Exhaust. Madness. Trying to get to the drag strip before I fly out to work again. Utterly mental noise.

Roll the dice, cancel the TEGIW@NK manifold, get TODA, run Buddyclub spec 3 exhaust. Smile and worry about legalities later. :) haha

So... my wife borrowed the car a few months back, took it up to city with my daughter, somehow managed to park the front lip ONTO the parking bump stock, in doing so it's popped the bottom loose. Thats on the cards for a fix, along with removing the bolt holes on the front bumper, entire new...

That may have been the third time I got bogged on my drive... haha. 64k km's in 2 years, it's my commute/toy.

Fitted H&R lowering springs, 13mm and 15mm spacers plus a MST V2 intake. RK Titanium track spec single exit exhaust ordered. If only I could keep it this clean at the moment.. :(

Little update, spend $60 to enable apple carplay, finally got around to loading bootcamp on the macbook to run windows. Flashed the headunit and damn, it works! Had a run down the drag strip, random after work wednesday night thing, best time was 12.201 1/4 mile at 198.61 kph. Didn't try a...

Picked up a carbon spoiler, will do for now or until I decide to go full attention seeking whore and get a BGW. Cleaned it as well, ceramic coating made that an utter breeze. Next up springs and spacers till I find a set of wheels I like. Then intake and titanium exhaust.

After 3 you’re fvcked anyway, why not go full retard.

Stagnated a bit due to impending 5th child. Still trying to beg/borrow/steal a windows laptop to activate apple CarPlay. On the hunt for some cheaper cosmetic tweaks, 15mm spaces/springs and carbon rear spoiler. Then once cash frees up I’ll go a little more retarded. :asw:

And why not another video: https://youtu.be/RpPjkYlZ3n8

That’s the beauty of it, she’s never been in it. :lol: The perks of her being pregnant, always take the Patrol when we go out.

All the burbles can be changed, using bootmod3 just change the values this is on a 7 for aggression and mid point for duration.

Have to forgive the filming, recruited one of my Twins :lol: https://youtu.be/YdFDQWjD0_Q https://youtu.be/oz9tn6IM7WA

Downpipe and tune complete. I’m so fvcked. :o The aggression is off the charts. Will do a video later. Where before it was “pops and bangs” but otherwise sounded a bit choked, it’s like gun shots and the exhaust note just pleases me. Can’t wait to get a full titanium exhaust, two...

Soo, picked up the activation code and OBD-Enet cable, not changed out the downpipe yet. Job for tomorrow. Set up BM3 and tweaked a few settings, deactivated the “active sound” and tweaked the burbles etc then flashed the stock map. Holy sh1tballs. Decat going on tomorrow, fully expecting to...

Contacted the companies I ordered parts from, going to collect tomorrow instead. Haha. Saves waiting around on shipping. Also, quick vid of stock car, because pops and bangs... https://youtu.be/kXFdXDUNKT4

Still waiting on delivery for downpipe and tune :( However had a Movember work "cruise" to raise money. My mates Mustang almost made me regret not getting one, till I had a run through the Perth hills and utterly destroyed him. :lol: Slight turbo suction sound aroused me greatly...

Theres a few good tuning options knocking around now. Just ordered Boodmod3 and a de-cat downpipe for now. Stage 1 tune will put it at about 420 whp.

So I umm'd and ahhhh'd for a while, test drove the hell out of a few cars and felt that this was a suitable toy: I've got the Patrol V8 that will be getting some mods after Christmas, exhaust/bar/wheels so that will satisfy the urge for a V8 grumble. The Supra will be getting...

Went down south, was awesome. Smiles not miles per litre..

I did actually measure and move things, the spare pavers will be going soon meaning it's not as snug as it looks. Also, once I find a rear bar/bumper replacement that doesn't look sh!t the spare is getting mounted on that and an auxiliary tank is going to be fitted, 140l. So theoretical max...

Felt it was about time to upgrade the Patrol of Doom to something more functional so a brand new Patrol it was! Still have a load of modifications to sort, tyres/lift/bar/camping etc 5.6litre petrol V8. Going to need an exhaust on there too. :D Obvious first question, fuel, 120litres in...

True, they are about to double the fines. :lol:

Depends on the country. Routinely see north of 200kph, never see police. :lol:

Have only ever seen one of these on the roads in New York of all places. Looks quite special indeed. Won't be seeing too many out here either by the looks of these: 2014 Model New they water the eyes

Fixed.

Due to arrive in dealers October out here, tempted to have a poke around. Although at "From $58,085*" it's firmly placed in competition with the V8 mustang, so my plans are probably not going to change.

Still got this Suits?

I may have registered my interest with Honda Australia, seeing as this is the first Type R to make it downunder in a long time I am tempted. When it comes time to put money on the line, I am currently torn between the V8 mustang, 370z and this. The usual Commo(whore)dore HSV and Ford FPV's just...

Might have to arrange a beer/drive when I am over in July. :lol:

Well played Dott. 'tis a thing of beauty.

Video states "rear bench seats two"

This is launching in Australia to, might have to give it a look :)

That "new"civic has been out in Australia for a little while, I reckon with a few tweaks it would look pretty mean. Waiting to see what the Type R looks like when it's released. Although I am finding it hard to look at FWD 4 cylinders with any sort of desire.

And yours is packed full of turds. So you are going th FK route? Must be quite a car to make you part with the FD. Fair play.

These shape civics are knocking around out here, had a look at one in the Honda dealership, quite like it if it was RWD and 350bhp+. However it won't be.

Love the colour. Kinda pi$$ed they don't sell them over here :(

Only about £1200 when I bought mine.

AP Racing.

Far too much of this thread is talking about MPG and how high a number you can get, should be the reverse IMO. More noise and flames.

They are growing more on me.. Damn Australia.

Registration R8 Fvck You? Approve.

Yes. But it's a little different out here. :lol: Just pay rego for the car and you're covered 3rd Party F&T. (It's pretty much the same as the tax discs of old...) Patrol was $7-800 for the year, swift sport was $400 ish. Then insurance is $35 a month on each.

So that was a load of sh1t in hindsight... About two months ago the fuel pump wheezed it's last breath, mid drive back from school. Thankfully, within 20min of posting a picture/dropping a pin in a facebook group I had a 79 landcruizer ute roll up and tow me home for free. Oh then there was...

Nice indeed, shocked at the price differential between the UK and here, I'll echo whats been said above its a lot of car for the money. Oh and to illustrate my point...

Oil drops to $49 a barrel, these fvckers are still pushing econosh!tboxes.

Nice looking build there bud. Exhaust also looks pretty well put together.

The Birmingham/Bradistan postcode will not be helping..

When this happens, don't even bother wasting time calling the company. Change. They do this to effectively remove risks they do not want to cover anymore. By charging a patently obscene figure they expect you to walk away.

I felt the change form standard to spoons was a bit meh, the change from spoons to AP considerably more impressive.

Surprised this is my first post in the topic, fvck knows I have been stalking this thread long enough.. Paint has come up a treat, wheels = fvck yes. Spoons = should have gone AP ;) I often cop flack for liking the s2000 so much, over so long.. but I still think I'll end up buying one. Even...

You seem to choke a lot on branded items...

Good work Loxinator. Approaching halfway point in my degree, pending interview results from Crown Casino I may be increasing my spending pennies by $400 per week... Just WISH Hooondhuur moved their ass and launched the AUDM Type R..

Need to heat up that knob, till the tips blue again..

Starter motor thought today was a good day to die. Just after we got the boys excited for a day out.. fvck you cars. So, new one needed. Called Nissan, oh that would be $800.. fvck you Nissan. Autoparts = $370. Cycled up, collected and popped back and fitted the new one in under 2 hours...

Got bogged to hell today, :lol: Miscalculated the depth/solidity of the river bed, meaning a much steeper approach angle than I expected and a very firmly wedged pootrol. Cue the children helping extract, well.. Yes I was in a world of sh1t, till I got snatched out backwards then...

Crankshaft seal was sorted a while back, massive torrential rain created huge puddles which allowed me to "clean" the car enough to see if any new oil leaked. It didn't. Great success. Oh just the rear shock bushes are now shot to sh1t, :lol: , may look at increasing the lift to 4-5inch rather...

And it's the crankshaft front oil seal(from what a mate who's a mechanic told me), need to remove radiator/belts/harmonic balancer then swap out the seal. 4+ hrs work he reckons. Doing it for a "carton of p1ss". Fvcking love Australia. Everything can be bought/bartered with Beer.

So I am supposed to be working on 4,000 words of assignment, due next week, however I may have just removed the bonnet on the wagon. All so I can access two b@stard rocker cover screws that were not tightened correctly. Hopefully I will no longer be trying to burn the car to the ground.

Plus point to the mud, helped me identify where it's leaking oil.. :lol: Rockercover Gasket and oil filter appear to be leaking slightly, leading to a glorious smell of burnt oil as it dripped onto the manifold.. MOAR SPANNERS!

This was clean this morning:

Ready for the mud: Then much of this happened, was almost over the bonnet, in a petrol without snorkel.. bit twitchy bumhole as it spluttered a bit afterwards.. but the careful placement of the air intake directly above the exhaust manifold ensure the searing heat dried the filter out...

That it would. Expecting to do more of the same on Sunday.

Not that pish..

Well, it wouldn't be Australian if it didn't like a drink...

Thought it might be entertaining throwing up a thread dedicated to my hideously inefficient family beater. When we were looking at emigrating down here we were set on shipping our old car, 2005 Discovery 3 HSE, but when push came to shove it just wasn't worth spending £6000 to ship a £10-12k...

Still registered as a 1.4...? :lol: Looks good, spent a fair whack on it but not sure the XXR 527's stack up. You say FD2R you just mean the Type R not the RR?

Was his old car, tactical sale was tactical. :lol:

burn car with Walkden in it, dodgey rogue is worse than a Bradistan car dealer.. Though, replace cat, sort brakes and remove HIDs. Then find a "friendly" MOT place. Sh1t my MX5 passed easily enough, same for my CTR when it was turbo'd..

Remove the swear filter for paid supporters. Monthly/yearly photo contests, £XX.XX to enter, winner gets pic as forum header for the duration and a framed print, surplus funds to club?

This makes me want one. By the times I'm done with uni they might be on my shores ;)

So.. 4 or 5 seater? :lol:

Would look better once wheels fit the arches. From what I have read, not going to be out till 2017 over here :( Leaves 2 years to work on convincing the wife that I will only ever need to take 3 of the children out at a time...

I'd be tempted to have a poke around if they land this side of the world. However only if the seatbelts remain red.

I ran 225/40/18 with coilovers and they fit fine.

Starts thread for car not even in the country yet. 100 replies. Sale thread going up before we hit 200? And it UK shores...? ;)

Between $30k to $60k, so 2010 for £18k

Be interested to see if these make it out here. Christ knows I see enough Golf R's knocking about.

£918+VAT MUGEN option... £399 TEGIWANK copy, eta 6months....

Hit a new low out here, combined with the discount offered all over the place for shopping at certain places etc, got 14c off a litre bringing it to $0.984 a litre. Or roughly £0.53p.

Just hit $1.18 per litre at the local vehicular watering hole. Equates to roughly £0.62

Awesome car matey. So much want. Just pi$$ed that the cheapest out here rocks in at £33k..

Welcome. Nice S2k btw, I have seen one or two of the smart roadsters before but never moving. :lol: If I were you, wait till the launch of the new CTR, will likely see a slew of well maintained late model FN2's pop up preceding and immediately after the launch. If I recall, the late models...

Had an exchange via facebook with honda australia, no current plans to release the CTR on the AUDM.. Now considering personal import from Japan.. Damn honduuuur.

Need to fit 3 kids in the back to even stand a chance of talking the wife round. :lol:

Hoping against hope it seats 5...

I do quite hope they release this over here.. Want a drive.

Woah, don't want to go getting it confused with a 4x4...

So, this going to see any mud then?

If you do not have k100 or Kpro, or another remappable ECU, he will not "get something out of it". If he does, walk away as you are being scammed.

I see where you went wrong, Birmingham + car = (you - money) x (rage + handling stolen goods charge)

Yes it's possible, but why? I have always thought that NOS is only worth while if you're actually drag racing. No not racing your mates at the lights. The hassle of having to change cylinders etc. Plus there is the cost, a proper install will cost what? £1k or so? JRSC isn't much more and it's...
