Toy car weekend

by Rabster, 30-10-2019, 09:25 AM

Ok so last weekend Pete and i thought it was about time we got all the 1/8 Race cars running

now the last time we got these out was ready for JAE2010 but they never actually got started or used due to other factors at the show :topic:

So we tried again and we had a result

so 1st up on the starting line Hobao Hyper 7








OK so next on the line up is the Hobayo hyper 8.5

4.2 v8 or 2.7 bi turbo???

by Chri5, 28-10-2019, 09:07 PM

looks like i am changing from my rx8 soon
love the car, can fit 4 ppl in easily, get a buggy in the boot etc but unfortunately i need to use car seats so its not really practical.
and as my eldest is moving out then the car will be getting used a lot more.

right so i am looking at changing my motor and the motor i am looking at isn't actually jap. (1st time in nearly 10 years i wont of had a jap motor)
now atm i aren't saying what i am looking at in case it falls through.
but basically there are 2 versions of this motor
1 is 2.7ltr bi turbo producing 261bhp as standard
the other is 4.2ltr producing 344bh as standard plus a whole lot more torque and the glorious v8 tone.

which is going to be easier to run in regards of running, tuning etc.
andwhich would ppl go for???

Just had the car serviced

by Rabster, 28-10-2019, 06:02 AM

OK so following on from my other thread i went and got allt he parts and had the car serviced following parts were purchased

Waterpump
Cam Belt Kit
Oil Filter
Ancillary Belts
Long Life NGK Colder Plugs
New Oil
new coolant

all above including labour was just over 800 all in which i dont think was to bad, considering i had no idea when any of the service work had really been done etc.

they did comment on how well the car had been kept

However did leave with a few advisory,s to do ASAP
Washer pumps had packed up
Rear Fog Light need some attention
O/S/F Inner tyre wear
Front and rear pads Low
Intermittent Headlight.

so will deal with these in coming weeks as its that cold season they are all top of the list.
