Yeah but thats a different kettle of fish, its not a 'nice' car its a track car. More and more nowadays I care not for track cars

Ok then, the other other one. Han's is comfy as.

But not the other other other one, it's slow and horrid.

I used to own a red MY99 WRX and went very well for minimum mods, but then I purchased a near dead stock R32 GTR and said to myself "why did I ever bother with a WRX?"

My current daily STI is far nicer than my GTR ever was. It's cheaper to run and insure and so far is only 0.3sec slower down the quarter for similar mods.

It also has an oil system that doesn't try and lunch my motor whenever it sees a long bend in the road.

That being said, when I had the GTR I swore black and blue I'd never have one of those WRX buckets of crap.

A stock wrx to a stock STI is more of a performance gap than people realise too. You wouldn't assume a GTSt was just like a GTR would you...

An STI at that time was a lot better than a WRX.

Pretty much went to shit when they jumped to the 2.5L motors.

- not entirely fair to the 06/07's though, they seem to not be made of the same paper-mache of the 08+

I've never said the WRX (STI) was a bucket of crap! I have a strong affection for the Nissan GTR's that will always run much deeper in my veins than the Subi will ever will.

Really discussing oiling issues on the RB's?!

I've driven both the standard WRX and STI (type R) and performance wise...........well it did not really give me a hard on.

What happens in your pants is your business and yours alone my friend...

Evidently you can pop back in once every few years and not miss anything of substance.

There has never been anything of substance.

Speaking of no substance all we need is Josh here for true and proper whoring lol

Holden bloke... Soooo pass and I'm more looking for a small car

I swear I replied to this but it didnt show.

I had an excel a while back. Unkillable and cheap. Averaged around 6L/100, parts cost next to nothing and I didnt service it for 35000km and i stayed alive. As a runaround it was pretty amazing.

Pass my sister had one nothing but problems and i hated the thing hated working on it hated driving it juststraightuphateit

Bought It off her for 100 went for a skid day in a paddock on a mates farm rolled it a few time. Blew the motor and burnt it. Best thing the car did was burn

And tony that's a possibility, but wanting a small car like a mirage, starlet, rolla or something like that a little hatch

    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z
