JetDat - funny you should mention that, I have just seen one of the black carbon jobbie ones pass me at some insane speed on the motorway!

Husnu - thanks mate, appreciated, will let you know.

Liberty suggestions - We already have an RX (one from November DECA) which is an awesome car so dont really want another. I want something that packs a lot of punch and can be chucked around without blowing up (in the short term). Would go the cossie again but no good for a daily driver on spares.

I originally looked at an EVO 9 or STI MY06 but they would be novated and when I can get an EVO 6 or a MY00 STI for the 30-35K mark, I think I would prefer that. Also with the novated, last thing I want is to be paying out a fair amount of $$ each month out of my salary, only to not own the car at the end.

The other issue is the $$ I have been allocated for a car which is about 10K a year. I dont want to be eating into what my normal take home salary is especially with just getting a mortgage.

I have also looked at tacking a bit extra on to the mortgage but as we only just have enough for the deposit, it would mean paying mortgage insurance.

Anyway, keep the suggestions and opinions coming. :(

just put an offer on a property myself so i decided not to get anything for a while :(

also i forgot to add if you think of an a4 turbo or any other audi takes your fancy pm me , i have a good contact pretty high up in the audi melbourne centre...

Do it! :unsure:

LOL! :D

That or the Evo are getting my vote. Just need to do some final sums on purchase price vs cost of ownership.

If anyone knows the rough servicing costs on an Evo 6 and also who can do them (i.e Mitsubishi or whether it has to be an import specialist) that would be great. My mate owned a 6 back in 1999 when they first landed in the UK and running it was astronomical so I am hoping they have come down a bit.

    • Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!
    • Do you have some data like fuel pressure? It's really hard to say if you're still fighting a fuel system issue at this point. Could be something weird like the FPCM dipping out.
    • Yeah in that case, pulling the dent out. Event a very slight dent can create a lot of work filler-wise and there is a strong chance the panel won't be the factory shape when you are done (as the dent will result in a new high point created somewhere, then everything is brought up to that new high point... but the panel shouldn't be that high if that makes sense).  So you've filled and primed the panel and it is flat, why would you go back and remove the primer and add more filler? 
    • Something else I have been faffing with while the car was off the road is making the AC work. Assuming the car isn't at a thermal limit the idea of having AC while waiting in line to go on track sounds delightful. I have actually been lugging around the weight of the entire system since 2018 when the RB25NEO went in without it working at all.  The main reason was in the first few events before I got around to re-gassing it the rubber hose that runs under the manifold had the factory heat wrap/sleeve fail resulting in this: ~2 years ago I purchased a complete used R32 AC line set but when I finally went to install it the line i needed was different where the expansion section is I found a local place that was able to replace the rubber section and re-crimp. They also added some modern heat sleeve to the hose Tight fit but fingers crossed this is the last physical piece of the puzzle needed
    • the top black section is bonded to the silver section with some form of rubber. I assume to isolated NVH from the box
