First car, lil convertible 2003 model n/a or similar. Caryard offered $450 for trade in for the BMW, we sold it for 2.5k haha.

That's true, I might miss the manual but I'm kinda feeling old tbh hahah. S3 could be nice to change to a Euro with the missus, similar pricing, less performance than the m235i though. Honestly feel the performance BMW bang for buck is really up there. Focus RS are nice, overpriced imo but could...

Absolutely great daily, hence why I didn't touch it for so long. Intercooler and tune and it'll feel like a new car if you want to go a little budget. Intake isn't needed at all. I did a roadtrip and got 6.9L/100km, even daily driving with ethanol now I'm getting 9.5-10 which is amazing...

Once again I've managed to come back to these forums and see they're somewhat still active. Just gonna dump my current car down here. BMW boys might like my Missus' new car as well. Focus ST 2.0L Turbo - 252HP stock. What is amazing is my plates from my MPS are '1FAF252' so kinda suits. Bought...

Long time no see everyone. Car is up for sale now, she has served me well. Pushes damn hard @ 23psi of boost and the launches with everything sturdied up go well. Have dished out some nice chops on XR6Ts and Clubsports which I was intending for my next car with current savings but I think I'm...

Facelifted model of these is probably my next very soon. My Mazda 6 MPS has had a good run but time to go more modern. How has it treated you and done any other mods?

What do people use for image hosting nowadays? In other news; the car is back and driving with the following mods: -GT2871r Turbo with External Wastegate -3" Dump Pipe -3" Intake -DGR Adjustable Coilovers -Whiteline Rear Sway Bar -DSS Rear Axles -CP-e Diff Mounts -SP63 Transfer Case Bearings...

Looks like photobucket changed up their image hosting or something. Hadn't really done much, ebay seller never sorted out my stock taillights and then I couldn't apply for a refund which is silly. But about 2 weeks ago the car was stolen, thugs grabbed the keys from right next to me while I was...

More work

Some exciting work being done

Tinted the tailights while I'm still waiting on genuine. Currently looking at a series 2 VZ Maloo hardtop cause they look pretty sexy in my opinion. Have some pics lads, also got my other car back as well

Aaaaand she's back along with my new car in the VZ thread

Cheers guys I appreciate it. The taillights accidentally got send to my address but in a different state haha. Now I'm under the impression that only a Maloo hard cover will fit mine, the twin hump ones look nice though. Might consider a series 2 VZ Maloo hardcover because they look better...

New clutch and whatnot is almost in. Put in stronger Transfer Case bearings for safety and harder launches

Hello my dudes shall just get straight into the new car, wanted to give an LS a go while my Mazda is turning into more of a project. Model: 2005 HSV VZ Maloo R8 Colour: Impulse Blue Bodykit: Maloo bodykit yo Engine Type: 6.0L LS2 at 101,000kms Engine Mods: OTR Intake, FAST Manifold, Cam...

Hey man, Yeah they do quite well, fairly torquey but the turbo doesn't have enough puff for me :P especially being AWD and 1600kg in the 6. Once I start tuning for the new turbo I'll be getting virtual dyno readouts which will give a rough idea of power - I should be cracking 300awhp and should...

Hi guys. So clutch overheated, pressure plate and disc are stuffed. Flywheel has been machined because they have offered half price on a new kit which I cannot complain about whatsoever. Paint melted off the pressure plate as you'll see below. ALSO now have my turbo kit with a surprise...

Apologies for the quick double post. This car is basically turning into a project at this rate.. slave been replaced (The old one was absolutely stuffed) but clutch issue remains. Clutch fork is constantly extended even when the slave is not, so it's heading back to the mechanic to pull it all...

It seems imgur is blocked by my only pc atm, but may upload from phone in future so I'll give it a shot. Here's the pics properly The damage The repair The new daily The new turbo VS stock

That was an april fools, I did similar damage myself via stupid means as I've done a lot with cars hahah. Went offroad, slave cylinder died and while being pulled out the rear tow hitch gave way. Well not the tow hitch, that stayed intact and took the reo bar and part of the chassis with it...

Just got car back after 4 months at panel beaters. Deposit is on a new turbo - GT2871r and supporting mods, currently need to replace the slave cylinder. Stay in touch for more BOOOOOST

How was insurance about the claim? Sucks to hear, as others said at least you are okay

Clutch is all sorted and done, single mass flywheel feels a fair bit different K-Frame dropped That clutch dust though, just from putting it in there. I picked up the disc and flakes fell off Yeah, pretty stuffed. New one is all in Feels good and much more responsive with the...

Heheheheheh

Clutch kit is here :D The engine bays in these are so messy And randomly edited this on my phone, kinda looks sin city style

Following Looks good and will be fun

Rear diffuser looks mint. Nice handiwork doing it yourself, wish I could get around to something like that

I see what you're saying, I find barely anybody does know about these models that's all. Some V8 boys have taken the piss out of my Honda VTEC previously and others have insisted I can't keep up with WRXs. I enjoy the sleeper look but just one this one touch where I can show them it is actually...

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm... I'm really not sure what I want hey. Was thinking of leaving grille on but I would like fellow turbo people to notice coming the other way, I'm very indecisive I know. Like people are only gonna see it from the front and then think 'uhm what' (I get that a lot as is) Other...

So this was the rear CV, will get a cleaned up pic Going to cut out the front grille to make it look more subtle as well as neater but dirty FMIC

Currently sitting in the car my FMIC kit and a second type R 12" sub for maximum bass. Picking up my rear axle on the way home, got a thermostat to replace mine which had a slow leak since I got the car. Will do some work and get pictures soon Edit; The guy I got my FMIC kit also has a 3"...

I just figured lower compression would make it more of a high end thing. my MPS is at max boost at 2.5k rpm with the stock turbo but doesn't an xr6t have a gt35?

I noticed you liked it but didn't respond to him haha

Probably because of the yellow - RAC colour haha. Stock turbo when's it hit full boost? I loved the turbo lag in my 180sx, the new MPS hits full boost at 2.5k so it's a little baby turbo and doesn't hit quite hard enough for my liking, but it's nice to have another AWD Turbo on the forum ;)

The 4ltr has lovely torque, didn't know the XR6T made heaps from 1900rpm, no boost by then surely...?

Is it stock suspension? Rear swaybar, lower springs and stiffer shocks (or coilovers) will help that body roll a fair bit Then there's the bushes and so on

I used to be a six cylinder guy But yeah, exhaust and such helps but I noticed it's more top end so won't help torque wise really...? Lower diff gears is a good point and yeah, supercharger for lower end torque as opposed to turbo if you want F.I. I guess And they actually do quite well for...

Probably made him hard either way right I got a similar sticker on my little window quarter too

I can't see pics but may be the work PC. Should see how it goes down the 1/4 mile :D

+1 on a Golf R Or a GTI? Otherwise get a Mazda 3/6 MPS :)
