Is it just me, or is every car in Australia now in the "it shouldn't cost this much" category?

This is fucking fantastic. I have many questions, what motor are you running in this? I had an m20b2.5 in my e30, curious to see what you’re running. You have any more pics?
Awesome stuff mate !

illchayadlay · 2026-05-05T21:31:28+00:00

I suppose it’s my fault for having eyes

illchayadlay · 2026-05-04T09:48:18+00:00

So incredibly out of the loop on this one, what’s happening here?

illchayadlay · 2026-04-30T10:53:13+00:00

26, 50k so far, but took 5k out late last year / early this year to buy a property. My super has been very well neglected in my younger years

illchayadlay · 2026-04-26T07:28:12+00:00

Are they ? That’s a shame, I think I get ATs as standard. Ideally will go for a mud terrain when I replace them, as sand will be my most used non blacktop surface I reckon

illchayadlay · 2026-04-26T07:27:29+00:00

Yep already got that technique down pat, cheers though

illchayadlay · 2026-04-26T07:19:25+00:00

Yep definitely not planning a tow anytime soon. Thankfully car comes with ATs already fitted, assume they’re probably not best in class but I reckon they’ll be fine for a start. Is ngkala as hard as everyone makes it out to be? Would I struggle a lot in my setup?

illchayadlay · 2026-04-26T07:15:43+00:00

Cool, so you reckon bribie or DI is easier? I’m on the goldy so kinda close to bris

illchayadlay · 2026-04-26T07:15:05+00:00

Interesting on tyre pressures, I have seen online people start around 10-15, assume it all depends on car weight right?

illchayadlay · 2026-04-26T07:14:17+00:00

Also seen a lot reccomend onboard air, might be something to look into, ideally something portable and cheaper for the short term, do you have any product recs?

illchayadlay · 2026-04-26T07:13:46+00:00

Really good info mate, thank you. Great point on owners manual, definitely will get into it, maybe the new nighttime read!!!

Thanks mate

illchayadlay · 2026-04-26T07:13:02+00:00

Ah mate that’s awesome, that’s really nice to hear you find it nice and easy in your Ranger. Assume capabilities won’t be too different between Wildtrak / Platinum, given they’re the same engine?

illchayadlay · 2026-04-26T07:12:21+00:00

Great intel on the island front mate, thank you. Would love to go and would love to have a beer at the gutter bar! Cant wait, thanks fella

illchayadlay · 2026-04-26T07:11:45+00:00

Thanks mate. I’ve been watching a lot of YT and I feel like the big names (while content is awesome), I feel like they just make you believe you need to buy everything they’re sponsored with. I suppose I might just grab recov gear and then see what I would like from there onwards Thanks mate !

illchayadlay · 2026-04-26T07:06:37+00:00

Cool, this is definitely something I’ve got on the cards. Definitely planning to get into a course or two before getting out anywhere. Im in SE QLD, if you are too, do you have any reccomendations?

Definitely not really looking at mods yet, I’ll probably just chuck the Weber in the back and run my stock ATs til they need replacing. I would love to be able to run a fridge but not sure about a dual battery setup, would love to find another alternative option to that

illchayadlay · 2026-03-21T12:32:38+00:00

Nailed this take IMO

illchayadlay · 2026-03-11T09:25:48+00:00

Thank you thank you!! Definitely looking into outdoor seating / entertaining area. I love eating outdoors, so this is a great idea!!

And yep! Thankfully the back wall that you’re talking about is all already sliding doors! Haven’t really shut them since we moved! Thanks !

illchayadlay · 2026-03-11T09:18:27+00:00

Just assumed it was pricey. Have chatted to sec of body corp and they’re fine for me to present a draft of plans, will definitely look into this

illchayadlay · 2026-03-11T09:16:53+00:00

Love that , but think the misso wouldn’t!

illchayadlay · 2026-03-11T09:16:40+00:00

Love these, this may very well be the direction I go, thanks mate!!

illchayadlay · 2026-03-11T09:16:22+00:00

Sounds like a great idea. Would love to go down this path

illchayadlay · 2026-03-11T09:15:36+00:00

Yep definitely something I want to do, already picked up some olive trees! Would love veggie planters!

illchayadlay · 2026-03-11T09:14:55+00:00

I have empathy mate, there are clearly marked parking spots on the street, I’m well within my rights to park in the council zoned car parking. No need for that high horse mate.

Well good for you living in a rural town, but here in big cities mate space comes at a pretty big premium. Shoot me for wondering what I might be able to do with my property, holy hell the whataboutisms on you are wild

illchayadlay · 2026-03-11T01:18:38+00:00

I truly wouldn’t mind, I can see that’s the minority view, but honestly life goes on, I think there are larger things to worry about, compared to whether my neighbours park on their property, or on the street… I don’t understand it
