Got a brand new set of 40mm DMS front coilovers today......for $300

[ted]

Ok an update....So the wagon has suffered the dreaded roof rust (Below) But before i took her off the road i took her to the drags (Also below)

She ran 10.1 over the 1/8th at 128kph with nothing but wheelspin so i was very happy!

 

So after alot of debate (hahaha) i bought another wagon....it was too far gone - needed too much work (light green pictured below)

so i bought another on the weekend (Dark green in picture) Everything from the black wagon is going into the dark green asap with a few upgrades.

 

I may have abit of a fetish for lancer wagons

Hahaha....Just for curiosity sake, Whats everyones opinion on the larger side of streetable turbos on 1.8s?

[BYBY5L]

Was this the one you were in when I met ya down that dark sketchy looking rd? lol,
Can't say much about what turbo but by the sounds of it ya definitely need some new sticky tyres, maybe something like an avcr to maximise/control ya boost while ya getting off the line, even rock it old school with a high back/ low front, lol
Need a vid of the 1/8th mile burnout too!
Good stuff though man

[ted]

Hahaha yeah man but it wasnt turboed then haha

Im going a 16g i was just curious on peoples eperience, Yeah i just ran what i drove on every day at the track to see what it would do, It still runs the open diff fwd box i have a awd cyborg box with LSD lined up thats why i asked about a k-frame and x-member better tyres and wheels are definitely on the cards and an Eboost to help

with the traction side of things

svanh1993 has a topic about bigger turbos on g93s. His is a proton gti engine. Its in the general section. Few opinions in there.

[BYBY5L]

Yea I didnt hear any hints of a turbo back then, lol, 16g should be good man, 70km/h 3rd gear rev dump, flat shift to 4th an boom, instant smoke screen, lol
k frame I can help with, although its probly something ya wanna come an get with a trailer, then ya might as well get the block too, lol
x member wise, I gotta couple of messages to shoot off... ill get back to ya soon about it,

[ted]

Hahaha yeah it was an insanely fun car! Haha yeah the 16g will be fun   hahaha funnily enough im in melbourne in 2 weeks

Cheers man

[BYBY5L]

Sweet man! Be sure to drop in, just try an get here earlier this time, lol an make sure ya either got a trailer or an empty boot,

[ted]

Haha yeah man sorry about that, the traffic that day was bullshit!! lol I will keep you updated if im definitely down there in 2 weeks

[BYBY5L]

Haha, "the traffic that day" Let me correct you "the traffic everyday is bullshit!" lol, one of the great features of Melbourne,

[evo-gsr]

That and the " fantastic" weather. ^

[ted]

My ex lived in melbourne and i had a fair grasp on traffic,timing best flow roads and that day blew the last 3 years of a tried a tested method clean

out of the water lol

[jack be nimble]

Motorbike cures all that waiting in line stuff.

[BYBY5L]

Ted can't be picking up engines an k frames on a bike, lol, were not back in "nam"
And riding a bike peak hour on Melbourne freeways is literally like Russian roulette! Although... the confederate hellcat or benelli 1130 carbon would be enough to get me playing,

Ok small update......i did something unthinkable and purchased a jasma cam for my sohc 93 ive also thought i throw the 60-1 on the same engine for shits and giggles i know its close to pointless on a standard bottom end but i have plenty lying around. Trying to obtain a set of forged rods so i can get a few more revs and psi out of it! This is just a fun low cost cari dont take it terribly serious but it does leave alot of mates scratching their heads when i hammer past haha.
