weird, I have the choice of 3 legal and running cars to bring to this, what the hell is happening!

Anyone keen to park up at that printable weekend of motorsport next weekend?
