R-SPEC

Yeah yeah I know. I was just having fun that day I wasn't really going hard as you can tell by my braking distances! I'm gonna go out there next time and give it a massive crack. What do you mean the turbo will lunch itself?

Nah godda go out tomorrow night. Maybe on the cruise on the 22nd if I can get the day off It's nothing special guys seriously? Just a dyno number

Mmm... Big black rubber..... *cough*

I'm not a big fan of dyno numbers but people kept asking me what it had at the wheels. After trying to explain to them that a dyno is just numbers, I thought, screw it lets find out. We've actually never dyno'ed it since it was first tuned about 6 months ago. After then it was all tuned on the street. I picked that dyno because heaps of people on here have run on that one due to the dyno days the Darren puts on so I could compare to other cars. I never wanted heaps of top end in the tune, I just wanted it to hault arse from the get go because it was always going to be a track car, but Danny just kept throwing numbers at it and obviously it responded well. But as you can see from the sheet, there's plenty more punch to be thrown in to make that tabletop headsex torque curve, but it wasn't run in Shootout mode and we didn't plug in for boost or anything that like so I'll do another one with all those things in it when we do a 100 Octane race tune. I think the cold air intake is doing quite well. What exactly will an airbox will do when I eventually put one in? Is it just better response from quicker spool or?

First of all, have a look at his dyno sheet here and tell me that's not the fattest curve you've ever seen lol Then check out post #16 in this thread.

Maybe one day Ryan but it's not really something I'm into. I'd love to know what it's got in it but I just dont want to break something and be left in a hole trying to get to work while it's under repairs lol

House prices aren't going to drop in Frankston in the next 3 months. It's places that are already overpriced like suburbs around the city that actually fall, and it's usually because of lack of buyers/interest. If you rang around the local agents they'd tell you they're not off their feet but it's not like there's no one around (in Frankston). BUY BUY BUY

That's the plan. I was running mid 1:30's at Sandown last time with around 290rwkw, I wonder what 360rwkw will do? lol

Thanks Mikey. I never was building a drag car, but it's good to give it to the manual Expensive Daewoo boys! I think comparing a headsexTune with another tune with the same car with the same mods is what Troughy is talkin about, it's just different techniques I spose It's a bit different to an auto hey Ivy?

Thanks kids. Yeah it's fun to drive. The Toyo's do a great job of holding the arse on the ground, but anything else will just skate up the road sideways. Mind you even with these Toyo's on a crappy road surface when it's cold, 3rd gear spins up when boost hits. I don't have to touch the clutch lol I'll hit the track when my new gold 5000 disks and pads go in, that'll wear em in nicely

Yeah it was nice and cold the other night. This was in 23°ish temps so it runs a little better at night as you saw lol

Yep it's the one and only SIKXE8. Being a manual I can't keep up with the ZF boys, but it's gonna be pretty lethal at Sandown

Spotted SIKXE8 on the hoist at Better Carby Auto this morning

After 12 months of mods and several tunes I'm finally at a point where I'm happy with the car. A big thanks to Danny for the awesome headsexTune, Mick from Pitlane for his hard work earlier in the year, Chris from Rapid Systems and Darren from Better Carby Auto for the dyno runs. I should mention that the car has only been tuned on 98 octane pump fuel.

Hi mate. People comment on the height of my car all the time. I have the standard front springs and FFRL-68SSL/310 King Springs in the rear and now the front sits even with the rear so it looks great and handles a lot better (than stock). Also as a really cheap but amazing upgrade is the front sway bar to an adjustable 27mm Whiteline one on the medium setting. Get those two mods and you'll thank me later

Screw accomodation, just sleep out the front of the first Denny's you see and stay in there all day and eat the chicken strips. f*ck I can't wait to go back there...

Yeah you're a but you're a cunny funt

Don't you know it

Oooooooh I get it. Sorry 72 I didn't see your post. My bad. Why don't you mods use your brains and delete/edit the post? Sorry? What's that? You want to leave it there for some comedy? Ooooooh thaaaaanks!

OMG are you guys for real? It's written in the article...? :freak:s!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My naughty corner has a bar fridge full of booze and a couple of hot strippers so nuuuh

You can only do it if the bank thinks you can pay it off yourself. For example, we left my missus off the application but put her on the title, which I didn't want to do but her family stepped in once they got wind. The legal document can be hand written and signed by both of you and witnessed by your accountant or solicitor, its just a peice of paper, but can be legally binding.

In your current position as I've read above, you would be stupid not to buy as soon as possible. By the time you find a house and sign your mortgage documents, the rates would have dropped, thus giving you a nice fixed rate for at least 5 years. A good mortgage broker will give you a report outlining your current monthly income vs spendature (which is always over estimated) and then plug in a mortgage repayment of at least double the current interest rate. If at the end of that report there's no money left down the bottom, then you're probably not in a position to repay a mortgage. But it looks like you are. At the moment if you buy an established home you'll receive a massive first home owners grant, which is the best reason to buy right now. With your $14,000 plus the grant you'll have enough to qualify for a 90 to 95% loan, however you'll still need to pay Lenders Mortgage Insurance, but they'll whack this cost on top for you. The only thing I can suggest is to possibly buy your home in either your name only or your missus name only. This way, when you go to buy your second home, one of you is still eligable for the grant the next time. You pay enough tax, why not screw them for some extra money? Being that you're a defacto, you can just sign a legal document saying that if you split up you'll halve any capital gain. If you need any help buying something, Dillz and I are in the selling game so we'll know what to look out for. Feel free to PM us if you need any help. Oh, and if you fall in love with a house, make sure you shell out and get a building inspection and pest inspection before you buy it too, it can be the best investment of all. Get out there and start looking!

Didn't we all know it was Ben Collins like, years ago?

Good stuff! That's a big step up from stock (if it was stock beforehand). That colour looks pretty damn sexy in the sun too

Freakin mad plates
