NSW Hello

[92GTO]

Hey everyone
Sooo I don't own a VR4; I have a red 92 GTO.
After looking through my phone to post a photo I realised they are all on the back of tow trucks lol
Anyway I'm from Sydney, I live in Lalor Park atm and met a couple of brothers from Bathurst on the weekend (both with legnums).

Couple of great guys from this forum who helped me load the GTO onto a very narrow car trailer just outside of Orange after finding out my rego had expired and couldn't drive the rest of the way home

Thanks again to these guys if they see this, and look forward to hanging around the forum and meeting fellow Mitsubishi owners.

@LDundon @slickd1 I would assume it was Matt and Lindsay that gave u that help. Only two brothers with legnums. Lol. And out Bathurst way.

Pleasure to have u here mate. U share the diamonds and great taste in cars. I'm sure the rest of the people here would agree.

Post a my ride thread and show us ur pride and joy. Tell us what u have done and going to do. Plenty of knowledge here to help out.
I'm Dan and I'm not too far from u in cranebrook. Holla if u need any fabrication work done. !!

 

[LDundon]

Yeah that was me and Matt Trotty.
Happy to help out! I was wondering if @TME_Steve has ever tuned a 3000GT? Or if he can.
Challenge accepted Steve?
Hope you got home safe and sound @92GTO Bet it was hard to get off the trailer! Although not as hard as it was to put on!
Come along to our next Sydney meet!

Hey @92GTO Glad you found us! You and your brother seemed like nice blokes, and really nice looking car, wish you'd found us earlier, could have saved a fair bit of dosh and likely have twice the power and similar fuel efficiency.

For anyone wondering the choice bit of the little impromptu meet was when @92GTO 's wife asked "can I get my handbag out?", not knowing that seconds before you had climbed out the boot as it was the only available exit after parking the doors in, with the windows up. We deserve an award for tightest car trailer loading ever. The wheels literally touched on both sides, using a doubled over old sheet to stop scratches to the rims as much as possible.

Based on your servicing history so far I would unreservedly recommend @TME_Steve for any further work. With this style of car I have seen him quote under half what some people get charged from run-of-the-mill mechanics, and do a job that's 6 times as good (maybe twice as good).

If you're wanting to learn a bit more you certainly get a fair bit of knowledge just hanging around the likes of @trotty and @TME_Steve.

This car community is hands down the best in Australia. The best bunch of blokes I've come across, everyone's willing to help out each other, and actually happy to teach you stuff and let you learn from them.

Keen to catch up again if there's a meet, and ask your brother to add me on linked in au.linkedin.com/in/MatthewDundon I might be able to swing some work his way in the future.

Only twice? Well i suppose tuning wise if i get you 200kwatw the other guys are only doing 100 so that's not so bad

Alternately I'm a quarter of the price i should be

@LDundon doubt a '92 can be tuned. Not without a chromed ecu anyway. So there is that option

 

[LDundon]

I'd just be really interested to see what it puts out! 3.0L V6 twin TD04s from our discussion. Could you use a Legnum/VR4 ecu and tune it that way? Or you think it'd be completely different?

Welcome to the forum David. I see you've been templated already

Different ecu. More like magna. I think you can swap in later model ecus with a little work iirc

Hey guys thanks again for the hellos, @slickd1 The best part about the handbag story was when we got home and it was pouring with rain.....Guess where the house keys were that was not an easy mission. @LDundon yeah getting it off wasn't to bad untill i seen the rims could have been worse though at least the ramps worked as a good hammer . Not to sure about Linked in i can just PM you details if you like.
