haha yep good rideheight for sure, still dont know what to do with the front bar for the FMIC next year though, it looks tidy like that but I'm undecided, can look a bit dodge when its cut to (hmmm)
RSTurbo
18th August 2005, 08:26 PM
i checked the article out, and in the specs he is only running 6-9psi with a FMIC. thought that was a little low considering.. its also a good power figure if only made at that boost.

9 psi making 147 atw....??

happy dyno?? Who cares anyway!!!! the pics sell this car.
Not a huge fan of white but i gotta be impressed with this one. Red engine bay theme works well with the white duco.
Well done

Bloody nice ride... but R.S.'s look better in Black than white!!!
OB5ESD
18th August 2005, 11:37 PM
157KW @ the wheels @ 14psi. it did happen, i saw it on the dyno and he has the dyno sheet to prove it, should even have a copy of it around here somewhere.

still could be a happy dyno!
but looks the goods!!! V.nice ride

19th August 2005, 11:08 AM
i believe it OB5ESD, dont get me wrong, but I was thinking that figure was only made at 6-9psi as in the article suggests. 14psi with a fMIC is do-able.

then cherry black

19th August 2005, 06:05 PM
as the owner of a cherry back car I have to say I like it best ;) but since seeing speshal's RS recently (fantastic example in white) I have to say its neck in neck, with gold rims white is pretty damn hot
full respray next year, contemplating white w\ gold rims or cherry black with silver or black rims.

19th August 2005, 07:40 PM
cherry black with white rims, big off-set/camber drooolll
maul
19th August 2005, 08:06 PM
Charcoal/Black i reckon would be the best only cos mine is. White looks hot too. But sick to death of gold rims. Funnily enough mine are gold but soon to be gun metal grey.

Thanks peeps!! stoked with the feature!! photo's turned out sweet!! as dan siad, i wasnt expecting it for a couple more months but i aint complaining!!
Just wondering where the 6-9psi bit came from??? where does it say that?? and 147kw?? are you reading the same magazine?
anyhoo!! cheers for the good response!!

whites where its at boys cool and clean, it wouldnt have anything to do with my new body shell from japan being white, i just wont to follow my mentor the SLEEPR in his white bling RS....white always displays a very virginal look with hot under gear.....

Thats because there is a better one going in, in a couple of months.
I'm not offending anyone and that white RS is heaps cool but there is just a better one coming up. Congrats on the article.

21st August 2005, 08:33 PM
no offence taken. i didnt think my feature would be out b4 chris's as he had his photo shoot b4 me! BUT! if thats the way they worked why wouldnt they have put "the better one" in the 150th special issue?
The reason we didnt thik it was gunna be out yet was because our mate's photoshoot for FF was back in october and still is not out.
subarursliberty
22nd August 2005, 12:34 PM
Yeah EVADE posted his car would be in it in the next couple of months. Maybe his car wasn't ready to be in the 150th issue. Who knows. Anyway congrats on the article.
Whit'es the best by the way.

If this was my car i would be offended, grant doesnt pour his entire paycheck into the car so to get his car looking this tidy and making the power it does aswell as getting married, having a house at 23, i think its quite a good achievement.
Akira
22nd August 2005, 05:00 PM
Just saw the article... what a great way to remember your cousin!!
One very nice ride, looks great outside, and has the power where it counts by the looks of the spec sheet!
But I am a fan of the darker colours :D

this is a very valid point. good on ya mate for getting where you are already at such a young age.
but i dont think anyone was trying to be offensive in the first place. anyone could have their lib as good and as fast as Evades if they wanted, but there are other things in life people spend their money on other than their car.

Yeah no worries rice.
I think Grants is fantastic and way better than mine. That thing belongs in a magazine.

Yeah im with grant this thread is about his awsome ride not preffered colour.
P.S, Grant love the car I went to auto salon just to see your car must have been drooling over it for at least half an hour lol just love everything about it, am hoping to have my LX all done up next year with a 92 rs fwd conversion.
Also I saw evades car ages back in SPEED magazine issue 14 was a great article.

Too many people are selling their pride and joys if I had the money id already have a 6 car garage stacked with subbies. no house just one big arse garage.

True lol, but well worth it to build a strong motor with a decent turbo on it you cant go wrong. Only when the cops never leave you alone.

Engineer it then whenever you get defected or pulled over just show them the papers. That's what I'm doing

BAD RS- ur car is mint, very well presented and is so simular to what my car is going to look like,i ordered the wheels you have on like 2 days before i saw this lol...
anyway, good inspiration, color coding looks the biz 2 mate...
good job on it...

cops have the right to disregard any engineers papers, seen it done here a heap of times but its the best way to go.

Yes, I know that Dan. But if they defect you, you can get it cleared with no hassle
Fergo
30th August 2005, 08:01 PM
Its the only option in nsw if you dont want to have to have all your hard work destroyed by defects. Grant your car is too good to sell, but I know it sucks to have cops on you all the time.
SC00BS
30th August 2005, 08:12 PM
Feb last year I was defected and fined by the RTA, EPA and the cops all at the same time. Car didn't see the road till September, so I know all about defects. Every car I've owned has been defected
Fergo
30th August 2005, 08:28 PM
OUCH big time I am so getting everything engineered when I do my turbo conversion.
I just cant go without a car mine has been off the road for four days had to replace the key in the crankshaft timing sprocket and harmonic balancer man some dodgy mechanic had been at my car before I got it. Thats all good but heard a major rattling noise hmmm my cat converter is screwed big time have a spare lying around so am gettin matching plates welded onto it tomoz.
To make a point i just cant afford to get defected and screw around getting them cleared.

30th August 2005, 08:31 PM
Make sure you're not doing any more mods once you get it engineered. Engineers like to charge you for their service everytime they write you a new report
flash
31st August 2005, 12:17 PM
you can always do a degree in mechanical engineering and have a heap of professional idemnity andiam sure you will do the RS boys at no cost to repair a report for their mods......it will take at least 4 years of your life to complete, thats if you dont flunk any units, plus at the end have a heap of HEX to pay the government...what a miserable mob of bastards to charge for their service........
