At least I can take some enjoyment and inspiration from your esteemed example :air_kiss:

God: Yeah I'm stashing the stockers for later and enjoying what is certainly a forbidden fruit right now :)
I just needed to get it out of my system... For a few more months... :P

Intriguingly there's a set of +45 RS+M on the black demo car on the Prova website.
Amazing what a difference the finish, extra width and offset makes: that's the crux of the matter right there :assassin:

So I'm going to have to write them a letter to find out what the deal was with this ltd ed sparkle black set.
They'd look bonkers on a widebody Wrx for example.

Appropos of nothing in particular:
I'm looking for a Forge Motorsport billet IWG actuator and springs :mrgreen:

Such a good sunset location and quite close to home too.
I'm still learning its quirks, next time maybe don't park so close to the fence, since the bridge isn't going anywhere :P

Because they can be fine tuned with different springs.
They look good too.

BB, stock fitment, 200atw @ 15psi w/ supporting mods on 98.
Just researching the go-to turbo rebuild/upgrade ppl in Melbourne... ;)

This being done on a minimal DIY budget, and as such is still months away, avo preFL tmic and vf52 will be FS pending pics...
In the meantime the new TH tune is sensational :)

So I finally stumbled across/config'd the right Tasker profile to let the SGS i9000 do it's thing with Torque.
Basically Tourque does most of the work by itself in its own dashboard mode, switching to gauges when the car is on and sleeping the device when car is off.

Tasker just turns TV Out mode on when the headphones are plugged in and switches key lock off when BT is connected.
I just have to add starting Torque to TV Out mode and I'll be done... With a write up :)

Then I can move on to creating my own gauge skin, and hopefully make a complete PID scan. I'd like Torque to be as useful as the ECUdatascan was/is and approaching the standard of Tactrix Logger :shock:

But... It's all just eye candy. :P

The REAL fun is a drive in country with her Ladyship.
We took the road through the Yarra Valley to Healesville, then along the sensational Chum Creek Road at 6/10ths to Kinglake and down the Bald Spur Road on the way home.

Heavenly... :angel:

Just run something with a 12 or 11 psi spring if you want to run 15.
Kinda flush. Fitment is something. ADM as F*ck.

saw this car a couple weeks back parked on Johnston (or is it Johnson) st in collingwood/fitzroy.
The car definitely stands out, especially when you see the owner of the car nearby, towering over the top of Gambit. ;)

Agreed but I kinda like 9psi for failsafe/spouse mode.
New tune rocks WG pressure.
For gently booting it.

I was just checking out some VIP links...
I eschew the Swarovski/Ormooloo/sticker tuning aspect of it. :bad:
And embrace the old skool stealth Euro tuner side of the movement. :assassin:
But maybe just some Junction Produce cabin pillows :mrgreen:

Brainy it was great randomly catching up with Gambit, you're next :)
