Ok I dont have a skyline but you say all cars welcome and i hope you welcome me :D

I have a 1989 Honda Civic which is Dual CV Carbs.. Now I am slowly doing it up and I am faced with two possibilities,,

number 1) Put 2 high performance carbies on it

number 2) Save up even [i dont like doing] and put a VTEC dohc engine in it which means changing over heaps of other shit...

and for all you people that are going to say sell it and buy a skyline.. I'm not going to do this not because I dislike skylines but the Civic I have is in absolute A1 mint condition and I love it.

ALSO The one reason I would want to change to EFi is so that I can put a turbo in it... I am at the understanding that it is pointless putting a turbo in a carby engine... True or false?

Thanks again

Go the VTEC motor. More modern and you'll love the VTEC scream. Don't bother turbocharging it cause then your spending big bucks and you may as well buy a car with a turbo. By doing that you save the headaches and time associated with it.

      This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way

      This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.

      Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.

      To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
