  1. that was fast! serves me for not travelling further than 5min down the road from the last one. lol @ also having the bonnet up haha. the people that live there must be so confused
  2. hey i got a question for ya. my only alignment on my car has been for cert purposes so i asked for the standard 'do it within spec please'. my next alignment is due soon, if i want a nice handling whip that i can throw around without excessive tyre wear, what should one ask for?
  3. you my friend have some interesting diy ideas, the nerdy side of me loves stuff like backup ecu mod. sorry cant answer yoru question, jsut chiming in with that moral support lol
  4. @Conducks you should take this gentleman up on his offer mate, seems like you got the passion for the sport just need someone to guide you the right way
  5. camera is blurry as heck but here ya go. nice way to enjoy my day off haha, happy diwali everyone! Old : Royal Rd intersection with Westgate Drive. Mesiana Church or something. new (yes its not far, i too am lazy, and just as well i didnt go very far, see pic below LOL): extra bonus pic - discovered fuel leak looks like will have to replace one of those fittings hope it's an easy job lol.
  6. im late to the party just catching up on all this haha. thats pretty mint power if at the wheels, but looks like virtual dyno or something? fwiw i ran virtual dyno on road and it says im 350kw, put it on my snapchat and all kinds of ppl got butthurt LOL also what in the hell have you done to your exhaust? i remember hearing clip of it before and it sounded good but now it just sounds like a NA Honda???
  7. take care bro. good to see you having fun on the track, clearly plenty to learn if that vid is anything to go by, did you ever have a driving instructor or cos ur was license paid for (ok cheap dig there sry)? a lot of basic discipline is lacking there. wouldn't be caught dead handling a corolla on streets like that let alone a porsche on track, i remember my instructor would stop the car every time and give me absolute grilling if i didn't have hands in right position or keep hand for a second too long on knob after shifting gear, if my head was not looking at corner exits etc.. take it as constructive criticism only cos you're young and can be pro by time as old as old fart like me. ps. your mates sound like bogan turds. being slightly better (or 'not as bad') than bogan turds doesn't make you smart, it just makes you a slightly more refined bogan turd.
  8. omg i know this one haha, i need to find some time to go snap that pic tomorrow, i also live 30 sec away wish i saw this thread earlier as just parked up.
  9. dam that looks like fun bro! not trying to be some kind of critic cos i am definitely amateur level myself but that hand position is all over the show.
  10. niiiiiiiiiiice! im tryna go back to white on gold atm , it looks so much better than white on silver
  11. i got an early little Christmas appetiser for wrxmas new roof rack goals
  12. LOL love this guys commentary, that british accent just adds further to the comedy. bit outraged about that supra tho, what the heck was he thinking, even crazy 3000hp beasts do not need this level of tyre /spews
  13. im just guessing but could be small leak somewhere maybe on some silicone piping or whatever, maybe leak test tomorrow with some dishwashing soap anyway just cos its quite easy to do? (or atleast it seems to be from what ive seen)
  14. ayy do u have the rubber duck exhaust mod by chance? srs answer sorry not sure bro, i was expecting to hear a nice turbo whistle when i opened the link but it sounds nothing like it at all, i assume that sound is when you floor it , is it quite consistent at certain rev range? does it still seem to pull hard?
  15. LOL so true, the internet is full of those to add a note on that, the above about cruising only applies if your car is factory tuned or tuned well by someone who knows what they doing. if it has been aftermarket tuned you may wish to log some air fuel ratios or have someone look at the map. there are cases where people will tune only for WOT (wide open throttle) driving and neglect those low rev cruising situations also welcome to the forums / the club and throw up some pics of the car when you got a chance.
  16. hi mate, now thats a big job you got on your hands, welcome to the forums and best wishes btw, this isn't James is it?
  17. wow with the number plate and all haha. now that's taking the 'poor mans ferrari' reputation of the MR2 close to the limit.. have seen worse though. knew a guy in the mr2 club (i used to have one too, but it was secretly a batmobile obviously not a ferrari) who spent 50k+ to get custom bodykit for his one to make it look more like the 355. unfortunately it was with the stock engine so it sounded and drove nothing like it. would love to have a real 355 one day, was my childhood dream car
  18. yuck, not a fan of that overly wide look at all. even tho its only photoshop it fully #grindsmygears lol
  19. have seen this up several places on fb didnt realise it was right here in NZ! would be interested to know the story behind this trueno if anyone aware. .. is it just a fan who has put stickers on or something more to it?
  20. @Subirex Automotive has the qualifications for this
  21. didnt answer 2nd part of my question tho the suspicion grows
  22. entered thread thinking this was gonna be instagram filter tips thread, bugger
  23. jeez man where is all your expendable cash comin from are you selling your body after hours?
  24. thats true i should add it's also the first time since i got the car that my savings account value has been going up and not down lol.
